Left to Die
Embrace the Bitter Sweet Symphony of Liberation
Lyrics
Take me down to the hanging tree
Desire to face consequences or punishment
You ain't doing nothing
Not contributing positively
But setting me free
Releasing the speaker from a burden or restraint
Take me down to the hanging tree
Repetition of line 1, emphasizing the plea
Put my name down to rest
Request for closure or finality in death
And let me be
Desire for peace or freedom from turmoil
I was born by surprise
Feeling of being an unexpected arrival
And left to die
Sense of abandonment or neglect
But I've always cared for mine
Commitment to caring for loved ones
But now I must say my goodbye
Acceptance of departure or death
I got lost on my way on way
Feeling lost and directionless
I've beat and burnt
Enduring hardship and self-inflicted pain
My own name
Devaluing oneself or reputation
I don't deserve the light of day
Belief in unworthiness or guilt
To live in the past
Warning against dwelling on the past
Is to rot away
Concept of decay through nostalgia
And to live in place
Advising against stagnation or lack of progress
Is to waste away your days
Emphasis on wasting life in a familiar place
And you won't sleep
Struggling with insomnia due to unfulfilled aspirations
Because you can't dream
Lack of ability to dream or envision a better future
Lost in your mind
Being lost in one's thoughts or struggles
And you've gone to deep
Reaching a critical point of being too deeply immersed in difficulties
Lost in your mind
Repetition, emphasizing being lost in thoughts or struggles
And you've gone to deep
Reiteration of being deeply entrenched in difficulties
Take me down to the hanging tree
Repetition of the plea to face consequences or death
You ain't doing nothing
-But setting me free
-Take me down to the hanging tree
-Put my name down to rest
-And let me be
-Take me down to the hanging tree
-You ain't doing nothing
-But setting me free
-Take me down to the hanging tree
-Put my name down to rest
-And let me be
-Let me be
Desire to be left alone or find peace
Set me free
Repeated plea to be liberated or released
Set me free
