Song Meaning

The song opens with a plea to be found in darkness, a place the singer calls home, asking for a voice that reaches into the night wind and settles in the bones. From there it traces a life of chasing false gods, reaping what was sown, and crawling through hard knocks abandoned and alone. The chorus turns on a repeated 'no more,' a decisive break from exile as pride is surrendered and blindness acknowledged. The singer declares belonging—'I am yours and you are mine'—and asks hope to unwind. A later verse admits the attempt to hide built-in pain and the illusion of being the hero while wearing thin; the heart is a wildfire, troubles like wind, and a chronic holy war that could never be won. The bridge shifts to a moment of being seen: a bleeding heart, a barren and torn soul, a mind full of thorns, and then a clear horizon calling the singer ashore. The closing repeats the chorus, sealing the end of exile. It's a song about coming home from self-imposed distance, where confession and belonging replace striving.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Find me in the darkness
Where I call home
Speak into the night wind
So I feel it in my bones

Been chasing after false gods
Reaping what I’ve sown
Crawling through some hard knocks
Abandoned and alone

No more, no more

An exile
Gave up my pride
I’ve been so blind
No more, no more
I am yours
And you are mine
Let hope unwind
No more, no more
An exile
No more, no more

I thought that I could hide away
This pain that's built in
I thought I was the hero
But I was wearing thin

My heart was like a wildfire
My troubles like the wind
In a chronic state of holy war
That I could never win

No more, no more

An exile
Gave up my pride
I’ve been so blind
No more, no more
I am yours
And you are mine
Let hope unwind
No more, no more

Oh, you knew my heart was bleeding
My barren soul was torn
My mind was full of thorns
Oh, I see the horizon clearly
It’s calling me ashore
And now I’m no more

An exile
Gave up my pride
I’ve been so blind
No more, no more
I am yours
And you are mine
Let hope unwind
No more, no more

An exile
No more, no more

An exile
No more, no more
