Set the Bridge on Fire
Ignite Transformation: Break Free, Cross Over, and Embrace Freedom
Lyrics
Break out of the dark land you live in
Encouragement to escape from a challenging situation or mindset.
Set the bridge on fire
Symbolic call to take action and destroy the path behind, preventing a return.
Cross over the deep, troubled water
Metaphor for facing difficulties and overcoming obstacles.
Set the bridge on fire
Reiteration of the idea to eliminate the possibility of going back.
Take a long hard look all around you
Reflection on the surroundings, questioning the current state of existence.
Is this the Promised Land?
Questioning if the current situation is the promised positive outcome.
At first it always seems so alluring
Initial attractiveness of a new path, which may not be as it seems.
But see the trouble you're in
Awareness of the troubles and challenges in the chosen path.
Storm clouds are building
Imagery of approaching difficulties and challenges.
There's a shadow across your heart
Feeling the presence of negativity or darkness in one's emotions.
Hard thunder rolling
Intense and difficult times ahead, depicted through thunder.
Why would you ever choose to go this way again?
Questioning the choice to repeat a challenging journey.
Break out of the dark land you live in
Reiteration of the need to break free from a negative environment.
Set the bridge on fire
Symbolic call to destroy the bridge, reinforcing the irreversible decision.
Cross over the deep, troubled water
Symbolic crossing of troubled waters, overcoming difficulties.
Set the bridge on fire
Reiteration of the idea to eliminate the possibility of going back.
You've made this journey over and over
Recognition of repetitive cycles and the need for change.
It's got to come to an end
Acknowledgment that a repetitive journey must have a conclusion.
For now you stand at the bridge of decision
Standing at a critical decision point between two different paths.
Between two different lands
Highlighting the importance of the decision at the metaphorical bridge.
Let the Spirit guide you
Encouragement to rely on spiritual guidance for strength.
He'll give you strength to step across
Assurance that guidance will empower crossing to the other side.
Then burn the bridge behind you
Suggestion to burn the bridge, ensuring a commitment to the new path.
So you'll never ever go that way again
Emphasizing the permanence of the decision to avoid returning.
Break out of the dark land you live in
Repetition of the call to break free from darkness.
Set the bridge on fire
Reiteration of the symbolic act of destroying the bridge.
Cross over the deep, troubled water
Emphasizing the need to cross troubled waters to achieve progress.
Set the bridge on fire
Reiteration of the idea to eliminate the possibility of going back.
Stand up for the truth you believe in
Advocacy for standing up for one's beliefs and values.
It is a higher power
Recognition of a higher power supporting the pursuit of truth.
Strike back with the bright torch of freedom
Encouragement to confront challenges with the power of freedom.
Set the bridge on fire
Reiteration of the symbolic act of destroying the bridge.
Break out of the dark land you live in
Repetition of the call to break free from darkness.
Set the bridge on fire
Reiteration of the symbolic act of destroying the bridge.
Cross over the deep, troubled water
Emphasizing the need to cross troubled waters to achieve progress.
Set the bridge on fire
