Comeback Road
Rediscovering Freedom: The Comeback Road Tale
Lyrics
There's a secret mule that I'm riding on a comeback road
Refers to a hidden, resilient force guiding the speaker on a journey of revival.
We don't need no fuel from a station and they don't need to know
Independence is emphasized; no external support is needed, and privacy is valued.
Where I've been is gone far behind had to lessen the load
Leaving the past behind, shedding burdens to embrace a new path.
Where I'm going teaches the lessons of the comeback road
The destination imparts valuable lessons in resilience and recovery.
And it could take me sometime to find myself and my way around
Expresses the time and effort required for self-discovery and navigating life.
But only cost me a dime to call you up and tell you all I've found
Contacting someone (possibly a confidant) to share newfound insights, with minimal cost.
All my bad dreams tried to tell me but when I awoke I was blind
Bad experiences tried to warn, but awakening brought clarity despite initial confusion.
Slipping down I hear the falling water running out of time
Metaphor of slipping down signifies the passage of time, possibly with regrets.
I was weak I fell asleep at the wheel
Admits vulnerability and a lapse in control but turns it into a positive revelation.
Woke up with this come back song to tell you that the dream is real
Awakening with a renewed spirit and a commitment to share a positive message.
But don't be too careful when your love is by your side
Caution against excessive caution in love; risking stagnation can harm relationships.
I held my horses for so long they almost died
Delaying action nearly led to the loss of something valuable (possibly love).
I set them loose to run and now we are free
Liberation and freedom result from releasing restraint; comeback is facilitated.
They paved the comeback road for me
Suggests that the path to recovery has been prepared by overcoming challenges.
And it could take me sometime to find myself and my way around
Reiteration of the time and effort needed for self-discovery and understanding.
But only cost me a dime to call you up and tell you all I've found
Reassuring a confidant that sharing discoveries is still inexpensive and accessible.
And now I'm coming for you before the nightmares can come true
Expresses urgency in connecting with a loved one before potential negative outcomes.
Before the book is closed and my fingers and toes are stuck in glue
Uses vivid imagery to depict the desire to avoid being stuck or trapped in regret.
Cause I was too careful with my love by my side
Reiterates the theme of not being overly cautious in the presence of love.
I held my horses for so long they almost died
Recalls the risk of losing something valuable due to prolonged hesitation.
I set them loose to run and now we are free
Reiteration of the positive outcomes of releasing restraint and embracing freedom.
They paved the comeback road for me
Confirms that the path to recovery has been paved, affirming the comeback journey.
