You kissed me on my cheek goodbye.
But I didn't mean.
Crazy it may seem.
But to me you were never ever unclean.
I know you know I am but even if it's slow.
You're walking away.
You think you are here to stay.
Although your pride have grown.
Legs taking you away.
I wonder for how long you can take.
That image you fake.
Fingers in your ears.
My lips are just moving.
You don't want to hear.
Taking and breaking the things.
That is you and I.
You ask for a goodbye.
Want this part of you to die.
Why do you have to wear that make-up?
I see your thoughts are screaming in my face.
Shut up.
You and I unseparable.
Don't you know.
I didn't come here to judge.
You'll be free and I will make you whole.
Those wounds must hurt.
Let me clean you let me get rid of your bull.
I'll make you full.
That deep down emptiness I'll just blow away.
Because no matter what they say.
You will never be alone with me anyway.
To feel pain ain't a sin.
But it's when you're trying to cover it up.
You hurt me within.
I'll take one step.
Can you take one too?
But I didn't mean.
Crazy it may seem.
But to me you were never ever unclean.
I know you know I am but even if it's slow.
You're walking away.
You think you are here to stay.
Although your pride have grown.
Legs taking you away.
I wonder for how long you can take.
That image you fake.
My lips are just moving.
You don't want to hear.
That is you and I.
You ask for a goodbye.
Want this part of you to die.
Why do you have to wear that make-up?
I see your thoughts are screaming in my face.
Shut up.
Don't you know.
I didn't come here to judge.
You'll be free and I will make you whole.
Those wounds must hurt.
Let me clean you let me get rid of your bull.
I'll make you full.
That deep down emptiness I'll just blow away.
Because no matter what they say.
You will never be alone with me anyway.
To feel pain ain't a sin.
But it's when you're trying to cover it up.
You hurt me within.

Can you take one too?

what a fun song.
its a little reminiscent of their first album
Sounds to me like this song is supposed to be God talking to the lyricist, telling him that he has and continues to forgive him of all his sins. He also stresses that regardless of his attempts to block God out of his life, he untimately comes to the realization that God and himself are and always have been inseparable.
-very truthfull message-
any different opinions?
wow...acerbic heart, i applaude you. that`s an awesome description of this song! never thought about it that way...
I agree with acerbicheart. I think this song is really a beautiful message of how God feels for all of us. "to me you were never ever unclean". no matter how much we sin, God sees us as His children, and when He looks at us, He sees us bathed in Jesus's blood. "I know you know I am, but, even if it's slow, you're walking away." God's saying that He knows this guy believes in Him and knows He's there, but God also sees that this guy is walking away. Maybe slowly, but he's still walking away. "your pride has grown legs taking you away" He's talking about how this guy's pride is taking him slowly away from God. "I wonder for how long you can take that image you fake". I like that part, because i go to school with so many people that love to say they're christian and let everyone know that they're believers, but they don't really. it drives me nuts. anyway, this guy's pride is getting in the way of his ability to hear God's voice because the pride is plugging up his ears. " I hear your thoughts that are screaming in my face, 'shut up, shut up, shut up!'." The thoughts that this guy is having are basically telling God to shut up, because he wants to listen to himself. And the last part of the song needs no interpretation. Man, this song is beautiful. "those wounds must hurt. Let me clean you", "to feel pain ain't a sin, but it's when you're trying to cover it up that you hurt me within". I don't know... it's just beautiful. and to know that there really IS a God that feels this way for someone like me is awesome. better than that, even.
What about the name of the song, Daughter? Am I missing something?
