Lyrics
Well I'm afraid I'm not supposed to be like this
Expressing fear or unease about not conforming to societal expectations or norms.
Like I was born in a land where no serpent hissed
Comparing oneself to a place untainted by negativity, suggesting a desire for purity.
And I have waited a long time for Your kiss
Longing for a divine connection or affirmation, metaphorically represented by a kiss.
Well I have felt that they'd all take offense at me
Fearing judgment from others, leading to the construction of emotional barriers.
And so a fence I have built to protect the seed
Building emotional defenses, possibly isolating oneself to protect vulnerability.
But all the bricks will secure its mortality
Recognizing that protective measures may not ensure lasting security or immortality.
I have been seated in circles and stood in disgrace
Experiencing social rejection and humiliation, questioning one's worth and purpose.
At the noted intention to be in place
Noting the intention to conform to societal expectations and norms.
And I have seen that one man saved the human race
Referencing a figure (possibly religious) who saved humanity at great personal cost.
But it took His life and it took His faith
Highlighting the sacrifice required for salvation, both in life and faith.
I have risen from ashes and fed on flames
Symbolizing personal growth and renewal through challenges and hardships.
But even so I still fear I have played a game
Expressing lingering self-doubt and a fear of the consequences of life choices.
And it seems no one else is as sick and depraved
Suggesting a sense of isolation or alienation due to perceived moral shortcomings.
I have heard that I'm not supposed to be this way
Acknowledging societal expectations and the struggle to conform to them.
And still the stones that are lifted fall down to stay
Despite efforts, facing persistent challenges or criticisms from others.
But I keep doubting and think one will strike my face
Continuing to doubt oneself and anticipating negative consequences.
He's been promising me something more than pain
Expecting a promise of something more meaningful, balanced against the cost of grace.
Where the cost is grace and my loss is gain
Highlighting a choice between enduring pain with grace or experiencing gain through loss.
And I have chosen because there is no other way
Choosing a path based on the absence of alternatives, emphasizing the necessity of the chosen way.
I either wallow in shame
Facing a dichotomy between wallowing in shame or embracing humility for salvation.
Or humble myself and be saved
Recognizing the need for humility as a means of salvation.
And be saved
Reiterating the theme of salvation through humility.
