Crucify
LaBrie James Lyrics

Father watch me fall
Acknowledging that God is watching as the singer makes mistakes

Witness my mistakes
Requesting God to observe and acknowledge the mistakes made

I have lost it all
Feeling completely broken, defeated and hopeless

I'm about to break
On the verge of a mental or emotional breakdown

Before the sound of dawn
Referring to a time of great despair and darkness

I turned my back on you
Abandoning God and ignoring his guidance

The life in me was gone
Feeling spiritually and emotionally dead

My consciousness withdrew
Becoming disconnected from reality, the present and God

Fear
Feeling scared and worried

Tormenting me
Being deeply troubled, anxious and distressed

Guilt
Feeling remorseful and at fault for one's actions

Won't let me be
Causing constant anguish and self-blame

I chose a different way
Making the decision to stray from God's path

But there's nowhere I could hide
Realizing that the consequences of one's actions will eventually catch up

From one end of the world
Feeling that there is no escape from the guilt and despair one feels

To the other side
Feeling overwhelmed and surrounded by negativity

I've never felt as cold
Feeling emotionally numb and lacking warmth or compassion

As I do today
Expressing the depth of the singer's despair and sadness

There's nothing here to hold
Feeling empty and alone, without any source of comfort

No reason I should stay
Feeling that there is no purpose or meaning to one's existence

Crucify
Asking God to help put an end to one's pain and suffering

Resist, deny
Urging oneself to reject negative thoughts and emotions

Kill the pain that dwells inside
Asking God to heal the inner wounds and emotional scars

Send your word
Asking God to provide guidance and dispensation

From on high
Seeking divine intervention or revelation

So this part of me will die
Asking God to help overcome one's inner demons and negative aspects

Can you hear my thoughts
Asking God if He can hear one's silent prayers

I know what I have done
Admitting to one's mistakes and shortcomings

You are all I've got
Acknowledging God's presence as the most important in life

And I don't want to run
Expressing one's desire to confront challenges head-on and trust in God

Surrender to your will
Putting one's faith and trust in God's plan, even if it involves hardship

From the ashes I am new
Being reborn or renewed through faith and God's grace

Your presence is revealed
Feeling God's presence and guidance in one's life

Showing all that's true
Realizing the value of honesty, faith, and perseverance
