No Going Back
City Lights and Broken Dreams: Will Foulke's No Going Back
Lyrics
Down on your luck
Experiencing a streak of bad fortune or misfortune.
Work 9 to 5
Engaging in a typical 9-to-5 job, implying a routine or mundane work life.
You've had enough
Feeling discontent or fed up with the current situation.
Go to the city
Deciding to move to the city for a change or new opportunities.
Where it's all there
City life offers a multitude of possibilities and experiences.
All the new
Referring to the constant influx of new things or trends.
They show their face
People in the city revealing themselves or making appearances.
You tell yourself
Trying to convince oneself that the city is the right place for a fresh start.
This is the place
Believing that the city is the ideal location for a new beginning.
But it's not clear
Uncertainty and confusion about the path ahead.
There's no going back
Realization that once a decision is made, there is no turning back.
Lost in your past
Feeling stuck or entangled in one's past.
All your friends
Reflecting on the loss of friendships over time.
Gone in the end
Acknowledging that friends have eventually departed.
Gone with the wind
Comparing the departure of friends to being carried away by the wind.
Telling I'm telling myself I'm

Telling I'm telling myself I'm
Continuation of inner dialogue, emphasizing self-talk.
Take a chance

And Roll the dice
Suggesting a willingness to embrace uncertainty by rolling the dice.
Mixed emotions
Experiencing a mix of conflicting emotions.
Turn my heart to ice
Turning emotions cold or numb, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Make it all alright
Expressing the desire to make everything okay or resolve issues.
Hold you tonight
Longing to hold someone close for comfort or solace.
