Lyrics
Every time I turn my back I get the feeling that
Expressing a sense of apprehension or danger when turning away from something.
I'm 'bout to take a shot to the skully with a bat
Imagery of a potential violent encounter, using a bat as a weapon.
I'm out of control, need you to fill my soul up
Feeling overwhelmed and seeking spiritual fulfillment.
And could you shed a little light on the skeletons holed up
Asking for guidance to understand and overcome hidden troubles or guilt.
My past is taking me to task
The consequences of the past actions are catching up, causing introspection.
And I can't guarantee how much longer I'll last
Uncertainty about personal resilience and endurance.
Without You I'm a hopeless wreck
Acknowledging vulnerability and dependency without a spiritual connection.
So I cry out Your name as I drop to the deck
Desperation and reaching out for divine intervention through prayer.
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
Reinforcing the plea not to initiate a discussion or emotional reaction.
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
-Don't get me started, don't even get me started
-Don't get me started, don't even get me started
-I'm Yours
Affirmation of surrendering oneself to a higher power, seeking acceptance.
Take me as I am
-I'm Yours
-So take this space between us and fill it up again
-I'm Yours
-Take me as I am
-I'm Yours
-So won't you take this space between us and fill it up again
-Simple minded little punk
Reflecting on past arrogance or ignorance, realizing personal flaws.
Thought I was the junk
-Nobody ever told me that my doo-doo stunk
-What was I out of my mind
-Or was I just trippin' on an ego
-But You filled up the space and You never let me go
Acknowledging the positive impact of a spiritual presence in life.
Bullseye to the center of my soul
Metaphorically describing the transformative power of divine love and mercy.
One shot but it rocked like a fatal blow
-This love was Your gun, mercy Your shells
-Now I'm a dead man walkin' down a skinny trail
Feeling changed and guided, but recognizing the challenges ahead.
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
Expressing determination to proclaim and defend newfound faith boldly.
Give it all I got
-Shout it from the rooftops
-So you can take your best shot
-I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
-Give it all I got
-Shout it from the rooftops
-Like it or not
-I'm a dead man walkin'
Acceptance of spiritual rebirth, acknowledging a transformed existence.
I'm a dead man walkin' down the boulevard
