Breaking Chains: Battling Inner Ghosts with Vintage Virtue
Lyrics
I don't wanna live this way no more
I want to change my current way of living.
Loving what's right when I do what's wrong
Struggling with doing what is morally right when tempted to do the wrong thing.
It's a warzone in my mind
My mind is a battleground filled with internal conflicts.
With the ghosts that live inside
Haunted by inner demons or past experiences.
And I don't know what I'm fighting for
Uncertain about the purpose or goal of the internal struggle.
I hear You came to bleed and die
A reference to Jesus sacrificing himself for eternal life.
To give me everlasting life
Grateful for the gift of eternal life through Jesus' sacrifice.
I don't do what I like
Choosing not to indulge in personal desires.
And I don't like what I do
Disliking one's own actions or behavior.
You know I want to do right
Expressing the desire to do what is right.
And then I wander from You
Struggling with maintaining the desired behavior.
Jesus, keep me from sin
Seeking divine help to avoid sin.
That wants to kill me within
Acknowledging the destructive nature of internal sin.
And believing that same old lie
Falling for the same deception repeatedly.
That vintage vice
Identifying and acknowledging a recurring sinful tendency.
Jesus, keep me from sin
Reiterating the plea for protection from internal sin.
That wants to kill me within
Re-emphasizing the destructive nature of internal sin.
And believing that same old lie
Stressing the importance of avoiding a familiar deception.
I don't wanna function with this stress
Expressing a desire to escape a stressful situation.
Caught between spirit and my flesh
Struggling with the conflict between spiritual and worldly desires.
It's a warzone in my mind
Repetition of the idea of a mental battleground with inner conflicts.
With the ghosts that live inside
Continuing to be haunted by internal struggles or past experiences.
Can anyone save me from this
Seeking salvation or deliverance from a challenging situation.
Body of death
Feeling burdened by the consequences of one's actions.
I hear You bid me come and die
Referencing an invitation to surrender and find eternal life through Jesus.
To give me everlasting life
Expressing gratitude for the promise of everlasting life.
I don't do what I like
Choosing not to act on personal preferences or desires.
And I don't like what I do
Expressing dissatisfaction with one's own actions.
You know I want to do right
Reiterating the desire to do what is right.
And then I wander from You
Acknowledging the tendency to deviate from the desired path.
Jesus, keep me from sin
Seeking divine intervention to avoid sin.
That wants to kill me within
Recognizing the internal threat posed by sin.
And believing that same old lie
Acknowledging belief in a persistent and damaging deception.
That vintage vice
Repeating the identification of a recurring sinful tendency.
Jesus, keep me from sin
Reiterating the plea for protection from internal sin.
That wants to kill me within
Emphasizing the destructive nature of internal sin.
And believing that same old lie
Reiterating belief in a persistent and damaging deception.
