Translucent
Sal Ly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Magnify You like a spy glass
Number One, be my desire
Like the world and burn like a fire
1]
I ain't trying to be at the forefront
And no I ain't trying to be the face of the movement
I don't wanna take Your place
I don't wanna take Your glory, yea
Let my life be like glass so other people can see You
Let my heart be the path that lets Your light come flooding in
I don't wanna be a barrier to Your being their desire
I wanna be like glass
I wanna be see-through
All I wanna show is You, You, You
All I wanna show is You, You, You
All I wanna show is You, You, You
Let Your light shine through me, me, me
All I wanna show is (Make me translucent)
2]
Me, I can't lie, oh
Sometimes I really be proud
Sometimes my spirit is haughty
My heart is conceited, I wanna take all the glory
Me, I can't lie oh
Sometimes when I'm on a roll
And I wanna hear crowds screaming my name,
Telling me Sal Ly You're doing the
Thing, full of my self, killing the game
Tyna keep all the glory for my name
But it's not about me, no
No it ain't about me, yo
It's always been about You
You're the center of the universe
All I wanna show is You, You, You
All I wanna show is You, You, You
All I wanna show is You, You, You
Let Your light shine through me, me, me
All I wanna show is (Make me translucent)
Where ever I go, I will shine Your light
What's the point if they don't see You?
Everywhere I go, I be the lamp holder
When they see me, they will see You
Where ever I go, I will shine Your light
What's the point if they don't see You?
Everywhere I go, I be the lamp holder
When they see me, they will see You
All I wanna show is You, You, You
All I wanna show is You, You, You
All I wanna show is You, You, You
Let Your light shine through me, me, me
All I wanna show is (Make me translucent)
All I wanna show
All I wanna show
Make me translucent
The lyrics of Sal Ly's song Translucent can be interpreted as a prayer to God expressing the singer's desire to embody the qualities of transparency and selflessness. The song begins with the lines "Seem real clear through a fine glass/Magnify You like a spy glass," which suggest the singer's goal of being transparent like glass so that others can see God through them. The desire for this level of transparency and purity is reinforced in the chorus, with the plea "Make me translucent."
In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that they do not want to be the center of attention or claim glory for themself; rather, they wish to be a conduit through which God's light can shine. The lines "Let my heart be the path that lets Your light come flooding in/I don't wanna be a barrier to Your being their desire" emphasize the singer's intention to let go of ego and allow God's will to be done through them.
The second verse touches on the singer's struggle with pride and the temptation to seek personal glory. However, they ultimately recognize that their purpose is to be a vessel for God's message, and that their own desires for fame and recognition are secondary. The lines "But it's not about me, no/No it ain't about me, yo/It's always been about You" underscore this realization.
Overall, Translucent is a heartfelt and introspective song that expresses the desire to be a humble and transparent messenger for God's love and wisdom.

Thank you so much for this especially honest in it.....Remember He(God) is not selfish if you give him or let the glory goes to him then he gives it back to you in return just like Jesus said "I've gloried you father now let your son be gloried" when he was about to rise Lazarus from death
