Turn The Tide
Embracing Change: Battling Loss and Moving Forward
Lyrics
Somebody told me you'd be gone
Someone informed the speaker about your departure.
When I opened up my eyes
Upon opening my eyes, I realized the truth.
I'm just so tired of being strong, now
Feeling exhausted from maintaining strength.
I'm waking up
Repetition of "I'm waking up" signifies a realization or awakening.
I'm waking up
-I'm waking up, oh
-I'm waking up
-I'm waking up
-I'm waking up, oh
-We're holding on
We are persevering or enduring.
But you know it's now or never
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, it's now or never.
We can try, we can try
Expressing the willingness to make an effort.
But you know it's only weather
Acknowledging that challenges are temporary like weather.
I know, I know
Assurance of understanding.
We were innocent and young
Reflecting on a time of innocence and youth.
We can try, we can try
Reiterating the commitment to try.
To turn the tide
Expressing the desire to change the course of events.
Turn the tide
-I wanna leave this world behind
Wanting to leave the current existence.
I wanna leave you in it
Wishing to leave someone behind.
And never open up my eyes, again
Desiring to avoid facing reality again.
I'm waking up
Repetition of "I'm waking up" continues the theme of realization.
I'm waking up
-I'm waking up, oh
-I'm waking up
-I'm waking up
-I'm waking up, oh
-We're holding on
Continuing to hold on despite challenges.
But you know it's now or never
Emphasizing the urgency of the moment.
We can try, we can try
Reaffirming the commitment to try and make a difference.
But you know it's only weather
Comparing difficulties to transient weather conditions.
Oh I know, I know
Reiteration of understanding and knowledge.
We were innocent and young
Nostalgic reflection on a time of innocence and youth.
We can try, we can try
Persisting in the effort to change the situation.
To turn the tide
Repeated emphasis on the desire to turn the tide.
Turn the tide
-We turn the tide
Repetition of "We turn the tide" signifies collective effort and determination.
Turn the tide
-We turn the tide
-We turn the tide
-Turn the tide
Final call to action, emphasizing the need to turn the tide.
