| The Classic Crime – Closer Than We Think Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
So so pretty mint song! I love it, probably one of my favorite songs and bands at the moment. Classic Crime — “non Christian band”, “Christian members”… I’d probably struggle to write songs that have no Christian connotations at all if I was in their position. God is such an influential person in people’s lives. So this song is one of them talking about faith and doubts of God I guess. There are few references to biblical scripture in this song, “Where are the poet's filled pages of the three” I take from this line - I want solid proof of the three in one: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If you look at, Matthew 14:22-33 these following parts of the song are referenced from that part of the bible. Or other experiences… “We will bathe in the sea of disbelief But we will not go quickly No we will not rest so easily” This speaks about issues of no faith and doubt, Then continued in the bridge “Across the water You call me, but I'm not listening As I sink down (sink down) Water fills my lungs as I begin to drown” This whole part seems pretty similar to Mathew 14:28-31 where Peter steps out onto the water and walks to Jesus who is out for his early morning wander on water. The wind and rain threw up on him and he begun to sink. Jesus then reaches out, grabbing his hand and said something along the lines of, Oh my friend, where has your faith gone? Why did you doubt? ...Well kind of like that, in his language and with out slang I guess. “And I knew that this would happen It always does And I couldn't stop my reaction So I let it come I let it come” God will challenge him in areas of belief, faith and trust. His reaction like Peter's - maybe needing to be saved by Jesus And the chorus, “I still hold the belief that we are free That we don't need the rules to see That despite what we've done, We're not alone We're closer than we think to home” “We are free” - free will to do what we want, “that we don’t need the rules to see” “that despite what we’ve done” - where we have messed up and done bad things also called, sin, God still loves us no matter. And will bring us home where we belong. But yeah I guess this is my interpretation :) |
