Resurrection
Bleu Edmondson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I stared down the barrel of a thousand loaded guns
I caught a midnight ride headed somewhere
To be born again with the rising of the southern sun
I woke to dawn washing over Memphis
I'm seein' through the eyes of a new born child
Well, I remember you always hated Elvis
Resurrection
Resurrection
A cheap perfume and cheaper whiskey
She winked at me when she said, "Last call"
When the parkin' lot was empty
We made love in a bathroom stall
With 'Jesus is Love' written on the wall
Resurrection
Resurrection
You see, I've died so many times since you left me
I stared down the barrel of a thousand loaded guns
I caught a midnight ride headed somewhere
To be born again with the rising of the southern sun
To be born again with the rising of the southern sun
To be born again with the rising of the southern sun
I am your southern sun
I am your southern sun
Resurrection
Resurrection

The song Resurrection by Bleu Edmondson speaks of a man who has been through a lot of pain and heartbreak after his lover left him. The opening lines of the song, "I've died a thousand times since you left me and I stared down the barrel of a thousand loaded guns" portrays the deep emotional pain he has endured. The metaphor of death is effective in depicting how deeply he was affected by the break-up. Despite his many trials, he embarks on a journey to find himself again, to be reborn with the emerging sun, hoping for a new beginning. He wakes up in Memphis, seeing the world through the eyes of a new-born baby with a new perspective.
The second verse talks about how he moves on from his heartbreak with a woman he found at a bar. Through the lyrics "She winked at me when she said, "Last call" and "We made love in a bathroom stall" he expresses his desire to feel something again. Throughout the song, it is clear that he seeks to find new beginnings and rebirth. He wants the kind of rebirth that can only be achieved with the rising of the southern sun which he hopes will be his resurrection, his ultimate rebirth.
