Worthy
Jacob Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm being seen in all of my glory
The time has come for fate to decide
If a part of me is even worthy
The air is warm, my heart is cold
And I'll never know how it feels
The air is warm, my heart is cold
And I'll never know how it feels
I feel worthy somehow
Please, I don't want to go down, down
The new world is calling me now
Please don't let me go down, down
And I feel worthy somehow
Please don't let me go down, down
The new world is calling me now
Please don't let me go down, down
Just one step unto the lonely road
Has scarred me for life
No time to reflect as I was getting by
Getting by, enjoying life
The time has come for judgment day
And I'm standing here, begging you
Please take pity on me, take pity on me
I feel worthy somehow
Please, I don't want to go down, down
The new world is calling me now
Please don't let me go down, down
And I feel worthy somehow
Please don't let me go down, down
The new world is calling me now
Please don't let me go down, down
I feel so worthy right now
I don't want to go down now (I feel worthy right now)
I feel worthy right now (I've been waiting so long)
I feel so worthy (I feel worthy right now)
I feel so worthy
I feel so worthy
The lyrics of Jacob Banks’ “Worthy” speak to the overwhelming sense of uncertainty and self-doubt that can accompany moments of potential transformation. The opening lines, “Suddenly the clouds have opened up and I’m being seen in all of my glory,” seem to describe a moment of exposure or vulnerability. The next line, “The time has come for fate to decide if a part of me is even worthy,” complicates this image, suggesting that the exposure is not entirely of the singer’s own making, and that they are now awaiting judgment.
The repeated lines in the chorus, “Please, I don’t want to go down, down, the new world is calling me now, please don’t let me go down, down,” seem to reflect the singer’s fear of failure, of not measuring up to whatever new opportunity or challenge is before them. The line, “Just one step unto the lonely road has scarred me for life,” suggests a past experience of failure or disappointment, and the line “no time to reflect as I was getting by, getting by, enjoying life” suggests a possible source of that failure: perhaps the singer was not paying enough attention or taking things seriously enough.
Despite these doubts and fears, however, the singer ends the song on a note of self-affirmation: “I feel so worthy right now, I don’t want to go down now… I feel so worthy.” This suggests that the singer has found a sense of confidence or self-worth, in spite of or perhaps because of the challenges they face.
