Philadelphia
Sent By Ravens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You thought a blanket of silence would strengthen your feet
Then a name came out in prophecy
Still you were terrifier that name was truth
It's truth
Brother you must find which way to go
And with grace be bold
Take your time
And with grace be bold
Despite truth, the talk was cheap
You thought a princess with purpose was all that you'd need
Then a name came out in prophecy
He knew that growning fire
It came from you
Yes. you
Brother you must find which way to go
And with grace be bold
Just take your time
Take your time
And with grace be bold
The clouds will come but they're not gonna stop this love
The clouds will come
Now a hole would be something
No, I was still nothing
No
Brother you must find which way to go
And with grace be bold
Just take your time
Take your time
And with grace be bold
The clouds will come but they're not gonna stop this love
The clouds will come
The lyrics of Sent By Ravens' song "Philadelphia" talk about the struggles of a person who has been hurt deeply in the past. The opening line "When they cut you, the blade went deep" is a metaphor for emotional pain that has left a permanent scar on the person. The person thought that by staying silent about their pain, they could become stronger, but their unresolved emotions caused them to feel fear when a name that represented their truth came out in prophecy.
The chorus, "Brother you must find which way to go, and with grace be bold, just take your time, take your time, and with grace be bold" is a message of hope and encouragement to the person. It talks about finding one's way in life and being brave while doing so, even if it takes time.
The second verse talks about how the person thought that they could find happiness in a romantic relationship by finding a "princess with purpose." However, they soon realized that their own unresolved emotions were getting in the way of finding love. The lyric "He knew that growing fire, it came from you, yes. you" refers to the idea that the person was self-sabotaging their own chance at love.
Overall, the song "Philadelphia" is about overcoming past hurt and finding the courage to move forward. The lyrics suggest that it's okay to take time in the process and that love and hope can conquer any obstacle, even if storms may come.
