Dorothy Gale
Beyond Goodbyes: Dorothy Gale's Journey Over the Rainbow
Lyrics
How's it been since you left
Asking about life since the departure
How's it been since you ask
Asking about the current state since inquiring
Been giving all the time again
Investing time again with no return
Just to see you not come back (oh aww)
Expressing disappointment in your absence
You ain't with it
Not in agreement or alignment
You said you finished you
Claiming to have moved on from you
Been talking around
Talking about, spreading a message
Telling ya boys they ain't got nothing worry about (ohh)
Reassuring friends that there's nothing to worry about
Where I'm going's unknown
Uncertain about the destination
Steady feeling so so
Feeling average or indifferent
Only here when they say no
Present only when denied
Doubtful to the outcome
Uncertain about the result
Been pushed out the way before
Previously sidelined or ignored
Out the door
Exiting, taking keys and car
Leaving with the keys, the car
Leaving abruptly
Need to be on the road, I'll write a letter tomorrow
Planning to write a letter and hit the road
Uh... I'm out girl, I'm out girl
Explicitly leaving or ending a situation
So about last night
Reference to a past event
Somewhere, Dorothy Gale, over the rainbow
Reference to "Dorothy Gale" and the journey over the rainbow
Skies are blue, Dorothy Gale
-Beyond the moon, beyond the rain
-Lost and gone, I ran away from home
Having left and not returning
See we're not in Kansas anymore
Metaphor for being in an unfamiliar place
My all white shoes turning red rose
Symbolic change in circumstances
We can walk this path of pure gold
Optimistic path ahead
From all the stars in the sky
Symbolism of admiration
You caught more then my eye
Caught attention and affection
My hourglass of red velvet
Symbolic reference to time and passion
Our time flipped in an instant
Rapid change in the relationship
Over hills, over fields, over til the sunrise
Symbolic journey till sunrise
Got a brain and heart I'll save
Protecting intelligence and emotions
Courage of a saint I can not explain
Having unexplained bravery
But things change
Acknowledging change
Tell me who's to blame
Questioning responsibility for change
So hard to say goodbye
Expressing difficulty in parting
Don't cry, don't cry
Encouraging not to shed tears
I gave you my time
Highlighting the investment of time
Let's play back, rewind
Suggesting rewinding to revisit the past
Let me close my eyes
Preparing to reflect or reminisce
I pray that, we'll get back
Expressing hope for reconciliation
I pray that, we'll get back (ohh)
-There's no place like home
Quoting "There's no place like home," suggesting longing for familiarity
There's no place like home
-So about last night
Reiteration of Dorothy Gale metaphor
Somewhere, Dorothy Gale, over the rainbow
-Skies are blue, Dorothy Gale
-Beyond the moon, beyond the rain
-I want more, then what you've been giving me
Expressing desire for more than what has been given or communicated
I want more, then what you've been telling me
-I want more, then what you've been giving me
-From what you've been telling me
-You go, snowfall
Metaphor of a snowfall, possibly referring to emotional detachment
This field of love has you sleeping all this time
Describing a love that has been dormant
Remarkable, divine my god tell me why
Expressing awe or admiration, seeking understanding
Shed some light on a sign
Requesting guidance or clarification
Waking back up in the crib now
Reflecting on changes, potential regrets, and a daring act
Feel a little different in my whip now
-Out way, already on my list now
-It's the old me, should of stayed loyal
-Got a frame of our time on my bedside
-Got a foot on the pedal going overdrive
-Stole ya lambo, hitting hundo
-Let me make sure that the wings spread when I let go
-So about last night
Reiteration of Dorothy Gale metaphor
Somewhere, Dorothy Gale, over the rainbow
-Skies are blue, Dorothy Gale
-Beyond the moon, beyond the rain
-I want more
Repetition of the desire for more
I want more
-I want more
-I want more
