Made for You
Alex Edmonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've tried seeking what will fade.
Come fill the space within my soul
Shed light into the darkness I've made home.
'Cause I wasn't made to love another,
You're my pursuit I've found my Treasure.
All that I have does not compare to You.
My heart was made for You. Oh oh ohh!
My heart was made for You.
I've searched for something to sustain,
And I contend with temporary gain.
This heart was made for so much more
Through You this emptiness is restored.
'Cause I wasn't made to love another,
You're my pursuit I've found my Treasure.
All that I have does not compare to You.
My heart was made for You. Oh oh ohh!
My heart was made for You. Oh oh ohh!
I have seen and I have tasted
This hunger You've created.
Only You can fill me, only You can fill.
I have seen and I have tasted
This hunger You've created.
Only You can fill me, only You can fill.
'Cause I wasn't made to love another,
You're my pursuit I've found my Treasure.
All that I have does not compare to You.
My heart was made...
'Cause I wasn't made to love another,
You're my pursuit I've found my Treasure.
All that I have does not compare to You.
My heart was made for You. Oh oh ohh!
My heart was made for You. Oh oh ohh!
My heart was made for You.
The song "Made for You" by Alex Edmonds speaks about searching for meaning and fulfillment in life, and finding solace in a personal relationship with God. The lyrics begin with a plea for divine intervention in the singer's life, as they acknowledge their own shortcomings and the psychological void that they feel. The opening lines, "Breathe life into this new day / I've tried seeking what will fade," suggest a sense of despair and frustration - as though the singer has already tried to find happiness in material possessions or other external factors, and has come up short.
However, the following section of lyrics provides a solution to this problem: "I wasn't made to love another / You're my pursuit I've found my Treasure." Here, the singer is articulating their belief that their ultimate purpose in life is to seek a personal relationship with God, rather than worldly pursuits. The repetition of the phrase, "All that I have does not compare to You," further emphasizes this point. In essence, the song suggests that the answer to the singer's sense of emptiness and disconnection from the world lies in a deep, spiritual connection to a higher power, which fills the void in their soul.
Finally, the song concludes with an affirmation of this belief, as the singer declares, "My heart was made for You." The repeated chorus of "Oh oh ohh!" adds a sense of euphoria and catharsis to this declaration, as the singer seems to revel in the sense of connection and fulfillment they have found.
