Deliverance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Preparing him for the grave
There is nothing more to living
Or so I thought I heard them say
Existence carnal, I am but a man
Drifting in a soul filled ocean
Fallibility, a probability
(WRITE YOUR WORD - ON MY HEART)
Time after time, we make the same
Line after line, when will we learn
A cosmic commotion
Psychic friends on TV
Call, inquire about your future
Falsified guarantee
Man's deception
Satan's deceit in a world
Full of washed convictions
An emptiness in the mind of
The viewer of the screen
To bleive in such idiocy
To live and learn the nature of man
No on escapes this lesson
Father please forgive me for
I know well what I do
Just surround me with your love
And help me LEARN
In "Learn", Deliverance touches on the idea that life is a boot camp preparing us for death, implying that our existence is fleeting and ultimately meaningless. The song begins with the lyrics, "A man's life, a boot camp, preparing him for the grave." The singer seems to have been influenced by some others who have proclaimed that there is nothing more to life or living. The song, however, goes on to suggest that there is more to living and that we should never stop seeking to learn and better ourselves.
The lyrics also touch on the notion of human fallibility, suggesting that being human takes a toll on us. In the line "Drifting in a soul filled ocean," we can interpret the ocean as a metaphor for the vastness of human experience and the human soul. The song also questions the validity of certain beliefs and practices, such as those of "psychic friends on TV" and "falsified guarantee[s]". The perception of emptiness and hollowness of such views is emphasized in the line "An emptiness in the mind of the viewer of the screen". Overall, the song encourages the listener to embrace life's lessons, learn from them and seek forgiveness.
Line by Line Meaning
A man's life, a boot camp
Life is like a training camp to prepare a man for death
Preparing him for the grave
Life is meant to prepare a man for his inevitable death
There is nothing more to living
People say there is nothing more to life
Or so I thought I heard them say
The artist used to believe that statement
Existence carnal, I am but a man
I am only human, with physical desires and needs
Drifting in a soul filled ocean
Living is like floating in a vast ocean of emotions and experiences
Fallibility, a probability
Mistakes are likely to happen because humans are not perfect
Humanness takes its toll on me
Being human can be exhausting and difficult
(WRITE YOUR WORD - ON MY HEART)
Asking for a special word to be written on the artist's heart
Time after time, we make the same
We repeat our mistakes over and over again
Line after line, when will we learn
Despite our repeated mistakes, we don't seem to learn
A cosmic commotion
Chaos in the universe
Psychic friends on TV
Fake psychics appearing on television
Call, inquire about your future
They ask people to call in and ask about their future
Falsified guarantee
Their guarantee of a psychic reading is not true
Man's deception
People lie and deceive others
Satan's deceit in a world
The devil's lies in our world
Full of washed convictions
People follow someone else's beliefs instead of their own
An emptiness in the mind of
There is a lack of meaning in the minds of
The viewer of the screen
The person watching television
To believe in such idiocy
It is foolish to believe in fake psychics or other scams
To live and learn the nature of man
We must live life and experience the good and bad of being human to understand our nature
No on escapes this lesson
Everyone learns this lesson
Father please forgive me for
Asking God for forgiveness
I know well what I do
The singer acknowledges their mistakes
Just surround me with your love
The singer asks to be surrounded by God's love
And help me LEARN
The singer wants to learn from their mistakes and become a better person
