This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This wooden soul of mine
It cannot ever climb
From places it has fallen
In between where light can shine
It never falls in line
It barely has a spine
Like branches severed from the vine
Like it was faulty by design
And now your mercy lights up my dark eyes
Your brilliant hope now lifts my falling skies
And I'm the object of your affection
You loved me still in my imperfection
The sun will shine on winter snow
And shadows fade
In Excelsis Deo
This wooden soul is old
Its lies are growing cold
Its knotted trunk is straightening
Its roots are loosening their hold
So cluttered with debris
This inefficient melody
I'll keep waiting patiently
If this world will ever release me
You love me even though I am untrue
If I was perfect, I wouldn't need you
I'm the object of your affection
You loved me still in my imperfection
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo
Not so far, not so far to go
It cannot ever climb
From places it has fallen
In between where light can shine
It never falls in line
It barely has a spine
Like branches severed from the vine
Like it was faulty by design
And now your mercy lights up my dark eyes
Your brilliant hope now lifts my falling skies
And I'm the object of your affection
You loved me still in my imperfection
The sun will shine on winter snow
And shadows fade
In Excelsis Deo
This wooden soul is old
Its lies are growing cold
Its knotted trunk is straightening
Its roots are loosening their hold
So cluttered with debris
This inefficient melody
I'll keep waiting patiently
If this world will ever release me
You love me even though I am untrue
If I was perfect, I wouldn't need you
I'm the object of your affection
You loved me still in my imperfection
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo
Not so far, not so far to go

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
a beautiful song about love and hope of Jesus Christ... of how he loves you and provides for you.
Its about someone struggling to break free from their own, sinful self and trying to become the person they want to be - someone pleasing to God.
The first verse talks about his struggles with his flesh - his "wooden soul" being fundamentally opposed to God's working, and not being able to get out of the "places it has fallen" - sinful, selfish habits and lifestyle. But he realises that even through this, God still loves him - "And now your mercy lights up my dark eyes".
The second verse talks about his progress - he is getting over his old self, and his "knotted trunk is straightening" - he's getting on top of his struggles with the flesh. But he realises he is not quite there yet - still waiting for "If this world will ever release me", and knows he has to be patient for it. He knows he is still not perfect, even after all this time - but no matter what, he is still the "the object of [God's] affection".
I love the chorus most of all. So simple - "the sun will shine on winter snow". No matter how cold hearted, how dark and lost we are, God's light will forever shine on us. He will be continually melting us away, refining us, until he eventually makes us like him.
natethegreat got it right. Its about God's love - unconditional on what we do, forever constant, never failing. Always working on our hearts, refining us as long as we let him, but loving us no matter where we are at.
Beautiful song.
"So cluttered with debris This inefficient melody"
This part hit me hard. I love this song, kinda remindes me of Gloria by B.S.S.
All the (you)s and (your)s should be Capitalized because it's talking about Jesus.
