Why?
A.COE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
The song, "Why?" by A.COE is a reflective and introspective ballad where the singer questions their life and their relationship with God. The opening lines, "Why me Lord, what have I ever done, To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known" suggest that the singer is bewildered by the good things that have happened to them, and is wondering what they have done to deserve them. In the next line, the singer implores, "Tell me Lord, what did I ever do, That was worth loving you, Or the kindness you've shown" and acknowledges that they don't feel like they've given enough to receive these blessings.
The second verse of the song has a confessional tone. The singer laments, "Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so, Help me Jesus I know what I am, Now that I know that I've need you so, Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand." Here, the singer admits to wasting the gifts and blessings that they were given, and acknowledges their need for God in their life. The third verse suggests that the singer is trying to make amends, "Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way, I can try to repay, All I've taken from you, Maybe Lord, I can show someone else, What I've been through myself, On my way back to you." The singer is asking for guidance to find a way to make up for their past failings, and to help others going through similar experiences.
Overall, "Why?" is a soulful and contemplative song that invites reflection on our own lives and our relationship with a higher power. It acknowledges the difficulty of human life and the need for guidance and mercy.
