12
Alexi Murdoch/Alexi Murdoch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So today I wrote a song for you
'Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say there's something wrong

So I'm trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I don't know even where to start

Maybe that's a start
'Cause you know its a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain





In the way, in the way you say your name
And I see you

Overall Meaning

hiding your face in shame
But I know that you're made, you're made in the image of God himself


The song "12" by Alexi Murdoch is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to someone who may be going through a difficult time. In the first verse, Murdoch acknowledges the struggles that come with everyday life and how tedious it can be, but he also recognizes the importance of being there for someone during these times. He wants to offer comfort and love, but he admits that it isn't always easy. He recognizes that he himself might not be perfect, but he's willing to try and make things right regardless.


The chorus continues this idea of trying to make things better, even when it seems hard or confusing. Murdoch recognizes that life can feel like a game, one that we're not always winning. He acknowledges that sometimes we try to hide from our pain, whether that be through distractions or other means. But he also sees the person for who they truly are, someone made in the image of God. Murdoch wants to offer hope and reassurance, letting them know that they're not alone.

I used to listen to this song years ago when I was going through some horrible personal stuff. I'd sit in my room, have this playing on repeat on my CD player and listen to it until late in the night/early in the morning. I'd have school the next day and didn't even care. I'd just sit there and cry
It's really hard to listen to now because it brings up a lot of those feelings and thoughts that I used to have. But it's SUCH an amazing, beautiful song and I really do love it ❤️
Thanks so much Alexi. Your music has changed my life so much over the years and that's something that some people in my life couldn't do❤️
