Solid Ground
Josh Kelley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thinking back to better days
With the wrongs and right have faded gray
If I told you once you told me twice
How the love of both can turn the wise

It's so easy to turn my head around
But now I've beat the odds
Got my feet on solid ground

It's so hard just movin' on
And being without you just seems so wrong
But time only heals our wounds
For me it takes time for you so soon

It's so easy to turn my head around
But now I've beat the odds
Got my feet on solid ground

Falling further from where we used to be
All things said and done, I needed to be free
It's so easy to turn my head and run
But now I've beat the odds
Got my feet on solid ground

I'm better now without you hear
I've got a job and my mind is clear
From what I hear you want me back
But the tide has turned and I'm relaxed

It's so easy to turn my head around
But now I've beat the odds
Got my feet on solid ground

But now I've beat the odds
And I'm back on solid ground




But now I've beat the odds
And I'm back on solid ground

Overall Meaning

The song "Solid Ground" by Josh Kelley is about moving on from a past love and finding happiness and stability in oneself. The lyrics explore the emotions of someone reflecting on a previous relationship and how, despite the difficulty of moving on and the pain and heartbreak associated with it, the process can lead to growth and positive change. The song touches on the idea that it is easy to turn back and cling to a past love or what is familiar, but true strength comes from moving forward and finding solid ground within oneself.


The lyrics in the chorus emphasize the idea that beating the odds and finding solid ground is a process that takes time and patience. There is no magic formula or quick fix to heal a broken heart, but it is possible to come out stronger and more content on the other side. The verses offer specific instances of struggle and growth, such as the singer needing time to heal while the other person wants to reconcile, and ultimately coming to the realization that they are better off without the other person.


Overall, "Solid Ground" is a hopeful song about the power of self-growth and finding stability and happiness within oneself.
