Hate to Leave
Departure Reflections: Unveiling Betrayal and Embracing Change
Lyrics
I hate to leave but I must go
I feel reluctant about leaving, but it's necessary.
As everyone must join the show
Leaving is a universal experience that everyone must go through.
I have to leave you but I must
Despite my feelings, I must part ways with you.
Has everyone betrayed your trust
Has everyone let you down or broken your trust?
I'm blind
I lack awareness or understanding.
To everybody in a different state of mind
I am oblivious to others who have a different perspective.
I'm searching for another place to hide
I'm actively seeking a place of refuge or concealment.
With an omission of the pseudo-political
Avoiding involvement in false or insincere political matters.
I'm taking all of this in stride
I'm handling everything calmly and confidently.
I hate to leave you but I'm going
I dislike leaving you, but I have to go.
There's much more of this world to get to knowing
There's much more to explore and understand in the world.
And these walls are closing in
I feel trapped or constrained by my surroundings.
I'm walking a line, I'm making a sign
I'm maintaining balance and signaling to stay on track.
To keep on top of it before I start going blind
To stay aware and prevent losing clarity or understanding.
I'm taking all of this in stride
I'm handling everything calmly and confidently (repeated).
Take me home, take me inside
Bring me back to a familiar and comforting place.
I want to see you before you go
I want to see you before our separation.
And say "that's alright, we'll all get tied tonight"
Assuring that everything will be okay despite challenges.
Everyone sitting around the firelight
People gathered around a fire, possibly symbolizing unity or warmth.
I believe it when it happens to me
I will believe in something only when it directly affects me.
I'm walking a line and you're living your life
I'm maintaining my path, while you are living your own life.
