Help Me Faith (Choir Version)

The song 'Help Me Faith (Choir Version)' from Far Cry 5 is a poignant exploration of a person's life journey, marked by innocence, struggle, and a desperate plea for salvation. The lyrics begin with the narrator reminiscing about their childhood, a time of innocence and adherence to family rules. This period is depicted as a time of simplicity and unawareness of the world's harsh realities. The phrase 'innocent eyes' and the mention of playing with friends evoke a sense of nostalgia and lost purity.

As the narrator grows older, they find themselves trapped by invisible shackles, symbolizing societal expectations, personal failures, and internal conflicts. The lyrics 'Heart never loved / And my soul couldn't laugh' highlight a life devoid of joy and love, overshadowed by hate and confusion. This middle phase of life is characterized by a struggle to find one's path amidst overwhelming negativity and emotional turmoil.

In the final verses, the narrator reaches old age, burdened by sin and regret. The imagery of 'locked my soul in the dark' and 'crawled towards the gate' suggests a life lived in spiritual darkness, culminating in a desperate cry for redemption. The repeated plea 'Help me Faith' serves as a cry for divine intervention, seeking protection from sorrow, fear, sadness, and madness. The song's recurring request to be led to 'the bliss' underscores a longing for peace and salvation, a desire to escape the burdens of a troubled life and find solace in faith.

The choir version of the song adds a layer of communal yearning, as the collective voices amplify the emotional weight of the narrator's plea. This version emphasizes the universal nature of the struggle for redemption and the hope for divine guidance in times of despair.
