Song Meaning of “Abandoned as Christ” by My Dying Bride
Abandoned as Christ is a song about the trials of life and how we must yield to the fates of those that exist before us. It speaks of those burdens we must carry and cast upon something greater in order to not be overcome by our own sadness and disheartenment. Through a religious lens, the song speaks of Christ as a beacon of hope and a reminder of our own importance in the grand scheme of things, the idea that even in our darkest moments, we cannot be forsaken by something so meaningful and powerful. Despite the bleak outlook presented in the Kyrie, the song ultimately reassures us of the importance of hope and faith in our lives – that even if we feel lost and alone, we can turn to something greater than ourselves for strength and guidance.
