This Beautiful Republic Album: Even Heroes Need a Parachute Track: Casting Off
Casting Off Lyrics
Can you forget all the lies you're told Will you let go of all the things you hold They can cost you more than you could know
Pre-Chorus But what will you do when everything's gone?
Chorus I saw you under the stars And I caught you wanting them all Desire can change who you are You're so much better off When nothing weighs you down
Breaking down, you're starting to see The world's worth nothing when you were meant for me So cast off those stars they only fall for me
Pre-Chorus 2 I am still here when everything's gone.
Bridge I'm here let me take your heart out, stay here I can make it better
(TBR/Allen Salmon)
Song Description: "This song is from God's perspective. It's about letting go of the things that hold us down, things we return to time after time despite their complete emptiness. It speaks of looking back at those vices longingly, reminding the listener that such allure is deceitful, ultimately costing us everything in the end. God wants to take our burdens, heal us, and help us move on without them." - This Beautiful Republic
