Young - The Oil (Thick Walls) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1
My heart paint a picture as I walking with my eyes close
Life has a funny way of showing that you have foes
On my knees cause I pray for a better day
Can't understand why the Lord won't make a way
Out the pain to His glory cause I carry scares
I got a burden too bear I got a heavy cross
On that narrow road without a Tara card
Living life smart but I struggle with my unbelief
Flesh won't die so hand him another reef
Looked at me smiled cause he'll back in another week
I am living for myself or the Lord's glory
Keep me in this race when you could just ignore me
Living stone so I'm prone just to stay in-place
Saved by His love you call that His sovereign grace
I got a choice to make behind this make-up
Will I stay asleep or choice to wake up

Dilemma 1

Chorus 2x
The oil is so slick so I'm scared to make a move
Behind these thick walls I am lost in the tomb
Death in my body I am haunted by my memory
Inner me seeking out the love of the enemy

Verse 2
I feel like I'm going crazy double minded man
Talking out my faith like you hear what I'm sayin'
Know that your real cause your spirit gave evidence
But my flesh sold me on the things that seem relevant
Why do I go to it I know that it brings pain
But sin is so sweet as it course through my veins
I'm feeling so strange cause I know I'm doing wrong
And the devil trying to say I can never go home
But your word says different so who I'm to trust
The lust of the flesh or the God who saved us
And that's a no brainer but the shame is still here
An how can I run with this arrow in my rear
The Lord said He's near so who am I to fear
With the Lord in the car it's impossible to veer
But I'm so scare to stir cause I know I got issues
Wipe my tears with the spirit so I live without a tissue

Chorus 2x
The oil is so slick so I'm scared to make a move
Behind these thick walls I am lost in the tomb
Death in my body I am haunted by my memory
Inner me seeking out the love of the enemy

Verse 3
I made my bed but I don't want to lie in it
It's full of thorns and thistles I'll just die in it
I tried to be my own man yeah my own god
But I had an empty house plus a guard dog
Why do I try to do it in my own strength
An get mad at the Lord cause He ain't blessed it
I'm like the dirt on ground or some dry bones
A dog caught in them streets I need a way home
I got stoned for the words that I never said
And that Man on the cross He's already died
Risen, living, homey that's a fear factor
I got work out this faith will I see master
This the story that is told through my family
Walking with your eyes close you headed for calamity
I know the pain is real but you'll never fail
I got a penny for my thoughts so I wish you well

Dilemma 2

Chorus 2x
The oil is so slick so I'm scared to make a move
Behind these thick walls I am lost in the tomb
Death in my body I am haunted by my memory
Inner me seeking out the love of the enemy
