No Apology
Believer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From what which I believe
I owe no man an explanation
Expect no apology
Logic defends age old prophecies
Christ's life, death and resurrection
Proof of absolute deity
Not one regret
Impenitent
No more will I regress backward
From that which I believe
I owe no man an explanation
Expect no apology
Not one regret
Impenitent
Believer's song No Apology is a powerful statement of faith and conviction. The lyrics assert that the singer will not be held back from their beliefs or feel the need to apologize for them. The lines "No more will I regress backward, From that which I believe" show a resolve to move forward and not be deterred, even in the face of opposition. The singer declares that they owe no one an explanation, which suggests a deep confidence in their beliefs and a sense of autonomy.
The second verse of the song confirms the singer's faith in Christ, proclaiming that "Christ's life, death and resurrection" serve as evidence of his "absolute deity". The use of the word "logic" in this verse suggests a rational, reasoned acceptance of beliefs that may be subject to debate or skepticism. The repetition of the refrain "Expect no apology" reasserts the singer's determination to live without regret or apology.
Overall, the message of the song is one of strength and conviction, urging the listener to stand firm in their beliefs and not let others discourage or dishearten them.
