| Yeah... this is insulting to AILD's lyrics. Torturing yourself over a girl? That's way below the standards of Tim's lyrical style. | |
| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
No, they didn't. It says on their website that was a coincidence. It was in the FAQs section. I'm really not sure where "As I Lay Dying" got their name, but ^ is a theory. And, after thinking more about it, 94 hours is probably not the time Jesus spent in the grave or on the cross, but more likely a personal experience. |

| Actually, it's about the sin of war and the evil in humans in general. The entire album is. | |
| All That Remains – Forever In Your Hands Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Judging by some of their other lyrics, ATR is definitely a Christian band, so this is probably a Christian song. Let's take a closer look: "I know that i can stand my head high Forget not where I fall Still I find why and reason" This has to do with keeping faith and finding reason to defend his beliefs. "Yet that conflict still filling me Mistrust venom inside of me I am not the man that you see Just look inside me" Basically, he admits here that he's a sinner, and there will always be a sense of mistrust. "Trust in me the way I trusted you I know we could have done this together If you believed in me like I believed in you My heart would be forever in your hands" These lines should be quite self-explanatory. By keeping trust and faith, a relationship with God is likely to last. |

| Cannibal Corpse – Raped By The Beast Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I can say one thing about this band and those like it: corrupted. I listen to metal myself, but it is not like this. However, more like this: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858655046/ A similarity between the Atheist and Christian bands is that they both often discuss the end of the world. The difference is the Atheist bands will threaten all of humanity to utter termination, while Christian bands believe it is reserved for only those who have earned themselves a destructive end -- in other words, those who might believe we are imperfect but don't believe there is a savior. Our savior, I believe, is of course, Christ, who lived out a life of perfection (as it is recorded), suffered a highly undeserved punishment of hanging by nails on a wooden cross to die. Doesn't that say something at all? Did he deserve that anymore than the artists composing these lyrics? Of course not. When we look back at that, we should be pleading for forgiveness, not mocking it, because it's a serious matter. But how do we know it's God? Simple. The tomb was opened three days later and his corpse was no longer present, providing evidence of resurrection. Although we know we are all evil and imperfect, if we ask forgiveness, we are, in fact, forgiven. I don't know if everyone who listens to this believes the opposite of the above paragraph, but for those who do, I would consider a new type of heavy metal. More so for all of you, because I've ready lyrics that have completely changed the way I see life. |

| As I Lay Dying – This Is Who We Are Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| That may explain "Comfort Betrays", since it seems to introduce a meaning that is not so Christian-related, but still has a deep meaning. I noticed that the lyrics ARE Christian, but sometimes he hides it pretty carefully. I like reading lyrics that require thought, though. I also noticed a lot of this album is about humans and their selfish desires and the fact that they are impure without forgiveness. But honestly, the lyrics from the other albums don't seem much more Christian than these. | |

| Haste the Day – Who We Are Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| No, it's not. I don't know how many times I've replied to people who think As I Lay Dying's lyrics means that love gives life. Because it doesn't. This song is a great way to describe entry to a close relationship with God. | |
| Haste the Day – Invoke Reform Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Cold in a panic Keep me away from this In this damp air, there's ignorance in bliss Have you ever seen When the stars go out and it blackens the scenery? No way around it. I'm sorry I may not amount to much. In secret I'm dirty, and I've chosen to give up. There's something about your motives That never answer the questions. The ending of all disasters will invoke reform. No way around it. I'm sorry I may not amount to much. In secret I'm dirty, and I've chosen to give up Invoke the progress In a simple mind in the factory Invoke the progress When the stars go out and it blackens the scenery. No way around it. I'm sorry I may not amount to much. In secret I'm dirty, and I've chosen to give up No way around it. I'm sorry I may not amount to much. Cold in a panic Keep me away from this In this damp air, there is ignorance in bliss. There were a few errors here and there, just thought I'd clear things up. |

| As I Lay Dying – The Darkest Nights Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| A lot of his songs are like that, but pay attention to all of them and you'll notice he is referring to someone greater than just a girl. A girl does not generally bring meaning to a calloused life or give you thoughts that will "carry you through the darkest nights". AILD is a Christain metalcore band, and you will hear that from several sources. | |

| As I Lay Dying – Forever Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Ignore MissMaryJane. AILD is a Christian band, and this song is about an unexplainable experience in his relationship with God. forever your eyes will hold the memory i saw your heart as it overtook me we tried so hard to understand and reason but in the one moment i gave my heart away It is seemingly impossible to comprehend the feeling you experience when in a deep relationship with God. One moment can change everything, and you can realize things you've never thought of before. the perfect breath where my mind lay beside me and all i knew is what had overtaken me with no explanation i am comforted by my inability to understand God is beyond our understanding, and often we question if these experiences are all in our minds or if they are actually happening. However, the experience is so great, we can only believe it is truly God working in our lives. We should be comforted by the fact that he is infinitely beyond us, and loves us infinitely nonetheless. when i wake from this dream will you still be here? will your smile still open my heart and leave me transparent? When the experience is over, do we take it to heart? Do we keep it within us and display it as we live? Often experiences with God are so great that they feel like a dream, and to "leave your heart open" or live your experience afterward is the true test of the experience. If you truly accept the gifts of God, your life will change. |

| Sorry again about the extra post, but watch the Within Destruction music video. If I'm not mistaken, that's a cross on the lead singer's shirt. | |
| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I'm sorry I posted twice, but I forgot to add this in: Do you believe that God is US? From my perspective, that makes absolutely no sense. You Catholics seem to take things very literally. God is perfection, and we are evil. We crucified Christ. God exists in a form that we cannot comprehend - in other words, he is INFINITELY beyond our understanding. We cannot even see Him, because He is so infinitely advanced beyond our minds. If you believe that God is not there, and he is in our minds, just go and become an Atheist because that just says we're all delusional and God does not exist. I'll admit, though, I haven't seen the music video, but I will. Although I'm sure that the lyricist is referring to Christ's death on the cross. |

| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |

As I lay dying for 94 hours - this is a Christian band, what do you think this song is about? This is referring to Christ's death on the cross. I'm sorry if you can't think deeply enough to figure that out for yourself, but I don't think anyone in a relationship is being seriously tormented and is pitiful enough to be begged for forgiveness. If you were there to see Christ dying there, after his numerous deeds of perfection and innocence, you would be on your knees repenting for all you have done against him. I believe in God because of Christ's life, not his words. Sure, you can say that without God, there is no origin of the universe's existence, but without Christ there is no proof that our God truly exists. His perfection and act of taking our punishment proved it all. |
|
| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Also, "As I Lay Dying" got its name from the death of Christ on the cross. | |
| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I just realized that 94 hours is the time that Jesus Christ was dying on the cross... "the torment of your eyes has awakened my soul the pain of a moment�s time will forever beg your forgiveness" Now looking at the perfect innocence of Christ, the lyricist feels that as sinful humans, we deserved this type of suffering, not Christ. Looking at the "torment in His eye", he seems so pitiful that we "beg His forgiveness" when we sin against Him. |

| August Burns Red – Barbarian Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It is apparent to me that this song is referring to modern civilization as the common person seeks out their desires more than anything else - forsaking all but whatever advertisements are stuck in their face. Yeah, the few remaining intelligent people in America are looking down on them while they chase their stupid desires for popularity and whatever other shit they think they need. It seems they all live thoughtless lives like Barbarians. In fact, this song could be a sort of resply to other popular songs - I need you boo, I've gotta see you boo And the hearts all over the world tonight Said the hearts all over the world tonight Hey, little mama, oh, you're a stunner Hot little figure, yes you're a winner And I'm so glad to be yours You're a class all your own And oh, little cutie, when you talk to me I swear the whole world stops, you're my sweetheart And I'm so glad that you're mine You are one of a kind, and You mean to me what I mean to you And together baby, there is nothing we won't do 'Cause if I've got you, I don't need money I don't need cars, girl you're my all, and Oh, I'm into you And girl, no one else would do 'Cause with every kiss and every hug You make me fall in love And now I know I can't be the only one I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight With the love of their life who feel what I feel when I'm With you Oh girl, I don't want nobody else Without you, there's no one left and You're like Jordan's on Saturday I've got to have you and I cannot wait now Hey, little shorty, say you care for me You know I care for you, you know that I'll be true You know that I won't lie, you know that I will try To be your everything 'Cause if I've got you, I don't need money I don't need cars, girl you're my all, and Oh, I'm into you And girl, no one else would do 'Cause with every kiss and every hug You make me fall in love And now I know I can't be the only one I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight With the love of their life who feel what I feel when I'm With you And I will never try to deny That you are my whole life 'Cause if you ever let me go, I would die So I won't front, I don't need another woman I just need your all or nothing 'Cause if I've got that, then I'll be straight Baby, you're the best part of my day I need you boo, I've gotta see you boo And the hearts all over the world tonight Said the hearts all over the world tonight They need their boo, they gotta see their boo And the hearts all over the world tonight Said the hearts all over the world tonight Oh, I'm into you And girl, no one else would do 'Cause with every kiss and every hug You make me fall in love And now I know I can't be the only one I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight With the love of their life who feel what I feel when I'm With you (With you by Chris Brown. Yeah, it sucks.) Chaos brings order. Who will you allow to lead you blindly till the end? You're like a little girl with a stupid crush. We all sing glory. We all choke ourselves with our own ignorance. There is so much more to life than your stupid desires. Nothing is everything and everything is something. Confused? Troubled? Find the meaning is looking through the vivid transparencies. Dance the night away because tomorrow we will look back and talk about good times now gone forever. Trace lines around the image of your choice. Dance until the end my friend and find joy in every living thing. Optimism is not a choice, it's a belief. Now imagine this as a reply to that horrible song. And With You is more popular? People really are idiots. I could not agree with this song more. |

| As I Lay Dying – Within Destruction Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| So, do you not believe that you are also condemned as you have sinned, and that there is an eternal presence of a savior to leave this evil world behind? You must realize that without an eternal, superhuman being as is God, there is no origin of life. And no origin of anything. How can you believe a universe so complex and infinite can be created in apathy? Simply because you cannot comprehend the intellect of a "mind" infinitely beyond yours does not mean it doesn't exist; it only proves it true. | |
| As I Lay Dying – Within Destruction Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| No, the destruction that is ourselves. | |
| As I Lay Dying – Collision Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Actually, he is talking about the love of God. "...the wire of eternity twists around us..." Only the love of God is eternal. Love between two human dies with human death. "...in this instance when our worlds collide..." This is referring to the kingdom of God v.s. the kingdom of mankind. The reason this song is called "Collision" is not because he is colliding with someone he loves, but the collision is between the ever-perfect God and the sinful mind of the lyricist. |
|
| As I Lay Dying – The Darkest Nights Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I really think it's about God. After all, As I Lay Dying is a Christian band. "...and meaning to a calloused life..." Would a girl really give you "meaning to life"? I don't think so. This song is about how he is caught in the darkness of earthly life and discovers a refuge through God. The reason the lyrics are written the way they are is because the lyricist has discovered that the love of God is greater than all else. Looking at him and drawing his close are symbols that represent simply growing in his relationship. If you are not a very religious person, being a strong Christian, I'd be very happy to share some of my thoughts with you. Looking at As I Lay Dying's lyrics is actually a decent start. |

| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The double bass is 6 kicks per beat. I listened to it several times, then tried writing it on Cakewalk Music Creator. I used 6 kicks per beat, and it sounded exactly the same. | |
| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Wow, you were right. I played it back, and yes, there are 6 double bass hits in one beat instead of 4. That's why it sounds so fast. | |
| As I Lay Dying – 94 Hours Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Really? Normally double basses are played in sixteenths; if it were to be played in triplets faster than sixteenth notes (especially at this tempo), that would be nearly impossible. I'm not saying that's not true, but I could not imagine that. But I'll listen for it. | |
| Haste the Day – Pressure the Hinges Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Christ the King's interpretation was definitely close if not completely correct. I think he had it. I�m running low on secrets that will quench your thirsty ears. Running low on things to say to the non believer that will bring him to Christ. Dodging bullets is easier when you don�t believe in fate. It's easier to avoid conversion when you don't believe in a firm relationship with God or a path to Heaven. You hold the door and I�ll pressure the hinges. In order to convert, the non believer must lead himself into it with the help of the converter. |
|
| Haste the Day – Invoke Reform Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song is horribly underrated. I find it amazing, probably the most amazing on the album "Dreamer". I believe this song is talking about a non-Christian and how they have not experienced the true presence of God, but at the same time fails to hear a Christian's point of view. |
|
| Haste the Day – Eye Of The Needle Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Yes it is. Some Christians fail to realize it, too. That's Haste the Day's overall message here. Look up the verses mentioned in the booklet - Hebrews 10: 23 - 25. | |
| Haste the Day – White Collar Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Actually, I have to disagree. This song is not about a girl or relationship. To be honest, it sickens me to here that that's what people think it's about. Haste the Day being completely Christian, it's definitely a Christian song talking about a non-Christian. You shut me out. This person does not want to hear his point of view. I just don't want to fake it anymore. He does not want to keep that fact hidden anymore. I'm burning out. He's terribly annoyed. Your motions empty and you've hit the floor. Because of his ignorance, his motives to convert are zero. You shut me out. The sweet relief of saying, you shield your heart from breaking. This person has only the desire to defend himself from beliefs he disagrees with. Get up, get out now. Get up, get out. Get up off the floor and find your way to Christ. I'd also like to include this part: And we'll walk around. This is going nowhere. Eyes on the crowd. You're basing your interpretation on other non-Christians. And don't you think about tomorrow. Your fate in the end will not matter to you. |
