Pleaser
Rising from Shadows: Embracing Redemption Amidst Life's Trials
Lyrics
I had it all
I previously possessed everything.
I had it made
I was successful and content.
I kept that guillotine held high
I proudly displayed a metaphorical guillotine, suggesting a potential threat or danger.
I kept it clean I kept it safe
I maintained it in a pristine and secure state.
And while the walls are closing in
Amid challenges, it becomes apparent that obstacles are not formidable.
I see they're only paper thin
The difficulties are superficial, like thin walls.
I had my back up against the wall
Faced with adversity, with limited options.
I took a little, then a lot
I initially took a small risk, then a larger one.
Sometimes you gotta fall
Acknowledging the necessity to experience failure at times.
When you walk before you crawl
Learning and progressing involve stumbling before advancing.
Cut out for God to save my soul
I believed I was destined for salvation, but God seems distant and unresponsive.
But he don't return my calls
God doesn't answer my pleas for help.
Please, please
A plea for mercy or assistance.
You said you were a pleaser
You claimed to be accommodating or satisfying.
Leave me in peace
A request to be left alone.
This world has eyes my dear
The world is watching, and scrutiny is directed towards you.
And they're all turned on you
The world's attention is focused on you.
Please, please
A repetition of the plea for peace.
You said you was a pleaser
You affirmed being accommodating or satisfying.
Release me in peace
A request for liberation or tranquility.
This world will torture you
The world has the capacity to inflict pain and betrayal.
This world will turn on you
The world can turn against you.
Sometimes you gotta fall
A repetition of the acknowledgment that falling is sometimes necessary.
When you walk before you crawl
Reiterating the importance of experiencing setbacks before progress.
Cut out for God to save my soul
Expressing a sense of divine purpose, but feeling abandoned by God.
But he don't return my calls
God remains unresponsive to my calls for help.
How do you feel
A question about emotional state.
No pain
No emotional or physical suffering.
No shame
No guilt or disgrace.
You're no pleaser
You are not someone who seeks to please others.
How do you feel
A repetition of the inquiry about emotional state.
No pain
No pain is experienced.
No shame
No sense of shame is present.
You're no pleaser
You are not motivated to please others.
