Understanding
Household Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every lie that wasn't you
I dive into this book
"but boy, will you heed my words?"
Reflect, Rethink, Restore
Set me straight
confuse my language
I pray this is not just another day
I pray that you remember
Brick castles and skyscrapers both towering high
will I take what I've read?
will I let it apply?
and as Babel has fallen, I too am beaten by pride
Will I read with courage to be led by the light?
Freedom flies in those pages
Freedom lies in his face
Listen
The darkness around me brings me down
but the light inside my give me consistency
'therefore my dear brothers, stand firm. let nothing move you. Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord cause you know that your labor is not in vain.'

A prayer hoping that this day will be different than the rest

A plea to the divine to always be present
