Song Meaning
Jon Foreman builds this song almost entirely from a litany of opposites — death and life, angels and ghosts, the past and the future, hunger and wealth, sickness and health, day and night — stacking them like walls until the repeated refrain knocks them all down: nothing can keep us away, nothing can separate. The middle verse shifts into darker territory, borrowing the psalmist's complaint about facing death all day long and singing a dirge, then turns to address an accuser whose curse has run out. The song doesn't argue its way to confidence; it simply repeats the word "inseparable" until it settles, closing with the specific anchor of the Saviour's love rather than an abstract force. The effect is less a doctrinal lecture than a stubborn chant, the kind of thing you sing when the evidence around you says otherwise.

Not in death or in life
Neither angels nor ghosts
Not the past or the future
Not the highs or the lows
Neither hunger nor wealth
Not in sickness or health
Not the left or the right
Not the day or the night
Nothing can keep us away
Nothing can separate
Nothing can keep us away
Inseparable
We face death all day long
Sang the dirge for a song
Who accuses you now
Now your curse has run out
Nothing can keep us away
Nothing can separate
Nothing can keep us away
Inseparable
Inseparable
Inseparable
Nothing can keep us away
Nothing can separate
Nothing can
Nothing can
Nothing can keep us away
From the love of the Saviour
