Relic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I rose up from my bed
And my eyes were open but my heart was broken
When I saw you fade away
And I waited in the dark 'till the morning came
But on that night I realized
That your love burns in me
Oh, you make the sun rise in me
And I can't help but wonder where this life is going
Now I know that you're my destination
Every step I take in your direction
Brings me close
And I can't help but wonder where this life is going
Now I know that you're my destination
Every step I take in your direction
Brings me home, brings me home
And on that night I realized
That your love burns in me
And God, now I'm held captive by the light unto my feet
The light unto my aching feet
Oh, you make the sun rise
Oh, you make the sun rise in me

There is a sense that the singer is becoming more aware of their purpose and destination in life, which brings them closer to the one they love. The song ends with the repeated line, "Oh, you make the sun rise in me," which reinforces the idea that the person they love is the light that guides them.

The light came in 'bout 3 AM
I woke up and saw light in the middle of the night
And I rose up from my bed
I woke up and got out of my bed
And my eyes were open but my heart was broken
I was awake but feeling sad
When I saw you fade away
I saw someone I care about leave my life
And I waited in the dark 'till the morning came
I stayed awake in the darkness until morning
But on that night I realized
I had a moment of understanding
That your love burns in me
I felt love in my heart
And God, now I'm held captive by the light unto my feet
I am guided by a higher power
Oh, you make the sun rise in me
I feel happy and full of life
And I can't help but wonder where this life is going
I think about the future
Now I know that you're my destination
I have found my purpose
Every step I take in your direction
I am moving closer
Brings me close
I feel closer to my purpose
Brings me home, brings me home
I feel like I belong
And on that night I realized
I had a moment of understanding
That your love burns in me
I felt love in my heart
And God, now I'm held captive by the light unto my feet
I am guided by a higher power
The light unto my aching feet
I am being guided when I am feeling lost
Oh, you make the sun rise
I feel happy and full of life
Oh, you make the sun rise in me
I feel happy and full of life
