From These Wounds
Redemption Echoes: A Journey Through Regret and Freedom
Lyrics
And now I recognize your face and my folly
Recognition of the person's face and acknowledgment of one's own mistakes.
For longer days and nights this strange redemption'
Realization of the need for redemption over an extended period of time.
With words you've bled me dry
Expressing emotional pain caused by the person's words.
Now dust falls from these wounds
Symbolic imagery of dust falling from wounds, representing the aftermath of emotional harm.
Into the airless night I'm cast
Feeling cast into a desolate, airless night, possibly symbolizing isolation or despair.
Hear me call you
An urgent call for attention or understanding.
I know I can't create a lie you won't see through
Acknowledgment of inability to deceive the person and a desire for honesty.
Through in this blessed tone I am a child in wanting
Expressing vulnerability and a sense of lacking in the speaker.
A feeling not unlike regret permeates me
A feeling similar to regret pervades the speaker.
And with the birth of fear I am set free
Birth of fear is paradoxically liberating, suggesting a transformative experience.
From these wounds I claim redemption
Claiming redemption from the wounds inflicted.
From these wounds I am redeemed
Stating the speaker is redeemed through the wounds.
In passing I recall with such vivid clarity
Recollection of past experiences with vivid clarity.
The soft whispering reminders of foolish notions
Remembering soft reminders of foolish thoughts or actions.
Too late I realized my wrongs and my carelessness
Realization of wrongs and carelessness, possibly too late.
Now from the stone I hear you call
Hearing a call from a figurative stone, indicating a sense of emotional distance.
I can not answer
Unable to respond to the call, suggesting a sense of helplessness or inability to change.
Believe me my regret runs deep yet I know peace
Expressing deep regret while finding peace and inspiration in the regret.
For in 24 years I've always been inspired
Acknowledgment of a long period of inspiration but with an underlying sense of loss.
The loss I do regret and still I know redemption
Despite regret, there is a belief in redemption and acceptance of the person's freedom.
For you are better gone now you are set free
Acknowledging that the person is better off gone and free.
