Release
Ursula Rucker Feat. M.A.D. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't remember when it all started
But it's all I know now
I used to think I didn't need to talk about it
But the truth was I didn't know how
So I held onto anything I felt I had control over
But over time it took control over me
I thought that nobody would ever need to know about it
But I wasn't doing as well as I seemed

And everybody thinks they're doing fine until they've gotta pay the price for their vices
Advice never followed
And the time in between always feels like it's borrowed
Falling apart at the seams 'til you swallow your pride
Realising you would have had an easier time, had you confided
Cause the weight gets heavier the longer that you carry it
I couldn't carry on
I had to find a way to manage it
Yeah
I said the weight gets heavier the longer that you carry it
I couldn't carry on
I had to find a way to manage it
This is everything I wish I could have said
My escape to get away from all the thoughts inside my head
A release from the feelings that are building up inside of me
My way of dealing with the other side of me
I used wanna hide it from the ones that I was close to
In denial of the issues i was going through
Never asked the question cause i didn't want the answer
Funny how acceptance was the only thing that gave me a chance to move past it
No more living in the past tense
Now I'm on top and it's all starting to make sense
Ever since I found a way to channel how I feel
And realised that I no longer had to deal with it all on my own
Cause I've grown since then
Shown myself that nowadays I don't have to pretend
I'm in control, cause I know it now
My confidence, I show it now

Even when it takes a hold of me
I've finally found my release

Line by Line Meaning

You couldn't tell me that you love me that's a shame
You failed to express your love for me, which is unfortunate

Told me that it's all my fault I took the blame
You blamed me for everything, but I accepted the responsibility

But, instead of owning up to what you've done
However, you refused to acknowledge your mistake

You point your finger, tuck your tail and then you run
You shifted the blame and ran away from the situation

Make no mistake, I understand where we went wrong
I am aware of the mistakes that we made

I had you here, but mentally you were gone
You were physically present, but emotionally absent

We could've fixed it if we tried I do believe
I think we could have resolved it if we both made an effort

But, when I chose to walk out, you just let me leave
However, when I decided to leave, you did not stop me

There's no need to compete, if I'm not your cup of tea
There is no reason to compete for someone who doesn't like me

I guarantee there's someone else who's waiting patiently
I am sure there is someone who is interested in me and waiting for me

And since I'm no longer, fulfilling your hunger, I'll take the hint
Since I am not satisfying your desires anymore, I will accept that and move on

And hit the streets, I've never been stronger
I will leave and face the world with a newfound strength

But I know, that your heart wasn't it
I realize that you weren't emotionally invested in this relationship

But I know, our interactions were toxic
I acknowledge that our interactions were harmful and damaging

But I know, that I had to let the anger go, move on and close that door
I understand that I need to let go of my anger, move forward, and close this chapter

Stop, Leave, Exit my memory
I want you to stop haunting my thoughts and memories

(I) Want (You) To (Re) Release My Heartbeat
I wish for you to let go of my heart and the emotions attached to it

I could tell you that I love you, it's a shame
I would confess my love for you, but it's too bad it didn't work out

That I'm stuck without a clue, but who's to blame
Now I am lost and confused about what to do, but it's unclear whose fault it is

This broken heart of mine, will never be the same
My heart is shattered and will never be whole again

Just the very thought of you, could drive a boy insane
Merely thinking about you can make someone crazy
