  2. Favorite Lines: • Regrets collect like old friends • And I've been a fool and I've been blindI can never leave the past behindI can see no way, I can see no wayI'm always dragging that horse around • Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground • And it's hard to dance with a devil on your backSo shake him off, oh whoa

  3. Important Discoveries from TPCAST: • Title: “Shake it Out” – like shedding the bad • Paraphrase: “I'm always dragging that horse around” (I’m always pulling my heavy regrets with me) • Construction: symbolism & imagery “horse” symbolizes regrets (heavy) imagery of burying horse symbolizes putting regrets to rest • Theme: we have to learn to put the past behind (“shake the devil off our backs”) and move forward (“dance”)
