John Ball Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These ramifications are weighing on me
Though I may run, though I may flee
These binding temptations wont let go of me
The enemy is standing right in front of me
But the temptation makes him unseen
So I don't try and run, I don't try and flee
Now I'm lost in this sea of fear and defeat
And my heart burns I am desperate to be made new
For I'm certain my flesh will fail you
These lyrics from John Ball's song "Temptation" are about the struggle with temptation and how it can hold a person captive, even when they try to escape it. The first stanza talks about how the singer feels trapped by the consequences of their actions, and how they wish the temptation would just let them go free. The second stanza describes how the enemy, or temptation, can be so alluring and powerful that it obscures the true danger and makes it easy for the person to fall into its trap. The final stanza is a plea for help and redemption, with the singer acknowledging their own weakness in the face of temptation and asking for divine intervention to save them from themselves.

Oh temptation set me free
I am enslaved by my binding temptations and wish to be free from them
These ramifications are weighing on me
The consequences of my actions are causing me stress and anxiety
Though I may run, though I may flee
I am trying to escape the temptation and its grasp on me
These binding temptations wont let go of me
The temptation is too strong for me to resist or overcome
The enemy is standing right in front of me
The Satan, my adversary, is tempting me
But the temptation makes him unseen
The temptation disguises the true enemy and his intentions
So I don't try and run, I don't try and flee
I do not fight the temptation or resist it
And the enemy easily overtakes me
The Satan succeeds in tempting me
Now I'm lost in this sea of fear and defeat
I am overwhelmed by my failure to resist the temptation
And my heart burns I am desperate to be made new
I am struggling to turn away from the temptation and seek redemption
For I'm certain my flesh will fail you
I know that my own willpower and physical strength are not enough to resist the temptation
