Heading North
Journey to Redemption: Roseanne Reid's Heading North
Lyrics
Girl I'm heading North again
Expressing the singer's intention to travel north.
My bags are packed I'm leaving on the wind
Indicating readiness to depart, with belongings packed and reliance on the wind for travel.
Cos I'm lead astray, come break of day
Feeling misled and compelled to leave by daybreak.
And if you ain't glad, girl you ought to be
Suggesting that if the listener isn't happy, they should be, possibly due to the singer's departure.
Cos I'm heading North, got it all to see
Stating the purpose of the journey as exploring the northern region with much to discover.
Got it all to see
Reiterating the vastness of what lies ahead.
Ah girl I gotta keep my wings on hand
Emphasizing the need to be free and ready for flight.
Cos I've only been given so much time to land
Highlighting the limited time for staying grounded and the importance of maintaining the ability to soar.
And this deadbeat down ain't worth hanging round
Describing the current location as uninspiring or unsuitable for the singer.
Got to get my feet onto higher ground
Expressing the urgency to move to a higher and better place.
Cos I'm heading North, can't you hear the sound
Reaffirming the journey north and urging the listener to recognize it.
Can't you hear the sound
Repeating the call to acknowledge the journey with an auditory reference.
And girl you know I've seen a million skies
Reflecting on the vast experiences, particularly the skies witnessed by the singer.
But only one drives me to apologize
Acknowledging a specific sky that evokes regret and the need to apologize.
For the life I lead, all the times I leave
Tying the singer's lifestyle choices to apologies, potentially expressing remorse for past actions.
Where the sun anoints the Juniper trees
Describing a geographical location with juniper trees where the singer feels the need to seek redemption.
Cos I'm heading North, arriving on my knees
Reiterating the journey north, arriving in a humble or repentant manner.
Arriving on my knees
Emphasizing the humility or vulnerability of the singer upon reaching the northern destination.
