| Anberlin – (The Symphony Of) Blase Lyrics | 20 years ago |

normally i like to post analytical comments. but i can't. all i know is that this song relates so perfectly with my situation right now. this whole section here: God if you can hear me out alright Please take these feelings for her inside My chest hurts when I breathe tonight It's wasting me away (You're wasting me away) You're wasting me away I don't wanna be where you are I don't wanna be here even now I don't wanna be by your side Something isn't right Something isn't right Ugh. totally me. totally us. or what is left of us. it hurts to breathe sometimes. true that. |

i think this song is aimed at Christians, Christian men in prticular. Not aimed at the secular world so much. Check it: "how long will WE blame the DEVILS on our shoulders" how long will WE blame demonic activity for our lusts and passions "and pose like angels on the outside" and think that we've got it all together and we're goo Christians, preening and posing, believing the only reason we're failing and falling is becasue satan is attacking us "when all i am is a monster" whe nin reality we so often do satan's work for him. our flesh, our fallen nature, is a greater threat to us more often than satan in my opinion. |

to seedplanter.... i agree with nearly all of what you said. but i don't see anywhere "God tealling us not to touch secular music, movies and books"... indeed, though I am a Christian, I find it quite hard to imagine a world without secular books. I mean, where would we learn things? How would we be educated? I also enjoy many secular movies. In fact most religious movies I have seen are pretty crap to be honest. And while I can see why a lot of secular music is harmful, some of it is absoutely fine. I love a lot of secular music. What we need is more Christians, tearing down the barriers between secular and Christian, and getting their hands dirty in the "real world". It's ridiculous the amount of "holier than thou" Christians I see, condeming people for superficial differences and pointless theological arguments that are not at all inmportant to the question of salvation. as one secular band put it recently: "where is the love?" |

1 Corinthians 1:27 - hence the song title One:Twenty Seven. interesting. i see it, in the light of that bible verse: "...God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong" I think it's a call to Christians to be the people God called them to be. And not to be so ashamed of who we are and what we believe. Because shame cripples. It does indeed keep you: "low and close to the bottom" I also see a warning not to say you love God, unless you are bearing your cross. All those out there who are followers of Christ, understand this. And unfortunately I find myself in a posiiton of hypocrosy of not being man enough to do this at times. Yet as the song says: "all that i am, is becasue Your love endures my back to it" Christ endures our unfaithfulness. Our willingness to whore ourselves out to other god's and our flirtatious attitudes to sin. |
