Worry Be Gone
Worry Be Gone: Liberation in Letting Go
Lyrics
Tryin' to learn just
Expressing the effort to understand which challenges or problems to confront.
Which ones to fight
Reflecting on the decision of choosing battles wisely.
And which ones to let go
Contemplating the choice of letting go of certain issues.
Gettin' burned always trying to make
Conveying the struggle of trying to correct things beyond one's control, often leading to personal harm.
Right all these things I can't control
Acknowledging the existence of things beyond one's control causing distress.
Your voice inside my head
Referring to the inner thoughts or conscience influencing emotions.
To cut me down again
Describing a negative internal influence attempting to undermine the person.
I wasted so much time on ya
Expressing regret about investing significant time in someone.
You drained me like a free rider
Feeling emotionally drained by someone taking advantage without giving in return.
Pulled you like a weed
Metaphorically pulling away from a negative influence but facing resistance.
You grew right back on me
Describing a persistent negative influence that keeps returning.
Oh, worry be gone
Expressing a desire to overcome worries and anxieties.
Snuck in like a midnight thief
Describing worry creeping in subtly and negatively affecting one's well-being.
chokin' out the light I need
Illustrating worry as obstructing the positive aspects needed in life.
Played me like a fool
Indicating being deceived and manipulated by someone.
So I changed the locks on you
Taking action to protect oneself by metaphorically changing locks.
Oh, worry be gone
Reiterating the desire to be free from worries and anxieties.
Weighed down,
Feeling burdened or overwhelmed.
But I drug you around
Describing the act of dragging along a burdensome influence.
like the oxen bear the yoke
Using the oxen and yoke metaphor to portray a heavy burden.
Tryin' to plow,
Attempting to move forward despite the burdens.
Tryin' to cut through the ground
Striving to break through obstacles and challenges.
With a pocketful of dreams to sow
Having aspirations and dreams despite the difficulties.
Your voice inside my head
Repeating the influence of negative thoughts or voices in the mind.
To cut me down again
Highlighting the recurring impact of internal negativity.
Birds are fed and the flowers
Observing the beauty of nature created by a higher power.
Are dressed by Abba's hand, I know
Acknowledging divine intervention in the beauty of the world.
Here I am loosing sleep, gettin Stressed over every bump
Expressing distress and anxiety over trivial issues in life.
On the road
Feeling troubled by every obstacle encountered on the journey.
So I gotta let you go and move on
Deciding to release the negative influence and move forward.
