Lyrical Analysis of...
REDEMPTION (REMIX)10/15
- Taigen
- [Intro –0:00–0:15]
- (Yeah, yeah…)
- I've been running from the man I used to be,
- Looking in the mirror, seeing someone I don't need.
- If Heaven's got a doorway, save a place for me,
- I've been fighting all my demons just to finally breathe.
- (Oh oh, yeah…)
- [Chorus –0:15–0:42]
- I'm searching for redemption in a world full of scars,
- Trying to find Heaven while I'm falling through the stars.
- I got a broken halo and a half healed heart,
- Every time I find the light, I'm dragged into the dark.
- I've been down, I've been lost, I've been fighting myself,
- Put my pain in a box, left it high on a shelf.
- If forgiveness is a road, I've been walking alone,
- Trying to turn these broken pieces into something like home.
- [Verse 1 –0:42–1:20]
- Mama told me, "Son, don't let your pain define you,"
- But every single memory got a way to remind you.
- Used to chase a little peace down an empty highway,
- Praying that tomorrow wouldn't feel like a Friday
- Spent alone with the ghosts of the person I was,
- Trying to build a new life out of ashes and dust.
- I've made mistakes, I ain't proud of my past,
- Had a pocket full of dreams that I thought wouldn't last.
- I've been calling out to God through the pouring rain,
- Asking why the sunshine always comes with pain.
- But I learned that a scar doesn't mean you're defeated,
- Sometimes what gets broken comes back when you need it.
- Had a thousand conversations with the moon at night,
- Told her all my secrets when I couldn't see the light.
- Now I'm picking up the pieces that I left on the floor,
- I ain't running from my shadow anymore.
- [Pre Chorus –1:20–1:33]
- (Oh oh oh…)
- Can you hear me through the thunder?
- I've been drowning, going under.
- If my past comes back to haunt me,
- Tell my demons they don't own me.
- [Chorus –1:33–2:00]
- I'm searching for redemption in a world full of scars,
- Trying to find Heaven while I'm falling through the stars.
- I got a broken halo and a half healed heart,
- Every time I find the light, I'm dragged into the dark.
- I've been down, I've been lost, I've been fighting myself,
- Put my pain in a box, left it high on a shelf.
- If forgiveness is a road, I've been walking alone,
- Trying to turn these broken pieces into something like home.
- [Verse 2 –2:00–2:35]
- I used to write goodbye on the back of my dreams,
- Now I write new beginnings where the old pages bleed.
- Every person that I hurt, every promise I broke,
- Every word I never said, every bridge up in smoke.
- I can't undo yesterday, but I can change tomorrow,
- Turn a hundred nights of pain into a reason not to follow
- Every dark thought telling me I'm never gonna heal,
- 'Cause the wounds might be deep, but the hope is still real.
- Now I'm staring at the sunrise through a cracked windshield,
- Got a heart full of lessons that I never thought I'd feel.
- I ain't asking for a perfect life, just another chance,
- To make peace with my reflection when I look back.
- If the angels hear my voice, tell 'em I'm still trying,
- Got a fire in my chest that refuses to stop shining.
- I was buried by my past, now I'm breaking through the ground,
- Lost myself a thousand times, but I'm finally being found.
- [Bridge –2:35–2:48]
- (Oh oh, oh oh…)
- Let the rain wash away my regrets,
- Let the sunrise forgive what I can't forget.
- I don't need to be the person I was,
- I just need a little faith and a little more love.
- [Outro –2:48–3:00]
- Redemption ain't a place, it's a road that I take,
- Every step is another chance to change.
- If Heaven hears me calling, let my broken heart through,
- I lost who I was just to find someone new.
- (Yeah… oh oh…)
- I'm not my past… I'm what I choose.
