Susanna
Short of Glory: Unveiling the Struggles and Reflections in Christopher Martin's 'Susanna'
Lyrics
It's true
Acknowledgment of truth or reality.
I fall short of Your Glory
Admitting to falling short of divine perfection.
Yeah I fall short
Reiteration of falling short spiritually.
Yeah, I know
Recognition of awareness.
Things ain't gonna change
Anticipation that circumstances won't improve.
No, we ain't all the same
Assertion of individual differences.
(Now that's Fundamental)
Reference to fundamental truths.
What's Up?
Greeting or inquiry.
I don't know
Uncertainty or lack of knowledge.
I can't stop from crying
Expressing emotional distress.
You must not remember the Ships
Recollection of historical hardships, possibly slavery.
On your Horizon
Symbolic reference to challenges on the horizon.
Your beautiful Sunset
Appreciation of beauty, possibly juxtaposed with struggles.
It'll blow your mind
The beauty is profound and impactful.
The scary stories
Introduction of frightening narratives or experiences.
My Eyes are Bleeding
Personal suffering or intense emotions.
Oh why...
Questioning the reasons for suffering.
Fighting myself, Fighting my Brother
Internal and external conflicts, possibly societal.
Fighting each other
Continuation of internal and external struggles.
When there is no other
Highlighting the absence of alternatives.
But i and i
Emphasizing individuality and unity.
Yeah yeah
Confirmation or agreement.
Get out from your fuckry
Encouragement to abandon foolishness or negativity.
Yeah yeah
Reiteration of the need to discard negativity.
Get out from your fuckry
Further emphasis on abandoning negativity.
Yeah yeah (Peter Tosh, Steel Pulse)
Reference to influential figures (Peter Tosh, Steel Pulse).
Get your mind right boy
Advising to align thoughts positively.
And tell me what have you learned?
Prompting reflection on acquired knowledge.
It's true
Repetition of falling short spiritually.
I fall short of Your Glory
Admitting to falling short of divine perfection again.
Yeah I fall short (Lord it's true)
Reiteration of recognizing spiritual shortcomings.
Yeah, I know
Recognition of awareness repeated.
Things ain't gonna change
Anticipation that circumstances won't improve repeated.
No, we ain't all the same
Assertion of individual differences repeated.
(Now that's Fundamental)
Reference to fundamental truths repeated.
What's Up?
Greeting or inquiry repeated.
My Eyes are Bleeding
Personal suffering or intense emotions repeated.
I can't stop from crying
Expressing emotional distress repeated.
You must not remember the Ships
Recollection of historical hardships repeated.
On your Horizon
Symbolic reference to challenges on the horizon repeated.
Your beautiful Sunset
Appreciation of beauty, possibly juxtaposed with struggles repeated.
It'll blow your mind
The beauty is profound and impactful repeated.
The scary stories
Introduction of frightening narratives or experiences repeated.
My Eyes are Bleeding
Personal suffering or intense emotions repeated.
Oh why...
Questioning the reasons for suffering repeated.
