Run From Revelation
Seeking Redemption: A Reflection on Life's Journey
Lyrics
Back when I was a young man
Reflecting on the past when the speaker was younger.
I used to be a hard one
Describing a previous tough and resilient nature.
I could whiip any beast
Expressing the ability to conquer challenges.
That stood my path
Conveying the speaker's confrontational attitude.
Now I'm long in the tooth
Acknowledging the speaker's aging and experience.
And I only seek comfort
Current inclination towards seeking comfort.
My days pass like hours
Highlighting the perceived acceleration of time.
And the world moves too fast
Commenting on the fast-paced nature of the world.
If I could run from Revelation
Expressing a desire to avoid facing a revelation or truth.
I'd run straight back to Genesis
Wishing to return to a simpler, earlier state represented by Genesis.
Cry, I want to do it again
Desire to relive or experience something again, possibly regret.
Cry, I want to do it again
Reiteration of the longing to repeat a certain experience.
Back when I was a young man
Similar to the first stanza, reminiscing about youth.
I used to be a strong one
Recalling a past state of strength and resilience.
I could stand through the storm
Claiming authority over challenges, especially storms.
And command it to pass
Commanding difficulties to pass, showing confidence.
Now I'm long in the tooth
Reiteration of aging and experience.
And I'm telling you children
Imparting advice to younger generations.
You'd better learn some respect
Emphasizing the importance of respect.
Because I don't need your sass
Rejecting disrespectful behavior.
If I could run from Revelation
Repeating the desire to avoid a revelation.
I'd run straight back to Genesis
Reiterating the wish to return to a more innocent state.
Cry, I want to do it again
Echoing the sentiment of wanting to relive a specific experience.
Cry, I want to do it again
Reiterating the emotional desire to repeat a certain event.
