Thine is the Kingdom
Xixa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fade away
Dark of night
Wolves are listening
Quiet now
Don't make a sound
I'll meet you on the other side
My body, my blood
Mind is the vessel
To weather the flood
Hear them howl
They found us now
Our light is growing dim
Thine is the Kingdom
My body, my blood
Mind is the vessel
To weather the flood
Take me where
The water ends
Bless me in its wake
Turn around
And face me now
I'll meet you on the other side
Thine is the Kingdom
My body, my blood
Mind is the vessel
To weather the flood
Thine is the Kingdom
My body, my blood
Mind is the vessel
For all that you've done
The song "Thine is the Kingdom" by Xixa is a hauntingly beautiful track that speaks about surrendering oneself to a higher power. It is a song of reflection and acceptance, of understanding that there is something greater than ourselves at work. The opening lines of "fade away, dark of night, wolves are listening, quiet now, don't make a sound, I'll meet you on the other side" convey a sense of fear and anticipation, as if the singer knows that there is something to come that cannot be stopped. The repeated line of "Thine is the Kingdom" throughout the song is a declaration of surrender, a way of acknowledging that they are no longer in control; it is a plea for guidance.
The second verse speaks about the singer's own mortality, referring to their body and blood as vessels that will weather the flood. The line "mind is the vessel for all that you've done" is a recognition that everything that has led up to this point has been a part of a plan, that there is a purpose to their struggles. The wolves in the third verse are a metaphor for the challenges that they are facing, and the growing darkness represents the looming threat of failure. Yet, the repeated line of "Thine is the Kingdom" acts as a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in the face of adversity, there is a force at work that will guide them through.

Dark of night
The time of darkness
Wolves are listening
Wild creatures are paying attention
Quiet now
Silence, stop speaking
Don't make a sound

They found us now
They have discovered us
Our light is growing dim
Our source of illumination is weakening
Take me where
Bring me to a place
The water ends
Where the water ceases to flow
Bless me in its wake
Grant me blessings in the aftermath of the water's movement
Turn around
Face the opposite direction
And face me now
Turn and look at me in this moment
For all that you've done
In recognition of everything that you have accomplished
