Lyrical Analysis of...
Corinthians III
- [Intro: Erykah Badu]
- This bitter land
- Watered with my soul
- The fruit it bears
- Leaves me so cold
- This bitter land
- Does nothing for love
- This bitter land
- Brings pain from above, oh oh
- To truly start this off, at first I must acknowledge
- I may be a follower of God but even I'm for the scorning
- Every morning I wake up a sinner
- My heart spread apart to pay penance with my organs
- I'm forever blessed to curse, get forgiveness for my urge
- Jesus paid with his blood and I spend it like a purse
- Forgetful of the promises I made through the pledge of my words
- God forgive me...
- I have so many people trying to discredit me
- I should be better, but nonetheless I sink ever deep
- Into the mouth of my ego but a man seeks what he dreams
- And I dream of better things than I have
- But waste not, want not, try to be a better man
- Less bitter, but that's like seeking disaster
- 'Cos I can never come to terms with my shortfalls
- I tread upon an Earth deserved of much more
- Much less a man submerged in a tug war...
- Blood is thicker than water
- We live in dark times where good is more infrequent than war is
- To a point where the Dawn brings misery
- Dusk breaks open the abyss
- The light and dark are blemished in this symmetry
- Heads hit pillows to only think of what the Dawn brings with it, see
- Truth hurts and often it cuts like a knife
- Robert Frost In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life
- ..."It goes on"
- No matter what tribulations come
- Whatever storm has drawn
- With God's will, we go on...
- And in God we trust
- Faith in a father
- Not many things are as great or as marvelous
- The child in us often grows weak
- Can't stand on my own feet, I retreat into the darkness
- Even fewer songs are so sweet as a mother's to tempt me to be a part of it
- And self acceptance is like a mountain trek
- That I can't join but I watch everyone else's venture
- To the top, my eyes spread the line
- My mind just takes them as my canaries in the mine
- Selfish thoughts hope that they fall to join me once more in despise
- Of ourselves in this never ending Hell
- Is life this bad or am I just condemning this to myself
- ...It's a bitter land made only for bitter men
- Mountain tops were destined for better men
- Aware of themselves and accepted whatever hand
- They were dealt in this...
- [Verse 2: Erykah Badu]
- This bitter land is far too real
- This bitter land, it does not heal
- Cause in the land skies are grey
- But we fight the storms that come our way
- A boy who strives to be a man
- Must push to lead with all he can
- Oh, this bitter land
- Oh, bitter land
- Oh, oh, oh, oooh
- This bitter land, can't stop my fight
- This bitter land
