Augustine
Discover the Quest for Redemption in "Augustine" by Vienna Teng
Lyrics
Oh my god
Expressing shock or realization.
What have I done
Regret or guilt for actions taken.
Chasing some mirage in my Mojave sun
Pursuing an elusive goal in the harsh desert.
Don't say every chance is lost,
Discouraging the idea that all opportunities are gone.
Please don't say anything at all
Requesting silence instead of negative statements.
In sand and thorns
Describing a difficult journey through challenging circumstances.
I'm walking forth
Moving forward vulnerably, reminiscent of birth.
Bare and blinking as the day that I was born
Emphasizing vulnerability and exposure.
Bells in spires of China white
Symbolic bells in white spires, possibly representing purity.
Ring for an Augustine tonight
Calling for a spiritual transformation or rebirth.
Oh now, I'm breaking down
Expressing a moment of emotional collapse or vulnerability.
Oh let me be
Pleading for understanding and acceptance.
Let me be your Augustine
Asking to be a source of inspiration or guidance.
Lead me now
Requesting guidance or direction.
Acknowledging the dual nature of faith.
Faith is both the prison and the open hand
Describing faith as both restrictive and liberating.
Bells on low on high
Bells representing spiritual aspects at different levels.
Will you ring for Augustine tonight
Asking for a symbolic bell ringing for personal transformation.
Oh now I'm breaking down,
Reiteration of emotional breakdown, possibly deeper now.
Every illusion in between
Acknowledging the shattering of illusions.
All the lies that I have seen
Reflecting on the deceptions witnessed.
Oh let me be your Augustine
Pleading once again to be a source of inspiration or guidance.
