Fallen Grace
Rising from Despair: Brandon Sanders' 'Fallen Grace' Chronicles the Journey Home
Lyrics
I'm treadin water, I'll be drowning again
I am barely staying afloat, but I will soon find myself overwhelmed.
I scream to god, its time to make amends
I cry out to God, acknowledging the need to reconcile for past actions.
Grintin my teeth, for another week of this
I grit my teeth, preparing for another challenging week.
Baring my soul, lord only knows I ain't made for this
I expose my innermost self, realizing I am not suited for this life.
Cause I've been running for too long
I've been on the run for an extended period.
Chasing something that feels like home
Pursuing something that gives a sense of belonging, a place to call home.
Another dollar made, another dollar gone
Every earned dollar is offset by one lost, depicting a cyclical struggle.
The Devil was a blind man making mistakes
The Devil, often depicted as blind, made errors leading to his downfall.
Had everything he wanted before he threw it away
Despite having everything, he discarded it willingly.
Saw him from the top fall from his grace
Observing the Devil's fall from grace, a metaphor for personal realization.
I feel the water reach my lungs
I sense imminent danger as water surrounds me.
As my airways cave their done
My air supply is cut off, indicating a struggle for survival.
And that bridge is burned, the fires out
A symbolic bridge is burned, and the consequences are evident.
Smoke just bellows through the house
Smoke fills the space, representing the aftermath of a destructive event.
If the lord don't take me
If divine intervention doesn't occur, the isolation will drive me mad.
The solitude's gonna drive me crazy
Refusing to revert to a previous state of confusion or stupor.
Never will I fall back in that daze
I won't allow myself to fall into a haze of uncertainty again.
It's the hours that I break
The challenging moments I endure will lead me to safety.
That's gonna bring me where I'm safe
It's the difficulties I face that will ultimately provide security.
Do my dreams seem so far away
Expressing doubt about the attainability of my dreams.
Will I make it further before I break
Questioning whether I can achieve more before reaching a breaking point.
Or will I just get swept away from all this grace
Concerns about being overwhelmed and losing a sense of grace.
I'm treading Water I'll be drowning again
Reiteration of the struggle to stay afloat and the impending drowning.
I screamed to God It's time to make Amends
A repeated plea to God for reconciliation and redemption.
Grintin' my teeth, for another week of this
Grimacing in anticipation of another challenging week.
Baring my soul, Lord only knows I Ain't Made For This
Reiterating the feeling of not being suited for the current situation.
Chasing something that feels like HOME
Continuing the pursuit of something that feels like a true home.
Chasing something that feels like
A repeated emphasis on the quest for a place that feels like home.
HOMEEEEEE
Extended emphasis on the concept of "home" with an intense delivery.
