Empyr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the stranger lost in your deepest night
Breathe, Breathe, till your lungs give out
You're not guilty of the love you had
Red tears, cold blue skin
Now you know how it feels to lose everything
Please, please sit here for a while
Do you realize you're the next in line
Now you know how it kills when you start to sink
Breathe, Breathe till the end of time
You can't stop what's coming, what' in you now
Please, Please sit here for a while
Do you realize you're the next in line
Breathe, Breathe till your lungs give out
You're not guilty of the love you had
It's gonna rain tonight, the kids go wild
You can hear it for miles, do you believe in me now
You've been hurt a hundred times, but here we are
Whose side are you on, can you believe in me now
I am the one who will break your religion down
I will pray for you cause god is my lover now
Red tears, cold blue skin
Now you know how it feels to lose everything
Breathe, Breathe till the end of time
You can't stop what's coming, what's in you now
It's gonna rain tonight, the kids go wild
You can hear it for miles, do you believe in me now
You've been hurt a hundred times, but there we are
Whose side are you on, can you believe in me now
I am the one who will break your religion down
I will pray for you cause god is my lover now
You realize what's coming, what's growing inside.
The lyrics to Empyr's song "God Is My Lover" are open to interpretation, but one possible explanation is that it is about a person who has lost everything and is on the brink of despair. The song speaks to the idea of surrendering to a higher power, represented by the phrase "god is my lover now." This could refer to the idea that the singer has found comfort and solace in a spiritual connection, rather than relying solely on physical relationships.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with intense emotions, symbolized by the "red tears" and "cold blue skin" mentioned in the song. They may be feeling guilty and ashamed for having loved someone who is no longer in their life, and feel like they are paying the price for their emotional vulnerability. However, the song also suggests that it is possible to find peace and acceptance, even in the face of pain and loss.
The repeated references to breathing in the song could represent the idea of finding inner calm and stillness by focusing on one's breath. The lyrics also speak to the power of belief and faith, and the importance of having something to hold onto when faced with difficult situations.
