David
Hunting Giants of the Soul: A Journey Through Noah Gundersen's 'David'
Lyrics
I keep kicking at the curb
I persistently kick at the curb
With my worn out shoes
With my well-worn shoes
I keep running into strangers that
Encountering unfamiliar individuals who claim knowledge of me
Say I know you
Expressing a desire not to be proud, but rather to be a humble man
I don't want to be a proud man
Rejecting the aspiration to be overly proud
I just want to be a man
Expressing a simple desire to be a genuine man
A little less like my father
Wishing to be less like one's father and more like one's dad
And more like my dad
Distinguishing between the roles of a father and a dad
I want to hunt like David
Expressing a desire to emulate the bravery of David
I want to kill me a giant man
Expressing a desire to overcome significant challenges
I want to slay my demons
Expressing a desire to conquer personal struggles
But I've got lots of them
Acknowledging the presence of numerous personal demons
I've got lots of them
Emphasizing the abundance of personal struggles
I try to k-k-k-keep my conscience clean
Struggling to maintain a clear conscience
I try to k-k-k-keep myself out
Striving to keep oneself away from your nightmares
Of your bad dreams
Trying to avoid being part of negative dreams
I try to wash my hands for you every night
Attempting to cleanse oneself for the sake of someone else
Lest you find my strangling
Fearing the discovery of harmful actions
Fingers wrapped around tight
Expressing concern about potential harm caused by one's actions
I want to hunt like David
Reiterating the desire to emulate David's bravery
I want to kill me a giant man
Expressing a desire to overcome a formidable opponent
I want to slay my demons
Expressing a desire to conquer personal demons
But I've got lots of them
Acknowledging the presence of numerous personal demons
I've got lots of them
Emphasizing the abundance of personal struggles
I want to hunt like David
Reiterating the desire to emulate David's bravery
I want to kill me a giant man
Expressing a desire to overcome a formidable opponent
I want to slay my demons
Expressing a desire to conquer personal demons
But I've got lots of them
Acknowledging the presence of numerous personal demons
I've got lots of them
Emphasizing the abundance of personal struggles
