[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
[Verse 1]
Know I’ve done wrong
I left your heart torn
Is that what devils do? 22
Took you so low
Where only fools go
I shook the angel in you 23
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m rising from the ground
Rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I found
There’s nothing I can’t do! 24
[Chorus]
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
Can you love me again? 25
[Verse 2]
It’s unforgivable
I stole and burnt your soul
Is that what demons do? 26
They rule the worst of me
Destroy everything
They bring down angels like you 27
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
Bridge]
I told you once again
Do this again, do this again oh lord
I told you once again
Do this again, do this again oh no 28
[Chorus]
0John Newman starts by showing the state of his mind, that of one torn by anguish to a perceived wrong doing, such that he asks if he could be the devil himself.
He sings that this girl was so good but through his actions he pushed her through so much hurt that it caused her to change.
John shows here that even at her lowest, she is still better than him and she seems to be helping him up. At this point he has cast away his evil tendencies enough for him to consider himself worthy of her love again.
He is asking if there is still some redemption for him and if she can accept his hand once again. He seems ready to anything and everything that she will ask to get back in her good graces.
John considers himself to be beyond redemption because of the anguish he caused her, his actions by reflection, make him think of himself as a demon as it is hard to imagine how another human being can hurt another so bad.
John believes that he is possessed by these demons, which cause him to act in ways that he otherwise wouldn’t. He could have cheated on her, abused her, lied to her or other such actions that can break a relationship.
John’s lamentations are further noted in these lines as he begs the good lord to let him be loved again by his angel. This shows his deep remorse of whatever he had done.
