Release Yourself
Patti LaBelle Lyrics

Re, re, re, re, re, re, re, re
The repetition of 're' symbolizes the repetitive nature of daily life that causes stress and anxiety.

Release yourself
Patti encourages the listeners to let go of their worries and anxieties and free their minds.

Release, release
The repetition of 'release' emphasizes the importance of letting go for better mental health and well-being.

Every day's a new day, everyday was carved
Every day presents new opportunities and challenges even if it seems repetitive and dull.

Move in to the rhythm that's repeating in your heart
Tap into your inner self and follow your true purpose and passion in life.

Every day's a challenge, every day we'll try
Life is full of struggles and obstacles that one needs to face with determination and perseverance.

Lines got to find in toe to toe when I had you on
Through this line, Patti reminds us that relationships can be difficult and require great sacrifice and hard work to maintain.

Living for tomorrow, got your dreams all laid away
Many of us work hard and plan ahead for a better future, but Patti warns that we need to be careful not to miss out on the present.

Ah, there's so much pressure, you deserve a break today
The pressures of life can be overwhelming, and one needs to take a break and recharge to be more productive and successful.

(Release) Everything's a problem and you can't take much more
When things seem to be falling apart and constant problems arise, it is time to take a step back and release any pent-up emotions.

Turn up the music, get your body on the floor
Music and dancing can be great ways to release stress and tension and connect with your inner self and others.

Get up, get down, get up, get out
Patti wants us to move, be active, and not stay idle or stuck in negativity.

Do this, do that, solve your problem
It is important to take action and solve one's problems proactively rather than wait for them to disappear on their own.

Or no, you better jump that
Patti implies that one must overcome obstacles no matter how insurmountable they may seem.

I do, I don't, maybe I will but maybe I won't
Life is full of uncertainties, and one needs to make the best of what they have and seize the moment.

You're overworked, you're underpaid
Many people experience work burnout and feel undervalued and underpaid for their contributions.

You gotta make it to the top, you gotta make the grade
One should strive for excellence and do their best to achieve their goals regardless of the difficulties they may face.

Overtime, you're earning, earning
Patti highlights that hard work and persistence can lead to greater success and financial reward over time.

But you lose your mind, you crash and burn
However, overworking oneself can lead to physical, emotional and mental breakdowns and is not worth the cost.

Why don't you just try to relax?
Patti urges listeners to take a moment to relax, unwind and disconnect from everyday stressors and pressures for better well-being.

Got to find a new way, got to make us count
Patti challenges the listeners to explore new avenues and opportunities for growth and to make their mark in the world.

You've got the power, drink it off the shelf
One has great potential and resources within themselves that they can use to succeed and thrive.

If you don't enjoy your life, you can blame nobody else so
Ultimately, one is accountable for their own happiness and fulfillment in life, and they must take ownership of their path to achieve it.

Why don't you let, let yourself go?
Patti wants listeners to unburden their minds and bodies and let go of any negative emotions and thoughts.

Let it re, re, re, release, release
Through repetition, Patti emphasizes the importance of letting go and releasing one's inhibitions.

(Release yourself, relax and let it go)
The repeated phrase means that one must let go of their worries and loosen up for better mental and physical health.
