Reckless
Nothing Til Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hopeless, faithless
Used to live my life like I was reckless
Tried to fool myself and say things were fine
Tried to justify a life out of line
Voiceless, weightless
No matter what I say, I couldn't change this
No longer bound by the words of my mouth
I speak life so I live it now

Mind in chains, bound by adversity
No one deserves this, not even me
One key to one way out
Held by the hands that set me free
When I found Him I found my place
I saw new life when I saw His face

Rise and achieve in the life that you lead

I tried to make it on my own
I've giving on to hope
Where do I run
Who could I tell
In this cold world that I call home
Counting lines on walls
I was always set on giving up





Nothing working

Overall Meaning

in my life, everything crumbling
Trying to hide away, but no place to go running
Hopelessness and faithlessness had a hold on me
Used to live my life recklessly


I tried to fool myself and thought everything was fine
Justifying a life that was out of line
But the weight of my voiceless life was too much to bear
No matter what I said, I couldn't change things, couldn't repair


My mind was weighed down, chained up with adversity
And even though I didn't deserve it, He rescued me
The hands that set me free also held the key
Opening up a way out to a life I now lead


Finding Him was finding my place in this world
And my life was transformed once His face was unfurled
No longer hopeless or faithless, no longer reckless in my ways
Rising up achieving, living a life of faith each day
