Cannonball
Breaking Free: A Cannonball Journey Against Small-Town Chains
Lyrics
We're opposites
We have contrasting qualities
That don't attract
Our differences do not create attraction
I got to go
I need to leave
And that's a fact
Leaving is a definite decision
It's not just a saying
This is not merely a saying or cliché
It's this town
This town is the cause
That holds me back
The town is holding the speaker back
A ghost town
The town is like a ghost town, possibly devoid of life or excitement
Honestly the chemistry
Being truthful, the connection or attraction
Between you and me
The chemistry between the speaker and someone else
Is not so good
The chemistry is not positive or strong
I'll leave this town
The speaker plans to leave the town
And when I come back
Upon returning, it will be with great force and impact
It's on a cannonball
The return is symbolized by a cannonball, suggesting intensity
1995
Refers to the year 1995
Cannot stand this small-town life
The speaker dislikes the mundane small-town life
We need to surrender
A call to surrender to the unknown and embrace change
To the unknown things
Welcoming unfamiliar experiences
We're opposites
Reiteration of the opposing nature of the speaker and someone else
that don't attract
Despite differences, there is no attraction
I got to go
The need to depart
And that's a fact
Leaving is a confirmed reality
Honestly the chemistry
Truthfully assessing the connection or attraction
Between you and me
The chemistry between the speaker and someone else
Is not so good
The chemistry is not positive or strong
I'll leave this town
The intention to leave the town
And when I come back
Upon return, it will be with great force and impact
It's on a cannonball
Symbolic return with intensity, likened to a cannonball
It's on a cannonball
Reiteration of the intense return with a cannonball
On a cannonball
(Empty line, no specific content)
On a cannonball
Reiteration of the powerful return symbolized by a cannonball
