To Mend the Wound of a Plagued Heart
As Hope Dies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That has been shoved in my back
At a time that I was so fragile
You Offered Nothing
But the cold of your shoulder
And when I needed
A hand to hold
You instead offered this blade
With its effect
But your intentions and hopes
Will fall to deaf ears
This heart will mend
To find strength and the beauty
Amidst this tragedy
Will be found to mend this wound
That have plagued my heart
To be born again
And to find hope in life
Remove this blade
That has been shoved in my back
At a time that I was so fragile
You offered nothing
But the cold of your shoulder
I stand alone but I am still standing
And I will not fall
To become something less
To Mend The Wound is a powerful song that speaks to the pain of betrayal and the struggle to heal and find hope after being hurt. The lyrics describe the experience of having a metaphorical knife shoved in one's back at a vulnerable time, when one is most in need of support and care. The person who is supposed to be offering comfort instead offers only coldness and further hurt. The wounds caused by this betrayal are deep and long-lasting, but the singer of the song is determined to rise above it and find a way to heal and move forward.
The lyrics also speak to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and find strength and beauty in the midst of tragedy. The singer acknowledges the pain caused by the betrayal, but refuses to let it define them or dictate their future. Instead, they vow to find the courage and resilience to mend their wounded heart and "be born again," finding hope and joy in life once more.
Overall, To Mend The Wound is a poignant and inspiring anthem for anyone who has experienced betrayal or heartbreak, and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always the possibility of healing and finding hope.

Remove this blade
I want you to take back what you have done to me
That has been shoved in my back
The harm you caused me caused immense pain
At a time that I was so fragile
I was vulnerable and needed your support
You offered nothing
You didn't provide any help or comfort
But the cold of your shoulder
Instead, you ignored me and pushed me away
And when I needed
During the difficult times when I was struggling
A hand to hold
Someone to rely on for support
You instead offered this blade
You hurt me further with your actions
And tore me forever
You destroyed my trust and caused permanent damage
With its effect
The consequences of your actions still affect me today
But your intentions and hopes
Your thoughts and feelings about the situation
Will fall to deaf ears
I won't listen to your excuses or justifications
This heart will mend
Although damaged, I will heal and recover
To find strength and the beauty
Through the struggle, I will discover my inner strength and positivity
Amidst this tragedy
Despite the pain and heartbreak I experienced
Will be found to mend this wound
There is a way to heal and recover from this hurt
That has plagued my heart
The emotional trauma I experienced caused long-lasting damage
To be born again
I will start over and rebuild my life
And to find hope in life
I will be optimistic and positive about my future
Remove this blade
I still need you to take responsibility for your actions and help me heal
That has been shoved in my back
Your betrayal and hurt still haunt me
At a time that I was so fragile
I was weak and needed your support, but you let me down
You offered nothing
Your lack of help and support caused me additional pain
But the cold of your shoulder
Your neglect caused me to feel isolated and alone
I stand alone but I am still standing
I am strong and resilient despite the hardships
And I will not fall
I won't let my pain and hurt consume me
To become something less
I will continue to grow and improve, even in the face of adversity
