Shaped by the Dust
Shaping Redemption: Anthony Peebles' Soulful Journey
Lyrics
Is there any hope for me
Expresses a sense of uncertainty or doubt about personal prospects or potential.
Overstayed my welcome
Feeling like having stayed longer than desired or welcomed.
But I could never leave
Despite the desire to leave, unable to depart from a situation or circumstance.
I've overpaid my ransom
Feeling like having given more than necessary or deserved for liberation.
I've overpaid my fee
Having paid a price or penalty excessively.
All of my thoughts escaping me
Suggests an inability to retain or grasp one's thoughts.
Like a jailbreak out of prison
Comparing the release of thoughts to a sudden escape from confinement.
Like a man that's breakin' free
Relating to the feeling of breaking free from a restrictive situation.
A man that's nothing more than what everybody sees
Being perceived solely based on outward appearances, without depth.
And I'm bound to be
Destined or confined to become shaped by life's experiences.
Shaped by the dust on the souls of my feet
Becoming molded or influenced by the residue collected from life's journey.
And I'll look beyond
Seeking to move forward beyond hardships or difficulties.
The valley of the shadow and I'll carry on
Continuing despite facing challenging or threatening situations.
I've done all I know to do
Having exhausted all known efforts or remedies.
But I'm still brokenhearted
Still feeling emotionally wounded or deeply hurt.
Yeah I'm still reprobate
Perceiving oneself as morally corrupt or beyond redemption.
But the man up on the stage tells me it's not too late
Receiving encouragement or advice from someone in a position of authority or expertise.
Oh and the man up on the stage tells me it's not too late
Reiteration of the advice or assurance from the authoritative figure.
And I'm bound to be
Reiterating the sense of being shaped by life's experiences.
Shaped by the dust on the souls of my feet
Emphasizing the ongoing influence of life's journey on personal development.
And I'll look beyond
Looking forward or aiming beyond difficulties and challenges.
The valley of the shadow and I'll carry on
Continuing to persevere despite facing threatening or challenging situations.
There must be something in this wine
Suggesting a search for intoxication or escapism to find inspiration or vitality.
Cause I come alive every time I drink
Feeling a surge of energy or liveliness when consuming wine.
And I'm still looking for a sign telling me to feel and not to think
Seeking a clear indication or signal to guide emotions rather than relying on thoughts.
Oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
Oh oh
-And I'm bound to be
Reiterating the notion of being shaped by life's journey.
Shaped by the dust on the souls of my feet
Continuing to emphasize the influence of life's experiences on personal growth.
I'll look beyond
Seeking to move forward beyond threatening or challenging circumstances.
The valley of the shadow and I'll carry on
Continuing to persevere despite facing threatening or challenging situations.
