Divide
Phil Lober Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And see how freely we ride
All your strength
All your pain
Everything, is nothing
Nothing
Nothing 'till you grow again
(And see how freely we ride)
All strength
And all pain
Everything, is nothing
Nothing
Nothing
All your strength
All your pain
Everything, is nothing
Nothing
Nothing 'till you grow again
All your strength
All your pain
And everything, is nothing
Nothing
Nothing 'till you grow again
The lyrics of Phil Lober's song "Divide" speak to the idea of overcoming obstacles and divisions, and finding freedom on the other side. The first line "Divide the great divide" is a call to action, urging listeners to break down the barriers that separate us and prevent us from truly connecting with others. When we do so, we can "ride" freely, unencumbered by the weight of our differences.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of transformation and growth. Even when we encounter challenges and pain, these experiences can ultimately lead to personal growth and a new understanding of ourselves and the world around us. The line "Everything is nothing, nothing, nothing 'til you grow again" suggests that even our greatest challenges can ultimately lead to a new perspective and a stronger sense of self.
Overall, the lyrics of "Divide" encourage listeners to persevere through hardship and seek out connection and growth, rather than being weighed down by the divisions and struggles of life.

I remember the first time I heard this. I had to play it over and over again to fully take it in because it was so filled with so emotion and just... awesomeness. You never cease to amaze, Phil. I hope you have another album real soon because I crave your stuff.

Thank you so much for posting the lyrics to this song! I would definitely love it if you could post the lyrics to more of them. I've been trying to find the lyrics for Go and can't find them. I've always had a strange difficulty in hearing lyrics in music and as amazing as the effects you use on voices are, It's hard for me to make out some lines. I want to be able to sing along more xD
