Sin for a Sin
Repentance: Consequences of Love & Redemption in 'Sin for a Sin'
Lyrics
I remember vividly what that vision did to me
I vividly recall the impact of the image in my mind
You laying with her in our bed
You being intimate with another person in our shared bed
Love can be a tragedy
Love can turn into a tragic experience
When you do what you did to me
When you committed the actions that hurt me
All I'm seeing now is red
All I see now is anger and intense emotion
I need to repent
I feel the need to seek forgiveness
A sin for a sin
Retribution for your wrongdoing, matching sin for sin
Bible told me to forgive
The Bible instructs me to forgive those who wrong me
All those who trespass against
Anyone who violates sacred ground
Tread their feet on sacred ground
Steps on what is holy
Bad things come with consequence
Consequences accompany bad actions
What feels good, hurts in the end
What brings temporary pleasure can cause long-term pain
Don't want to think about that now
Not willing to think about consequences at the moment
I need to repent
I feel the need to seek forgiveness
A sin for a sin
Retribution for your wrongdoing, matching sin for sin
Fire and brimstone
Reference to divine punishment (fire and brimstone)
Dirt and a headstone
Symbolism of death and burial (dirt and headstone)
Burn them, baby
Destroy them metaphorically
All of our sins
Burying all our sins
Hear the thunder
Hearing the consequences (thunder)
Six feet under
Being deeply buried (six feet under)
Hit your knees
Expressing remorse and repentance (hit your knees)
Wont do it again
Committing not to repeat the mistake
Guilty pleasure
Enjoying something that brings guilt
Ease the pain
Trying to alleviate the emotional pain
Whiskey runnin' through my veins
Feeling the influence of alcohol
Too late to save you now
It's too late to save the relationship now
I need to repent
I feel the need to seek forgiveness
A sin for a sin
Retribution for your wrongdoing, matching sin for sin
Fire and brimstone
Reference to divine punishment (fire and brimstone)
Dirt and a headstone
Symbolism of death and burial (dirt and headstone)
Bury them deep
Deeply burying the sins
Along with your sins
Burying all the wrongdoing
Hear the thunder
Hearing the consequences (thunder)
Six feet under
Being deeply buried (six feet under)
Hit your knees
Expressing remorse and repentance (hit your knees)
Wont do it again
Committing not to repeat the mistake
I remember vividly
Recalling the impact of the traumatic image
What that vision did to me
What that vision did to me is remembered vividly
