JERICHO

Jericho serves as a metaphor for love lost and redeemed in this exciting single from the songwriting duo of Grant Maloy Smith and Kevin Lucas.

​​

The refrain, "Like Jericho, you're bringing down my walls," is a direct reference to the biblical story of the Battle of Jericho, where the Israelites, through faith and persistence, caused the city's formidable walls to collapse with the sound of trumpets. In the song, this metaphor stands for emotional defenses — barriers built to protect the self from pain, loss, or vulnerability. The force bringing them down appears to be a person — a past or ongoing love — whose presence rekindles unresolved emotion and self-exposure. 

​

The song crafts an intimate narrative of emotional undoing. It blends biblical metaphor, elemental imagery, and confessional lyricism to explore how love can liberate and ruin. “Like Jericho” becomes a stand-in for the ancient, sacred, and terrifying act of letting someone in — and the personal cost of doing so. It’s a song about the courage and danger of vulnerability, the echo of memory, and the deserts we wander when love has left us behind.
