| House vs. Hurricane – Leaps & Bounds Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I love the lyric "so, i refuse to be included, rather, simply choose to elude it. it seems i'm failing to connect, with a system fundamentally and morally defect." Absolutely beautiful. To me the song is about ignorance and blindness to the world. |

| Parkway Drive – Pressures Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think that the "not" is quite audible in the song. And "not" does make sense with your interpretation [which I agree with], like when you say being strong enough to face it, he is choosing to not accept its form. | |

| My take on these lyrics are possibly that he is being confronted with the idea of inevitable death, and no matter what it's going to happen. You can be ignorant of that fact, but it's going to happen. | |
| Parkway Drive – Deadweight Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| My take on these lyrics is just being absolutely hopeless. Feeling as if there is nothing greater [a god], nothing to look forward to [Heaven], and feeling as if your life has no meaning or purpose. | |
| Parkway Drive – Sleepwalker Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Alright, my stab at the meaning behind these lyrics is basically being caught up in the natural system of how society functions. You basically just go along with the flow of the world without going out for what you truly want or love. And eventually you'll realize that you've done the wrong thing and won't know what to do [How the fuck am I supposed to feel when everything I know lies broken at my feet], or you'll possibly break away from the path and just do what you want to do. Just a thought | |
| Parkway Drive – Leviathan I Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I suppose it could be about the harmful effects of war, and how we don't realize how bad it is and we just kind of believe that it's for the best. | |
| Parkway Drive – Hollow (feat. Marshall Lichtenwaldt) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Also about how everything will eventually work out. "I must condemn my restless mind." "Illumination from within the darkness." | |
| Parkway Drive – Hollow (feat. Marshall Lichtenwaldt) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think it's about not knowing what to do with your life or having your life dramatically change. Sick song. | |
| Parkway Drive – Pressures Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Such a fantastic song. I love the line 'As the mountains crack and the oceans boil, a fury-tempered heart is forged.' However, I have no idea what the song means. | |

This song is absolutely sick. The new album is going to destroy. However, I can't really pick out a meaning. Anyone got any insight? |

Anyone got any meaning on this song? I'm obsessed with it and I'm trying to make some meaning out it and can't. And can anyone shed some light on the "The rapist gives God a hug" I love the line but I can't put my finger on what it means. Perhaps like even the people in the worst sins can find comfort in God? |

Agreed. I don't think there is any hidden meaning. It's not the Davinci Code |

| August Burns Red – Existence Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I definitely understand what you're getting at Fearless and I agree. But as for a different interpretation: Maybe the song is about how people put up a 'front', if you will, or a charade [i think in this song it is directed towards a religious one] on the outside to fit in or to look cool [the walls of a church don't make it holy]; you're insecure so you put on the charade. And inside you feel nothing. You are always talking, but you never say what you truly feel [speaking aloud]. It's the real you that defines who you are. Then add in Fearless' part and thats about it. Just a stab in the dark. |

Also, I think the song is saying that you can't blame society for your actions. In the end it is you that makes decisions; it is you who chooses what to do. And eventually you will be held accountable for these decisions. And you may be able to cover up your decision but the shame of doing so will never leave you. And sometime there will be no one to help you decide what to do, you'll be 'on the front lines' and have to act based on your own thoughts. Could be horribly wrong, just a wild guess for the time being. |

| August Burns Red – Ocean of Apathy Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This is what I'm getting from this song: "Where does our anchor lie?" - Where do you place your firm beliefs? And we are being sold by teachers, peers, parents, you name it, this science of, for example, the big-bang theory / evolution or whatever they may believe. And the leaders today are leading us astray; leaders (not necessarily the exact definition of a leader but friends, teachers, whatever) don't show the other side of the argument and don't present certain facts that go against their 'science'. "We can fight the current" - We can do somethings on our own. "But we can't climb the waterfall" - We need God to help us in the end. |

| August Burns Red – Mariana's Trench Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The opener to this song is absolutely fantastic. As for the meaning, maybe it is about how in this world there are people all around you who influence you. You may start off having firm believes, but going on through life you will be challenged and you'll either have to stick with your beliefs or drop them off and just go with the flow of the world. Therefore, without firm beliefs and the never-ending influences of the world (said conditions) you may lose faith. That's what I'm getting from it anyway. I also can see what Sweetnut is saying. |

| August Burns Red – Indonesia Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Matt Greiner (drums) in an interview in Hopecore Magazine - July 2009 (Issue #2) (FREE Download): "[...] One of the songs, entitled "Indonesia", is about a friend of mine that passed away in a tragic accident. His name was David Clapper, father of four children, happily married for over 20 years, a missionary to a remote tribe in Indonesia. He owned a small single engine plane, which he’d fly injured folks in from their tribe to the nearest hospital, a four-hour flight away. He was returning one evening from the hospital after dropping off the latest patient that day and got caught in a terrible windstorm on the way home. The storm blew his plane into the side of a mountain where he was pinned beneath the plane and died shortly thereafter. I had jotted down something at church the night before finding out about the accident, and it was eerily similar to the story of the plane, the missionary, and the family left behind. "Indonesia" tells the story of a family who surrendered all they had to minister to a remote tribe, the story of a husband and father killed in a tragic accident, and most importantly, the story of a widower and four children that kept their faith in God, even when all seemed lost." [...] You mentioned that you wrote something down in regards to that same plane crash scenario the night before. What do you make of that? "It was a 24-hour worship and prayer service called Gateway that night the ’story’ came to me. I was on my feet praying when I suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded. I sat down and felt the need, the prompting, to write something down. I didn’t have anything in particular in mind to write but nevertheless put pen to paper and started jotting words as they came to me. I drove home, went to sleep, woke up the next morning and was told of David Clapper passing away in a tragic plane accident. Instantly I thought of what I had written the night before, the first line of which is, "This plane’s going down in flames, and this time there’s no black box to capture your last words." I think that God gave me a prophetic word that foreshadowed the news I’d hear the next morning. In addition however, I think He wanted to highlight how the family would react to the news of their father/husband passing away. My favorite line from the song is, "...the white on his flag brings colors to shame." It then goes on to talk about the cycle of life, how the earth will swallow the water and the clouds refill the oceans. David’s family can’t possibly understand why he died that day. But they also can’t fathom eternity; they can’t even explain their own chemical make-up. What’s most profound is that they get it. They understand that they’ll have to settle for now in not knowing why David passed away. They are still living in Indonesia where they’ve devoted their life to ministering to the tribe David died lending his own hand." |

I think it's trying to say don't judge people for their beliefs and don't shove your beliefs down someone else's throat. However just listen to what people have to say about their beliefs and then tell them what you think. And by having a closed mind you are pushing people away from your religion by being so pushy and ignorant. Maybe? Just my guess at it. |
