about

About the song:
We people tend to run in circles,
we are often too proud
to stop doing the same bad, old habits
over and over again.
If we remove our pride,
we know we can't keep ourselves away
from those sins.
We grew entangled with them
and are in need of a Savior,
saving us from the burden
and final consequences
of our sinful acts (criminal deeds),
and saving us from Hell,
the punishment that we do deserve
for our crimes against God and men.
But we are like dogs,
returning to our own vomit
or like pigs returning to our own shit.
As a fake alibi / false excuse
(because of our pride),
we are putting the guilt on God,
while the guilt is ours,
as we drown in our sinful lusts.
They slowly pull us towards Hell.

Bible references:
Be saved from this perverse generation.
- Acts 2:40b (CEB)

Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
- Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV)

The cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers,
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars
shall have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death."
- Revelation 21:8 (NKJV)

Whoever calls
on the Name
of the Lord
Shall be saved.
- Acts 2:21 (NKJV)

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
"Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,"
- Hebrews 3:7-8a (NKJV)

He also did this to demonstrate that he is righteous in the present time, and to treat the one who has faith in Jesus as righteous.
- Romans 3:26b (CEB)

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
- Matthew 6:19-20 (NKJV)

Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
- Revelation 3:17-18

Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
- Revelation 3:20-21

lyrics

Vomit

Like a dog returns to its own vomit (Proverbs 26:11)
Like a pig returns to its own shit (2 Peter 2:22)
Your body returns to dust (Genesis 3:19, Ecclesiastes 12:7)
As your gold gathers rust (James 5:3, Matthew 6:19-20)

Nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
Did men teach us wisdom? (Ecclesiastes 8:17)
In the morning we cry
At midnight we die (Ecclesiastes 9:5; 3:11)

We should heed the curse of death (Romans 6:23, Ecclesiastes 9:5, Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 21:8)
But we curse God instead (Job 2:9)
In everything we can see the Lord's hand (Isaiah 40:28, James 1:5)
But we don't seem to learn and understand (Hebrews 3:7-8a, Proverbs 1:7, James 1:5)

Like a dog returns to its own vomit (Proverbs 26:11)
Like a pig returns to its own shit (2 Peter 2:22)
In everything we can see the Lord's hand (Isaiah 40:28, James 1:5)
Yet we don't seem to understand (Hebrews 3:7-8a, Proverbs 1:7, James 1:5)
