Promise
God's Bow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a cold evening
It looks like a storm
A bloody ray of sun
Disappeared behind the horizon

You open Your hands for reality
Persuading yourself that there's only one
The one God has promised us
And you should know
That everything is inside you and me

Same reality every day
Coming to the same door
With a thousand of your words
A thousand of the promised paradises is going away

The Promise Your one and only goddess
Disappointment the result
Of your false understanding of truth
Disbelief aberration from the right way of thinking

Everything around you runs too fast...




And in the river full of blind men
You are flowing ......

Overall Meaning

In God's Bow's song Promise, the lyrics paint a visual of a cold and stormy evening as the sun sets, creating a bloody ray of light disappearing behind the horizon. The songwriter then talks about how we often deceive ourselves into thinking that there is only one reality, the one that God has promised us, and that everything we need resides within us. However, every day, we come to the same door with a thousand words and promised paradises, but they always slip away. The Promise is portrayed as our one and only goddess, but often, we experience disappointment due to our false understanding of truth and disbelief, ultimately leading to an aberration from the right way of thinking. In a world where everything seems to move too fast, we are flowing with the current of the river full of blind people.


The song's lyrics suggest that humans often search for an external source of happiness or fulfillment, such as God’s promise, but fail to see that everything they need is already within them. It warns against false promises and the disappointment that comes with them. The river of blind people shows how easy it is to fall into the trap of following the masses, but it is only by looking inward that we can find the truth.
