Thus from My Lips, by Yours, My Sin Is Purged
Redemption's Echo: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Well, I've got a will but I want yours
Expressing a desire for the listener's will over their own.
I've got a growing heap of crosses and burdens
Acknowledging a growing burden of challenges and responsibilities.
I've simply lost heart to shoulder
Feeling disheartened and unable to bear the weight.
Simply no strength to lift
Admitting a lack of strength to overcome difficulties.
I've always been a man in need
Acknowledging a perpetual state of neediness.
'cause I keep stepping in and out of the shadow
Referencing a pattern of moving between light and darkness or clarity and confusion.
Caught by the drift and pitch of whatever it is
Feeling caught and influenced by external forces that repeatedly draw them back.
That keeps me coming back
Expressing a desire to break free from the repetitive cycle.
I want out
Explicitly stating the desire to escape the current situation.
'Cause I'm getting sick
Feeling unwell or disturbed by the constant deviation from a desired path.
Sick from all this swerving
Experiencing discomfort from the continuous swerving or deviation.
Driver, sick from turning on you
Acknowledging the impact of their actions on others, possibly a plea for forgiveness.
Someone show me a hole in this cycle
Seeking guidance or an escape from the repetitive cycle of mistakes.
Show me the way away and I'm coming back
Expressing a willingness to change and return to a better path.
The way I came
Committing to a return to the starting point or a previous state.
No! I've seen this place before
Rejecting the current situation as familiar and undesirable.
Surely this is no place for the light of this world
Believing that the current state is not suitable for someone with a positive influence.
Oh how sweet the sound
Referencing the redemptive and soothing power of a pleasant sound.
I know it saved but is it changing a wretch like me
Questioning whether salvation can truly transform someone with flaws.
Oh my God how sweet is the sound
Expressing awe at the redemptive power, but also acknowledging personal shortcomings.
I once was blind but now I just look away
Reflecting on a past state of ignorance and a current reluctance to confront certain truths.
My bride, I don't want to know what I'd be without
Expressing a dependency on forgiveness from a significant other.
Forgiveness brushing these adulterous lips
Describing the redemptive nature of forgiveness on the lips that have committed wrongdoing.
