Miracle
Earthist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do you fear when your lips are dry
and you don't know where to hide?
And there's no eden, nobody will forgive you
some call it fever, some say it's a way to see the truth
Do you believe in a fate that lies
in an apple coming from the sky?
Nobody knows the reason why it fell down
You think it's groovy and worship the ground

(I don't feel) you believe in something you don't see
(I don't feel) they may tell you planet earth is round
(I don't feel) we just swear and lie hoping to be wise for a day
Tell me all is fine
(Can you hear) sinners' souls are begging for mercy
(Can you hear) all this noise is gonna tear me down
(Can you hear) we just live and die casting wrong and right on the way
Hell, i'm losing my time

Oh sister, you did not wait three days
To see me moving stones away
Do you still pray? Do you still pray now?
My castle is a glass with no base
but it doesn't seem to crash on me
Is this your faith?
You don't hold it anymore

(I don't feel) you believe in something you don't see
(I don't feel) they may tell you planet earth is round
(I don't feel) we just swear and lie hoping to be wise for a day
Tell me all is fine
(Can you hear) sinners' souls are begging for mercy
(Can you hear) all this noise is gonna tear me down
(Can you hear) we just live and die casting wrong and right on the way

Just tell me to be brave and proud

Baby you can face this or you can blame yourself
You should trust me
I swear I won't stop the night
You swear you'll stay by my side

Baby you can face this or you can blame yourself
You should trust me
I swear I won't stop the night
You swear you'll stay by my side

My castle is a glass with no base
but it doesn't seem to crash on me




This is your faith, never mind
It doesn't kill me

Overall Meaning

The song "Miracle" by Earthist explores themes of fear, faith, and truths that are hard to swallow. The lyrics start off by asking what someone fears when they are in a vulnerable state and feel like they have nowhere to hide. The reference to "no eden" and "nobody will forgive you" suggests a feeling of hopelessness or perhaps guilt. The next line of the verse mentions an apple falling from the sky and the idea of fate. This could be a reference to the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible, where eating the apple from the Tree of Knowledge led to their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The song then shifts to talking about believing in something that you can't see or prove, like the shape of the planet. People may swear and lie to feel wise for a day, but the truth is hard to come by. The chorus references sinners' souls begging for mercy and the constant noise that surrounds us as we live and die. The last verse brings in the idea of faith again, questioning whether it's still present and mentioning a castle made of glass with no base. The song ends on a slightly hopeful note with the lyric "It doesn't kill me," suggesting that there is still resilience despite the struggles and uncertainties of life.


Overall, "Miracle" by Earthist is a thought-provoking and introspective song that explores some of the biggest questions and challenges we face as humans. It touches on themes of fear, faith, truth, and hope, with a slightly existential and melancholic undertone.
