Beloved (Alt) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold no longer
One day my fight will be over, but for now I'm looking straight ahead
And its all for you
So I'll let you rise, I'll let you rise in these bones
Our eyes have grown dim finding no rest in ourselves
Renew us o' lord, light the fire within
Burn, renew this heart
Burn the fire within
Burn rise up from these ashes
Burn, and cleanse these bones
Burn, renew my heart cause I'll praise you
Burn until the day that you will return
Nothing more than to see through your eyes
I want nothing else but to see through your eyes
Burn in my heart
Take my heart, set me free, light my fire
The lyrics of Beloved's song 'Going Through the Motions' express the desire for spiritual renewal and reconnection with God. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the power that only God holds to ignite a fire within their heart and set them ablaze. The song is an acknowledgement of human frailty, our inability to find rest within ourselves, and the need for a higher power to renew us. The lyrics speak of the hope and faith we have in God that one day, our struggles will be over, and our eyes will open to a new day. But for now, we must keep looking straight ahead, keeping our faith strong to keep moving forward.
The second half of the song is a prayer to God asking for a renewal of their spirit, to cleanse their bones, and to light a fire within them. The song's clearest message is that there is nothing more important than God's will and seeing the world through His eyes. Beloved's desire to let God burn and rise from the ashes reflect their understanding of the cycle of spiritual life and the faith that God can create a new start no matter how burned down we are. In essence, 'Going Through the Motions' is an introspective song that speaks to the human condition of despair, hope, and spiritual rejuvenation.
