Mercy
Embracing Mercy: A Journey Through Life's Trials and Triumphs
Lyrics
Well I have lived ten years plus ten
Reflecting on a decade plus ten years of life experiences.
And ten and ten again
Emphasizing the passing of time and accumulated experiences.
I have seen too much to pretend
Acknowledging the reality of life and refusing to pretend otherwise.
Then you wanted to come in
Someone expressing a desire to enter the narrator's life.
I have survived all of the lies
Having endured deception, gaining wisdom from lies.
They made me wise
The narrator becoming wise due to past experiences.
The locks and walls and the peace it buys
Referencing protective measures taken, both physical and emotional.
Still when I look into your eyes
Despite defenses, vulnerability is felt when looking into someone's eyes.
It's a surprise when you say
Expressing surprise at the comforting words spoken by the person.
It's gonna be all right
Assurance that things will improve.
It's gonna be okay
Reiteration that the situation will get better.
Just hold on tight
Encouragement to endure difficulties by holding on.
Let it all go away
Suggesting the release of troubles and allowing them to fade away.
Oh mercy mercy baby
A plea for mercy, seeking understanding from the person.
What do you want from me
Questioning the expectations and needs of the person.
Well I plead mercy mercy baby
Repeating the plea for mercy, expressing confusion.
I do not know what this all means
Confession of uncertainty and not understanding the situation.
It's been awhile since I been stylin'
Recalling the past when the narrator felt stylish and confident.
In just my jacket and my jeans
Describing a simple outfit of just a jacket and jeans.
It hurts to walk it hurts to talk
Physical and emotional pain, making it challenging to function.
It hurts to think about it
Reflecting on the difficulty of processing painful thoughts.
Shout about it
Expressing the need to vocalize and communicate the pain.
Could I be sure without a doubt
Questioning the certainty of the person's commitment and love.
That you could never live without me
Expressing doubt about being indispensable to the person.
I want to fall in you crawl in you
Desire to completely immerse in and surrender to the person.
Surrender all in you now
Expressing a willingness to give everything to the person.
Could I be sure in you pure in you
Seeking assurance of purity and certainty in the relationship.
Finding the cure in you
Hoping to find a solution and healing in the person.
Now I plead have mercy on me
A renewed plea for mercy and understanding.
Now I am kneeling at the alter
Symbolically kneeling and seeking solace in the person's presence.
In the temple of your eyes
Describing the person's eyes as a place of spiritual significance.
And I am asking for a miracle
Expressing a need for a miraculous change after a long period of stagnation.
I have been too long paralyzed
Feeling immobilized for too long and seeking a breakthrough.
When you say get up and stand up
Encouragement to rise and overcome challenges with hope.
And climb the rope of hope
Metaphorically climbing the rope of hope for a positive transformation.
And open up again
An invitation to open up emotionally and start anew.
Oh the peace you say is promised me
The promised peace appears overwhelming and hard to grasp.
Seems too much to comprehend
Expressing difficulty in comprehending the promised peace.
