Redemption
Skrizzly Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I'm all out of options, so save your tears
She said "Try me, yeah, I′m all ears"
Yeah, you can't lose forever if I'm right here
She screamed, "Oh my God
Why don′t you just let down your guard?"
And I said "Oh my God
She said roll down the windows, yell out loud
That you're mad as hell, but you won′t back down
And you can't stop forever that won′t slow it down
So just say you're not alone (I′m not alone)
I've been waiting for my day to come (yeah)
Where my soul gets saved and the pain goes numb
She said, "Baby, it's okay to run
Know I′ll run with you if you need someone"
She screamed, "Oh my God
Why don′t you just let down your guard?"
And I said "Oh my God
I'm just tired of fighting on my own"
She said roll down the windows, yell out loud
That you′re mad as hell, but you won't back down
And you can′t stop forever that won't slow it down
So just say you′re not alone now
We don't turn up, we just sit down and say everything's okay
Well, I′ll tell a lie, and you′ll tell a lie just to make it through the day
Say something's wrong, say nothing′s wrong
Just getting in my own way
I hope you don't see it, I hope you don′t see it
She said, "Rest assured now baby boy, I got it
Just tune out all that other noise, go silent
Just stay with me, just stay with me and breathe it in right now
Just breathe it in now, just breathe it in now"
She said roll down the windows, yell out loud
That you're mad as hell, but you won′t back down
And you can't stop forever that won't slow it down
So just say you′re not alone
She said roll down the windows, yell out loud
That you′re mad as hell, but you won't back down
And you can′t stop forever that won't slow it down
So just say you′re not alone
In Skrizzly Adams's song "Redemption," the singer is in a dark place, feeling like he has exhausted all options for salvation. However, a woman in his life offers him hope and the possibility of redemption. She urges him to let his guard down and stop fighting alone. She wants him to believe that he can't lose forever, and that if she's with him, he won't be alone.
The woman encourages the singer to express his frustration and anger out loud, and to not let it hold him back. He can't stop forever, but he also doesn't have to face everything alone. She assures him that she will be there for him, even if all he needs is someone to breathe with.
The lyrics of "Redemption" speak to the universal human experience of struggling through difficult times and needing a little help from friends or loved ones to make it through. It is a poignant reminder that admitting vulnerability doesn't make someone weak, and that redemption and salvation are often found in community and connection.
