This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Looking on the sad times, the guilt and all the shame
I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
All the grief I've learned to set aside
'Cause I am, I am, I am
Feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
When I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
When I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed
Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back
I have learned to submit then I whine about my lack
Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest
That's when I run to you and I nail your feet and your wrist
I'm feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
Do you really love my soul, even after I hated you?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
Are you really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
I can, I don't care if the rooster crows
I can
I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
All the grief I've learned to set aside
'Cause I am, I am, I am
Feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
When I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
When I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed
Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back
I have learned to submit then I whine about my lack
Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest
That's when I run to you and I nail your feet and your wrist
I'm feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
Do you really love my soul, even after I hated you?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
Are you really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
I can, I don't care if the rooster crows
I can

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song is all about what it means to be a christian.

This talks about the past and how he feels bad about it and how he learned to confess it to god.
Feeling underooted feeling undermined Can this grace of God cover me this time? When I feel the pain I know Why I feel strange, when I Hear the rooseter crow I am ashamed
He wants to know if God will forgive him for what he did this time. The rooster crow comment is a reference to peter in the bible where jesus tells peter he will deny him three times before the rooster crows.
Jesus on the cross And this cross unpon my back I have learned to submit Then I whine about my lack Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest That's when I run to You and I nail Your feet and Your wrist
This is when he is into living for God and he gets tempted or he gets tired of it and he deserves a little rest. Then he says he nails jesus on the cross. This is extreme but all of the people who killed jesus turned on him similar to what he is saying he did.
I'm feeling underooted feeling undermined Can this grace of God cover me this time? Do You really love my soul, even after I hated You? Do you really know My name, Can I really come to You? Are You really more faithful Than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun? Do You really know my name, can I really come to You? I can I don't care if the rooster crows I can
The last part of the song says can jesus really forgive me after i did all of this bad stuff to you. And at the end of the song he is saysing gods answer. I can.
This song overall is one of the most powerful song this band has ever written and i really enjoy it throughly.
This song was Skillet's first big hit and is a favorite to mosh to when the need arises.
This is surely christian music's answer to Nirvana
@Aerofrog Hi, is there an specific song of Nirvana talking about this? Could you send me a message about it?
hmm im a little confused by this song, but from what i understand is that its about the saviors death, and how he died to take our sins....thats all i got sorry
