Good
Bleach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What goes around comes around
And I can't breathe
What holds me up is what holds me down
And I am more unstable than I seem

There's not much there
My heart is bare
Chorus:

But I believe You've given me more

Than I could know
And I know this
You are good
I've fought the fight against myself
And I have lost the fight again
My body's broke from falling down
This time I'll win
Just give me one more chance
My heart is bare

My eyes are weak I can only see
But I know that you're e there

A glimmer of Your gold
But it's enough to know
You are good
And through it all You've given me

Oh how I know
A peace that overflows
That You are good
So good to me





You're good

Overall Meaning

The song Good by Bleach starts with the lines “What goes around comes around, and I can't breathe.” The singer conveys a feeling of being emotionally and mentally exhausted, and he credits his persistence to something that is both holding him up and pushing him down - this could be interpreted as faith in something higher or more powerful than himself. The chorus, which repeats multiple times throughout the song, says “But I believe You've given me more Than I could know/And I know this/You are good”. Here, the singer expresses his trust in a higher power, and believes that he has been given more than what he deserves.


The second verse begins with the lines “I've fought the fight against myself/And I have lost the fight again/My body's broke from falling down/This time I'll win/Just give me one more chance.” The singer presents himself as someone who has battled with his own personal demons for a long time, and despite the numerous times he has fallen down, he isn't giving up yet. The final verse has the singer acknowledging the limitations of his eyesight in seeing anything beyond his immediate environment. However, he expresses his belief that something bigger than himself exists, and it is enough for him to trust in that knowledge. The song ends on a positive note, with the affirmation that the higher power is good and has blessed him with peace.


Line by Line Meaning

What goes around comes around
The negative things I do will eventually catch up to me


And I can't breathe
I feel suffocated and overwhelmed by my problems


What holds me up is what holds me down
The same things that keep me going are also weighing me down


And I am more unstable than I seem
I may appear fine on the surface, but inside I am struggling and unstable


There's not much there
I feel empty and lacking in many aspects of my life


My heart is bare
I am vulnerable and exposed emotionally


Chorus:
The following lines are the refrain of the song


But I believe You've given me more
I have faith that I have been given more blessings than I realize


Than I could know
I may not be aware of all the good things in my life


And I know this
I am certain of this


You are good
God is kind and benevolent


I've fought the fight against myself
I have struggled with my own inner demons


And I have lost the fight again
I have failed to overcome my own weaknesses


My body's broke from falling down
I am physically and emotionally exhausted from my struggles


This time I'll win
I am determined to succeed this time


Just give me one more chance
I am asking for another opportunity to make things right


My heart is bare
I am still very vulnerable emotionally


My eyes are weak I can only see
I am blinded by my problems and can only see what's in front of me


But I know that you're there
I have faith that God is present even though I may not see Him


A glimmer of Your gold
Even a small sign of God's goodness is enough to give me hope


But it's enough to know
I may not have everything figured out, but knowing God is good is enough for me


You are good
God is kind and benevolent


And through it all You've given me
Despite my struggles, God has still given me blessings


Oh how I know
I am certain of this


A peace that overflows
I have an abundance of peace in my life through God

Again, reaffirming that God is kind and benevolent
