HelioS - Never Let Me Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1
When I record this track, I wanna believe what I spat
That God has got my back and lay my truth on wax
As I grow up now, I look back fondly on my past:
Pre M.L.T, before the cynicism and the raps
Bible verses on my tongue, back then I could do no wrong
Spiritually strong, a crusader among the throng
But right about now, I could barely read a psalm
I see no wrong questioning Jesus’s palms
Sitting in the pews at church, watching the preacher do his thing
Pretending murmurings don’t bubble in my head like submarines
Sequestered in sin, looked at my dusty Bible and felt a twinge
Of guilt, I’ve lost my faith in the dream
Of paradise, let me clarify
For every virtue of mine, there’s a scary vice
I need to clear my eyes and feel his vibe
Resting not within my mind, but instead my heart
What they’ve fed me all this time was just a pack of lies
And finally, I’ve come to realize…
Chorus
When it comes to being true, he’s true to me…
One thing I’ve found, one thing I’ve found
Oh, he’ll never let me down…
Verse 2
Perhaps my loss of faith stems from the people around me
Who drink from the fountain of the supposedly enlightened
That ironically deplore everything that could frighten
Them: so called freed minds who’ve seen light so they decline
Any chance to rewind and see what matters in life
Nah it’s live life to the fullest and never think back
The problem is this creates nihilistic tendencies
In simple English, that’s a carefree attitude about everything
See what I think is, we all realize something’s missing
But some try to cover it up by claiming to think different
And shove it down our throats by the TV or what we’re listening
And what bothers me is not enough people are speaking
Out about it, I’m tired of being the butt
Of your jokes, cause I know what happens when the lid is shut
We either take a stand or get trampled in the dust
This is not the first time they’ve tried to keep us shut
Or tune us out, tell me what makes a good man’s people
Send him to be crucified in exchange for one so evil?
Their tactics might have changed but their goal remains the same
And as Christians, we ought to rise above the refrain
Get up off our couch and walk the lane
Those before shed their blood for to keep the faith
Sometimes I feel lost but God always picks me up
Because simply put, I know he’ll never let me down!
Ending
It’s almost surreal to think about now
But awhile ago
I was failing AP Calculus
And you can’t fail an AP course, especially in your senior year
I wasn’t going to graduate… just because of one class!
Obviously it hit me hard… I spent weeks in a daze
Depressed and sleepy, pessimistic and suicidal
It seemed with each test, I was digging a deeper hole for myself
And having always been good at Math, I wouldn’t call for help
Till by the grace of God, my mom came to visit
She knew in her heart, that something was wrong
And through prayer and hard work, I was victorious
An A- letter grade in my 4th quarter
And even though at the time I rejected God
He never stopped showering me with love
And now I’ve learnt humility
Like the song says HE NEVER LET ME DOWN
I need to clear my eyes and feel his vibe
Resting not within my mind, but instead my heart
