The World is Saved
Embracing Life's Redemption: The World is Saved by Stina Nordenstam
Lyrics
I blinked again and
I experienced a moment of disbelief or surprise.
I wasn't dead
I realized I was not dead.
I was a favorite child in it's bed
I felt like a cherished child in the embrace of something.
You had to look
One had to examine closely, both praising and alarmed.
In praise and alarm
I possess nothing except my own arms.
Yet I hold nothing
I don't hold anything tangible in my arms.
In my arms but my arms
(Empty line - no specific meaning provided.)
Pouring through me
A proclamation that the world is saved.
The world is saved
Repetition emphasizing the salvation of the world.
The world is saved
An assertion to take the speaker's word for the world being saved.
Take it from me
Repetition emphasizing the salvation of the world.
The world is saved
Reiteration of the proclamation that the world is saved.
The world is saved
Repetition emphasizing the salvation of the world.
I clashed with silence
A confrontation with silence or inner turmoil.
I stumbled and fell
The speaker faced difficulties and stumbled in life.
I blinked again, sure
A repeated realization that the speaker is not in hell.
This wasn't hell?
A question, expressing doubt about the situation.
You had to look
One had to observe with admiration and surprise.
In awe and surprise
The speaker found nothing significant in life.
Yet I'd found nothing
(Empty line - no specific meaning provided.)
To life but my life
The speaker's life is the only meaningful thing.
Pouring through me
A metaphorical description of something flowing through the speaker.
The world is saved
A proclamation that the world is saved.
The world is saved
Repetition emphasizing the salvation of the world.
Take it from me
An assertion to take the speaker's word for the world being saved.
The world is saved
Repetition emphasizing the salvation of the world.
The world is saved
Reiteration of the proclamation that the world is saved.
