Emotionally Illiterate
Journey of Redemption: Embracing Weakness and Finding Purpose
Lyrics
Oh, Please don't beg me to come back again
Requesting not to plead for a return.
'Cause I'm weak and emotionally illiterate
Expressing personal weakness and emotional challenges.
And I've been taking all this time
Acknowledging the passage of time.
And through this time I've realized
Reflecting on personal realizations during the mentioned time.
That someone's worked upon my life
Recognizing external influence on one's life.
And I've been given, I've been given a full free ride
Highlighting the receipt of a significant opportunity without cost.
Oh, A full free ride, woah
Reiterating the notion of a free ride.
I never would even consider this
Expressing disbelief or reluctance toward a certain consideration.
That statues are not the only idols I would worship
Expanding the scope of idolization beyond physical statues.
No, but by what I believe in, it doesn't matter what I'm feeling
Stating that personal beliefs supersede emotional states.
No, this truth is where I'm standing
Affirming a commitment to a specific truth.
And not on something I've made up to believe in
Rejecting reliance on self-made beliefs.
It took You knocking down the front door
Describing a transformative event where the speaker's metaphorical front door is knocked down.
Where I was laying dead on a cold floor
Depicting a low point in the speaker's life.
Now You've got me up and now I'm wanting more, ah
Expressing newfound desire and motivation after the transformative event.
I hope for you to know what it feels like
Expressing a wish for someone to understand a specific feeling.
To let go of everything and finally rest right
Describing the desire to release burdens and find peace.
So I've been straying from the wreckage that I've brought upon myself
Acknowledging past mistakes and the aftermath.
And in this weakness I'm afraid of letting go, if nothing else
Expressing fear of letting go despite weakness.
It took You knocking down the front door
Repetition of the transformative event, reinforcing its impact.
Where I was laying dead on a cold floor
Reiteration of a low point in the speaker's life.
Now You've got me up and now I'm wanting more, ah
Re-emphasizing the speaker's newfound motivation.
It took You knocking down the front door
Repetition of the transformative event for emphasis.
Where I was laying dead on a cold floor
Reiteration of the speaker's low point.
Now You've got me up and now I'm wanting more, ah
Re-emphasizing the speaker's newfound desire for more.
