Renegade
(Hed) P. E. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you help me believe on it?
Can you tell it to forgive my sins?
All my faith is coming down
And all I see on his face Is a frown

Can you make believe again?
That you aren't from the top shelf
Show me how to redeem myself

From all the sins I've committed

It might be selfish from me
To say that I'm okay
When you're supposed to be the only way
But you seem so distant yet so unreal
It's hard to believe

Cause searching for you
Is like a glass of water in the middle of the rain
Aren't you supposed to be one to help with this pain
Or at least help me be what's still in me

Please give me a sign that you
Just exist for me

Overall Meaning

In "Renegade", (Hed) P. E. grapples with issues of faith and redemption. The lyrics are deeply personal, with the singer asking for help in believing again, for forgiveness of sins and for a sign of the existence of a higher power. He feels lost and disconnected, reaching out for guidance and a way to redeem himself from the sins he's committed. The imagery of a glass of water in the middle of the rain adds to the sense of desperation, with the singer feeling like he's searching for something that may be impossible to find.

At the heart of the song is the struggle between doubt and faith. The singer's faith is coming down, and he's searching for proof that his beliefs are still valid. The line "Cause searching for you is like a glass of water in the middle of the rain" captures the sense of hopelessness and despair that can come with questioning one's faith. Despite the doubts and challenges, the lyrics ultimately reflect a desire to believe, to find meaning and purpose in the world.

Overall, "Renegade" is a powerful, emotionally honest song about the complexities of faith and spirituality. It's a tribute to the struggles of those who have questioned their beliefs, and an affirmation of the human need for connection and meaning.

Lyrics:

I'm a renegade
Back out, motherfucker
You better tap out
Boo-hoo, you crying baby
Where you at now?
'Cause I be lookin for you
Me and my people lookin' ready
And we're lookin' for truth
So come and get this
Make it hurt, you know I love it
When you test this
Put me up into a corner
Be a witness
Yeah, this is critical mass
We invite the revolution
We ignite the past
See me
I'm still standing
I might be bleeding
But I'm still breathing
I'll never surrender
'Cause I'm a renegade
What, what you want some
Come and get some
Pussy motherfucker
I got you where you live nigga
Me, you will never control, no
Genocidal maniacal
Devil, the party's over
I'm a renegade
A runaway slave
I've been dreaming about my freedom
On the underground train
It's Armageddon you're getting, just what you wanted
Critical mass, freedom at last, freedom at last
See me
I'm still standing
I might be bleeding
But I'm still breathing
You might hate me
But you can't break me
I might be bleeding
But I'm still breathing
This dog will turn around and bite you
Turn around and (WHAT) bite you
This dog will turn around and bite you
This dog will (WHAT)
(Growl)
How long do you think I'm just gonna let you
Fuck with me and not do something about it?
You think I'm just gonna turn the other cheek?
You push me, so I'll push you right back
You push me, so I'll push you right back
You push me, so I'll push you right back
You push me, so I'll push you right back
See me
I'm still standing
I might be bleeding
But I'm still breathing
You might hate me
But you can't break me
I might be bleeding
But I'm still breathing
I'll never surrender 'cause I'm a renegade

Just came back from their last show of their tour and this was the encore song. Easily one of the top two bands I've ever seen and I've seen tons of bands. He's 59 and his voice is absolutely amazing, his scream was so on point it was unbelievable. HED pe and Rancid were the two best bands I've ever seen. Good pit too.
