Lyrics

I gave my eyes to the media

I dedicated my attention to the media

I gave my heart to the fame

I devoted my emotions to seeking fame

Walked into church like a pop star

I entered the church with a sense of celebrity, akin to a pop star

I murdered Able I'm the Cain

I metaphorically killed someone (referencing Cain and Abel), suggesting harmful actions

I gave my word then I broke it

I made promises and then broke them

Thought I was 10 ft 10

I had an inflated sense of self-importance, thinking I was taller than I really am

Quoted the Bible then revoked it

I quoted the Bible but later renounced or contradicted those statements

Then I did it all again

I repeated the cycle of making mistakes


Then you took me in

Then you (possibly referring to a higher power or a significant other) accepted me

And taught me how to love

And taught me the essence of love

Became everything

I transformed into everything I had been pursuing and dreaming of

That I'd been chasing after and dreaming of

I reached a point where everything seemed meaningless

I got to the end

At the end of my pursuits

And everything was meaningless

And realized the futility of my endeavors

Chasing after the wind

Continually chasing elusive goals

Everything means nothing without you

Emphasizing that everything holds no value without the presence of the significant 'you'


I took my food from the trash can

I resorted to desperate measures, taking sustenance from discarded sources

I traded gold for the swine

I exchanged valuable things for something of lesser worth

I kissed Jesus in the garden

I betrayed my beliefs or principles, akin to Judas betraying Jesus

Then I shouted 'crucify'

I expressed hostility or rejection, akin to the crowd calling for Jesus' crucifixion

I threw my rocks at the sinners

I criticized those who sinned or made mistakes

Then I sang with the saints

I participated in worship with those considered virtuous

I ate your grace for my dinners

I consumed the grace extended to me

But I choked on your name

I struggled or had difficulty accepting the presence or influence of a significant name
