Agape
Bear´s Den Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Agape
Please don't dissipate
I know that I have got it all wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But baby, I'm clutching at straws
Even though
Your words hurt the most

I still wanna hear them, every day
You say let it go
But I can't let it go
I won't leave, every word that you say

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that I don't wanna know
Who I am without you

Oh agape
Please don't dissipate
Yeah I know I've got it all wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But baby I'm clutching at straws

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that, I don't wanna know
Who I am without you

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that
I know that
Tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that

I don't wanna know who I am without you
I don't wanna know who I am without you

I am trying my hardest but it feels like a hopeless endeavor

Even though your words hurt the most
I would rather hear painful truths than be left in the dark

I still wanna hear them, every day
I need to hear from you constantly to feel secure

You say let it go
You are advising me to move on from something

I cannot mentally or emotionally release something

I don't wanna know
I cannot handle the thought of losing you

I don't wanna know
I am denying the possibility of a future without you

Tell me how long, love, before you go
I need to prepare myself for the inevitable

I know that
I am aware of the situation

I don't wanna know who I am without you
I cannot bear the thought of losing you and having to redefine myself

@christopher snedeker The simple Gospel of Jesus is where I put my faith. Its simply the highest form of selfless love. I know I've made decisions and mistakes contrary to the nature of God and I fully believe Jesus paid the price I otherwise would have to pay for many actions.

There's a lot in the Bible to dig into, that explaines the faith and the blood covenant God made with man through himself to the deepest level, and I know it can seem overwhelming, but at the simplest level the core message of the Bible is that

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
And
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

God loves you friend:) there's also nothing wrong with praying and asking God to help you believe and understand, I did so many times when I was searching and all the details of the faith came together to make perfect sense to help me believe stronger and fully see the truth of the gospel

It hits like a friggin' truck.

A similar (more popular) song is The Funeral by Band of Horses.

I highly recommend the Music documentary ‘Austin To Boston’. They’re one of the bands that are in it. The Staves, Ben Lovett, Ben Howard, Nathaniel Rateliff, Gill Landry and others are in it too 😊

Imagine having this type of love and losing it. It's been over two years. I still mourn today and he is still living. Just living a life without me.@@EagleScoutmano Thankful with prayer the pain is finally easing.

Absolutely beautiful song. Every time I hear it I have to play on a loop 5 or 6 times. Stellar track.

It's amazing how music finds you and not the other way around.
I woke up to this song randomly playing on a creepypasta of all things last night.
It was about 4am and I woke up feeling so happy inside.
It's sad that I found them this late in life. But, on the other hand, this is exactly when I needed to find them.
Bears Den and Winter Aid both!
Instant fan

I heard it playing real low volume in a walmart in Texas over a year ago... couldn't find the song... so frustrating. Finally found it today after hearing it in a boba store.

GOD that is a great song! Reminds me of a girlfriend I had in college. I really loved her. Was head over heals for her, actually. But I also knew it could never last. It was just too intense. It burned too hot to last. It was an exquisitely beautiful sort of torture, though. A lot like this song! (even though, your words hurt the most, I still want to hear them every day).

"But baby, I'm clutching at straws."

I always thought the lyrics went "But baby, I touch and I destroy."
What a revelation!

@zachelam3236

How?? Lol.

@animefreak151000

For the longest time I thought I heard
"But baby im a clutching asteroid "
What a funny thing 🤣 😄

@premsun

What a gem of a song ...

Unfortunately a lot of people associate the word Agape with the love from a god created by man. When in fact, Agape is an unconditional love for anything or anyone without expecting anything in return.

@adswar

I can't get this song out of my damn head!

@Bryan Rosello I wish I knew 🙁

"To believe in an almighty being is hardly to believe in a God at all. To believe in a being who, in his weakness and poverty, if such could be, would die for his creatures, would be to believe in a God indeed.” -George MacDonald

The fact that this video has less than 60k views is a sign of our society’s decline

@Alexzac87296

Original video I believe had over a million but was taken down by YouTube a while back.

@TenSuns1914

Agreed. Meanwhile, endless shorts/tiktoks lead the way. We are very disconnected from the human experience. Insanity.

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Matthew 7:24-27

I've been working out what I believe for a while, the calvinists say the bible says one thing, the catholics another, the lutherans another, and the universalists another, and I don't know who to trust, maybe I'm to indecisive, being neither hot nor cold. But will do my best to seek the truth and whoever seeks finds.
