Personal Sins
Redemption Denied: Confronting Personal Sins and Hypocrisy
Lyrics
Confess to borrow from the Christ
Confession seeking forgiveness from Christ.
Forgive my mortal sins
Request for forgiveness for personal wrongdoings.
Save my helpless soul
Plea for salvation of the speaker's vulnerable soul.
Deliver me from evil
Desire to be liberated from the influence of evil forces.
Don't you touch my sins
Assertion to keep one's sins untouched by external forces.
Leave alone my soul
Declaration to protect the integrity of the soul from interference.
I am not your son
Rejection of any paternal or godly authority.
You are not my god
Denial of a divine relationship; asserting independence.
My sins always with me
Acknowledgment of carrying personal sins consistently.
They are part of my being
Recognition that sins are integral to the speaker's identity.
I will reject your lies
Commitment to rejecting falsehoods or deceit.
I will lead my own life
Determination to lead an independent and authentic life.
Your own hypocrisy
Condemnation of perceived hypocrisy, possibly external.
Only makes me feel sick
Expression of disgust towards hypocrisy in others.
Gather worthless souls
Call to gather individuals considered worthless or misled.
Govern your flock of fools
Encouragement to control or guide a group of misguided individuals.
Confess to borrow from the Christ
Repetition of the initial confession and plea for forgiveness.
Forgive my mortal sins
Restatement of the request for absolution of mortal sins.
Save my helpless soul
Renewal of the plea for the rescue of the soul.
Deliver me from evil
Reiteration of the desire to be freed from evil influence.
Don't you touch my sins
Reaffirmation to guard one's sins against external interference.
Leave alone my soul
Repetition of the commitment to protect the soul's autonomy.
I am not your son
Reiteration of disassociation from any divine paternal figure.
You are not my god
Confirmation of the denial of a god-like relationship.
