For All Eternity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My pain, it still remains.
Despite all the things I have seen,and all i've come to be.
I still struggle, my life is on the line.
So now I walk in this shadow, a few steps from the light.
I am so close to the decision that will change my life.
On the edge, I see my future out in front of me.
The only thing in my way is all I used to be.
I’m done with you.
Take, take it all upon yourself.
To the man I was, to the man ive been, you are dead to me,
and I am dead to you.
So now I walk in freedom, and I see where i’ve been. This heart, in my chest has been washed clean.
Now I am new,
My Renewer, my Healer, my Saviour, my God.
In “Renewer” by For All Eternity, the lyrics describe the struggle with pain and the desire to be rid of it. The singer is crying out for someone to take away their pain, after having experienced many things and having come to be the person they are. The pain still lingers, however, and the singer is struggling with their life being on the line. They are on the edge of a decision that will change their life, with their future laid out before them. However, the only thing standing in their way is their past self. In order to move forward, the singer must overcome their “wicked mind and [their] pride”. Only then can they truly walk in freedom, with their heart washed clean and a new outlook on life. This transformation is attributed to the singer’s faith in God, who is referred to as their Renewer, Healer, Saviour, and God.
