Messiah
T.P.O.L.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Eleven years, three months, and nineteen days
Spent a long time runnin
Lost in a whiskey haze
Went down the list
Tried all seven deadly sins
I don't know where I go from here
But it's better than where I've been
I'm not the one to save you

I am not your new messiah
I can't save you, I cannot take you higher
I am only made of flesh blood and bone
Can't you see
I've got problems of my own

Now I've been up and I've been beaten down
But I learned real quick to pick myself up off the ground
Oh, I'm no savior, don't live by the golden rule
I've been called a hero and I've been called a fool

I'm not the one to save you

I am not your new messiah
I can't save you, I cannot take you higher
I am only made of flesh blood and bone
Can't you see
I've got problems of my own

The streets are filled with angels
And demons at every turn
Some want to lift you up
Some want to watch you burn
Don't bring me your problems
Cause I can't set you free
Don't look to me for answers
Cause you're no concern to me, yeah

I am not your new messiah
I can't save you, I cannot take you higher
I am only made of flesh blood and bone
Can't you see
Can't you see




I said can't you see
I've got problems of my own

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of T.P.O.L.D.'s song "Messiah" delve deep into themes of personal struggles, self-awareness, and the burden of unrealistic expectations. The opening verse sets a tone of introspection and self-reflection by mentioning the passage of time, experiences of being lost and consumed by substances. The singer appears to have indulged in various vices, exploring the depths of human temptation encapsulated by the seven deadly sins. Despite this journey through darkness, there's a sense of acknowledgment that the current state, though unknown, is preferable to the past.


The chorus serves as a defiant declaration rejecting the role of a savior or messiah. The singer bluntly states their limitations as a mere mortal made of flesh, blood, and bone, incapable of elevating others to a higher plane. The admission of personal problems reinforces the idea that everyone, including those perceived as strong or heroic, grapples with their inner demons and challenges. It's a raw admission of vulnerability and a firm stance against being pedestaled or idolized.


As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the ups and downs of life, emphasizing resilience in the face of adversity. The rejection of traditional norms like the golden rule and the juxtaposition of being labeled both hero and fool hint at the complexity and contradictions within human nature. This refusal to conform to societal expectations or divine-like roles underscores a sense of individuality and authenticity in the singer's character.


The final verse paints a vivid picture of the world's duality, with angels and demons coexisting within the streets. The refusal to be burdened by others' problems or play the role of a problem-solver emphasizes a sense of boundaries and self-preservation. The repetition in the concluding lines, "Can't you see I've got problems of my own," reinforces the message of self-awareness and prioritizing personal struggles over external demands. Ultimately, "Messiah" is a powerful anthem of self-acceptance, asserting that no one person can bear the weight of others' salvation and echoing the sentiment that everyone is fighting their own battles.

Praying for you Ahk.. Warfare is a testament of your gift and your effectiveness. HaSatan don't bother the ineffective.
Jas 1:2  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations; 
Jas 1:3  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience. 
Jas 1:4  But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
