'I still beat the drum', it means I'm still making music.
'Once before me now behind, if it's high or low', it's my career in music.
All the ambitions I had were once before me, they are now behind.
The song is about how I don't want to stop writing, I still have more to say.

David Paton

Before I let it go



I know the hours I’ve wasted, I still beat the drum
Of all the things I’ve tasted, I count the days to come
Although the lines are complex, I follow the score
And in the silence, I’m calling out for more

Once before me now behind, if it’s high or low
There’s more that I can say or do, before I let it go
A million things I’d like to say, before I let it go

A simple new creation, but complicated fun
The feeling of elation, is second to none
Although the lines are complex, I’ve heard them before
And in the silence, I called out for more

Once before me now behind, if it’s high or low
There’s more that I can say or do, before I let it go
A million things I’d like to say, before I let it go
