Beauty From Pain
Super Chick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive but I feel like I've died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away
After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain
My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames
After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain
Here I am at the end of me (at the end of me)
Tryin' to hold to what I can't see (to what I can't see)
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long I cling to Your promise
There will be a dawn
After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

The lights go out all around me
The darkness seems to be taking over me
One last candle to keep out the night
I am holding onto the last source of light
And then the darkness surrounds me
Despite my efforts, I am overcome by darkness
I know I'm alive but I feel like I've died
My soul is drained of life
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
I am acknowledging that I have reached the end
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
My ambitions have slipped away despite my efforts to hold onto them
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I am losing my sense of comfort
I feel like I'm slipping away
I am losing my grasp on life
After all this has passed, I still will remain
I will survive this darkness
After I've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain

And made me as gold purified through these flames
My suffering has refined me into something valuable
Here I am at the end of me (at the end of me)
I have reached the limit of my strength
Tryin' to hold to what I can't see (to what I can't see)
I am struggling to hold onto hope in the face of darkness
I forgot how to hope
I have lost my sense of hope
This night's been so long I cling to Your promise
I am desperately holding onto the promise of something better
There will be a dawn
