Redemption

Besomorph's song "Redemption" delves into the complex emotions of a person who feels irreparably damaged and misunderstood. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is seen as a 'beautiful disaster,' a person whose past traumas and scars are not easily erased or hidden. The repeated line, 'somethings never change,' underscores the idea that despite efforts to heal or change, the core of their pain and identity remains the same. This person is aware of the impact they have on others, causing pain and confusion, yet they also recognize that attempts to 'save' or 'fix' them are futile.

The song explores themes of self-preservation and the futility of seeking redemption from external sources. The protagonist has stopped asking for forgiveness, understanding that true change and redemption cannot be forced or given by others. The line 'Only fools tread where the angels fear to go' suggests that those who try to get too close are naive, not understanding the depth of the protagonist's struggles. The imagery of 'turning into stone' signifies a defensive mechanism, a way to protect oneself from further hurt and judgment.

Culturally, the song taps into the universal struggle of dealing with inner demons and the societal pressure to conform to a 'fixed' or 'healed' version of oneself. The metaphor of 'moths to a flame' illustrates how people are drawn to the protagonist's allure, only to be burned by the reality of their pain. The repeated assertion that 'redemption never came' highlights a sense of hopelessness and resignation, a recognition that some wounds are too deep to be healed by external validation or efforts. This song resonates with anyone who has felt misunderstood or pressured to change in ways that are not true to their core self.
