Anything Is Possible
This Providence Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey I could run away.
Run away from everything I know.
I know I shouldn't feel this way.
Because really, I gotta get away from me.

Is there any hope for a boy like me?
Is there any, any hope for me?

There's gotta be.

And yeah, well I can hear you say,
"Anything is possible."
But my life is such a mess.
And we've already been through this.
And though we've been here before.
Anything is possible.
So many years all alone in the dark.
Well it's time to get out.
It's time to get out.

Hey, hey I danced away.
Countless nights with demons out of sight.
And I took to their foolish games.
But really, I gotta get myself out of this scene.

Is there any hope for a boy like me?
Is there any hope for me?

There's gotta be.

I'm so ready to be free.
And yeah, well I can hear you say,
"Anything is possible."
But my life is such a mess.
And we've already been through this.
And though we've been here before.
Anything is possible.
So many years all alone in the dark.
Well it's time to get out.
It's time to get out.

I'm hoping on an overwhelming grace.
I'm praying for this dream to come true.

And yeah, well I can hear you say,
"Anything is possible."
Even cleaning up a mess like me.
Well it's time to get out.
It's time to get out.

And yeah, well I can hear you say,
"Anything is possible."
But my life is such a mess.
And we've already been through this.
And though we've been here before.
Anything is possible.

And yes, I'm a mess.
I'm lonely and dirty.

But it's time to get out.
It's time to get out.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to This Providence's song Anything is Possible are an honest and raw expression of the struggles one faces when trying to escape their own demons. The singer, who seems to be in a state of despair, talks about running away from everything they know because they can't seem to escape themselves. They are looking for hope and wondering if there is any possibility for them to change their circumstances. The line "Is there any, any hope for me?" is particularly poignant as it expresses a deep sense of helplessness.

Throughout the song, the singer seems to be in a constant battle with their inner demons. They talk about dancing away countless nights with demons out of sight and taking part in foolish games.
