Pride
The New Division Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took my sins and rid me of my pride
Just take my fears, I'll let them go
I'll take your hand and save my soul, tonight
The lyrics to The New Division's song "Pride" speak to the idea of redemption and surrendering oneself to a higher power. The lines "You take my sins and made me whole inside" and "You took my sins and rid me of my pride" suggest that the singer has turned to a force outside themselves (likely God or a similar deity) to help them overcome their own shortcomings and find inner peace. The idea of giving up pride is particularly significant, as it suggests that the singer recognizes the negative impact that their own ego has had on their life and is willing to let go of it to find true happiness.
The second half of the chorus, "Just take my fears, I'll let them go / I'll take your hand and save my soul, tonight" reinforces this idea of surrender and trust in a higher power. The singer is willing to let go of their own fears and anxieties and put their faith in something beyond themselves. This could be interpreted as a message of hope for listeners who are struggling with their own inner demons, encouraging them to seek help and guidance from sources outside themselves in order to find peace and happiness.
