| All Time Low – Too Much Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I'm not the biggest fan of the studio version either. I mean, it's catchy, but they've done better. Though I will HIGHLY suggest watching the live version on YouTube. It's absolutely beautiful, and so passionate. See it if you get a chance. :) | |

| Underoath – It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
After reading all of the different interpretations on here, I'll post my short conclusion (what can I say, I like simplicity). :) Definitely about a car accident. Watch the video and you'll notice that the centerpiece is an old Mustang crunched up against a telephone pole. Fits perfectly with the lyrics. My personal opinion, based on all of your insight (for which I thank you), is that the guy was trying to kill both of them. I honestly didn't like that interpretation at first, but it makes the most sense. However, if I'm not mistaken, the guy survives, and the girl does not ("I will now bring a whole new meaning to the word 'alone'"). Maybe. I'm honestly not sure. Still trying to figure out why they would write something like this, though I do think it is an amazing song, both lyrically and musically. And Underoath is an incredible band. And Aaron, you shall be missed. Thoughts? |

| Someone commented earlier that, in the CD booklet, "Him" is definitely capitalized. So yeah, it's God. :) | |
| The Classic Crime – Blisters & Coffee Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
First, a response on The Classic Crime's status as a Christian band, then my take on the meaning of the song. Before I do this, allow me to clarify something: I am indeed a Christian. However, since half of America calls themselves "Christians," allow me to specify: I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died to save the world from their sins and rose again three days later, paying the ultimate penalty on that cross so that we may receive eternal life through faith. Amen? Heck to the yes. The Classic Crime is indeed signed to Tooth & Nail. In my personal opinion, Tooth & Nail is a Christian label. Correction: the bands signed by Tooth & Nail all appear to have Christians in them. Their lyrics are clean, and their motives are pure (or something like that). Here's the deal. I don't necessarily agree with being a Christian, yet being subtle about your faith. Most Christians (by Christians, I'm talking true believers), are very subtle about theirs. I often struggle with the same thing. But, I the same time, I often ponder what good some of these Christian bands are doing for the gospel when the only people who listen to their music are, well, other Christians. There's a balance. I greatly respect bands like Haste the Day who, though they don't write cliché Christian lyrics or trap themselves in the "Christian bubble," manage share the gospel with a bunch of lost kids at every single show. That is Great Commission, ladies and gentlemen. Could The Classic Crime do a better job at this? Yep. But can you hear it in the lyrics? Definitely. In response to one of them cussing in an interview: I disagree with that too. But, at the same time, that's something I've been struggling with myself. These guys are real. And now, let's talk Blisters & Coffee. This is definitely from the perspective of someone who is feeling overwhelmed by sin. He's desperate, lifting his hands to the Almighty God in search of the freedom that he knows He provides. He knows (and this is the best part) that we are too weak to do these things on our own; we have to let go of our pride and turn to the One who can free us from our sin. I often listen to this song when I'm feeling destroyed by my own failures. This becomes my cry. This, to me, is worship. Beautifully written, and, crap, the music is intense. Shutting up now. Peace. :) |
