Resurrection
Parental Advisory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I could breath my life into you
One by one
Your pale fingers started to move
And I touched your face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
We've been slaves to this world
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
We've been slaves to this world
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
You kissed my lips
With those once cold fingertips
You reached out for me
And oh, how you missed
You touched my face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(Falling from grace)
We've been slaves to this world
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
Of this resurrection
Of this resurrection
Of this resurrection
Oh, ah, ah, oh
(Fallen from grace)
We've been slaves to this world
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection
The lyrics of Parental Advisory's "Resurrection" beautifully showcase a captivating love story with dark, gothic imagery. The opening lines "There was a time, When I could breathe my life into you, One by one, Your pale fingers started to move" suggest that the singer has the ability to revive their lover, who was possibly dead, through their own breath. The lyrics describe how the singer's lover smiles like an angel while falling from grace, which can be interpreted as her being grateful for the second chance at life despite maybe being lost to death.
The lyrics reflect on how the two lovers have been enslaved to the world from the day they first got together, relentlessly yearning for the resurrections of their love. The line "You kissed my lips with those once cold fingertips, You reached out for me, And oh, how you missed" suggests that the lover was missing their soulmate dearly and craved the resurrected passion. The song's dark imagery evokes the image of two star-crossed lovers, who have been separated by death, coming together anew.
Overall, "Resurrection" is a beautiful song that ponders on love, death, and the power of resurrection. Parental Advisory brings the lyrics to life through the gothic-inspired instrumental and eerie vocals, providing a hauntingly beautiful experience.
