My Way Soon
Greta Van Fleet - The Battle at Garden’s Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are so many people
Some are much younger people
And some are so old
I've seen many places
There are so many places
And where are the people going
Will they choose the road?
I've packed my bags and I've got my freedom
I've sacked the rules so I don't have to heed them
I'll bet on a chance if I've just got one
I'll throw out the plans and live with no burden
I have but a lifetime
Seems so long but it flies by
And in the moments passing
I'll bear no load
I have yet to wander
Many miles far yonder
And with so much left to ponder
I choose the road
I've packed my bags and I've got my freedom
I've sacked the rules so I don't have to heed them
I'll bet on a chance if I've just got one
I'll throw out the plans and live with no burden
I've packed my bags and I have my freedom
I've sacked the rules so I don't have to heed them
I'll bet on a chance if I've just got one
I'll throw out the plans, live with no burden
Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The opening lyrics set the scene by describing the multitude of people and places that exist in the world. The singer is overwhelmed by the abundance of choices available to them, from the many different paths people can take to the numerous destinations one can visit. However, despite the endless options, the singer chooses to throw out the rules and embark on their own journey without burdens.
The second verse speaks to the fleeting nature of life and the tenderness of time. The singer contemplates the seemingly endless amount of time they have in their lifetime, yet they realize that time passes by quickly.
