WITHIN TEMPTATION

- The Cross Lyrics

Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away
You've washed your hands, you've made that all too clear
You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see, you're denying me
The cross I bear but you don't seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name, my dear

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your life

Release me from this cross after all these years
Oh, call my name and help me with this weight
Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, oh I wonder

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

Why? Why?

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, oh I wonder

In my heart, I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

What is the meaning behind The Cross lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the track 'The Cross' from Within Temptation talks about betrayal and the wish to be accepted from someone who has rejected and denied the truth. The text reveals the suffering of a person who is not heard and waiting for a reunion, which is illustrated by the mentions of Judas and the carrying of a cross, thus representing the mighty emotional fight for connection and comprehension. The cross words mostly depict sorrowful love, angst, despair, and the process of thinking. Meanwhile, the music focuses on the interplay of longing, love, and denial on the one hand, and truth, burden, and release on the other. The lyrics are rich in emotional struggle and denial themes, examples of which might not be suitable for children younger than eight years without the monitoring of a parent. However, there isn't any strong language, violence, or explicit content that could make the song justify a higher rating.
