You Mean Self by Tyler Meacham Lyrics
[Verse]
Maybe I don't pray enough
Or I'm living a lie on the run
I've kept it a secret, this love
Like a memory, it's dangerous
[Verse]
What's left of holy these days?
Couldn't find it in church or the state
If I fall in line for my faith
When it's weaponized, no saving face
[Chorus]
What I can't, I can't figure out
If you know the good word well
When you say, you say God
Why you mean, you mean self?
[Verse]
Preacher says God sets you free
Guess that's convenient for me
But what about the mother who grieves
Her son politicized, his brokеn plea?
[Chorus]
What I can't, I can't figure out
If you know the good word wеll
When you say, you say God
Why you mean, you mean self?
You mean self (You mean self)
You mean self
You mean self
[Bridge]
Oh my, oh my God
Have we gone too far?
Oh my, oh my God
Have we gone too far?
[Chorus]
What I can't, I can't figure out
(All contemplation)
If you know the good word well
(Lost in translation)
When you say, you say God
Why you mean, you mean self?
(Lost in translation)
What I can't, I can't figure out (Figure out)
Have we gone too far? (You mean self)
Oh my, oh my God (You mean self)
Have we gone too far?
Maybe I don't pray enough
Or I'm living a lie on the run
I've kept it a secret, this love
Like a memory, it's dangerous
[Verse]
What's left of holy these days?
Couldn't find it in church or the state
If I fall in line for my faith
When it's weaponized, no saving face
[Chorus]
What I can't, I can't figure out
If you know the good word well
When you say, you say God
Why you mean, you mean self?
[Verse]
Preacher says God sets you free
Guess that's convenient for me
But what about the mother who grieves
Her son politicized, his brokеn plea?
[Chorus]
What I can't, I can't figure out
If you know the good word wеll
When you say, you say God
Why you mean, you mean self?
You mean self (You mean self)
You mean self
You mean self
[Bridge]
Oh my, oh my God
Have we gone too far?
Oh my, oh my God
Have we gone too far?
[Chorus]
What I can't, I can't figure out
(All contemplation)
If you know the good word well
(Lost in translation)
When you say, you say God
Why you mean, you mean self?
(Lost in translation)
What I can't, I can't figure out (Figure out)
Have we gone too far? (You mean self)
Oh my, oh my God (You mean self)
Have we gone too far?
