COUNTING CROWS

- Mercy Lyrics

I got a feeling of unrighteousness,
bitter cold and hollow bitterness,
Down the road, I walk with loneliness,
Mercy will follow me I'm told.

My sister sang, songs so sweet and sad,
'Bout a man, who's love I never had,
There's a train, bound for Gillian?
Mercy will follow me I'm told,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
'Til my final breath at last I take,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
'Til the chains of this old world I finally break.
Under this skin, there lies a heart of stone,
It's growing old, so very far, from home,
But a heart of gold, I may someday own?
And mercy will follow me, I'm told,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
Until the final breath at last I take,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
'Til the chain of this old world I finally break,
'Til the chains of this old world I finally break,
'Til the chains of this old world I finally break.

What is the meaning behind Mercy lyrics?


When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, the Counting Crows track 'Mercy' is a consideration of loneliness, yearning, and the redemptive quest. Through the lyrics, one can feel the struggle and emotional wall between them, which fortunately, the metaphor of the journey towards liberation from the weights of the past has helped to make visible. The contemplation of Mercy lyrics is about mainly the negative part of human experience, such as: reflection, angst, solitude, heartbreak, and despair. However, the song also points out the contrary aspects of life, the necessity of loneliness and yearning, the relentless quest for mercy and redemption, the fight and hope. The lyrics depict loneliness and longing themes that may possibly need parental guidance for younger kids. Nonetheless, the song does not contain any direct mention of violence, drug use, or coarse language, thus, it can still be categorized as PG.
