Preacher
Struggling with Shadows: Young Decay's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
It's been a while since the rain come
Expressing a period of emotional drought or hardship.
To wash away the thought of you
Desiring a cleansing or renewal from thoughts of a specific person.
Been on my knees for quite some time now
Symbolic gesture of supplication or struggle.
But see no light shining
Facing challenges without seeing a positive outcome.
Through
Continuing to endure difficulties without relief.
Sorry mama
Apologizing to a maternal figure; acknowledging a lack of religious authority.
I'm no preacher
Rejecting the role of a preacher, implying moral imperfections.
I'm a stray dog something keeps pulling me deeper
Feeling like an aimless wanderer drawn towards deeper struggles.
Pulling me deeper
Reiterating the inner pull towards profound challenges.
Sorry father
Seeking forgiveness for transgressions.
For I have sinned
Expressing fear of a pervasive darkness overcoming.
'Fraid this darkness looming over it will win
Anticipating defeat in the face of looming darkness.
It will win
Acknowledging the inevitability of darkness prevailing.
I won't beg for your forgiveness
Refusing to plead for forgiveness, claiming innocence.
Did nothing wrong you see
Defiantly asserting innocence despite accusations.
Devil don't you dare forget this
Challenging the devil's memory of innocence.
You're the one who owes
Asserting a perceived debt owed by the devil.
Me
Claiming entitlement or retribution from the devil.
Sorry mama
Repeating the apology to the maternal figure.
I'm no preacher
Reiterating the rejection of the preacher role.
I'm a stray dog something keeps pulling me deeper
Emphasizing the persistent pull towards deeper struggles.
Pulling me deeper
Reiterating the inner pull towards profound challenges.
Sorry father
Repeating the plea for forgiveness from transgressions.
For I have sinned
Reiterating the fear of darkness prevailing.
'Fraid this darkness looming over it will win
Expressing concern about the imminent triumph of darkness.
It will win
Acknowledging the inevitability of darkness prevailing.
Devil gonna owe me
Anticipating a debt to be owed by the devil.
Devil gonna owe me
Reiterating the expectation of a debt from the devil.
Devil gonna set me free
Anticipating liberation or redemption from the devil.
Devil gonna owe me
Reiterating the expectation of a debt from the devil.
Devil gonna owe me
Reiterating the expectation of liberation or redemption from the devil.
Devil gonna set me free
Reiterating the expectation of a debt from the devil.
Sorry mama
Repeating the apology to the maternal figure.
I'm no preacher
Reiterating the rejection of the preacher role.
I'm a stray dog something keeps pulling me deeper
Emphasizing the persistent pull towards deeper struggles.
Pulling me deeper
Reiterating the inner pull towards profound challenges.
Sorry father
Repeating the plea for forgiveness from transgressions.
For I have sinned
Reiterating the fear of darkness prevailing.
'Fraid this darkness looming over it will win
