The Art of Joy
Jackie Hill Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two hearses read me
They search me with a urgent? like seaweed
Bodypaint in this cursive
This worshop is rehearsal
It's universal who you work trough
The churches purpose is to search you, uh
This verses purpose is to lurk the murkin purpose of the joy thief
Where the joy beat
Inside the commands the plan B 'Destroy me'
They possin me (?)
They can't enjoy the deploy be
Deploy peace
Two fingers like a 70's boy seen with some bail bottems
Hell always riding with objects
They rejected better yet they forgotten the compass
That the optics only option spotting the (?)
is corrupted from the topic
It's a process when no one rockin his promise
Must be honest there's some blindness in my progress
Um then I remember
You make us happy when we look at you
You make us happy when we look for you
Satisfaction only happens to those.
Who were colliding you
Colliding you
You make us happy when we look at you
Can't make us happy when we look for you
Satisfaction only happens to those.
Who were colliding you
Colliding you
Who where colliding you
Colliding you
Satisfaction only happens to those.
Who were colliding you
Colliding you
I tried to find joy in everything
Searched a couple mountains
Even thought I could get from two from fifteens
That filled my lungs with something higher that inspire like a sixteen
It didn't work
But what did it was the finish work
Brought me back to himself
Now I'm living in reverse
Seeing good gifts as a glimpse of the giver
Merry christmas if your vision works
If you seen him then you get it
I've you seen it than you get him an image that can't keep you from mental prison
Our mental was limited to his existence
Whether there was finish that was the beginning of all the joy attention
If I'm happy in you
I'm happy with you
Attracted to you makes it jesture turn the ashes
Grab the urn and burn it faster
Then jackie turner satisfaction serving you
I'm just happy learning you
You make us happy when we look at you
You make us happy when we look for you
Satisfaction only happens to those.
Who were colliding you
Colliding you
Who were colloding you
Who were colloding you
Satisfaction only happens to those.
Who were colliding you
Colliding you
In the first verse of Jackie Hill Perry's song The Art of Joy, she sings about waking up to new messes - problems or difficulties that she needs to face. She also mentions two hearses, which suggests a sense of foreboding or doom. The urgent searching of her body with seaweed imagery might suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed or consumed by negative thoughts or experiences. However, despite this, Perry sees this as a rehearsal or workshop for a greater purpose. She believes that the ultimate goal of the church should be to search for and bring joy to people, to counteract the 'joy thief' that she sees as lurking in the background. The chorus emphasizes that true satisfaction and happiness can only be found in a relationship with God - searching and colliding with Him - rather than in worldly pursuits.
In the second verse, Perry describes her own personal struggle to find joy in things like climbing mountains or seeking higher experiences. However, she eventually found true joy in the 'finish work' of Christ, and sees good things as a reflection of the goodness of God rather than as ends in themselves. She believes that our minds can be imprisoned by limited views of existence and that true joy can only be found in a relationship with God.
