Lyrics
I thought I had been born again
I believed I had experienced a spiritual rebirth.
Sparks flying from the pulpit
Intense emotions or enthusiasm during a religious sermon.
I was fighting fires for my sins
I was actively addressing and atoning for my wrongdoing.
My face against the carpet
In a humble posture, likely in prayer or repentance.
In the pews lost my hope
In the church seats, I lost my optimism or positive outlook.
Where I was supposed to find it
The church, where I expected solace, became a place of despair.
It was all I ever knew
My religious upbringing defined my reality.
And it left me broken hearted
It resulted in deep emotional pain.
I thought I had found freedom
I believed I had found true liberation.
When I moved into the city
Moving to the city seemed like a step towards freedom.
I was puking out the window
A metaphorical expression of inner turmoil, possibly self-destructive behavior.
I was trying to be pretty
I strived for external beauty, conforming to societal expectations.
They say fake it till you make it
A strategy of pretending until achieving success.
And they make it look so easy
Others' success seemed effortless, contrasting my inner struggles.
I was smiling on the outside
Showed happiness externally while internally experiencing pain.
On the inside I was screaming
An internal struggle, perhaps with authenticity or emotional distress.
I was broken when you found me
I was emotionally shattered when you discovered me.
I was drowning in self pity
Overwhelmed by self-pity and despair.
It was lonely in the darkness
Isolation and emotional desolation in a dark place.
I was sinking, I was spinning
Feeling lost, possibly with a sense of uncontrollable spiraling.
I'm not quite sure how it happened
Uncertain about the circumstances that led to the encounter.
I don't know what you were thinking
Uncertain about the intentions or thoughts during the encounter.
But you reached out your hand
A metaphorical gesture of assistance and a chance for a fresh start.
And offered me a new beginning
An offer of a new beginning or a positive change in life.
