Redemption Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Their toll is manifest
Never felt
But now revealed
As I'm put to the test
This manufactured world of pain
Brings shock to the system
That rearranges DNA
Evidence now introduced
The provenance is clear
Carelessness brings changes
If one is cavalier
If everything's in balance
Our bodies respond
Bur challenges emerge as life goes on
Women cry as children become men
And all that I can do is try to set things right again
Fear and doubt, confronted by our end
But all that we can do is try to become whole again
Witness the parallels
Between life and cells
Under stress to divide
Trying to conform
To what might seem the norm
Has brought me here where I might die
The lyrics of Redemption's song Begin Again speak about the impact of years of stress on an individual's body and mind. The accumulated stress is not always evident, but it surfaces when the individual is tested under challenging circumstances. The manufactured world of pain and the resulting shock to the system is compared to a rearrangement of DNA, leading to a code of death. The evidence of the toll of stress is introduced in clear terms and suggests that carelessness and cavalier attitude towards stress bring about changes that can be detrimental to one's health.

The stresses of all these years
The difficulties and struggles faced during my life
Their toll is manifest
The effects of these struggles have become clear
Never felt
These struggles were not always apparent or acknowledged
But now revealed
The effects of these struggles have become apparent
As I'm put to the test
As I face new challenges and hardships
This manufactured world of pain
The difficult and painful world we have created for ourselves
Brings shock to the system
The pain and difficulty we experience can be surprising and overwhelming
That rearranges DNA
The pain and difficulty can have a profound and lasting impact on us
Into a code of death
This impact can lead to negative consequences and even death
Evidence now introduced
The impact of these struggles is now clear
The provenance is clear
The source and cause of the difficulties have been identified
Carelessness brings changes
Small mistakes or carelessness can have significant consequences
If one is cavalier
If one does not take the proper care and attention
If everything's in balance
If everything is in proper proportion and order
Our bodies respond
Our bodies react to the world around us and the challenges we face
Bur challenges emerge as life goes on
However, new challenges will always arise as we continue through life
Women cry as children become men
Growing up and facing new challenges can be difficult and emotional
And all that I can do is try to set things right again
In the face of new challenges, all I can do is try to make things right and overcome them
Fear and doubt, confronted by our end
As we approach the end of our lives, we may struggle with fear and doubt
But all that we can do is try to become whole again
However, all we can do is try to find meaning and purpose and become whole
Witness the parallels
Notice the similarities
Between life and cells
The similarities between the processes of life and the processes of cells
Under stress to divide
Under stress and pressure to grow and change
Trying to conform
Attempting to fit in and meet the expectations of others
To what might seem the norm
To what is expected or considered normal
Has brought me here where I might die
These challenges have brought me to a place of potential danger or failure
