Losin' My Way
Red Sea Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The blood red moon cracks the midnight sky
Over a sea of shadows where the lonely spirits cry
I see the sun dying, losing its light
But it's alright
Watching the signs, counting the days
Watching the world pass away

I believe in Your ways

'Till the end of my days
You are my shelter
To You I pray when I'm losin', losin' my way

I seek your wisdom to search what I must find
I must find
I seek your vision to be my eyes when I am blind
So blind
I feel the chill of a world that's lost its love
Like a lonesome dove

I believe in Your ways
Till the end of my days
You are my shelter
To You I pray when I'm losin', losin' my way

Watching the signs, counting the days
Watching the world pass away

I believe in Your ways
Till the end of my days
You are my shelter
In Your name I pray when I'm losin' my way
I believe in Your ways

Till the end of my days
When I'm losin', losin' my way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Red Sea's "Losin' My Way" paint a vivid picture of a desolate, apocalyptic world. The blood red moon cracking the midnight sky and the sea of shadows where the lonely spirits cry creates a haunting and eerie setting. The singer is observing the world around them and is watching as the signs point towards something ominous. Despite this, they find solace in their belief in a higher power - "I believe in Your ways/till the end of my days/You are my shelter/to You I pray when I'm losin', losin' my way". The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the importance of this belief and the comfort that comes with it.

The second verse continues with the theme of seeking guidance and wisdom from a higher power while navigating a world filled with darkness and blindness. The singer feels the chill of a world that's lost its love, drawing a picture of a bleak and loveless society. Again, the chorus is repeated, reinforcing the idea that this belief in a higher power is what will guide them through the darkness.

Overall, "Losin' My Way" is a song about finding hope in the face of despair. The imagery and language used creates a stark contrast between the desolate world and the comfort found in faith. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the importance of this belief in guiding the singer through their struggles.
