I didn't know these things that I could do
I didn't know how much I could lose
Why did I forget so easily
Why couldn't I see I had everything
But you saw more
You saw my deepest part
With the light of a thousand stars
You saw them, awake in me
And through your eyes
You show me everything
You woke me up inside
Brought back to life
I lost myself
Now I breathe again
Like a poet without pain
Like a beauty without rage
Like an innocence without a life to save
Like a hope without a faith
Like your eyes without a face
Like an instinct with no other life to take
It's beauty and rage
It's beauty and rage
It's beauty and rage
It's beauty and rage
But you saw more
You saw my deepest part
With the light of a thousand stars
You saw them awaken me
And through your eyes
You showed me everything
You woke me up inside
I'm back to life, I lost myself
Now I breathe again
I didn't know how much I could lose
Why did I forget so easily
Why couldn't I see I had everything
You saw my deepest part
With the light of a thousand stars
You saw them, awake in me
You show me everything
You woke me up inside
Brought back to life
I lost myself
Now I breathe again
Like a beauty without rage
Like an innocence without a life to save
Like a hope without a faith
Like your eyes without a face
Like an instinct with no other life to take
It's beauty and rage
It's beauty and rage
It's beauty and rage
You saw my deepest part
With the light of a thousand stars
You saw them awaken me
You showed me everything
You woke me up inside
I'm back to life, I lost myself
Now I breathe again

They are a Christian band. Most of their lyrics are about Jesus and being saved.
It’s about a man who once walked with God but walked away now realizing that he is capable of superficial living. But, he now sees that it will cost him more than he thought. He forgot that God had provided him with all that he needed.
Then God, who sees his deepest parts, the dark selfish parts, as clear as if it were illuminated with a thousand stars, awaken in him. God wakes him up, gives him new a life (I lost myself and now I breathe again) and shows him that He (God) is willing to again provided him with all his needs.
The bridging analogies, Poet w/o Pain, Beauty w/o Rage, etc are examples of out of context superficialities. ie. A Poet w/o Pain is just words with no emotion to back them up. Beauty w/o Rage is only surface substance with no Passion to drive it and so on…
The new life in God is Beauty AND Rage. It’s the complete package; Joy and Passion, Words and emotion, Faith and Freedom, Sacrifice and Salvation.
I lost myself and now I breathe again!
