The Turnaround
TheJoyFormidable Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, I'm gonna stay here and make this come around
Come back now (come back now)
We're waiting (we're waiting)
For children’s quicker and then it's gone
I shaked it, and I'll save you
Across the kitchen table in to a pass
Take, take my word’s gift on this
You come around
When the other state we're gonna slay
Into the turnaround
There's love here, there's dreams fears
There's other one without inside
It started, the cascade
You're tired and it's time
'Cause you're in love with loneliness, reaches you
And your behave when empty nights stay to day
You stay until, just stay until,
You thought it through
The best part is over and nothing I'm feeling is new.
If forever I'm that thing,
Forever always dance
You're gonna stay here with me,
Stay until the last
Run and try until the last shaking sign
Until the future runs a crowd
Before I got holding down,
Oh, don't miss the turnaround
Turnaround
Don't miss the turnaround
Don't miss the turnaround
Don't miss it
Tell me the way you’ve been
Tell me the way you’ve been so long
I wanna go along and pretend that it’s dawn
That’s the stop, not the close
I’m your friend, not your post
We’re under false law
Nothing you’ve seen that flies
Another empty picture for this college of mine
One to pull it back and pretend that it’s dark
That we made it year around
I’m your friend, not your God
And we’re under false law
I’ll take the gambling ring
They said it expired and
Just too busy no more
The way let’s go to
Don’t worry, let’s go again
The song "The Turnaround" by TheJoyFormidable is a passionate and emotive track that speaks to the importance of perseverance and staying strong in the face of adversity.

The chorus then returns, urging the listener not to miss the "turnaround" or the moment when things start to improve. The final verse touches on themes of friendship and solidarity, and suggests that by working together, we can overcome even the most difficult obstacles.

I am going to wait patiently until things change for the better
Hey, I'm gonna stay here and make this come around
I am committed to making a positive change and will stay until I do
Come back now (come back now)
Please return to me as soon as possible
We're waiting (we're waiting)
We are eagerly anticipating your return or change in behavior
For children’s quicker and then it's gone
Youth passes quickly and we should cherish it while we can
I shaked it, and I'll save you
I will do what I can to help you through tough times
Across the kitchen table in to a pass
Sitting across from each other in a moment of clarity
Take, take my word’s gift on this
Believe me when I say that I am serious about this
You come around
I trust that you will change for the better
When the other state we're gonna slay
We will be unstoppable when we work together
Into the turnaround
We will make positive changes and move forward
There's love here, there's dreams fears
There is a complex mix of emotions and desires present
There's other one without inside
There is a part of us that we keep hidden from others
It started, the cascade
The process has been set in motion and cannot be stopped
You're tired and it's time
You are exhausted and need a change
'Cause you're in love with loneliness, reaches you
You have become accustomed to being alone and it is affecting you
And your behave when empty nights stay to day
Your actions change when you spend too many nights alone
You stay until, just stay until,
You hold out hope that things will get better
You thought it through
You are giving deep consideration to your actions
The best part is over and nothing I'm feeling is new.
The good times have passed and I am no longer experiencing anything novel
If forever I'm that thing,
If I am to be known by one thing for eternity,
Forever always dance
It will be for my love of dancing and movement
You're gonna stay here with me,
I am confident that you will remain by my side
Stay until the last
Stay until the end, never giving up hope
Run and try until the last shaking sign
Keep pushing through until the very end, even when it's difficult
Until the future runs a crowd
Stay committed, even when everyone else has given up hope
Before I got holding down,
Before I became complacent in my situation
Oh, don't miss the turnaround
Don't let the opportunity to make a positive change pass by
Tell me the way you’ve been
Let me know how you have been doing
Tell me the way you’ve been so long
Give me a detailed account of how things have been over an extended period
I wanna go along and pretend that it’s dawn
I want to imagine it is the start of a new day, full of opportunities
That’s the stop, not the close
This is the moment to pause and reflect, not to give up hope
I’m your friend, not your post
I am here to support you as a true friend, not just as a social media presence
We’re under false law
We are living in a society that is not based on truth or honesty
Nothing you’ve seen that flies
There is nothing that you have experienced that has been truly remarkable or extraordinary
Another empty picture for this college of mine
Another disappointing moment to add to the string of unpleasant experiences
One to pull it back and pretend that it’s dark
We try to mask our failures or difficulties by pretending things are worse than they are
That we made it year around
We have survived and pushed through for an entire year
I’m your friend, not your God
I am here to support you as an equal, not to dictate your life
And we’re under false law
We are living in a society that is not based on truth or honesty
I’ll take the gambling ring
I will take a chance despite the risks involved
They said it expired and Just too busy no more
Others have given up on this opportunity due to its expiration and lack of time
The way let’s go to
Let's move forward together, even if it seems risky
Don’t worry, let’s go again
Let's not be discouraged by past failures, and continue to push forward

Special songs have that heavenly harmony that opens the soul to honesty, pain and tears. This is one. Thanks TJF and album producers/directors. Himornto see them in LA California 2019 at their last gig of the year.

Still giving me goosebumps.

I feel the trilogy of “the” songs really change the feel of the end of this album. I feel these three songs together could be deeply analyzed as their own portion of the album.

Hi Toni. I'm not entirely certain who performs on the record, but in live sets, it's Rhydian who handles the keys.:)
