| The Choir - Restore my soul - Graphically Poetic, pretty easy to understand, but worthy of discussion. Do you see anything deeper in the illustrations ? What's your take ? I call to you With one lung exploded From breathing the dust of the earth With my tongue eroded From licking the crust of the earth A tear away from reconciled A prayer away from whole Restore my soul...
I cry to you With two eardrums blistered From laughing with preachers of night With my vertebrae twisted From dancing with creatures of night A day away from sanctified A breath away from whole Restore my soul...
I crawl to you With ten fingers smoking From turning the pages of sin With my spirit choking From earning the wages of sin A bridge away from justified A step away from whole Restore my soul... | |

| What stands out to me (and probably really obvious to everyone else)...is the sinner searching/longing for Christ. He has choked on the sinful earth, and longs to be delivered from the wicked sinfulness of this "world" because it is killing him. _________________ "I used to be indecisive..........

| Agreed. The person in the song has hit the bottom and is wanting to rise up and realizes that Christ is their only hope--thus the "call/cry/crawl to You". They are seeking refuge in Jesus at their lowest point of desperation. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| Very cool interpretations. Right on ! I see the aspects of taste, hear and touch - experienced the world, sowed to the flesh and reaped destruction as the Word says. He's just a prayer, breath and step away from that which could free him from his low state. - Quote :

Hey, we may have rubbed shoulders and never knew it ! Not sure how long ago you were here, but Yucca is Yucca... improved? idk. We recently got a new(er) Rite Aid and a Sonic. Crime is about the same (Sheriff calls in the newspaper are about 70% "psychiatric intervention" and 30% drugs)...Despite it all, I love this area and couldn't imagine living anywhere else in the world (ok except maybe Hawaii). Semper Fi and thank you for your service. | |
