Beautiful lyrics... This is a very personal song, you can tell it comes from the heart. The Fight is against the flesh against sin
"Faults
have weighed on my confidence
The years
have stolen my innocence
It's hard
to pay the price for this
Tonight
could be the last to spend"
He is being honest and admits what caused him to get away from God. Even acknowledges that it's hard to suffer the consequences and is aware that like that it could be the last night.
"Now I'm
I'm looking for ways to hide
from the walls
between every voice inside
I'm caught
It's something I can't describe
So I
I wait just for you tonight"
When someone is in sin, our first human reaction is to try to hide. He even says how he hears voices inside (remorse, the devil tries to convince us that we can stand in God) So he just waits..
"Maybe hope
will buy us another day
and time
will fix what I can't erase
But it all
feels millions of miles away
And I
don't think I'll get there anyway"
He hopes that God will buy him another day, because who has control over time and life other than Him? He admits he cant erase his past or his sins, and thinks he cant get there anyway (many times we think that sin is too big to overcome)
although his thoughts are that he wont get there, he asks God:
"Can you change my thoughts around?
And I pray you'll stay for now (who else do we pray to other than God?)
Can you save what's breaking down?"
Just see me through the night (most difficult time of the day)
Just see me through the fight (see me through this constant struggle of flesh)
"Somehow" (We dont know God's ways but he asks him to do it somehow)
Love mutemath, and even if they didnt write it out to God, i take it that way because i can relate to is. I know many will disagree but its my take on this song's meaning. God bless!
