More Than Human
Bride Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Devil in your head
A serpent in your tree
Soaring through the heavens
of your lost soul
You believe every lie
Jump from every shadow
Listen to them you will live
in guilt and shame

We are,
Here to Save your Souls
More than Human

Your crime is never waking
from your mortal sleep
I do not condemn you
Twisted duality
Jesus never condemned
Jesus He forgave
Never took revenge
Christ we will be saved
7
I tried to tell you the truth
To share my heart with you
But it comes by revelation
To those who hunger and thirst
Against hope believed in hope
I am not ashamed
I do not live in guilt
In my world there is no pain

They say I am going to burn But they will never learn
I'll never be like them I'll never be like them




They all dress in white to cover the flesh on their back
I'll never be like them I'll never be like them

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Bride's song 'More Than Human', appear to be a critique of organized religion and the fear-based control mechanisms used to manipulate believers. The song opens with the notion of a 'devil in your head' and a 'serpent in your tree', indicating a sense of danger and deceptions lurking around every corner. The singer urges the listener to not believe every lie, to not jump at every shadow, and not to live in guilt and shame. The message is clear, and the use of the word 'live' is particularly poignant, as it places emphasis on the fact that living in fear is not really living at all.


The refrain 'We are, Here to Save your Souls, More than Human' is a clear nod to the idea that the human spirit and its potential for goodness is something that should be celebrated, rather than squashed by fear and guilt. The singer acknowledges that the listener's 'crime' is a failure to wake up from their 'mortal sleep', a reference to the complacency and mindlessness that comes with accepting dogmatic views and living in fear. Still, the singer does not condemn the listener, instead offering the message of forgiveness that Jesus espoused.


Throughout the song, there is a sense that the singer has discovered some kind of inner strength or revelation that the listener is yet to discover. The reference to the listener 'never learning' and 'dressing in white to cover the flesh on their back' is a clear dig at those who follow organized religion blindly, without ever questioning their beliefs or the motivations of those who seek to control them.
