This Too Shall Pass Lyrics
And you can't keep dragging that dead weight around
Is it really all that much to lug around
Better run like hell when you hit the ground
When the morning comes
Can't stop those kids from dancing
but why would you want to?
Especially when you are already getting good
'Cuz when your mind don't move then your knees don't bend
But don't go blaming the kids again
When the morning comes,
When the morning comes,
When the morning comes,
When the morning comes,
When the morning comes,
Let it go, This too shall pass
no you can't keep letting it get you down
Oh Is it really all that much to lug around,
and you can't keep letting it get you down
(oh you can't keep letting it get you down, no you can't keep letting it get you down)
Its pretty obvious that the meaning of the song is that everything in life, all emotions, events, people, will all pass with time. This too shall pass is a saying that you would refer to in a bad situation where things aren't going your way, and you would remember that it will pass and something greater will soon come.
The great thing about this song and all great songs is it has individual meaning for each listener. For me, the first time I heard it, I thought of an ex-girlfriend that I sometimes have to smile and pretend everything is okay between us. In truth I hate her and have never forgiven her for lying and being a cheat. I guess I feel guilty about not moving past that after all these years and the song just reminded me I shouldn't be dragging it around with me when I don't need to.
I think this song sounds uplifting even if you don't understand a word they say! The video is so good that it serves as a distraction from how good the song is.
Correct lyrics from booklet:
You know you can't keep letting it get you down And you can't keep dragging that dead weight around If there ain't all that much to love around Better run like hell when you hit the ground
When the morning comes
You can't stop these kids from dancing, and why would you want to Especially when when you are already getting yours? 'Cause if your mind don't move, and your knees don't bend Well don't start blaming the kids again
When the morning comes
Let it go This too shall pass
You know you can't keep letting it get you down No you can't keep letting it get you down If there ain't all that much to love around, Oh you can't keep letting it get you down.

Not a bad song at all. Fantastic music video though.
Most amazing music video ever. very creative.
Clearly this song is about Rube Goldberg machines. Each link in the chain will soon pass and the next will be triggered. Why are you fools so blind to the truth?
I read somewhere that I've already forgotten that it was written with the recession in mind.
@godanddevil sorry people are idiots. You're pretty accurate.
