Destroy myself just for you
Montell Fish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe it'll last
Maybe it'll last this time

I'm gonna die one day
I know it, I know it
There's no surprise to this pain
Destroyin', destroyin', destroy
I destroy myself just for You, You
I destroy myself just for You, You
I

Maybe it'll last this time
Feel like I'ma crash
I hang up on the cross for You
I would give it all for You

I'm gonna die one day

Destroy myself just for You, You
I

Pray my salvation makes it to the pearly gates
Bring the suffering that I face
All the things that I face
Destroy myself just to wait for You

(I destroy myself just for You, You)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Verse Samuel 7:3
And Samuel said to all the house of Israel
"If you are returning to the Lord with all your heart
Then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you
And direct your heart to the Lord and serve him only
He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines"




So the people put away the Baals and the Ashtaroth
And they served the Lord only

Overall Meaning

In "Destroy Myself Just For You," Montell Fish is expressing a deep commitment to God, even through his struggles and pain. He starts by acknowledging that he hopes his faith and devotion will last, but recognizes that the pain of life can be overwhelming and even seem to undermine his faith. Nevertheless, he commits to sacrificing himself for God, even if it means suffering and destruction.


In the chorus, Montell sings of "destroying" himself for God, which could be interpreted in a few different ways. He might be talking about sacrificing himself spiritually or emotionally, giving up his own desires and goals to be more aligned with God's will. Alternatively, he may be speaking more literally and suggesting that he is willing to undergo physical suffering and even death for his faith. Regardless of the interpretation, the emotion and urgency in his voice communicate a deep devotion to God and a willingness to suffer for him.


The allusion to Samuel 7:3 towards the end of the song reinforces this theme of sacrifice and devotion. The biblical passage discusses the Israelites' commitment to God and their willingness to put aside false idols and serve him alone. Montell may be suggesting that he is similarly committed to serving God fully, even if it requires a level of self-sacrifice.
