Lyrics
There are some questions that
Expressing a need to ask certain questions
I really need to ask you
Directly addressing the person to whom the questions are directed
I found them swimming
Describing the questions as thoughts circulating in the mind
Around in my brain
Metaphorically referring to the mind as a body of water where thoughts swim
I know you promised
Recalling a promise made by the person being addressed
That nothing is beyond You
Acknowledging the assurance that nothing is beyond the person's capabilities
So I better ask before I go insane
Expressing a sense of urgency to ask the questions before losing mental stability
Why do I do what I don't wanna do
Pondering the reasons behind engaging in undesired actions
When I don't do the things
Reflecting on the inconsistency of not doing what should be done
That I know really should do
Contemplating personal contradictions in behavior
I'm a walking contradiction
Describing oneself as conflicting in actions and beliefs
Of the things that I do
Highlighting the discrepancy between actions and professed beliefs
And the things that I say I believe
Acknowledging a verbal affirmation of certain beliefs
But you know the way I wanna be
Recognizing a desired way of being
And I know that's
Acknowledging a perceived nature of the addressed deity
The kind of God you are
Asserting confidence in the deity's nature
Somehow you can see
Believing in the deity's ability to perceive beauty in difficult situations
The beauty in this mess
Emphasizing the unique capacity of the deity to make sense of chaos
Only you can make sense
Attributing the ability to find meaning in disorder exclusively to the deity
Of this madness
Stating the central theme of the song - finding sense in madness through the deity
That sounds so simple you'd
Considering the simplicity of the concept being discussed
Think understand it
Suggesting that understanding may not be as straightforward as it seems
Maybe it just takes some time
Speculating that time might be a factor in understanding the truth
For the truth
Asserting the existence of a truth that needs time to be fully grasped
To sink in
Emphasizing the gradual process of the truth sinking in
I know Your mercies
Acknowledging the recurring nature of divine mercies
Are new with every morning
Affirming the daily renewal of divine mercies
So everyday I'm going
Committing to a daily prayer, indicating a need for guidance and understanding
Pray this prayer all over again
Expressing a cyclical nature of the prayer, suggesting a continuous need for guidance
Why do I do what I don't wanna do
Reiterating the internal struggle of engaging in undesired actions
When I don't do the things
Reflecting on the inconsistency of not doing what should be done
That I know really should do
Repeating the theme of personal contradictions in behavior
I'm a walking contradiction
Describing oneself as conflicting in actions and beliefs
Of the things that I do
Highlighting the discrepancy between actions and professed beliefs
And the things that I say I believe
Acknowledging a verbal affirmation of certain beliefs
