Body
SYML Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bow down when she comes around
In my body I'm a disaster
I break down when you shake the ground
Every time I stand to leave my cage
In my broken body I stay
I'll build you a home when I can
Give my new body a chance
Patient now it's all that I have
I fought the world for your hand
I fought the world for your hand
Give my new body a chance
Give my new body a chance
It's all I have
In my body I fight fire
With the snow, my hell is cold
In my body I have a soft light
Burning low, but too hot to hold
I've become the only thing I hate
Leave this broken body today
I want to love like a man
I'll build you a home when I can
Give my new body a chance
Patient now it's all that I have
I fought the world for your hand
I fought the world for your hand
Give my new body a chance
Oh, give my new body a chance
I was hearing words in black and white
Twisted up inside my broken mind
Outstretched dirty hands just like a child
Hungry little fool, but you were mine
You're all I have
You're all I have
Give my new body a chance
Give my new body a chance
The lyrics of SYML's "Body" explore the emotions of being trapped in a broken body while yearning for love and acceptance. The first verse describes the singer's submission to their master, which could be interpreted as their physical limitations or a deep-seated insecurity. They identify their body as a disaster, a vulnerable and fragile vessel that trembles at each shake of the ground. Despite the desire to escape, they remain trapped within their body, unable to leave the cage that holds them back.
The chorus holds a different energy, one of hope and determination. The singer vows to love fiercely, to "build you a home" and fight the world for the one they love. They plead for their "new body" to be given a chance, as it is all they have. This repetition emphasizes the importance of acceptance and self-love, even in the face of physical pain and limitations.
The second verse paints a picture of contrast between fire and snow, representing the singer's inner turmoil. They have a "soft light" burning within, yet they are also consumed by self-loathing. They eventually long to leave their broken body behind, revealing a sense of resignation and perhaps a yearning for release.
The bridge repeats the phrase "give my new body a chance," suggesting a plea to the world to accept and love them for who they are, despite their physical frailty.
Overall, SYML's "Body" depicts the struggles of living with a body that doesn't function the way we want it to, the hope that comes with the possibility of love, and the importance of giving oneself a chance to be loved.

The lyrics seem so transparent. He's talking about accepting his brokeness and acknowledging his desperate need for God in his life, but acknowledges the struggle we all have: living for ourselves in these bodies and living for God, in the new "temple" he gives us when we let his Spirit in.
In my body I have a master (Holy Spirit, God's voice in us, directing our steps if we allow Him to)
I bow down when she comes around (bowing down to God's presence and holiness, referred to in the feminine)
In my body I'm a disaster (our sin reeks havoc)
I break down when you shake the ground (referring to God's power)
Every time I stand to leave my cage (prison of sin, the dominion it has over our lives)
In my broken body I stay (staying in a cycle of self-sabotage)
I want to love like a man (they way God made man to love, to have a true relationship knowing his Creator)
I'll build you a home when I can (building His body into a pure temple for God's Spirit to dwell)
Give my new body a chance (his pure new temple)
Patient now it's all that I have (it takes time, and is ultimately the only option)
I fought the world for your hand (the world will be against you when you strive to live in accordance with God, many obstacles to overcome)
I fought the world for your hand
Give my new body a chance
Give my new body a chance
It's all I have (being right with God is the only option at true fulfillment)
In my body I fight fire (fighting the will of God, the fire of the Holy Spirit)
With the snow, my hell is cold (an apathetic Hell within us, without the love of God)
In my body I have a soft light (presence of the Holy Spirit)
Burning low, but too hot to hold (we feel it, cannot control it)
I've become the only thing I hate (without God we despise ourselves)
Leave this broken body today (a want to leave our brokeness, our flesh, and be transformed by the renewal of our minds, knowing God)
I want to love like a man
I'll build you a home when I can
Give my new body a chance
Patient now it's all that I have
I fought the world for your hand
I fought the world for your hand
Give my new body a chance
Oh, give my new body a chance
I was hearing words in black and white (God's truth is clear and objective. It's straightforward.)
Twisted up inside my broken mind (not having a relationship with God dements our thinking)
Outstretched dirty hands just like a child ("dirty" referring to a life of sin and mistakes, having "child-like faith" reaching up to God)
Hungry little fool, but you were mine (he was insatiable, inconsequential, and ignorant, but by the grace of God, he lets us have a relationship with Him)
You're all I have (we will always have God with us, even if everyone else is gone)
You're all I have.
God came down to Earth to prove who He is, and to have a relationship with us! It's a hard battle to surrender your pride but it's worth it. God has better plans and standards for us then we could possibly imagine!!

I will never fully understand how people can listen to music like this and not see the complete beauty in not only the words but the beat of the music and the emotion behind the voice. Maybe too many people are used to rap and pop, but music has always been an emotion for me. I'm not sad or depressed which is usually people's first reaction when they see I listen to music like this, which I understandable, but I'm neither of those things. Music is purely art and when I listen to these songs I'm at genuine peace. It's like being transported to a new world. Your mindset is altered and feel something greater than yourself. It envelops your entire soul with pure emotion. You have an understanding for not only others but yourself and that's so beautiful. Music like this is so vastly underrated, but I'm absolutely in love.
