Grace
Eddy Kaiser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I spend my time wasting my time
Intolerance is killing me
Can't stop this pain inside of me
Oh how I miss my memories
My rage is lost, my soul ain't free
So I am weak babe, and let it grow
So forget about the shame, because my run is over now
Forget about the grace, forget about the grace
Shine on my life, with broken heroes on my side
If I could shut it out for ever
If I could burn it out, it's over
And see you on the other side
Anxiety, forget my name
Those shades of grey are all the same
It's a fire in a frozen song
It's the hollow where I came from
With the morning comes the rain, and I'll get it over, now
With the morning comes the stream
Grace...
Shine on my life, with broken heroes on my side
If I could shut it out for ever
If I could burn it out, it's over
And see you on the other side
Shine on my life, with broken heroes on my side
Lies, oh lies, consider this my last goodbye
If I could shut it out for ever
If I could burn it out, it's over
And see you on the other side
In "Grace," Eddy Kaiser uses slightly cryptic imagery and language to depict a sense of personal struggle and despair. The opening lines convey a sense of restlessness and ennui, as the singer seems trapped in a situation that is not fulfilling or satisfying. The references to "the hole" and wasting time suggest a sense of longing for something deeper or more meaningful.
The line about intolerance suggests that the singer may be struggling with some kind of external pressure or conflict. The pain mentioned later on could be emotional or physical, but either way it seems to be a source of torment for the singer. The reference to missing memories could suggest that the pain is related to some kind of loss or trauma, and the mention of rage implies that the singer may be struggling with anger or resentment as a result.
The lines "So forget about the shame, because my run is over now / Forget about the grace, forget about the grace" suggest that the singer is resigned to a sense of failure or defeat. The use of the word "grace" in this context could imply that the singer has lost faith in some higher power or moral framework that would have enabled them to overcome their struggles.
The lines "Shine on my life, with broken heroes on my side / If I could shut it out for ever / If I could burn it out, it's over / And see you on the other side" suggest a sense of hope or possibility, however distant. The reference to "broken heroes" implies that the singer is not alone in their struggles, and the lines about shutting things out or burning them out could suggest a desire to overcome or transcend the pain and suffering they are experiencing.
Overall, "Grace" is a song that deals with themes of personal struggle, loss, and the search for meaning and purpose in life. The imagery and language are somewhat opaque, which allows listeners to project their own interpretations and emotions onto the song.

on The waves are coming
Hold on, hold on
Take care of your own
Going nowhere
Making no choice
Ride on, ride on
Through the cloud above
As fast as you can
Craving for denial
Blood in the water
Silence in the air
Takes only a second
Only a second
I have enough
Of these fears of yours
We live like cowards
We live like cowards
I have enough
And I'm tired to run
My hands are empty
My eyes are burning
Fill me with lie
Fill me with your pain
It's only a shadow
Only a shadow
It's only a shadow
Only a shadow
Waves are coming
Waves are coming
Do you feel like you're alone?
Do you feel like you're alone and safe?
Now fell me with your love,
Now feel me with your love again!
Do you have enough?
Do we have enough?
