Deadweight
Breaking Chains of Pride: Wolves at the Gate's Struggle for Freedom
Lyrics
Don't stop bleeding out the pride in me
Expresses a desire not to cease the process of letting go of pride.
Don't stop till my eyes will see it
The plea to continue until personal insight or understanding is achieved.
These hands are calloused throwing stone after stone
Hands that are hardened from repetitive actions, possibly negative ones.
The one in my chest was the only one I left alone
The heart, despite the calloused actions, still retains a vulnerable aspect.
I bound the reach of Your mercy in my heart putting a price upon the grace that's fully free
An admission of restricting the boundless mercy with self-imposed limitations and attaching value to freely given grace.
I still choke upon the words I'd spoken
Struggling with the consequences of spoken words.
I can feel the way they cut me open
The impact of spoken words is felt deeply, causing emotional wounds.
Don't stop bleeding out the pride in me
Repetition of the plea to continue the process of letting go of pride.
Oh how I desperately need it
An intense longing for the ongoing transformation.
Fix my eyes on love that's fully free
Focusing on love that is unconditionally free.
Don't stop till my eyes will see it
A continuation of the plea for personal revelation.
This heart is heavy sinking further below
Describing a heavy heart sinking deeper, emphasizing a state of emotional distress.
There isn't a way out unless You take my hand
Recognition that help is needed to find a way out of emotional turmoil.
Still sinking further below Unless You shed this deadweight
Emphasizing the need for intervention to overcome burdensome emotional weight.
DEADWEIGHT
Reiteration of the burdensome nature of the emotional weight - "DEADWEIGHT."
Putting a price upon the grace that's fully free
Repeating the theme of placing value on grace that should be freely accepted.
I still choke upon the words I'd spoken
Continued struggle with the consequences of spoken words.
I can feel the way they cut me open
Physical and emotional impact of spoken words being acknowledged.
Don't stop bleeding out the pride in me
Repetition of the plea to continue letting go of pride.
Oh how I desperately need it
Reiteration of the intense need for the transformative process.
Fix my eyes on love that's fully free
Redirecting focus towards love that is both pure and free.
Don't stop till my eyes will see it
Continuation of the plea for personal revelation and understanding.
This heart is heavy sinking further below
Reiteration of the heavy heart sinking, emphasizing the need for intervention.
There isn't a way out unless You crush this stone
Acknowledging the need for external assistance to overcome a metaphorical stone, representing a hindrance.
Still sinking further below
Stating the ongoing descent unless the burden is removed.
Unless You shed this deadweight
Highlighting the necessity of shedding the burdensome deadweight.
DEADWEIGHT
Reiteration of the burdensome nature of the emotional weight - "DEADWEIGHT."
Putting a price upon the grace that's fully free
Repeating the theme of placing value on grace that should be freely accepted.
Don't stop bleeding out the pride in me
Repetition of the plea to continue letting go of pride.
Oh how I desperately need it
Intense reaffirmation of the desperate need for transformation.
Fix my eyes on love that's pure and free
Shifting focus towards love that is both pure and free.
Don't stop till my eyes will see it
Repetition of the plea for personal revelation and understanding.
Don't stop! Until my eyes will see it
A resolute plea to persist until personal understanding is achieved.
Don't stop! Until I live and breathe it
An emphatic call to continue the transformative process until it becomes an integral part of life.
