Emotion Lyrics

Cover art for Emotion lyrics by Subseven

Subseven is a Christian band, and as a Christian myself, I interpret this song to being the internal conflict we experience as believers to follow the flesh (our selfish desires) or follow the Spirit (God speaking to our spirits by The Holy Ghost).

“Should I just let go - Turn my head say “no” Should I go with flow - Try to take control”

God asks us to deny ourselves (just let go, go with the flow of the Spirit leading us)

“Would it be alright if I tried to deny the Ghost in my life, I don’t feel so right (not so right)”

God gives everyone the free choice to follow His way or our own. As believers when we follow our own way, and live after the flesh, the Spirit convicts our hearts. As we might find satisfaction in the flesh for the moment, there is that little voice in our hearts that convicts us, and then after the flesh is satisfied, there is deep sorrow knowing that we sinned and denied the voice of the Holy Ghost leading us the right way and in doing so have added to the stripes and wounds Jesus Experienced dying on the cross for those sins.

“Through darkness or light - You’ll see me though, Instill in me - what I feel in You”

God is faithful to forgive us and does not give up on us. This is a prayer asking God to reinforce His presence and guidance in the singers heart and give him strength to follow God.

These lyrics I scream - falling down on me These visions and dreams - what’s this I see (in me)? Are you inside my bones - 'cause I feel you strong Everywhere I turn, Omipresent Ghost (you are a ghost)

Again, I see this as a prayer with introspection. The Bible teaches us that God is everywhere (Omnipresent), And here I see the song writer saying that wherever he is he feels the presence of God around him.

Emotion who are you?

The chorus I believe is speaking about introspection and asking what voice it is that he is going to listen to.

I love this song.
