Baptism
Baptism of Redemption: Finding Home in the Undertow of Life
Lyrics
Did you hurt yourself again
Questioning if the person has harmed themselves again
Did you get too deep again
Inquiring if they have emotionally immersed themselves deeply once more
Open up to the sadness
Suggesting opening up to feelings of sadness
Make friends with the madness
Encouraging acceptance and understanding of madness
Getting caught in the undertow
Referencing being entangled in a difficult situation
If you have no place to go
Asking about the availability of a supportive place
Where are all your friends now
Raising a question about the presence of friends in challenging times
Can you call them
Posing the possibility of seeking help from friends
Home
Reference to a place of comfort or belonging
Water wash you clean
Metaphorically cleansing through water
All the unforeseen
Dealing with unforeseen circumstances
Where will you go tonight
Questioning the destination for the night
And it will it bring you
Exploring the potential impact of the destination
'Til it frees your soul
Suggesting a transformative process until the soul is liberated
Wade in the water
Metaphorically entering a challenging or transformative situation
Let it pull me down
Allowing oneself to be pulled down by challenges
'Til it makes me whole
Continuing the transformative process until completeness is achieved
Drown in the water
Metaphorically drowning in challenges while being authentic
Just be who you are
Encouraging authenticity in facing challenges
'Til it frees your soul
Emphasizing the liberation of the soul through authenticity
Try to hold on
Encouraging resilience and perseverance
You belong
Affirming a sense of belonging
Did you lose yourself again
Questioning if the person has lost their identity again
Swept away in the flood again
Being overwhelmed by challenges or emotions
Swimming in the wrong direction
Metaphorically swimming in a direction that may not be beneficial
Looking for the right connection
Searching for meaningful connections
Getting caught in the undertow
Repetition of being caught in a difficult situation
If you have no place to go
Reiteration of the need for a supportive place
Where are all your friends now
Reiterating the importance of friends in challenging times
Can you call them
Repeating the possibility of seeking comfort from friends
Home
Repeating the concept of home as a place of belonging
You've been baptized
Acknowledging a symbolic baptism or purification
No more surprise
Expressing a lack of surprises in the purification process
Sins of the soul
Reflecting on soulful mistakes or misdeeds
Will this be your
Pondering if the current state will be a lasting sense of belonging
Home
Repeating the concept of home as a destination
'Til it frees your soul
Reiterating the idea of soul liberation through the process
