Still Born Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
never said please
I always felt blessed
in the things i did
but now i'm getting wowed
i had to assert
that i'll rot in hell
fot being a rebell
and would go there anyway so you should be proud
cause i chose you
to be my redemption
oh die for me...
there is no other way
you've got to save my soul from this
be my CHRIST-------
your final loss
makes heaven my doss
let me nail you to the cross
let me nail you to the cross
and be my messiah---
You selfish coward
go go pray on your own
and if you don't
follow me i'll go alone
I have nothing to loose
nothing to fear
when i'm alone in here
but you don't leave me---
So I die for me there is no other way
i have got to save my soul from this
i'll be my christ-----
My final loss
makes heaven my doss
come on nail me to the cross
come on nail me to the cross
I´ll be my messiah-----
The lyrics of "Messiah" by Still Born could be interpreted in various ways depending on the listener's perspective. However, a potential interpretation could be that the singer has lived a life of decadence and self-gratification but is now experiencing a crisis of faith or belief in the afterlife. They come to the realization that they will likely end up in hell for their sins and decide to turn to Christianity for redemption. The singer seems to insist on being saved by Jesus Christ and is willing to die for their sins to gain eternal life.
Furthermore, the singer describes themselves as a "rebell" who needs to be "nailed to a cross" for their salvation. They acknowledge their cowardice and selfishness, recognizing that they need a savior to grant them the forgiveness they seek. The singer's choice of words depicts their desperation, as they seem to be willing to do anything to receive salvation and avoid their perceived fate of damnation.
Overall, the song addresses themes of redemption, faith, sacrifice, and the afterlife, and the lyrics express intense emotions of fear, desperation, and longing for salvation.
