Lyrical Theology Thursday: Flame ft. Shai Linne – “To My Heart”
Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by William Jacobson in Music, Theology
Welcome back everyone! This week features one of my favorite songs of all time. This track is simply amazing. Flame and Shai Linne take us on a very interesting journey. In this song “To my heart”, Flame is having a conversation with his heart played by Shai Linne. Flame is expressing his struggle with sin and the deceitfulness of his heart. He wants to quit sinning but his heart continues to deceive him. When the heart begins his rebuttal, you will hear him speak and twist truth so eloquently. I can relate to this message too well. I love the creativeness of these gentleman and the gift they are to the church. Please listen once, twice or as many times as you want. Why would you want to “follow your heart” when Jeremiah 17:9 tells us how wicked it is?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick, who can understand it? -Jeremiah 17:9
Verse 1: Flame
I thought I could trust you but dawg I’m disgusted/
I thought you were innocent/
‘Til I read the 5th verse in the 6th chapter of Genesis/
Since it’s been nothin’ but inconsistency in my life/
I hate you I wish I can take you and break you tonight/
Because I’m tired of your suggestions/
I’m tired of all your reflections/
I’m tired of you sayin’ sex is the best way to ease pain/
Insinuating I should sin in a situation you similar to Satan ever since Eve came/
And Adam sinned now within I enter a battlefield/
Injured filled up with sin and I’m bound to bust like a bladder will/
Why do you torture me/
Often caught up in forgery/
Signing my name on sins that I knew I shouldn’t have committed/
Feel like I’m losin’ I’m choosin’ all of the foolishness/
Disturbing my peace like you ludicrous/
Feel like forget it/
But I’m a fight you because I really don’t really like you/
Invite you? I’ll never trust you again
Hook:
I’ll never trust you again/
And if I ever trust you again just know its just the lust that’s within/
It’s just the wrestle within/
But when He comes to rescue His men/
You’ll never ever sucker me in/
No never ever again/
My greatest enemy pretends to be friends/
But it’s the inner me that needs to be cleansed/
Since we’ve seen the second person with in the Trinity win/
Marked the day of my enemies end/
I’ll never trust you again
Verse 2: shai linne
Chill with the sob story and give God glory/
I’m feelin’ your conviction but what you spittin’ is really fiction/
Inaccurate depiction not based on holy inscription/
So listen to my diction to get my proper description/
Imagine a cave and there your mind, emotion, and desire/
After your saved is where you’ll find devotion to Messiah/
Conflicted desires collided inside its divided/
But God can unite it provided you desire to fight it/
You actin’ all surprised you got a wretchedly mind/
Like you ain’t read Jeremiah 17:9/
We both know what Adam did to us in the garden B/
Your still suppose to love the Lord your God with all of me/
I’m called a heart but see I’m not a bodily artery/
Pardon me but honestly you were improperly guarding me/
Cause whether it’s the T.V. or CD/
Or DVD easily I’d speedily greedily eat what you feedin’ me/
If you ain’t buildin’ me up you knockin’ me down/
Which makes your deeds come from a heart of darkness like apocalypse now/
The best advice I can give you is learn about mortification/
The Lord is so patient He’ll bring you to glorification/
You ought to respect the grace the architect the plan/
If water reflects the face the heart reflects the man/
So to sum it up the point I’m comin’ to Flame/
Not trustin’ me is not trustin’ you because we’re one in the same/
Verse 3: Flame
Yeah, yeah I know we one in the same/
And I know that I’m wrong for shiftin’ the blame/
But what I’m sayin’ is if you tell me to sin/ never again will I trust you again
