Melissa Etheridge - Prelude To Into The Dark Lyrics

And there comes a point when you're-
You're like, "Okay, I've had the trauma
I know, I've had it, we've all had it
Okay, okay
And then you go like, "Okay, time to-
Time to move on to the hope, y'know
Time to move on to the future"
Because that is everything you got right now
Right now and the future

So I'm gonna do a song that um-
This one song by like 1999 record called Breakdown
And this song, uh
This song, this song was about the time I was like
"Y'know what? I got to let all that stuff go
I got to start looking to the future"

So I wrote a song
These were actually all the nightmares I use to have
About my childhood, y'know you get those reoccurring things
Over and over and over and over and yes, all those
So I put them into a song
And the meaning of this song is y'know what?
Sometimes you gotta pull all those stuff out
You got to go okay, I've been so afraid of this
All this that I've been so afraid of
I can move through it now, I'm just gonna walk through that fear
I'm gonna get though that, I'm gonna get to the other side

Sometimes, you gotta go into your soul, into you heart
And into the dark
