Evangelical is a soulful reflection on self-identity and the pressures of societal expectations. In this heartfelt song, Teddy Swims explores themes of individuality, breaking free from societal norms, and the journey to find one's true self. The lyrics tell a story of taking inspiration from literature while rejecting the illusions presented by the world.
I took a page out of my favorite book
World sold me lies just by the way I looked
Taught me a language that I never speak
I knew, that ain't for me
That, that ain't for me
(Chorus)
Evangelical, oh, I'm breaking free
From the chains that used to bind me
Evangelical, I'm finding me
In a world that's lost its way
(Verse 2)
Every mirror, every face
Reflects a smile that seems misplaced
I’m more than what the world can see
I knew, that ain't for me
That, that ain't for me
(Chorus)
Evangelical, oh, I'm breaking free
From the chains that used to bind me
Evangelical, I'm finding me
In a world that's lost its way
(Bridge)
And the pages turn, but I won't hide
In this journey, I’ll find my pride
I’ll write my own story, it’s finally time
I knew, that ain't for me
That, that ain't for me
(Chorus)
Evangelical, oh, I'm breaking free
From the chains that used to bind me
Evangelical, I'm finding me
In a world that's lost its way
(Outro)
That ain't for me, no
That ain't for me
Chords not available
Beat not available
I took a page out of my favorite book
World sold me lies just by the way I looked
Taught me a language that I never speak
I knew, that ain't for me
That, that ain't for me
