Erase
Hollyn's song is a heartfelt plea to strip away empty religious routines and encounter God authentically, even if that means facing pain. She expresses weariness and anxiety, yet finds rest in the idea of starting fresh with God. The lyrics emphasize a desire for genuine relationship over ritual, and a willingness to follow God into the unknown. The repeated line about erasing religion suggests a longing for a faith that is real and transformative, not just outward observance.
Do you ever dream of
What you could be?
And take a moment to rest?
I've been feeling tired
And I know I'm wired
From all the anxious
In my chest
Erase all of my religion
Erase all of my religion
Introduce me to the pain
Introduce me to the pain
Show me what I've been missing
I'd do it, I'd do it with you
I'd do it, I'd do it for you
I'd do it, I'd do it with you
Forget everything start anew
I'd do it, I'd do it with you
I'd do it, I'd do it for you
I'd do it, I'd do it with you
What if we took our time?
Let's not get ahead of it
What if we skipped the lines
Just for the heck of it?
What if we broke the rules?
Did things they said we couldn't do?
Oh, I do it with you
I'd do it, I'd do it with you, I'd
I'd do it, I'd do it with you
I'd do it, I'd do it with you, I'd
I'd do it'd I'd do it with you
Nobody knows me like you
Nobody knows me like you do
Erase all of my religion
(Erase, erase, erase it all)
Erase all of my religion
(Erase it all, erase it all)
Introduce me to the pain
Introduce me to the pain
Show me what I've been missing
(Show me what I've been missing)
Erase all of my religion
(Erase all of my)
Erase all of my religion
(I don't want it if you ain't in it)
Introduce me to the pain
Introduce me to the pain
Show me what I've been missing
(Show me what I've been)
Show me what I've been missing
