Irons Lyrics

When I was young, the smallest trick of light, Could catch my eye,
As a child, I was easily amazed by the smallest of things and would get fascinated by the slightest of light illuminations.

Then life was new and every new day, I thought that I could fly.
In the early days of my life, everything seemed wonderful and awe-inspiring. Every day felt like a new adventure and I felt like there was nothing that could hold me back.

I believed in what I hoped for, And I hoped in things unseen, I had wings and dreams could soar, I just don't feel like flying anymore.
I had a lot of faith in my hopes and dreams even if they were intangible. I felt like I could achieve anything if I just believed, but lately, I've lost that drive and motivation.

When the stars threw down their spears, Watered Heaven with their tears, Before words were spoken, Before eternity.
This is a metaphor for a time when the universe was still young, no one had spoken a word or even thought of the concept of time itself. A time when things were pure and unadulterated.

Dear Father, I need you, Your strength my heart to mend. I want to fly higher, Every new day again.
I reach out to God for guidance as I feel lost and spiritually broken. I yearn to regain the energy and passion to go further and higher each day once again.

When I was small, the furthest I could reach, Was not so high, Then I thought the world was so much smaller, Feeling I could fly.
As a child, I had limited goals and ambitions, but that also meant that my hopes were easily attainable. With my small worldview, I still felt like I could accomplish anything I set my mind to.

Through distant deeps and skies, Behind infinity, Below the face of Heaven, He stoops to create me.
This line seems to be a reference to the act of creation, which is attributed to God. It suggests that even with vast, unimaginable distances, God is capable of reaching across all of it just to create a single person.

Man versus himself. Man versus machine. Man versus the world. Mankind versus me.
This series of lines sets up a narrative of conflict that occurs at several levels. The idea of man versus man is replaced with man versus himself, his own inventions (the machine), and the world. The last line calls out a more personal struggle he experiences with the conflicts of humanity.

The struggles go on, The wisdom I lack, The burdens keep piling Up on my back.
The artist of the song talks about his personal struggles that keep on going, highlighting his lack of wisdom and experience in dealing with them. These struggles accumulate and weigh heavily on him.

So hard to breathe, To take the next step. The mountain is high, I wait in the depths.
The burdensome struggles have reached a point where he can barely take a breath or continue moving forward. The challenge seems insurmountable, and he is lost in the depths of his struggles.

Yearning for grace, And hoping for peace. Dear God... Increase.
With nothing left to cling to, he appeals to God for salvation, hoping to find inner peace and acceptance to make life better than what it has been. He yearns for graceful existence in the world.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again. Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love without condition, Without a beginning or an end.
The lines invoke an image of the merciful touch of a higher, divine power—Jesus—on humanity and mankind that has descended into sin and unworthiness. He reaffirms that freedom is only possible when it is based on unconditional love.

Here's my heart, let it be forever Your's, Only You can make every new day seem so new.
The author of the song surrenders his heart to the higher power, God, and acknowledges that it is only through Him that he can regain the enthusiasm and zeal to see new possibilities and hope in each new day.
