My Salvation
Stromkern Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One moment frozen in time
Benediction for the lost and fallen
One shot and we'll all be fine

Still thinking that we're moving too slow
Maybe not, but what the hell do I know
If only I could let it go
This time son you're on your own so

Don't stop if you're doing fine
And a friend shouldn't be so hard to find
Don't fear what you feel inside
But if you choose salvation then make it mine and

Then maybe I can sleep tonight
Maybe dream tonight
And everything will be all right
A revelation by my side

Well don't blame me that you don't belong
And it's too late now because the moment's come and gone
I don't know if it's right or wrong that
We're living this stupid lie, so we can all get by

Close your eyes as you hit the floor
'Cause what I'm looking for
Is a settling of scores
Won the battle but you lost the war and
You'd better believe we won't take it anymore

You wanna wait?
I say the time is now but
I gotta believe that there's a way here somehow
Used to dream about oblivion
But now I realize
It means that we can win

You call it faith
I call it innocence
You say it's destiny
I say it's heaven sent
You call this progress?
I call it decay
"And a deviant path is the only way"

Don't stop, you're doing fine
And perfection ain't so hard to find
Don't fear what you feel inside
But if you choose salvation then make it mine and

Then maybe I can sleep tonight
Maybe dream tonight
And everything will be all right
A revelation by my side

So tell me what's it gonna be?
Faith in motion, no devotion's killing me
Little by little, day by day
I just keep on hoping I can find some other way

But every time that I hit the floor
You know I can't help thinking that I been here once before
Forced in but it's all remorse when
You know damn well that you'll do it all again

Don't stop if you want it all
'Cause you know that I'm there to break your fall
Easy to lose but the hard part is
What you gonna do if you finally win?

No matter what I have to say but
I never thought that it would end this way
But still there's a light that shines
For the revolution
Gonna make it mine

This final battle
This is the one we really need
And I'm oh so sick of trying
But I gotta believe

That this is the time when the walls came crashing down
Time to realize the lost are found




Goal clear, method sound
And if before it came to nothing it'll come to something now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stromkern's song My Salvation express the conflict between personal beliefs and external pressures. The first verse sets the scene for a crucial moment where a decision must be made to achieve "salvation," whatever that may mean for the individual. The second verse suggests a struggle with time and doubt, implying that there may be no right or wrong path and that the singer is feeling lost and alienated: "Don't stop if you're doing fine / And a friend shouldn't be so hard to find." The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, as the singer speaks of being able to rest easy with a "revelation by their side" if they choose the right path.


The second half of the song introduces a more confrontational tone, as the singer urges the listener to take action and "win" whatever it is they seek. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration with the status quo: "But every time that I hit the floor / You know I can't help thinking that I been here once before / Forced in but it's all remorse when / You know damn well that you'll do it all again." In the end, the singer remains hopeful that they are fighting for a greater cause: "This final battle / This is the one we really need / And I'm oh so sick of trying / But I gotta believe / That this is the time when the walls came crashing down / Time to realize the lost are found / Goal clear, method sound."
