Settle Me Down
Finding Solid Ground: A Quest for Inner Peace
Lyrics
Could you show me how it goes?
Asking for guidance or direction in life, seeking understanding.
Or a bit of Your face?
Desiring a glimpse of God's presence or divine attributes.
My hands are stretching out to hold something worth to raise
Expressing a yearning for something meaningful to hold onto.
And its everything I'm doing
Everything the person does is dedicated to a higher purpose.
Oh, I'm doing
Reiteration of commitment and actions for a divine cause.
Oh I'm doing for your name
Actions are undertaken in the name of a higher power.
But the glow that once was here finds me heartsick here today
Feeling a lack of the previous spiritual glow, experiencing sadness.
Am I man of broken faith
Questioning one's faith and whether it's fractured.
Who just lets go at the faintest blow of the wind?
Contemplating the fragility of faith, easily shaken by external factors.
If my feet were concrete surely I'd find rest between spaces that I'm in
Yearning for stability but feeling disoriented and restless.
But alas I'm spinning around
Feeling dizzy or confused, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
To the shattered glass that found its place here on the floor:
Referring to brokenness symbolized by shattered glass on the floor.
Could you find some peace of mind to not leave me wanting more?
Pleading for reassurance and contentment, not wanting more challenges.
Jesus forgive my heart rushing
Seeking forgiveness for a heart that is rushing or anxious.
Its been clutching and at this point I'm out of breath
Expressing exhaustion from clinging to something without success.
And all I see is nothing so give me something to understand and love the rest
Desiring understanding and asking for something meaningful to hold onto.
I know you're there but give me something to lean on
Acknowledging the presence of a higher power but seeking tangible support.
My head is down but I wanna find Your solid ground
Expressing a desire to find stability in the divine amidst challenges.
Its clear that I've been broken from Eden and
Recognizing personal brokenness, possibly linked to biblical references.
My fines are high, but Lord settle me down
Acknowledging mistakes and seeking divine intervention to find peace.
Settle me down
Repetition of the plea for divine intervention and inner peace.
So if its the crowds
Listing various possible sources of distraction or challenges in life.
The smoke or the blue light needs,
Pointing out external factors that might divert attention from the divine.
The porcelain ribs, or the in-betweens
Referencing physical and spiritual aspects of human existence.
If its the fire, the wind
Enumerating potential challenges or distractions, such as fire or wind.
Or my kicking feet
Listing personal struggles or actions that may hinder spiritual growth.
Or the scrapes from my sac religious deeds
Referring to the consequences of actions contrary to religious beliefs.
If I raise up my palms would you find me here?
Pleading for recognition and presence in moments of reaching out.
Will my brain stop burning from my human fear?
Questioning whether seeking God's presence will alleviate mental turmoil.
If find you in the morning
Expressing a desire to encounter the divine in the morning.
May I call you in the night
Expressing a wish to connect with the divine both in the morning and night.
May you blow upon my embers
Asking for spiritual inspiration and guidance.
Let my tongue ignite
Expressing a desire for divine intervention in communication.
I've been broken at the hip
Acknowledging personal brokenness at a fundamental level.
And I can't let go
Struggling to let go of something significant and holding on desperately.
Oh this honey is my deity
Describing a personal attachment to something sweet and significant.
What I'm trying to hold
Expressing a strong desire to retain or grasp onto something important.
So overcome my fortress
Requesting divine intervention to overcome personal barriers.
Storm my towering walls
Pleading for the divine to break down personal defenses.
Give me Your name and the hope to make sense of it all with You
Seeking identity and understanding in the divine context.
I know you're there but give me something to lean on
Repetition of the plea for tangible support despite acknowledging divine presence.
My head is down but I wanna find Your solid ground
Expressing a desire to find stability on solid ground in the divine.
Its clear that I've been broken from Eden and
Reiterating personal brokenness and seeking divine intervention.
My fines are high, but Lord settle me down
Acknowledging personal shortcomings and seeking divine comfort.
Settle me down
Repetition of the
