Amen
Halestorm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A fire's gotta burn
The world is gonna turn
Rain has gotta fall
Fate is gonna call
But I just keep on breathing
Long as my heart is beating

Someone's gotta hate
It's never gonna change
Gets harder everyday
It's a hell of a place
To keep your heart from freezing
To keep yourself believing

But I won't run
I'm not afraid
I'll look em in the eye
Gonna hear me say
It's

My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust
My God, it ain't no sin
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen
My grace
My church
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My God, I'll say it again
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen

Can I get it
Can I get an Amen
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen

Life has gotta kill
Faith is gonna blind
Hope is gonna fade
The truth is gonna lie
Sometimes there's no reason
To justify the meaning

But I won't run
I'm not ashamed
It's gonna take more than this for me to break

My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust
My God, it ain't no sin
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?
My grace
My church
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My God, I'll say it again
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?

Can I get it
Can I get an Amen
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen

My life, my love, my sex, my drug
My lust

My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust
My God, it ain't no sin
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?
My grace
My church
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My God, I'll say it again




Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Amen by Halestorm express a sense of defiance and resilience in the face of life's challenges. The verses describe the inevitabilities of life - the fact that fires will burn, the world will turn, and rain will fall. There will be hate, and things will get harder every day. The song acknowledges that sometimes things happen for no reason, and that faith may be blind and hope may fade. However, throughout the song, the singer emphasizes that she won't run away or be ashamed of who she is.


The chorus is a celebration of life and its pleasures, with the repeated refrain of "My life, my love, my sex, my drug, my lust, my God, it ain't no sin, can I get it, can I get an amen." The singer is unapologetic about her desires and the things that make life worth living - love, sex, and pleasure. She recognizes that for her, these things are like a church or a grace, and even though she may experience pain and tears, she still believes in them. The song ends with the singer repeating the chorus several times, driving home the message that she will not be silenced or shamed, and that she will continue to celebrate her life and her desires, no matter what.
