Rapture Lyrics - Hurt
Review The Song (7)
In the life of the wrong a love lingered on,
Love lingered on to frustration.
And if our love is so wrong, what should we do alone?
Or am I just a picture in a photograph?
Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died?
One who would not deny lovers?
And I don't care what they say, if what you need is your faith,
Then take a look at my face and know
That till your rapture falls to pieces
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things like suffering
Life had gone this way
Life is gone this way
Still in the life of the wrong we all moved along
Another life evolved to gestation
And so we made our way with the mistake we made
But she was just a picture from a photograph
So she walked in the baby's room
Knowing what she should do leaves me in
Absolute horror
She put her hand on its lips and gave it
One last kiss
And sang some tune that went
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things like suffering
And I would and I would, destroy your god
Yes I would if I could destroy your god
Because you're born again
Until you're worn again,
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
But, if this must be, then burn with me
Anything
Just don't leave
So find in me the room to breathe
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces
She swore she heard the voice of Jesus
Telling her it was wrong to keep it
And one more thing, it looked like me
Back when it breathed
Rest in peace
Under the rapture comes to meet us
Love lingered on to frustration.
And if our love is so wrong, what should we do alone?
Or am I just a picture in a photograph?
Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died?
One who would not deny lovers?
And I don't care what they say, if what you need is your faith,
Then take a look at my face and know
That till your rapture falls to pieces
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things like suffering
Life had gone this way
Life is gone this way
Still in the life of the wrong we all moved along
Another life evolved to gestation
And so we made our way with the mistake we made
But she was just a picture from a photograph
So she walked in the baby's room
Knowing what she should do leaves me in
Absolute horror
She put her hand on its lips and gave it
One last kiss
And sang some tune that went
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things like suffering
And I would and I would, destroy your god
Yes I would if I could destroy your god
Because you're born again
Until you're worn again,
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
But, if this must be, then burn with me
Anything
Just don't leave
So find in me the room to breathe
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces
She swore she heard the voice of Jesus
Telling her it was wrong to keep it
And one more thing, it looked like me
Back when it breathed
Rest in peace
Under the rapture comes to meet us

Don't Be So Literal | Reviewer: Joe | 11/28/11
This song (i.e. poem) is an allegory. Yes, it depicts the horror of a woman murdering her child born out of wedlock with a godless father, because she heard the voice of Jesus telling her it was the right thing to do. And that meaning is far too obvious and straightforward to stand alone.
From an atheist's perspective, this is allegorical to trying to lead someone you love into liberation from their religion, and no sooner than they "see the light," they turn around and re-embrace (are "born again") their faith out of fear. Freedom is born of their love in this song, freedom gestating within her, and then she murders it because "she thought she heard the voice of Jesus."
Perhaps I'm reading more into it than is there, but then that's the beauty of poetry.
Rapture | Reviewer: Mina | 8/23/11
Although the song never refers to it, lyrics like 'it looked like me' and discussion on how the love was wrong imply to me that the woman was married to another man. Children born out of wedlock are wrong according to many religions, but adultery is also a huge mark. The song, to me, seems like a man is singing about the married woman he fell in love with and impregnated, and she couldn't live with her sin and the fact that she bore a child who looked like her lover (rather than her husband).
Rapture | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/19/10
Obviously the man is atheist, he was in love with a born again christian woman, and she felt the relationship was unholy/wrong, and during unsafe sex they had a bastard child, who the woman said Jesus told her was wrong to allow to live, so she killed it after walking into it's room, kissing it and singing a prayer. Much to the man's horror. And obviously when it was alive it resembled the man thus the lyrics "And one more thing, it looked like me, back when it breathed, rest in peace. Until the rapture...comes to meet us." this song is so hard core, even though I am christian, I feel that it was sad that the woman killed the baby... she could've... I dunno come up with some alternative, had it baptized or something.
meaning, IMO | Reviewer: Katie | 1/12/10
It's written from the perspective of an atheist man in a relationship with a born-again Christian woman. They love each other, but she feels their relationship is wrong, likely because they're having sex outside of marriage, or maybe because he doesn't believe in God.
They get pregnant and keep the baby. But after the baby is born, she kills it, much to the father's horror. She believed that God told her she should kill the baby, but the father is obviously horrified and mourns his lost child.
I get the sense that he's still in love with the mother, but directs his anger to her god and her religion instead. We also don't know if they're still together, or if she's still alive.
Duh | Reviewer: Ryan | 12/3/09
It talks about a woman that kills her already-born child:
So she walked in the baby's room
Knowing what she should do leave me in
Absolute horror
She put her hand on its lip she gave it
One last kiss
And sang some tune that went
On a side note, this was inspired by a woman that actually killed her son. She thought that "God was telling her to do it"
rapture review | Reviewer: levi | 6/23/09
in my opinion, it is about a woman that decides to get an abortion. the way that the artist portrays it is that she kills a babe that would have looked like him. the rapture means the end and i think that it is the end of the babies life for which the artist portrays it.
Emotion | Reviewer: Mark | 12/5/07
There's a lot of emotion in this song, I just love it... The instrumentals, the vocals, the lyrics, everything is perfect...
