Crucify Lyrics
Father watch me fall
Witness my mistakes
I have lost it all
I'm about to break
Before the sound of dawn
I turned my back on you
The life in me was gone
My consciousness withdrew
Fear... Tormenting me
Guilt... Won't let me be
I chose a different way
But there's nowhere I could hide
From one end of the world
To the other side
I've never felt as cold
As I do today
There's nothing here to hold
No reason I should stay
Crucify... Resist, deny
Kill the pain that dwells inside
Send your word
From on high
So this part of me will die
Can you hear my thoughts
I know what I have done
You are all I've got
And I don't want to run
Surrender to your will
From the ashes I am new
Your presence is revealed
Showing all that's true
Fear... Tormenting me
Guilt... Won't let me be
Crucify... Resist, deny
Kill the pain that dwells inside
Send your word
From on high
So this part of me will die
Crucify... Resist, deny
Kill the pain that dwells inside
Send your word
From on high
So this part of me will die
Witness my mistakes
I have lost it all
I'm about to break
I turned my back on you
The life in me was gone
My consciousness withdrew
Guilt... Won't let me be
But there's nowhere I could hide
From one end of the world
To the other side
As I do today
There's nothing here to hold
No reason I should stay
Kill the pain that dwells inside
Send your word
From on high
So this part of me will die
I know what I have done
You are all I've got
And I don't want to run
From the ashes I am new
Your presence is revealed
Showing all that's true
Guilt... Won't let me be
Kill the pain that dwells inside
Send your word
From on high
So this part of me will die
Kill the pain that dwells inside
Send your word
From on high
So this part of me will die

I know it's something Biblical, but I don't think it's about Jesus.
When reading it, I instantly thought of Jonah, and how he tried to escape God's plan for him to witness to the people of Nineveh.
"I chose a different way But there's nowhere I could hide From one end of the world To the other side" This talks about how he ran away to the ship to try to escape God.
"Can you hear my thoughts I know what I have done You are all I've got And I don't want to run" This refers to Jonah deciding to be cast into the ocean.
Even the chorus relates to the Jonah story. "Send your word From on high So this part of me will die"
Well this is obviosly about Jesus
What's with the St. Peter references?
Actually this sounds most like it's talking about Peter after he denied Christ. . Father watch me fall, Witness my mistakes, I have lost it all, I'm about to break Before the sound of dawn, I turned my back on you, The life in me was gone, My consciousness withdrew Fear, Tormenting me, Guilt, Won't let me be . This sets up making a mistake. The sound of dawn is the rooster crowing. Now he has fear and guilt. . I chose a different way, But there's nowhere I could hide, From one end of the world, To the other side I've never felt as cold, As I do today, There's nothing here to hold, No reason I should stay
. More about how he feels. Referance to the "end of" and "other side" of the world are just expanding on how there's nowhere to hide from God. . Crucify (This is what happened to Christ) Resist, deny (This is what Peter did) Kill the pain that dwells inside (Peter is pleading with God) Send your word, From on high So this part of me will die (The pain, fear and guilt) . Surrender to your will (God's will, Peter did) From the ashes I am new Your presence is revealed (When you surrender to God and rise as a new being, God's presence is revealed) Showing all that's true (And you realize it's all true) .
