Said and Done Lyrics

Cover art for Said and Done lyrics by Anberlin

Stephen Christian always has a hidden meaning in his songs. They are rarely obvious. I believe that is the case in this song. He is talking about repentance and the guilt that is felt. Jesus Christ is "wearing me out" because it is hard to live with the guilt of a sin. It wears us out. We also wear Christ down when we sin because he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. At the end of the song is when Christian gives up, loses faith, and moves on.

Stephen likes to put Christian references in his songs but I don't see any in this song (no verbs and what not). But I guess this song can go either way by the way it's written. P.S. I'm agnostic.
