Let Me In The Pearly Gates
Yearning for Redemption: Pleading at Heaven's Door
Lyrics
I know I circle my thoughts
I continuously revisit my thoughts and emotions.
And I know I can't let it go
I struggle to release or move past something.
Drop me off in the dark
Leave me in a place of uncertainty or difficulty.
Mascara running down my nose
Tears streaking down my face, expressing emotional distress.
Lately, my money's been all wrong
Recently, my financial situation has been problematic.
I bet on jockeys with no sense
I make risky bets or decisions without logic.
I bet on horses with three legs
I invest in hopeless or doomed situations.
I bet you're leaving me again
I suspect you're leaving me once more.
It's swarming over me
Feeling overwhelmed by something.
I've fallen to my knees
I've reached a point of desperation or submission.
How does my hair look from the back?
Inquiring about my appearance, possibly seeking validation or reassurance.
Maybe it's biology
Suggesting that love might be influenced by biological factors.
That you couldn't love me
Suggesting a belief that the other person is incapable of loving me.
Or maybe it was just the wrong time
Wondering if the relationship failed due to bad timing.
Still, I won't be free
Despite the circumstances, I feel trapped or unable to move forward.
Ordered my body by decree
I've tried to control or manage my physical self, but emotions remain uncontrolled.
But your heart is set in stone
Your emotions or decision seem unchangeable or fixed.
Only fools learn to believe
Suggesting that believing in certain things makes one foolish.
Only fools could be happy
Implies that only foolish people can find happiness in an idealized heaven.
In a god's great heaven
Expresses a desire for acceptance into a divine afterlife.
Let me in the pearly gates
Asking for entry into a heavenly place of purity and peace.
And breathe
Repetition of "And breathe" suggests a need for relief or calmness.
And breathe
-And breathe
-And breathe
