Walk On Water

Blessthefall's song 'Walk On Water' delves into the profound themes of faith, loss, and the human struggle to find meaning in suffering. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of mourning and regret, as the narrator reflects on the death of someone who should not have died. The opening lines, 'We’re reading psalms to the dead / Lighting candles to make amends,' set a somber tone, suggesting a ritualistic attempt to find solace and forgiveness for the departed soul.

The chorus, 'Stop living like you walk on water / Looking down on all those left to drown,' serves as a powerful metaphor for arrogance and the false sense of invincibility that some people carry. It criticizes those who act superior and indifferent to the suffering of others, highlighting the emotional distance and lack of empathy that can exist in human relationships. The narrator's regret is palpable as they wish for 'another day' to alleviate the pain of the lost one, emphasizing the irreversible nature of death and the missed opportunities for reconciliation.

The song also grapples with the concept of faith and divine justice. The repeated plea, 'Son of God, are you listening? / Son of God, can you hear my cry?' questions the presence and benevolence of a higher power in the face of inexplicable loss. This existential questioning reflects a deep sense of betrayal and confusion, as the narrator struggles to understand how a benevolent deity could allow such suffering. The song's raw emotion and introspective lyrics make it a poignant exploration of the human condition, faith, and the enduring impact of loss.
