Mixing horns and chords into a harmonious old-school boom bap ballad, "Lunacy" tells of the battle for peace of mind and peace in Christ, all the while dealing with the worries of people, and the fight against sin. "Lunacy" brings to awareness of the constant "circle" that many people think they're always in, along with day-to-day living, while offering a hopeful reminder of the Gospel and Christ's faithfulness.
Lunacy is Macklyn's first attempt at rapping, while completing the track with notes and harmonies.
"Lunacy" is Macklyn's third single and is a part of his upcoming EP "Dialect."
lyrics
VERSE
I been searching all this time for the real Love,
Tried to look in worldly things no I shouldn’t of,
Praise God Hallelujahs was enough of,
Heart far from the king yet my mouth sung,
Blue river, the deer panteth,
but the people are expecting the good shepherd,
I put myself on a pedestal of broken records,
Now my life’s repeating sin, dialect deflected, yo,
A constant grapple to a dark Tomb,
Raiding riches and rewards from a broken womb, unsatisfied,
Yet satisfied in his right hand forevermore,
Holy, Holy, Holy to the king with these broken chords,
I sinned again man I’m sick of this,
I just got angry again with another friend,
A twisted tangle of tangible tastes that leaved me tested,
Wrestling through the mess I thought I beat in 06’,
I’m Superman, you metropolis,
Pride living inside until the cape’s removed and I’m Clark again.
Thoughts congested, I’m redirected, to moments when runs were walks and all my life was God’s, uncontested.
Resting in the cool breeze of his heartbeat,
Not a care in the world, call it a sweet treat,
Once was lost but found,
Now stuck in the shoes of John Does, Mary Sues, Bobby Browns.
But God’s prerogative’s sovereign, allowing pain but giving peace to my mind in the midst of the storm.
To rest my soul in Christ Alone, but it’s hard when... ugh....
Interruptions make they way in my dome. Worries and fears dominate Satan premeditates to kill off my soul bruh,
What a tiring pursuit to be new, to be free, from the things that would lead to Sheol.
Yet it’s better that I’m with you, ain’t nobody got me like you do, you make me brand new,
In the moments of insanity you remind me what I’m dealing with now won’t compare to your glory,
Here I go again, running to the same trends,
House of cards made of man and their opinion,
Wretched man that I am Who will deliver me,
Thanks be to Christ who saves me from my lunacy,
BRIDGE
You keep going round in circles,
Trying to draw a straight line,
Peering deep inside you heart,
To find peace of mind,
Oh you keep going round in circles,
Trying to draw a straight line,
Oh if you keep your eyes above,
There’s so much more you will find
