Temptation
Eternal Struggle: Resisting Temptation and Seeking Redemption
Lyrics
I can't seem to rest
The singer feels unable to find peace or relaxation.
All these voices in my head
The singer hears conflicting thoughts or emotions in their mind.
Trying to forget
An attempt is made to disregard or erase certain thoughts or memories.
But temptation never ends
Despite efforts, the allure of temptation remains constant.
I can't seem to rest
Similar to line 1, an inability to find peace or relaxation is reiterated.
All these voices in my head
Repetition of conflicting thoughts or emotions experienced by the singer.
Trying to forget
A continued attempt to ignore or move past certain thoughts or memories.
But temptation never ends
Despite efforts, the persistent presence of temptation remains.
Rewriting all my wrongs
The singer is trying to correct past mistakes or misdeeds.
Just for you to move along
Efforts to amend wrongs are made for someone else to move on.
Gotta do this on my own
The singer realizes the necessity of dealing with issues independently.
Only one who can help me out
The singer recognizes they are the sole individual capable of aiding themselves.
All for a change
An intention to change for the betterment of a situation or oneself.
Ain't going our separate ways oh no
Commitment to staying together, not parting ways.
Over desperate days oh no
Refers to enduring challenging or desperate times.
Sick of selfish ways oh no
The singer is tired of acting in self-centered ways.
Never looking back
A determination to move forward without dwelling on the past.
Keeping on the tracks
Staying focused on the right path or trajectory.
Wanted for the past
Desire to escape the past but haunted by previous actions.
Haunted by my actions
The singer is troubled by the consequences of their past deeds.
I can't seem to rest
Restlessness or inability to find peace reiterated once again.
All these voices in my head
Repetition of conflicting thoughts or emotions experienced by the singer.
Trying to forget
A continued attempt to ignore or move past certain thoughts or memories.
But temptation never ends
Despite efforts, the persistent presence of temptation remains.
I can't seem to rest
Similar to line 24, an inability to find peace or relaxation is reiterated.
All these voices in my head
Repetition of conflicting thoughts or emotions experienced by the singer.
Trying to forget
A continued attempt to ignore or move past certain thoughts or memories.
But temptation never ends
Despite efforts, the persistent presence of temptation remains.
Bring me away up high in the heaven
Desire to be taken to a higher, more positive place.
Take me away far from the devil
Request to be distanced from negative influences or temptations.
Bring me away up high in the heavens
Reiteration of the desire to reach a better place, away from negativity.
Take me away far from the devil
Reiteration of the plea to be kept away from negative influences.
