Propaganda - Crimson Cord Lyrics
The pain that guides us
The strings that tie us
The coincidence that proves to us God's existence
Joy we misplaced
Beautiful mistakes
The Crimson Cord
Wear your scars out loud
That's the fingerprints of The Lord
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
A timeline, a scarlet thread
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
Let me celebrate your crimson cord
And that's beautiful, a crimson cord
No regrets, boy, a crimson cord
What it do to a boy's brain to see his father through glass walls
While Algebra homework less important than last calls
Collect calls come from up state
You eventually grow numb, it's a sad state
And it's hard to conceive, let alone believe that you're worth it
When your little brother's blood is still stained on your Converse
And system leave him hanging, they still binge on syringes
Filled with self-hate, that's why we fly off the hinges
Self-medicate, still struggle at the smell of that fresh kush
Even after salvation, it's tough
Looking back at wasted life, who never had a chance to begin with
Ya'll talking about a lamb that's sinless
The pain that guides us
The strings that tie us
The coincidence that proves to us God's existence
Joy we misplaced
Beautiful mistakes
The scarlet thread
The Crimson Cord
Wear your scars out loud
That's the fingerprints of The Lord
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
A timeline, a scarlet thread
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
Let me celebrate your crimson cord
And that's beautiful, a crimson cord
No regrets, boy, a crimson cord
Evidence of God's love, that's a crimson cord
What it do to a girl's brain to see her father through face time
Why, if you call her pretty, you can have her at lunch time
American dream has filled her Mama with botox
And personalized license plates, dinner dates, he went to Jared's
Can't conceive or believe that you're worth it
When rather than hanging with you, they buy you designer purses
And you ain't pose' to be mad, your dad buys you everything, right?
We should all wish to have your life
While she self-medicates with packages and purchases
Oxycontin morning after pills no condoms
Suburbia good school, healthy church folk parents
Hittin' death, cover-up
Mac product, not enough
The pain that guides us
The strings that tie us
The coincidence that proves to us God's existence
Joy we misplaced
Beautiful mistakes
The scarlet thread
The Crimson Cord
Wear your scars out loud
That's the fingerprints of The Lord
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
A timeline, a scarlet thread
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
Let me celebrate your crimson cord
And that's beautiful, a crimson cord
No regrets, boy, a crimson cord
Evidence of God's love, that's a crimson cord
Wear your scars out loud
That's the fingerprints of The Lord
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
A timeline, a scarlet thread
A crimson cord, baby, a crimson cord
Let me celebrate your crimson cord
And that's beautiful, a crimson cord
No regrets, boy, a crimson cord
Evidence of God's love, that's a crimson cord

Propaganda Crimson Cord Comments
Christianity is a Jewish death cult.
i only just found Propaganda... he is amazing!! his lyrics, his beats, his music and his realness.!!
One of my favorite songs but this is the first time I watched the video. Wow!
Awesome song man plzzz make more..
This whole song from lyrics to track is nothing to mess with straight heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 damn I got to give it to him
It's super dope how he was rocking and the beat had to catch up to him
Super powers wooooooooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I ain't even threw the whole song yet and I'm loving it
I love his rap flow
Dang prop
I just saw propaganda live at hot hearts 2018!
Probably listened to this a thoousand times
I love this!!!!
Wow.... amazing video and song.
no humble beast
is he in the rap group beautiful eulogy?
no, but humble beast record label. they all work closely
He was a guest on signs and symbols with beautiful eulogy.
fantastic 👌
2:42 Dang, she on that dollar general level
Why was there no Crimson cord in the video?
Symbolic. Didn't need it.
+Colebug99 Hey. I just want to thank you a lot because since all my years of using YouTube, I don't think I've ever had someone reply to one of my comments. So thank you. But you're right. You don't NEED it, but I think it would have been cool and it's kind of a waste opportunity. The cord is already symbolism itself also, so there could still be symbolism even if they included it.
Dang, a got a lot of heartstrings pulled from this, incredible lyricism as always from Prop, it really does move your heart and mind, powerful lesson behind it too ;_;.
Beautiful mistakes.
The scarlet thread.
The crimson cord.
+Camberlyn Edge Exactly. I couldn't agree with you more.
Beautiful poetry.
3:21-3:35 endless loop.
Brilliant!
The way my sunday school teacher explained it was that the crimson cord is our tie to Jesus. Jesus is holding that cord even when we weigh it down with sins and hate. You can get farther and farther from jesus, but you can always come back. Even when your sins are so great that the cord causes him to bleed (when he died on the cross for us). He still holds on to that cord for us. In the bible it says no matter how great your sins, you can still be saved through Jesus. This is supported by the symbol at the end. The petal in the flower was coming off from the rest them, It still had a bit of attachment. Even though it was no longer a part of the flower, It could always come back to the rest of the flower by the Crimson Cord.
"The evidence of God's love that's a crimson cord" <3
I find it cool that I could be hey that was my freshman foundations teacher mr. Petty!!!
Prop is a beast
Love it!!! Excellent!!!!<3
I've watched this video plenty of times now... and I think I finally get it. Prop is playing the role of God/Jesus and the point of the black paper is how everything looks dark and random but the red paper shows love and that there's a point. All of the words on the red paper are showing how we are missing God's hand in everything "Joy we misplaced", "Beautiful Mistakes" and so on. The people are looking around at all this chaos in their lives, (being the black paper) all the problems, all the while God (Prop) is trying to show them by throwing the red papers out to them that he's got his hand in all this and there's a purpose. This continues in various ways and forms and then finally at the end when you step back and you look back on the big picture of your life, you see that it was designed. All the events that happened... every single one was part of a purposeful design, you just couldn't see it because your focus was on the chaos.
excellent!
the scarlet thread, the Crimson Cord!!!
I've listened to this song at least 5 times today. Propaganda has such incredible lyrics.
Thats deep.
Excellent was one of my fav albums the year it came out. So as you can guess I anticipate crimson cord!!! Good song! Great lyrics

Your videos just keep getting better! Very impressed.
Great song as expected. Thank you God for breathing truth, life, and inspiration into this artist. This song go hard kid. The straight forward imagery and symbolism in his lyrics are ridiculous. Glory to Christ.

Superb!
"Wear your scars out loud"
Love this
Powerful message.
Not only is the beat dirty, but Prop's lyrical craftsmanship just makes this song! Solid visual to accompany it as well.
Crazy creative and unique... Props to Propaganda.. Mad props
Salute. Yes.
I think the crimson cord is the red line that runs from genesis to revelation. The story of redemption and the promise of a savior and concluded with that savior coming again. From start to finish it's all about Jesus.
Check out !!!

So pumped for this album! The hardest part is having to wait but it's so gonna be worth it
"Wear your scars out loud... That's the fingerprints of The Lord." Powerful.
I agree. Love it!
Love it!!
What does he mean by Crimson Cord? Crimson for blood I think... So the blood of Jesus... But what about the cord?
I think it's a reference to Rahab's crimson cord.
Rahab was a prostitute that was praised for her faith in Hebrews 11. The theme of the song, and probably the album, is seeing our past and our sins as marks of God's relentless and unending grace towards sinners.
@Josh Hill Thanks! It makes a bit more sense now! I'm haven't got to hebrews yet so that's why I don't know about it. On my way there though, not too far now.
Also the story actual story is in the book of Joshua. Two Hebrew spies gave her a red scarlet to hang outside of her window so that her and her family would be saved from warfare that was coming to their land.
The "crimson cord" in the Bible is what Christians refer to the line of promises and generations that lead to Jesus.
A broader picture of what happened in Rahab's life is that she married into an Israelite family, namely Judah's. Rahab's marriage to Salmon (Matthew 1:5) led to a son named Boaz who married a Moabite woman, Ruth (sound familiar?), to whom was born Obed, father to Jesse, father to King David. Jesus came from the line of David, and is whom all God's promises lead to.
If you read the history of the generations of Judah (great grandson of Abraham), you will marvel how the line continued. I'm not sure if Propaganda had this idea of Judah messing up and God still keeping His Word, but I'd like to think so.
Greatness once again! Powerful video
WOW! What a powerful song/message in itself and how all the things we will go through and have gone through that Jesus paid it all for us on the cross and all we have to do is come to Him and He will forgive us of our wrong doings:)
Life is a complicated thing, we work harder than the ones we work for but receive the least amount of pay. We have such great talents but we are afraid of the adversity that comes our way. I am tired of letting road blocks hold me down, in confidence I write this plea to you as a listener, as a supporter I beg of you that you please support this great art I have put together. I ask nothing of you but for you to give it 1 try, if you don’t like it then you can forget about it but if you do please help me rise and fulfill my dream. There are 24 hours within a day but 3 minutes is all I ask of you please help me Rise.
Amazing! Props to Propaganda. I'm glad that I preordered this. Now I'm just counting the days for the album to come.
