lirik lagu shantéh - bridges
[intro ~ poet luo]
i remember when you entered my life
it was when uncle got tired of playing games on the mega drive
and switched up the mood
from pg to x~rated
the first time i encountered you
you looked beautiful
you stranger
devil in a blue dress
you parasite, that i can’t seem to get rid of now
so i wrote you a letter
see it as a poem, see it as my divorce papers
see it as you will
just take in my words
[verse 1 ~ shantéh]
i see you’ve come back to haunt me again
i nevеr wanted this for myself
tried to closе my eyes to you
cos you’re bad for my health
you’ve got a good grip that takes more than a good grip just to pry it off
so it’s hard to breathe
i need release
release from your hands around my neck
you’ve got a bad way of luring me in but making me feel ashamed
so it’s hard to see
myself released
released from your way, what is next?
pre~chorus
why do you keep haunting me?
i’m tryna cross these bridges but you’re lighting fires under my feet
[chorus]
but it was him that i needed
it was only him i ever needed
it was him that i needed
but it was only him i ever
it was him that i
it was only him i ever needed, yeah
it was him that i needed
but it was only him i ever needed (no leavin’)
it was him that i
but it was only him i ever needed
[rise ~ ruth~ellen]
i want you
i need you
more of you forever and a day
a day
i want you
i need you
more of you forever and always (always, yeah)
i want you
i need you
more of you forever and always
yeah
[verse 2 ~ shantéh]
i know you’re here just to mess my mind
why did find me at a young age?
i’ve cried and tried to be loosed
but since you came in nothing’s been the same
you’ve got a good grip that takes more than a good grip just to pry it off
so it’s hard to breathe
i need release
release from your hands around my neck
you’ve got a bad way of luring me in but making me feel ashamed
so it’s hard to see
myself released
released from your way, what is next?
[pre~chorus]
why do you keep haunting me?
i’m tryna cross these bridges but you’re lighting a fire under my feet
[chorus]
but it was him that i needed
it was him that i needed
but it was only him i ever needed (no leavin’)
it was him that i
but it was only him i ever needed, yeah
it was him that i needed
it was him i needed (no leavin’)
cos it was only him i ever
it was him that i needed, yeah
i’m tryna cross these bridges but you’re lighting a fire under my feet…
[outro ~ poet luo]
so the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. the trouble is with me, for i am all too human, a slave to sin. i don’t really understand myself, for i want to do what is right, but i don’t do it. instead, i do what i hate. but if i know that what i am doing is wrong, this shows that i agree that the law is good. so i am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. and i know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. i want to do what is right, but i can’t. i want to do what is good, but i don’t. i don’t want to do what is wrong, but i do it anyway. but if i do what i don’t want to do, i am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. i have discovered this principle of life—that when i want to do what is right, i inevitably do what is wrong. but there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. this power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. oh, what a miserable person i am! who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? thank god! the answer is in jesus christ our lord. so you see how it is: in my mind i really want to obey god’s law, but because of my sinful nature i am a slave to sin
(romans 7:14~21, 23~25 nlt)
