Leave It All
Embracing Darkness: Orenda Fink's 'Leave It All' Reveals a Surrender to Life's Twists
Lyrics
On a bridge by the mill
Being on a bridge near a mill, setting the stage for a significant moment or decision.
I laid down my life
Symbolic act of sacrificing or giving up one's life for something.
I opened my arms
Openly accepting or welcoming a particular situation or experience.
Embraced the night
Facing and embracing the darkness or challenges in life.
And with no wings to fly
Expressing a lack of means or ability to escape, resulting in a fall.
I fell
Experiencing a downfall or failure due to the absence of necessary support.
I leave it all
Deciding to abandon or relinquish everything in a dramatic manner.
I leave it all
Repeating the decision to leave everything behind for emphasis.
The things that I said
Expressing regret for spoken words and a desire to retract them if possible.
I'd take them back if I could
Acknowledging the desire to undo past statements or actions.
The god to whom I prayed,
Referencing a deity or higher power, suggesting a sense of betrayal or disappointment.
Played a trick on me good
Feeling deceived or manipulated by the divine force.
Now I see his face, it's just as well
Accepting the reality of the divine figure, regardless of the trickery involved.
I leave it all, I leave it all
Reiterating the decision to leave everything behind despite the encounter with the divine.
I leave it all
Emphasizing the determination to abandon all aspects of life.
Vanishing into the night
Describing a disappearance or fading away into the darkness or unknown.
I leave it all
Repeating the decision to leave everything, emphasizing the act of vanishing.
I leave it all
Reiterating the comprehensive abandonment of all aspects of life.
I leave it all
Underlining the finality and completeness of the decision to leave everything behind.
I leave it all
Affirming the resolute choice to abandon everything, concluding the narrative.
