Damascus
Journey to Revelation: Unveiling Life's Shadows
Lyrics
On the road to Damascus
Embarking on a journey to Damascus, metaphorical or literal.
Bearing what I considered good news
Carrying what the narrator believed to be positive information.
Something knocked off my glasses
An incident causing the narrator to lose clear vision or perspective.
Thought I was blinded by the light of some new truth
Feeling temporarily blinded by a new revelation or truth.
We'd do whatever you asked us
Willingness to comply with requests if communication is straightforward.
If you didn't feel the need to speak in code
Expressing a desire for clear and direct communication, without hidden meanings.
I heard the river flow past us
Auditory awareness of the river flowing, prompting a decision to follow its course.
Decided then I would follow where it flowed
Choosing to follow the metaphorical river, symbolizing a path or destiny.
Something divinely inspired
Referencing something inspired by a divine source.
In the bumbling hands of a minor prophet
A prophet with limited influence or significance.
Your word sent over a wire
Receiving a message transmitted through a wire, possibly indicating modern communication.
The sharpest edge of your sword was softened
The impact of the message being softened, less harsh or threatening.
Someday we all may grow tired
An acknowledgment that everyone may eventually tire of traditional and outdated commitments.
Of a holy covenant, old and arkless
Reference to a sacred agreement, now without the symbolic Ark, suggesting change or decline.
I saw a pillar of fire
Observing a manifestation of divine presence, a pillar of fire.
Turned around and walked into darkness
Choosing to turn away from the divine presence and enter a period of uncertainty.
You're scared of dying
Expressing a fear of death.
You're scared of dying
Repetition of the fear of death, emphasizing its impact.
You'll wake up somewhere down the line
An optimistic view that one will wake up or find clarity in the future.
You're scared of dying
Expressing a fear of death, repeating the theme.
You're scared of dying
Reiteration of the fear of death, underscoring its significance.
You'll wash up somewhere down the line
A prediction or hope of finding resolution or understanding in the future.
I'm not scared of dying, but Lord, I'm trying
The narrator's lack of fear of death but struggling to maintain a focus on eternity.
To keep eternity in mind
A commitment to keeping the concept of eternity in mind despite challenges.
