Furslide Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to spend as much time as I can alone although I'm not against learning a thing or two from you The wide wide sound of life gripping and letting go I listen to my voice to reassure my own and I try To hold on and I try to rise above and I try to hard sometimes faith is not enough but faith's the Only saving grace I face everything's in its place everything's in its place. if only you could only Speak the truth tell me can you tell me what that would make of you no one seems to find the secrets Hid between the walls what more can I say about you not catching my fall and I try to hold on and I Try to rise above and I try to hard sometimes faith is not enough but faith's the only saving grace I Face everything's in its place everything's in its place everything's in its place.it seems to me we Hold the rope together and so easily we fall just like a feather the other blames the other for the Pulling out and I try to hold on and I try to rise above and I try to hard sometimes faith is not Enough but faiths the only saving grace I face everything's in its place everything's in its place Everything's in its place everything's in its place ..

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Furslide's song Faith express a sense of introspection and searching for self-assurance amid the chaos of life. The singer acknowledges the value of learning from others but ultimately relies on their own inner voice to guide them. The phrase "the wide wide sound of life gripping and letting go" suggests that life is full of ups and downs, and the singer turns to faith as a "saving grace" to help them navigate these challenges. However, they acknowledge that faith is not always enough, and they must also strive to hold on and rise above difficulties on their own.

The lyrics also touch on themes of truth and trust, with the singer questioning whether those around them are truly honest and able to support them in times of need. The metaphor of holding a rope together and easily falling "just like a feather" suggests that relationships can be fragile and it can be all too easy to give up or blame others when things get tough.

Overall, the song expresses a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The repeated refrain of "everything's in its place" suggests that the singer is striving for a sense of order and control in their life, even when things feel chaotic and uncertain.
