Building 429 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who am I? 23 and it’s all a lie
I thought I knew who I was
I thought that You were here with me
But this darkness is breaking everything in me

And these infinite questions have shattered all my peace
But I won’t question in the dark
What is true, out in the light

I will follow after You through the sun and through the night

'Cause You’ve got me right where You want me
Yeah, You’ve got me right where I need to be
And I’m standing amazed

Where did it go? 33 and it’s gone so fast
I thought I knew who I was
I though that You were leading me
But this depression is crashing in on me

And I’m not half the man I hoped I’d be
But I won’t question in the dark
What is true, out in the light
I will follow after You through the storm and through the fight

'Cause You’ve got me right where You want me
Yeah, You’ve got me right where I need to be
Yeah, and I’m standing amazed

I won’t question in the dark
What is true, out in the light
I will follow after You through the storm and through the fight

'Cause You’ve got me right where You want me
Yeah, You’ve got me right where I need to be
Yeah, You’ve got me right where I want to be

Yeah, You’ve got me right where I need to be
Yeah, and I’m standing amazed

Despite their doubts, the singer resolves not to question in the dark but instead to follow after God through all circumstances, even the storms and the fights. The repetition of the phrase "You've got me right where You want me" emphasizes the trust and surrender the singer has in God's plan for their life, even if it is not what they expected or hoped for. The final line, "and I'm standing amazed," conveys a sense of wonder and gratitude at God's ability to bring purpose and meaning to even the most difficult situations.
