Rain Dance
Breaking Chains: A Journey Through Life's Storm with Truth Be Damned
Lyrics
Rolling down life's highway
Embarking on life's journey
Chasing down a dream
Pursuing a personal aspiration
Screaming through the galaxy
Expressing intense emotions through the vastness of space
I filled the tank with what's left of me
Utilizing the remaining energy or resources
Bent, broke, and twisted
Physically and emotionally damaged, unable to perceive clearly
Too high to see
In a state of altered consciousness
Spent a fortune searching high and low
Investing significant effort and resources in a futile search
And yet the truth's right in front of me
Realizing that the truth is evident but overlooked
I feed it, you bleed it
Providing sustenance, while others experience hardship
You want it, I make it
Creating what is desired by others
I need it, you take it
Dependent on something essential taken by others
I fix it for you to break it
Repairing something only to have it intentionally broken
I feed it, you bleed it
Continuing the cycle of providing and suffering
You want it, I make it
Producing what is sought by others
I need it, you take it
Requiring something essential taken by others
I fix it for you to break it
Repeatedly fixing and breaking in a cycle
Oh yeah
An expression of affirmation
And I feel it comin'
Sensing an impending change or challenge
Like a storm at sea
Comparing the feeling to a storm in the sea
And I finally found a way
Discovering a way to break free from constraints
To break the chains and be set free
Experiencing liberation from limitations
Cold rain it washes
Rain symbolically cleansing the past
What I used to be
Reflecting on the transformation from the past
Brings back the sorrow
Eliciting the return of sorrowful memories
Knowing today's yesterday's tomorrow
Awareness of the present's impact on the future
I feel the chill, feel that chill inside
Feeling an internal coldness or discomfort
You know that glaring truth time will not hide
Acknowledging a truth that time cannot conceal
The warm glow, yeah you know it calls me back
Atempting to return to a comforting past
Back in time in my mind
Nostalgia for a time when self-acceptance was easier
When it was okay for me to be me
Recalling a period when being authentic was acceptable
Living life like a vagabond's dream
Living a carefree life like a wanderer's dream
Free to roam and fall or fail and
Embracing freedom, including the possibility of failure
Someday fly
Aspiring to eventually soar despite setbacks
Caution to the wind
Taking risks without concern
Caution to the wind yeah
Embracing risk and uncertainty
