Messiah
Mozella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amazing grace
Came in the form of a slap in the face.
Now I don't
Believe what I see anymore.
Cuz it's all the same.
We wander in and out of love
Like it's meant to scar us and
We never change.
No we never think to change

But don't tell me that I'm wrong.
You know I'm not that strong.
And I never thought that loving you
Would hurt for so long.
I worshiped you
And I praised your name and I
Lived through you like a messiah.
While saving face
I let my pride control me
When you refused to hold me.
And I never placed blame.
And then one day
It just occurred to me that
You talked and never heard me.
And I stood by you and never changed.
No we never think to change.

But don't tell me that I'm wrong.
You know I'm not that strong.
And I never thought that loving you would hurt for so long.
I worshiped you.
I praised your name.
I lived through you like a messiah.
And I bled for you.




And I screamed your name.
And I worshiped you like a messiah.

Overall Meaning

The chorus emphasizes the singer's devotion and worship of their partner, who they describe as a messiah-like figure. They go on to confess that they let their pride control them and never placed blame on their partner, even when they refused to hold them. However, one day they realized that their partner never truly heard them or understood them, despite standing by their side.
