Tabitha's Journey: Breaking Free from Sorrow
Lyrics
Tabitha busted out, swimming in her shell
Tabitha has broken free from her confinement and is exploring her surroundings.
Decided that it was time to go
She has made the decision to leave.
Down for the count, the referee's ringing the bell
Tabitha is facing a challenge or setback, possibly in a metaphorical sense, with a referee signaling difficulties.
Still Tabitha moves too slow
Despite the obstacles, Tabitha is not moving at a fast pace.
Looks to the left, then looks to the right
She is surveying her surroundings, looking left and right.
Double checked in every direction
Tabitha is being thorough and cautious in all directions.
But nothing was in sight
However, she doesn't find anything of note.
Tabitha made the move
Tabitha makes a move, possibly indicating a decision or action.
No she was playing games
Contrary to appearances, she is not playing games or being deceptive.
So close but still so far away
Despite being close to something, Tabitha is still far away, emphasizing a distance or obstacle.
Tabitha takes her time 'cause she ain't got time to borrow
Tabitha is careful and deliberate because she cannot afford to waste time.
Tabitha waits, waits on the frontier of tomorrow
She is waiting on the brink of the future.
Tabitha breaks, breaks away from all of her sorrow
Tabitha is breaking free from her sorrows.
And away we go
Repetition of "And away we go" suggests a journey or progression.
And away we go
-And away we go
-The gun shoots and away they go and so this race begins
A race begins, possibly symbolizing a competitive or challenging situation.
Living on the edge is a dangerous game
Living on the edge is risky and precarious.
They're in cahoots about shaking down
There is collaboration or conspiracy to extract something from the enemy.
The enemy for all that he has
A reflection on the speaker's approach, stating they wouldn't have led with that strategy.
I never would have led with that but that's me
Repetition of looking left and right, emphasizing thorough examination.
Looks to the left
No significant findings despite careful observation.
Then looks to the right
-Double checked in every direction but nothing was in sight
-Tabitha made the move
Tabitha makes a move, possibly with a change in direction or action.
Now she's sitting behind enemy lines
She is now behind enemy lines, suggesting a risky or challenging situation.
Time to crank the gear into high
Time to accelerate and face challenges with determination.
Tabitha takes her time 'cause she ain't got time to borrow
Reiteration of Tabitha's deliberate approach and breaking free from sorrow.
Tabitha waits, waits on the frontier of tomorrow
-Tabitha breaks, breaks away from all of her sorrow
-And away we go
Repetition of "And away we go," emphasizing the continuation of the journey.
And away we go
-And away we go
-Tabitha hit the ground, smushed and cracked the shell
Tabitha hits the ground, possibly facing a failure or setback.
Unfortunately it was the end of the road
Unfortunately, it marks the end of the road for Tabitha.
She was brave and bold, maybe a little too well
Tabitha was brave and bold but may have been too confident or daring.
Maybe it was the man behind who enclosed
There might be someone behind her actions, possibly influencing her choices.
Tabitha takes her time 'cause she ain't got time to borrow

Tabitha waits, waits on the frontier of tomorrow

And away we go
-And away we go
