Holy Man
Unveiling Depths: Erik Penny's 'Holy Man' Decoded
Lyrics
I ain't no holy man
The singer is stating they are not a saintly or exceptionally virtuous person.
Things I don't understand
There are certain aspects or concepts that the singer finds difficult to comprehend.
I'm not your enemy
They do not perceive themselves as someone against the listener; they aren't an adversary.
Sucking your energy
Metaphorically, the singer is not draining the listener’s vitality intentionally.
Stumbling through the dark
Feeling lost and uncertain, struggling in a challenging situation.
Trying to mend a broken heart
Attempting to mend a heart that has been fractured or hurt.
Not knowing where to start
Starting to solve a problem but unsure where to begin.
Yeah that's the hardest part
Expressing the difficulty of initiating something in such circumstances.
But I won't let you down
Promising not to disappoint or fail the listener.
No I won't let you down
Reiterating the commitment not to let the listener down.
Sun shines through the clouds
Positivity breaking through difficulties, symbolized by sunlight breaking through clouds.
And I won't let you down
Reaffirming the determination not to fail the listener.
Like midnight on a train
Comparing a difficult situation to the darkness of midnight on a train journey.
Pushing through the pouring rain
Struggling through tough times, akin to pushing through heavy rain.
Pushing my way to you
Expressing the singer’s desire to reach the listener despite obstacles.
Is all I wanna do
Showing single-minded determination to reach the listener.
'Cause I won't let you down
Commitment not to fail the listener, reiterated.
No I won't let you down
Reiterating the commitment not to let the listener down.
Sun shines through the clouds
Positivity breaking through difficulties, symbolized by sunlight breaking through clouds.
And I won't let you down
Reaffirming the determination not to fail the listener.
Like chasing ripples, it was supposed to be simple
Comparing a pursuit to chasing ripples, initially perceived as easy but becoming complicated.
But the smoke gets in your eyes
Obstacles or distractions obstructing clear vision or understanding.
Sooner or later, everyone is a player
Implying that everyone takes on roles in life, and these roles may change unexpectedly.
And the roles we hold on
Roles people assume can dissolve suddenly.
Dissemble in the blink of an eye
Highlighting the transient nature of roles and perceptions, subject to quick change.
And we learn to see the sin in the lie
Learning to perceive deceit or falsehoods among truths.
I ain't no holy man
Reiteration that the singer is not a saintly or exceptionally virtuous person.
Just help me understand
Seeking comprehension or understanding from the listener.
'Cause I won't let you down
Commitment not to fail the listener, reiterated.
No I won't let you down
Reiterating the commitment not to let the listener down.
Sun shines through the clouds
Positivity breaking through difficulties, symbolized by sunlight breaking through clouds.
And I won't let you down
Reaffirming the determination not to fail the listener.
I won't let you down
Emphasizing the commitment not to let the listener down.
I won't let you down
Reiteration of the commitment not to fail the listener.
Sun shines through the clouds
Positivity breaking through difficulties, symbolized by sunlight breaking through clouds.
And I won't let you down
Reaffirmation of the determination not to fail the listener.
