about

At some point in time, I think we have all experienced a time where someone has perpetually hurt us (be it abuse or otherwise) and knew it was time to say "enough," stand up to them and even separate from their presence.

There are plenty of songs in my back catalogue that highlight the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation, so don't think I'm all about severing ties and nothing else, but this song is for those who have had enough and are ready to get away from the hurt.

Another big part of the message of "Drag Me Down" is at the end of the second verse, "Finding my place inside the family of the Son of God who gave His life for me." There is a lot that can be done that can contribute to our healing and knowing that, in Christ Jesus, the Lord has a high opinion of us that doesn't change, He loves us, and will never reject us. Identifying with that love and that belonging can inoculate us from the opinions of other people, and can help protect us from carrying hurt around with us that was dealt to us by others.

lyrics

Sick of all of the games you play
With the bait and the switch you say
Your attempts to manipulate
I’m prepared to defenestrate

I don’t care who you are to me
I’ll make sure that all our ties are severed clean
No matter what, you still refuse to see
How your words have become my pillory

All the words you say
As I walk away
Are falling to the ground
I’ll break from your chain
And forsake the pain
Cause you’ll only drag me down

All the time underneath your lies
Building pressure behind me eyes
Stuck around cause I couldn’t see
Past the blame that you placed on me

I have a new identity
And you're not the one to define me
Finding my place inside the family
Of the Son of God who gave His life for me
