Remnant
Leah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Words, they cut so deep
Carving into the flesh
This cross so heavy
There is no rest
Betrayal, deception
Whips of dishonesty
Corruption, Oppression
For this reality

Triumph in tribulation
Nothing can stop us now
These scars will serve
As a reminder
Of shifting, and sifting
Shaking us all apart
Can we take the pressure
Of a refiner's fire?

Narrow is the way
And few who will find it
Wide is the gate to destruction
The remnant will remain
The relic of promise
Sacrifice to regain
Our rightful inheritance

Loss and liberation
Paradox of this life
It's shedding light
In the dark of the night
Oh eyes, they see
But they are still so blind
Their minds are open
But they know nothing now

Narrow is the way
And few who will find it
Wide is the gate to destruction
The remnant will remain
The relic of promise




Sacrifice to regain
Our rightful inheritance

Overall Meaning

Leah’s song Remnant seems to be a reflection on spiritual struggle, endurance and perseverance. The song talks about the pains and burdens of living a righteous life, the deceitful nature of the world and the sternness of the journey that comes with it. The lyrics suggest that the road to salvation is a difficult one, filled with betrayal, deception, and oppression, but it is also one that requires an inward change. The metaphor of the refining fire suggests that the painful experiences of life are necessary to bring about a transformation and the process should be embraced rather than fought against.


The phrase “Narrow is the way and few who will find it” is borrowed from the Bible, which echoes the message of prophetic warnings in Matthew 7:13-14. The path to salvation and truth can be difficult but those who persevere and pursues righteousness are considered the chosen ones, known as the remnant. The word “remnant” refers to a small group of people who remain faithful followers of God even in the face of persecution and trials.


Overall, the song “Remnant” is a deep reflection on faith, hope, and perseverance in the face of opposition. It provides a powerful reminder of the need to embrace our scars, as a symbol of our spiritual journey, and hold on to the promise of salvation despite the challenges that come with it.
