Thankfully we can choose to pursue love instead of making this song true in our life.

A Lot Like Birds – Myth of Lasting Sympathy Lyrics 11 years ago
Nearly brought tears to my eyes.

Powerful song.

In a sentence, this song talks about how when we were children we were taught that love was everything in the world but that when we grow up we end up caring for ourselves more than for our loved ones.

Broadway – The Prom Queen Has No Friends Lyrics 12 years ago
Great song!

The singer is talking to the prom queen.

"How do we always get so close
To resolution and just give up
Suddenly, I realized what you've done
And it gets a little harder to say it
Don't let your habits take control
Because eventually they take their toll"

He is telling her to be sure that her habits (most likely not forgiving and being unkind in general) don't take control because eventually they will have a bad effect. Hence the title "Prom Queen Has No Friends." She will lose friends.

"But you have to understand
You can't just swing where you choose
Not everyone is willing to forgive you"

If she keeps saying whatever she wants to people and hurting them she has to realize that not everyone is going to forgive her.

From here on is my favorite part of the song..

"The habit was the gun
The influence the trigger
And the bullet was your tongue
(But I didn't buckle from the pain)"

Her habit (hurting people) was the gun
The influence: I'm not sure for sure what this is but it is the cause. Most likely something that happened to her influenced her and in a sense pulled the trigger.
The bullet: Her saying hurtful things.

Still he doesn't buckle from the pain of getting shot by her words.

"You can't live your life in a coma
Not expecting to wake up one day
In the coffin you built with your bare hands
And think you can just walk away
(And walk away)"

I think this is the most confusing part of the song. I understand the part where she is in a coffin because if she continues to hurt people she will in a sense be dead. I guess she is in a coma because she is hardly living as a result of having no friends because of the way she treats people.

"I've been over this a thousand times before
And still you are in the wrong
If you keep this up, I won't be around for long"

He's seen this problem before and he tells her that she's still wrong in her actions and that if it continues he will leave.

Awesome song!!

The point of them promoting Christianity is that once you are a Christian and following God, your mind and way of life starts to change and you don't do those sort of things anymore.

I don't agree because it seems like the whole song is talking about one person and so Jesus wasn't being pulled down and wasn't giving up on everything like it was talking about in this song.

Burden of a Day – Remember Lyrics 13 years ago
Anyone catch that the lyrics "What a wretched man I am, who will rescue me from this body of death?" is Romans 7:25? I thought that was pretty cool as I just read that this song popped in my head. Such a great song.

Parts of it sounds like God is talking about Satan since Satan is conceited like that, but certain parts don't match up so I don't know. Possibly parts of it is God talking and parts aren't?

Blessthefall – Pray Lyrics 13 years ago
I think I have a stab at what this really means..

The first line talks about a girl who is going through a lot of pain and the rest of the first stanza is the singer talking about what he is going through; how he has left the happy life and he is in a terrible situation. And he says he still doesn't know how he got there "I'm still asking how I died".

I would say the next stanza is an answer to his question of how he got into the situation. He's out in the cold of night so he can find her. Then "My eyes in yours and yours in mine and now I know just how I died". In other words he had sex with this girl and that's how he got into this terrible situation.

The last part is more evidence that the song is about this because he says that he's "never made life before" and "never had this before". Both talking about having a baby.

Many of you might have already known it was about this but hopefully this helped those who didn't know exactly what the song was about.

Jamies Elsewhere – They Said a Storm Was Coming Lyrics 13 years ago
I think the start of the song talks about how life is going fine, no distractions or big troubles and then things change and his actions catch up to him and so a "storm" comes.
Although you would normally think of a storm as bad, this storm has the potential to clean him and fulfill his dreams. Then the storm (which I think represents God) puts the man in his place showing him how He controls everything. He tells the man to keep going towards the surface, a new world (way of life), and that there is nothing beneficial for them in the old life.
But then I'm not sure what the last part is talking about. Possibly how he feels that his past actions are too big to be swept away? That's my best guess.

Ivoryline – The Healing Lyrics 13 years ago
I love the line "You got to let the roots grow deep, and stop worrying about the leaves". Instead of worrying about your sin and problems you need to let your roots grow deep into Christ and be all about him. Then the leaves will grow.

We Came As Romans – Cast the First Stone Lyrics 13 years ago
Near the beginning of the song he is saying that he has been putting others down first (casting the first stone) in order to protect his reputation. Then by the end he says he wants to "stop living like anyone else's opinion". The last lines are "I shouldn't forget there's a difference, Between living for other's approval and just living for others". Pretty straightforward good meaning. He's saying that casting the first stone is not living for others. Awesome song, probably listened to this album for like a month straight when it came out :D

Sleeping with Sirens – In Case of Emergency, Dial 411 Lyrics 13 years ago
Could be about either a suicidal girl and him wanting to help her or about how people can't be saved spiritually, not that detailed of a song so a lot is left up to interpretation. I would guess it's about the suicidal girl or something because of the part where he says one day you will open your eyes and discover that he saved you because if you are being saved by God you will probably know it. Just my take on it

The Receiving End Of Sirens – This Armistice Lyrics 13 years ago
I agree with most of the points but there are lots of bands who's meanings could be interpreted as christian without the label of a "christian band", bands like blessthefall and emery are not labelled as christian bands but oftentimes write songs that sometimes seem to be christian, and he did say that it was his opinion. I'm still sure it's not a about christianity though because why would an artist lie in an interview about the meaning of their song?

His Statue Falls – Jasmine W. Knows How To Mosh Lyrics 13 years ago
I feel like this is about how a guy loves a girl and she's sorta struggling about whether she loves him our not and he's trying to convince her to love him saying that they were made for each other. At first glance it kind of reminded me of the end of the first book of the Hunger Games where she makes him feel so secure but then can't make up her mind about whether she loves him or not and stabs him in the back. Probably wasn't written about that but just an interesting comparison i think.

His Statue Falls – Does Any Of You Guys Know Why For God's Sake Every Band On Earth Gotta Have Long Song Titles? Lyrics 13 years ago
"Please don't try to find an answer, just look forward and move on"
I don't understand that line because without an answer things will be the same as they always were. Maybe when it says "we seek to fall" he is saying he is against that idea of not looking for answers.

His Statue Falls – Give It Up! Give It Up! Lyrics 13 years ago
Nice music! A bit simple but it's super catchy and really good! I can see this band getting really really good! I think he's talking about how life is depressing him and when he asks people for help he doesn't get answers "just silly phrases running through his head". So he sick of wasting time and he wants to commit suicide. And there is somebody who is bothering him, I don't understand much of it though.

Blessthefall – Undefeated Lyrics 13 years ago
I think this song is about christians and christian bands who either make music or do whatever for themselves and act like they're doing it for God. When they say at the beginning "we won't fall when we're under the gun" i think they're staying that they will actually stand up for God when pressure comes. I don't know what the heroes part means though. Blessthefall in the chorus is saying that they aren't the ones who have gone off God's path but that it's these hypocrites that are.

Great song, album and lyrics!

Jamies Elsewhere – One Foot in the Grave Lyrics 14 years ago
I agree somewhat with emeryfan on this. I'm not sure if this band has christians in it so it may not be what they are meaning. From my point of view, however, this is talking about how he's scared of the world "want to have the chance to flee the scene and to find peace" and when he says he has one foot in the present day and one foot in the grave I take it to mean that he has one foot in this life and one foot in the next life in heaven where there is the peace he is seeking. Then he talks about grace that gives us a second chance and I believe he is talking about God's grace.

In Fear and Faith – Bought The Ticket, Took The Ride Lyrics 14 years ago
Awesome, honest song. It's just sad that the song is concluded with him not dealing with his pain. He just says he's "ok".

The song is about how he's realized that he can't be perfect

(So you think I could be a man free of sin?
I've done enough to prove I'm not capable of that.)

And that he has gotten a lot worse in this as the years have gone on

(I'm not claiming I'm all that bad but,
I'm not surprised that I've created distance from my past.)

Then the next seven lines talk about how he has changed from who he was a year ago through all the things he's been doing and how this year could be his last.

Then in the next five lines he says that he is alright even though he doesn't know what will take away his pain.

He says that even though he has trying to take things slow things still don't turn out right. He knows he is going to have to pay for what he's done. Then he tells us that he is hardly clinging to life.
