Less Like Scars
Embracing Life's Transformative Journey
Lyrics
It's been a hard year
Expressing that the past year has been challenging
But I'm climbing out of the rubble
Emerging from a difficult situation or experience
These lessons are hard
Referring to the challenging experiences as valuable lessons
Healing changes are subtle
Positive changes in the healing process are gradual
But every day it's
Describing the transformation as a process happening every day
Less like tearing, more like building
Comparing the healing process to construction instead of destruction
Less like captive, more like willing
Transitioning from feeling trapped to being more willing
Less like breakdown, more like surrender
Shifting from a breakdown to a surrendering mindset
Less like haunting, more like remember
Changing from haunting memories to positive remembrance
And I feel you here
Sensing a comforting presence in difficult times
And you're picking up the pieces
Feeling support in the process of picking up the pieces
Forever faithful
Acknowledging the faithfulness that endures forever
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
Facing a challenging situation that seems beyond control
But you are able
Acknowledging the ability to overcome challenges
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Seeing pain and hurt transformed into character
Look less like scars and more like character
Comparing transformed pain to character development
Less like a prison, more like my room
Shifting from feeling imprisoned to having personal space
It's less like a casket, more like a womb
Metaphorically describing difficulties as a place of growth
Less like dying, more like transcending
Transitioning from a sense of dying to transcending
Less like fear, less like an ending
Reducing fear and perceiving challenges as continuous growth
And I feel you here
Sensing a comforting presence in difficult times (repeated)
And you're picking up the pieces
Feeling support in the process of picking up the pieces (repeated)
Forever faithful
Acknowledging the faithfulness that endures forever (repeated)
It seemed out of my hands, a bad situation
Facing a challenging situation that seems beyond control (repeated)
But you are able
Acknowledging the ability to overcome challenges (repeated)
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Seeing pain and hurt transformed into character (repeated)
Look less like scars
Comparing transformed pain to character development (repeated)
Just a little while ago
Reflecting on a recent past where power and hope were elusive
I couldn't feel the power or the hope
Describing a time of emotional numbness and inability to cope
I couldn't cope, I couldn't feel a thing
Expressing a period of emotional detachment and insensitivity
Just a little while back
Looking back at a recent time of desperation and brokenness
I was desperate, broken, laid out, hoping
Expressing a state of vulnerability, hoping for divine intervention
You would come
Anticipating and longing for a divine intervention
And I need you
Expressing a deep need for support and assistance
And I want you here
Expressing a desire for a comforting presence
And I feel you
Sensing the comforting presence of support and reassurance
And I know you're here
Affirming the awareness of the supportive presence
And you're picking up the pieces
Feeling support in the process of picking up the pieces (repeated)
Forever faithful
Acknowledging the faithfulness that endures forever (repeated)
It seemed out of my hands, a bad, bad situation
Facing a challenging situation that seems beyond control (repeated)
But you are able
Acknowledging the ability to overcome challenges (repeated)
And in your hands the pain and hurt
Seeing pain and hurt transformed into character (repeated)
Look less like scars [Repeat x3]
Reiterating the transformation of pain into character
And more like character
Concluding the theme of pain turning into character (repeated)
