A Plea to Saint Peter
A Plea for Redemption: Battling Inner Demons and Lost Love
Lyrics
I'd swear it doctor my dreams are taking over
I'm experiencing overwhelming feelings in my dreams.
I can't tell ya for certain I ain't outside my mind
I can't be certain if I'm sane or if I've lost my sanity.
I see the faces that I've carried
I visualize the faces of those I've carried, likely fallen comrades.
to be shipped back home and buried
These faces are meant to be sent back home for burial.
Empty but for the fear froze in their eyes
Their eyes reflect only fear, frozen and empty in death.
And Momma why won't someone come to save me
An appeal to the speaker's mother, questioning why no one is coming to rescue them.
Momma why'd they cast me off aside
Asking why the speaker has been abandoned or rejected.
This country took my daylight and left me in the dark
The country has taken away the brightness of the day, leaving the speaker in darkness.
that's when the horror inside my head all comes to life
The horror in the speaker's mind becomes vivid when in the dark.
And darlin' in my dreams you're with somebody
In dreams, the speaker sees their loved one with someone else.
someone you said had loved you once before
The person in the dream was loved by the speaker before.
And darlin' in my dreams it's my reflection
The speaker sees their own reflection in the dream but can't connect with it.
but I just can't seem to find it anymore
The inability to find the reflection suggests a loss of identity.
Oh little baby I swear I'm not the devil
The speaker reassures a loved one, claiming not to be evil, but acknowledges darkness within.
but the devil's hiding deep inside my bones
The darkness, akin to the devil, resides deep within the speaker.
I've always loved you so but now your daddy's gotta go
The speaker expresses love but acknowledges the necessity to leave.
and I just can't live in heaven all alone
The speaker cannot live in heaven alone and is compelled to leave.
Now would you kindly hear me out Saint Peter
An appeal to Saint Peter, seeking understanding and mercy.
there's no place left for all of us to go
There seems to be no place left for anyone to go.
I know you'll second guess me
The speaker anticipates doubt but prays for a blessing from Saint Peter.
but I'm praying you might bless me
The world below is described as bitterly cold, emphasizing hardship.
The world down here is just too bitter cold
