Thrice – Burn the Fleet Lyrics 15 years ago
Check your armor,
Light up your torch,
Touch the flame to the sand,
Before you head to the shore.

It's not "touch the flame to the sand"
it's "touch the flame to the sail"

anyways i think you guys have the meaning all sorted out.. so i just wanted to correct the lyrics :)

His friend said "If it would shake the youth of a nation, I will give my life today."
Then he died that night in a car accident...

Very powerful.

Starfield – Captivate Lyrics 16 years ago
Wow this took me a while to figure out
at first i was really stumped -_-
think i finally got it

Basically, it's a song of crying out for God to capture our whole self "Captivate all of me, all of me."

"You look for a heart thats open,
For beauty in the broken,
So why am I withdrawn?
My soul's screaming out,
To be found in You."

I guess most of us know already that we are supposed to have open hearts and let God in. Yet, we wonder why we're separating ourselves from God.

My favorite part of this song has to be when he sings, "You look for... beauty in the broken."

... uh hope this helped... maybe not...
i'm pretty bad at this interpreting stuff.. haha

Kutless – To Know That You're Alive Lyrics 16 years ago
i don't agree 100% with Kittt but Kutless did say in an interview that they chose to use "Kutless" as their band name because Jesus took all our "cuts" for us leaving us "Kutless."

anyways i agree with taskmaster
we feel all this pain and we choose to get something (that will essentially "bring us around") or we can let the pain take over as and we can suffer even more

"Right now you're bruised and bleeding
I see the hurt within your eyes
I know your pain is for a reason
You need to feel just to know that you're alive "

he sees that we're hurt but he allows it to happen so that we can strengthen our relationship with Him

Breaking Benjamin – Dance With The Devil Lyrics 17 years ago
haha this is probably totally wrong but the first thought that came to me when i read the chorus was about taking risks

risks so risky that you're like dancing with the devil...

maybe i'm just crazy

Porcupine Tree – Way Out of Here Lyrics 17 years ago
err i'm probably wrong but the first time i read the lyrics i thought about murder

Out at the train tracks
I dream of escape
But a song comes onto my iPod
And I realize it's getting late

he murdered someone (perhaps his girlfriend) maybe at the train tracks? idk...
**just pointing out: the song trains and the mentioning of train tracks in this song as well as in many other songs**

I can't take the staring
And the sympathy
And I don't like the questions,
"How do you feel? How's it going in school? Do you want to talk about it?"

now he comes back home or something and he can't take the questions and the staring, making it feel like people are on to him

And I'm trying to forget you
And I know that I will
In a thousand years
Or maybe a week

now he's trying to forget about the murder he committed

And the curtains are closed
And I've covered my tracks
Disposed of the car

getting rid of the evidence?

well that was just a thought.. hehe..
><

Third Day – Rise Up Lyrics 17 years ago
Well i'm new to Third Day and this was one of the first songs i heard by them, and it's probably my favorite so far.

Basically i think this song is being sung in God's perspective.

"Well, I was there when you were torn apart
Now a piece of you is gone
Somehow you wish that you could only find
A little strength to carry on

You've tried so hard to make it on your own
That your heart has come undone
So I am here to prove that I alone
Have the power to overcome"

I remember hearing this sermon about why we suffer in life: so that we can get closer with God and see his glory.
From the beginning, he was with us and saw how we tried to deal with our own problems in life. After we gave up, he took over to prove that he alone has the power to overcome.

"I didn't want you to feel this way
It's not what life was meant to be
And so for you, my friend, I'll take your shame
You can give it all to me"

This part i guess can be a little cliche
It's like Jesus is taking away your shame.

"'Cause you've wrestled demons every day
And they've dragged you to your knees
But in your weakness you will learn to find
That I will always be your strength"

It's pretty much saying that during our weak times, we realize how powerful God can be, which is so true.

The other parts i think are sorta self-explanatory... Hope i helped with the meaning of this song.
There's like a whole message (enough for a sermon) in this song :)
Very powerful

Kutless – Better For You Lyrics 17 years ago
i have to agree with cycle.of.ashes.

"My decision can not be put off again
I see the right choice but my heart is filled with dread"

"Choose a little pain and gain a life with joy
Accepting pleasure now will earn a life of pain"

those parts really stood out to me in the song
pretty self explanatory

Saliva – Broken Sunday Lyrics 17 years ago
Actually sounds very much like it's about God. Well from the verse i could tell right away.

I looked up at the stars tonight,
To see your face and to feel your presence now,
I need you here right now,
I came from a lonely place,
Windows strewn in my darkest hour now,
I need you here right now,
I need you here,

He's calling out to God for some sort of comfort/help

Plus, "Broken Sunday." Sunday is when people go to church... Connection?

Or maybe i'm totally wrong but to me this song is about God as well

Kutless – All Alone Lyrics 17 years ago
... 2 comments??
wow..

this is such a great song.
me going through so many troubles and difficulties, feeling like my life is at its lowest of lows, this song makes you feel sooo much better.
kutless sang it as if God were singing it to you
and the best part is
God IS singing it to u!

i think this song is saying how God can see that we're all alone, and trying to show people that we're alright
but he knows that we aren't
and he's telling us that we don't have to "pretend to cope."
all he's telling us to do is change perspectives and look towards the truth, and allow God to enter your heart

:)
hope that made sense O_O
