Rising from Pain: A Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
On the day I was born the skies shattered and wept
Symbolic description of a dramatic and impactful birth, suggesting a significant destiny.
You best believe it was something to see, baby
Highlighting the uniqueness and awe-inspiring nature of the narrator's birth.
Saviour born sinner delivered as flesh
Referencing a paradoxical identity, born as a savior yet inherently sinful in human form.
When I took my first breath the earth rattled and shook
Emphasizing the power of the narrator's existence, causing a seismic reaction upon taking the first breath.
I'm graced by disgrace, I put rats in their place, yeah
Expressing a sense of empowerment over adversaries, asserting dominance.
They're barking like dogs while we're howling like wolves
Drawing a contrast between the narrator's strength (howling like wolves) and others' weakness (barking like dogs).
I come alive forged in fire
Describing a rebirth or awakening, possibly through challenging experiences.
My love will break these
Affirming the narrator's resilience and determination to overcome hardships and limitations.
Chains built from pain
-They can't hold me down
-From a mountain on high I feel I must confess
Admitting past flaws or mistakes, possibly related to harboring hatred.
There was a time I let hatred define me
Conveying a struggle with personal demons and the triumph of overcoming pride.
I wrestled those demons, left pride in my wake
-Rise and wake up, it's our time to prevail
-How could you think I would ever deceive you
Assuring loyalty and honesty, vowing to live and die by one's principles.
I live by the sword and I'll die by my word
-I come alive forged in fire
Reiterating the theme of resilience and breaking free from the chains of suffering.
My love will break these
-Chains built from pain
-They can't hold me down
-And these words are forced from my lungs
Describing a sense of urgency and potential self-destructive tendencies, with a willingness to take others down.
With a time bomb attached to my tongue
-And you wanna know will I fall?
-I don't know, but if I do
-I'll take this whole place down with me
-And we'll drift off to sleep in a wakeless abyss
Imagining a peaceful aftermath, possibly in death or oblivion.
I come alive forged in fire
Recalling the theme of rebirth and the power of love to overcome pain and limitations.
My love will break these
-Chains built from pain
-They can't hold me down
-I wrap around every thorn
Symbolizing embracing both the painful and beautiful aspects of life, acknowledging past mistakes.
And every flower
-Placed on the grave
-Of your past mistakes
-My last words are ripped from my chest
Expressing a final, honest statement, aiming to expose and dispel falsehoods and lies.
Like a wrongful arrest
-But I'm here to make you bury these lies
-My head hurts from all the truth
Reflecting on the burden of truth, causing mental distress or headache.
