[Verse 1] Ashes of potential I’m afraid to let them down Inconsistent wonder I will die to keep this crown [Pre-Chorus] Tell me just one thing Will I always measure my weight in gold? When I am an old king Will I be alone in my castle cold? [Chorus] Just a sometimes phoenix Burning through castles of clouds Just a sometimes phoenix Above or below, I am alone here Alone here [Verse 2] Destined to be distant I'll come home when I'm complete I'm finishing my statues I'm sculpting all my selfish dreams [Pre-Chorus] Tell me just one thing Will I always measure my weight in gold? When I am an old king Will I be alone in my castle cold? [Chorus] Just a sometimes phoenix Burning through castles of clouds Just a sometimes phoenix Above or below, I am alone here [Bridge] I'm soaring now, adrift in sound The silence grows, it fills my soul I miss my home, I miss myself I want to land, I want to be But I can't escape Aching with pride Castles of clouds I need to climb Out of control Spiraling dive Flames in a flash Burning the sky [Outro] Cold from the crash Grounded but free Embers of birth Rising in me Cold from the crash Humbled and free A witness to your Pure poetry
Hard to let a day go by without playing this, either in my head or here on RUclips. Love the work you guys put into all of your songs to make them true masterpieces that can help Christians like myself get through the day and keep my mind focused on Him.
Is it weird I imagined someone speeding down the highway while listening to this before reading your comment? 😅 I kinda want to make an animated music video now…
Think like the ongoing process of sanctification. Sometimes we are burning alive and being reborn from our old flesh and sin and loving in the heat of God, and other times we're stuck dead in our sin, waiting for the fire to come back. The end of this song sounds like giving into selfish gain and effort, only then to be grateful to crash back to the reality of humility before God, blessed to fall back to dependence on Him.
No offense, but you're both wrong. A lot of this album, including this song, depicts the fallout at Mars Hill in Seattle. "Sometimes Phoenix" was Mark Driscoll's periodic hideout that eventually became his new home. Do you get it now? Listen to the song through that lense.
“Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility.”
Proverbs 18:12 NKJV
[Verse 1]
Ashes of potential
I’m afraid to let them down
Inconsistent wonder
I will die to keep this crown
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?
[Chorus]
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning through castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above or below, I am alone here
Alone here
[Verse 2]
Destined to be distant
I'll come home when I'm complete
I'm finishing my statues
I'm sculpting all my selfish dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me just one thing
Will I always measure my weight in gold?
When I am an old king
Will I be alone in my castle cold?
[Chorus]
Just a sometimes phoenix
Burning through castles of clouds
Just a sometimes phoenix
Above or below, I am alone here
[Bridge]
I'm soaring now, adrift in sound
The silence grows, it fills my soul
I miss my home, I miss myself
I want to land, I want to be
But I can't escape
Aching with pride
Castles of clouds
I need to climb
Out of control
Spiraling dive
Flames in a flash
Burning the sky
[Outro]
Cold from the crash
Grounded but free
Embers of birth
Rising in me
Cold from the crash
Humbled and free
A witness to your
Pure poetry
