Mercy Me
Finding Redemption in Shadows: Koos Kombuis' Mercy Me Journey
Lyrics
Been a long time on this road
Expressing a long duration spent on a particular journey or path.
There was a stage when I believed it
At a previous time, the speaker had belief or confidence in something.
Now the signs are pointing nowhere, I'm not sure I can receive it
Currently, there are no clear indications or directions, and the speaker is unsure if they can accept it.
If there's a message on that tree
Searching for a message or guidance, possibly from nature.
If there's mercy there for me
Hoping for mercy or forgiveness in a difficult situation.
Please help me to confess my sins, I've got a burden and it's hurting me
Desiring assistance in admitting wrongdoings and feeling burdened by them.
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Repetition emphasizing the plea for mercy due to feeling lost and speechless.
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
-I've got nothing left to say and I have lost my fuckin' way
-Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
-I was born in blood and darkness on the bad side of the street
Describing a challenging or troubled upbringing, possibly in a difficult environment.
My family, you were renegades that couldn't hear the different beat
Family members were rebellious and didn't conform to societal norms.
There's a door which says salvation and a passageway to hell
Choices between salvation and damnation, feeling without guidance.
But I've got no one to rely on, no one to wish me well
Feeling abandoned, lacking support or well-wishes from others.
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Repeated plea for mercy due to feeling lost and helpless.
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
-I've got nothing left to say and I have lost my fuckin' way
-Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
-Will you help me to return to you?
Seeking acceptance, companionship, and comfort in a state of loneliness and sorrow.
Will you receive me as your own?
-Will you set aside my sorrow?
-Can you see that I'm alone?
-Is there a way I can repay
Questioning if there's a way to make amends for past mistakes and wondering about alternative ways of living.
All the ugly things I've done
-Is there another way to live beneath this dying, dying sun?
-Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Reiteration of the plea for mercy, feeling speechless and directionless.
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
-I've got nothing left to say and I have lost my fuckin' way
-Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
