This Desert
Desert of Desolation: Finding Hope Amidst Shadows
Lyrics
This sea of doubt like sand surrounds
This sea of doubt is surrounding me like sand
Fear, the sun that beats me down
Fear is like the scorching sun, overwhelming and oppressive
Ever waiting for rain to fall
Hopeful anticipation for positive change, represented by waiting for rain to fall
In this wasteland I call my soul
The singer describes their inner struggles as a barren wasteland
I'm suffocating in this cloud
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by challenges
I'm devastated, lost and blind
Experiencing devastation, feeling lost and blinded by difficulties
So elevate me, pull me out
Seeking elevation or rescue, asking for help to be pulled out of despair
I'm broken and contrite
Expressing brokenness and contrition, a sense of remorse or repentance
In this desert
Reiterating the challenging situation, emphasizing the metaphorical desert
In this desert
-Silence now, would you break your vow
Asking if silence would break a commitment or promise
Turn your back and let me drown
Feeling abandoned and asking if someone would let them suffer
Ever waiting for grace to fall
Waiting for grace, hoping for mercy or divine intervention
Can You see man, can You hear me
Questioning if a higher power can see, hear, and care about the singer's struggles
Do You care at all
-I'm suffocating in this cloud
Repetition of feelings of suffocation, devastation, and a plea for elevation
I'm devastated, lost and blind
-So elevate me, pull me out
-I'm broken and contrite
-In this desert
Reiteration of being in a metaphorical desert, emphasizing the challenging state
In this desert
-I know You know
Acknowledging the understanding and empathy of a supportive presence
I know You empathize
-I know You know
-You're by my side
-When I'm suffocating in this cloud
Repetition of the plea for elevation, emphasizing brokenness and contrition
I'm devastated, lost and blind
-So elevate me, pull me out
-I'm broken and contrite
-I'm suffocating in this cloud
Continued repetition of feelings and the plea for rescue or elevation
I'm devastated, lost and blind
-So elevate me, pull me out
-I'm broken and contrite
-In this desert
Reiteration of being in a desert, encapsulating the overall theme of the song
In this desert
