Wash Away
Iya Terra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like somehow were supposed to know
Cause when were living it it don't seem so
It's different isn't it, eh ah (echo)
Life's too short to be alone
One minute you have it the next its gone
Got to be ready for whatever come
Such a trip what a gift it is yeah
As I step into the sun again
Come on and step into the sun
Wash away the rest of your life It starts today so come along
Give thanks for the memory
Everything its telling me
Life it has just begun
Wash away the rest of your life it starts
Today so come along
Even when you don't see better days are coming
You just got to hold on
So you remember back in the day
Growing up just trying to find our way
Seems memories are so far away from where we are now
But we got to hold on strong as we
Trodding along, friends they have come and gone
And all the love from the past won't last forever
The memory is more than enough
As I step into the sun again
So can we step into the sun?
Wash away the rest of your life it starts today so come along
Give thanks for the memory
Everything its telling me
Life it has just begun
Wash away the rest of your life it starts today so come along
Even when you don't see better days are coming
You just got to hold on
The song Wash Away by Iya Terra is a heartfelt reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of holding onto memories, while also being present in the moment. The opening lines, "They say the good old days come and go, like somehow we're supposed to know, cause when we're living it, it don't seem so," suggests that we often don't realize how good things are until they're gone, and that we should make the most of what we have while we have it. This sentiment is echoed later in the song with the line "Life's too short to be alone, one minute you have it the next it's gone," which reminds us to cherish our loved ones and the time we have together.
The chorus of the song, "Wash away the rest of your life it starts today so come along, give thanks for the memory, everything it's telling me, life it has just begun," is a call to action to live in the present and not take anything for granted. The idea of washing away the past means letting go of regrets and focusing on what's ahead, while also acknowledging the value of the experiences that have brought us to where we are now. The final lines, "Even when you don't see better days are coming, you just gotta hold on," offer a message of hope and resilience, reminding listeners that even in tough times, there is something worth holding onto.
Overall, Wash Away is a touching reminder to appreciate the people and moments in our lives, both past and present, and to approach each new day with gratitude and determination.

They say the good old days come and go
People say that the past was better than the present
Like somehow were supposed to know
As if we were expected to anticipate the change
Cause when were living it it don't seem so
Because when we're in the moment, it doesn't feel like it's going to end
It's different isn't it, eh ah (echo)
It feels different once we look back on it
Life's too short to be alone
Life is too brief to spend it alone
One minute you have it the next its gone
Life is fleeting, and it can disappear in a moment
Got to be ready for whatever come
We must be prepared for whatever comes our way
Such a trip what a gift it is yeah
Life is a crazy journey, but it's a gift that we should appreciate
As I step into the sun again
Starting fresh and optimistic
Come on and step into the sun
Join me in this positive outlook
Wash away the rest of your life It starts today so come along
Let go of the past and start anew today
Give thanks for the memory
Be grateful for the experiences that made us who we are
Everything its telling me
The memories of our past can guide our present and future
Life it has just begun
Life is constantly evolving and full of new opportunities
Even when you don't see better days are coming
There will always be a brighter future to look forward to
You just got to hold on
We just need to persevere through the tough times
So you remember back in the day
Reminiscing about the past
Growing up just trying to find our way
Navigating through life's uncertainties as we matured
Seems memories are so far away from where we are now
It feels like our past experiences are distant from our present situation
But we got to hold on strong as we
We need to stay strong and resilient through life's changes
Trodding along, friends they have come and gone
We've journeyed with many friends who have left our lives
And all the love from the past won't last forever
Our past relationships won't always be as significant as they once were
The memory is more than enough
But even if the relationship is over, the memories will always remain valuable
