Desperate Shell
Choosing Life: A Journey from Darkness to Redemption
Lyrics
My mind breaks at this crossroad
Expressing mental distress and uncertainty at a crucial decision point.
Which path is right, I may never know
Reflecting the difficulty of determining the correct path in life.
My body shakes as the time goes
Physical and emotional response to the passing of time, suggesting anxiety.
On and on and on and on
Emphasizing the continuous nature of the struggles faced.
Anxiety fills my veins
Describing the feeling of anxiety coursing through the speaker's veins.
My lips move but no words escape
Inability to communicate verbally despite the internal turmoil.
Demons flock as I suffocate
Presence of internal struggles or negative influences that make the speaker feel choked.
Demons flock as I suffocate
Repetition of the previous line, emphasizing the suffocating impact of internal demons.
They scream, choose death
External pressures urging the choice of death, but the speaker desires a chance at life.
But I want a second chance
The speaker wants an opportunity to change their life despite external influences.
So I choose life, life, life
Choosing life over death in the face of adversity.
There's always a fight that's deep within us
Highlighting an internal struggle present within every individual.
It can overtake our lives
Acknowledging the potential of this internal struggle to dominate one's life.
Shine your light to this present darkness
Encouraging the use of faith (light) to combat darkness.
Your power comes from the blood of Christ
Referring to the redemptive power of Christ's blood as a source of strength.
Break away from the old me
Expressing a desire to break free from the speaker's old self.
I beg God to set me free
Pleading with God for liberation.
Form me to the one that I should be
Desiring transformation into the person they are meant to be.
God set me free
Repetition of the plea for divine freedom.
But it's easier said than done
Acknowledging the difficulty of implementing desired changes.
I always see the devil I had become
Continuously confronting the negative aspects of the speaker's past.
Why am I always on the run
Raising the question of why the speaker is always trying to escape.
Son of darkness to son of God
Transformation from a dark existence to a follower of God.
They scream, choose death
External pressures persisting, but the speaker remains focused on a second chance at life.
But I want a second chance
Reiterating the desire for a new opportunity despite external influences.
So I choose life, life, life
Choosing life as a response to external calls for death.
There's always a fight that's deep within us
Revisiting the internal struggle inherent in human nature.
It can overtake our lives
Warning about the potential dominance of this internal struggle over one's life.
Shine your light to this present darkness
Encouraging the use of faith to combat present darkness.
Your power comes from the blood of Christ
Reiterating the strength derived from the redemptive power of Christ's blood.
Even though I walk
Referencing a challenging phase in life, with an assurance of divine protection.
Through the valley of the shadow of death
Expressing determination not to be fearful even in the face of death.
I will fear no evil
Repetition of the resolve to fear no evil.
Fear no evil
Emphasizing courage in the presence of adversity.
For you are with me
Repetition for emphasis that the divine presence is constant and reassuring.
For you are with me
-For you are with me
-For you are with me
-There's always a fight that's deep within us
Recurrence of the internal struggle within human nature.
It can overtake our lives
Warning about the potential domination of this internal struggle over one's life.
Shine your light to this present darkness
Encouraging the use of faith to combat present darkness.
Your power comes from the blood of Christ
Reiterating the strength derived from the redemptive power of Christ's blood.
God you are always with me
Affirming the constant presence of God in the speaker's life.
