Outstanding song. I agree with much of what has been said about the song so far, but one thing I haven't seen much said about is the actual title of the song: "Cavity King." I think the brilliance of this title comes from the multiple things it says with only two words: 1) The man is on a quest to have sex with women for selfish pleasure and for "bragging rights" with his friends.... he wants to become "king" of the female "cavity." Many guys today falsely believe that sleeping with women is what makes one a man and this guy is one of those types. 2) Doing this makes him completely empty and decayed person that passes his decay onto every woman he fools into sleeping with him.... a "cavity king." I also really appreciate these acts being shown for exactly what they are: acts of violence. Sexual sin is probably the most harmful, devastating sin one can commit. It haunts the victims and can very likely destroy their (and their family's) lives. What the "Cavity King" is doing is rape. He's stealing love from women and exploiting their bodies for pleasure with no intention of giving them a lifelong commitment or anything in return other than pain. He's stabbing, maiming, murdering them.... and enjoying it while he does it. Schwab closes the song perfectly noting that we all have sexual desires "I know you ache...," but calls all of us men out by stating that we absolutely cannot act like this because "she is alive... she's more than a story." This is definitely one of my favorite Project songs because of its great sound, lyrical depth, and very strong message. |

"I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." -- Phillipians 3:12-14 (NLT) Such beautiful lyrics based upon the apostle Paul's words above. Project's haunting music combines with Schwab's words to create strong feelings of urgency and inspiration to persevere as we run the race, remaining focused on what matters above all else: our loving Savior. I also really love the emphasis on forgetting our sins. Nothing weighs me down more than when I mourn the hypocritical mistakes I've made. But we simply have to ask forgiveness from God and from those that we've wronged and keep our eyes fixed on finishing. |

Actually, I believe the last version of the pre-chorus is as follows: Unyielding Unflinching My gaze is set on finishing |
