Against My Life
Wave in Head Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's the sad pale sinner
In this picture of my past?

I look lost and thinner
Like the shadow that I cast

What could ever reach me?
What could ever lead me?
What could ever teach me
How to realiseย :

I was hate, I was sleeping consciousness
I was cool but that made my emptiness
Rise as the pain inside

I was stone for the wall I built inside
I was blown by the pure insight that I fight
Against my life

Where's the world I live in
In this picture in my hand?

Did I just start living
In a self made promise land?

What could ever change me?
What could rearrange me?
What could make the strange me
Give up this fight?

I was hate. I was sleeping consciousness
I was cool but that made my emptiness
Rise as the pain inside

I was stone for the wall I built inside.




I have changed, I'm no longer willing to fight
Against my life

Hebrews

12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Acts

3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

James 2:24,26

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

John

3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
