Let My Soul Rest
Finding Peace Beyond Pain: Let My Soul Rest by Richard Ashcroft
Lyrics
Are you with me? Are you here?
Asking if someone is present or accompanying the speaker.
'Cause I can't see, I heard the word
Expressing inability to perceive, but having heard something.
I heard a whisper (I want you to hear) in the trees
Referring to hearing a subtle sound or message in nature.
I heard a problem in the breeze
Suggesting awareness of a problem conveyed through the wind.
Lord have mercy, let me be, yeah yeah
Pleading for mercy or relief from distress.
Let my soul rest in peace
Expressing a desire for peace and tranquility for the soul.
Oh I have had too much pain, had too much pain
Acknowledging enduring significant emotional suffering.
Oh-oh-oh, I wanna fly again, I wanna fly again
Expressing a longing to experience freedom or happiness again.
So take me up through the shit
Asking to be lifted above difficulties and hardships.
And the hurt, let me find rarer air
Seeking a place of rarefied or better emotional conditions.
Where I cope, where I fit
Expressing a desire to find one's place or comfort.
Where there's hope to forgive
Where there is a possibility of forgiveness and optimism.
Where this dark comes to light, oh-oh-oh
Where truth prevails over darkness or hidden aspects.
Let my soul fly
Asking for the soul to find freedom and liberation.
Please stay a while, babe, please stay a while
Requesting someone to remain close for a period.
Oh, (sh-la-la-la) let my soul rest in peace (sh-la-la-la)
Reiterating the wish for the soul to find peace.
Let me fly with the company that I need
Desiring companionship or support during the journey.
That I want, you make me breathe
Expressing dependence and the need for someone to bring vitality.
I miss you so much, it's killing me
Feeling intense emotional pain due to missing someone dearly.
Do they know where I've been?
Questioning whether others are aware of the speaker's experiences.
About the hurt, and the blood and the loss and the love
Reflecting on past pain, sacrifice, and affection.
Lord forgive me, here I come
Seeking forgiveness and preparing for a return or reconciliation.
