Miracles
Justin Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Digging in the underground
Evidence is all around
The face of all eventual decay
Let the poison fill us up inside
Consequence is hard to hide
Scars that never really go away

We really need
We really need
But we all cannot believe in miracles

You run to try to get away
Dream about an early grave
But never get the nerve to follow through
The time will come to realize
The virtue you have left behind
To focus on a covetous pursuit

We really need
We really need
But we all cannot believe
We really need




We really need
But we all cannot believe in miracles

The lyrics of Justin Jones's song Miracles discuss the human tendency to focus on the negative aspects of life and the struggle to believe in the possibility of miracles. The first verse describes the decay and destruction that can be found in any environment, stating that the evidence of this is all around us. The second line speaks to the toxicity that can pervade individuals and society as a whole. The line "Consequence is hard to hide" suggests that our negative actions will inevitably have consequences, even if we try to conceal them. The final line in this verse is particularly poignant, stating that scars never truly disappear, further highlighting how our past mistakes can haunt us.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that while we may wish for miracles in our lives, we often struggle to believe that they are possible. The repetition of the line "We really need, but we all cannot believe in miracles" emphasizes the human tendency to focus on the negative aspects of life rather than the potential for good.


The second verse describes the mental struggles that we may face in life, including the desire for escape and the fear of mortality. The line "The time will come to realize..." emphasizes the importance of recognizing our own virtues and accomplishments rather than solely focusing on material gain. Overall, the theme of the song seems to be a call to focus on the positive aspects of life and to believe that miracles are possible.
