29 min ago Rated 0 It's interesting how similer the relationship between man/life/afterlife is to the relationship between a man who's away from his lover/home. there's a lot of distance in there, almost an invisible barrier that seperates the two sides from each other. When a man's away from his lover/home, he often carries pieces of it/her along with him, it's what helps him survive in a rather frustrating and difficult situation. There are many more complicated situations in life than a relationship though, There's war/poverty/racism and violance. though the two opposing sides in these kind of situations are the people who are in charge of running the world rather than simple-minded indivisuals in life, the indivisuals are merely the unlucky victims of these circumstances, they're the ones who make all the sacrifices and whatnot, though we're not proud of watching, we've been through the troubles ourselves and we're so tired of it all, so tired of these feelings, so tired of being trapped, forced and controlled by everything and everyone around us, we want to come alive, we want to rise above these circumstances, we want to change the world...we know that it can never be perfect, but it can be inhanced, it can be better...we have seen it! we have seen with our own eyes what love and peace can do to people, it can bring them together, we've seen signs of mutual agreement, signs of an immortal hope that transcends the worst of our actions. yes, everyday...we are given a chance! a chance to change, a chance to rebel, to set an example to the world, we can't just shut it up, we can't just fake that we're satisfied with the way things are, we want something more! this song feels like Switchfoot went so close near the finish line, they went so close to dying, they've tasted the fire, they've tasted death! and now they want to live even more! this is a song about love and hope, this is a song about life and the journey that we all must go through |

| My favorite song by this band, it's very hopeful as it kind of says that no matter how messed up the world really is, there are still people out there who love you and manage to make your life worth living. | |

I adore this song! it's very calm and relaxing, I think it's about living life and staying true to yourself and what you believe in because that's what makes all of us special and unique and that If we don't thrive than our lives would be meaningless. |

| Wonderful song, i just love the line ''I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass'', i think it kind of sums it up in a way, everyone's sick and tired of doing the same things year after year after year and not seeing any good results coming out of it, it's a very honest and heartfelt poem about how the world could cave in at any moment and how we should all take the time to appreciate this precious life that we've all been given. | |

This song is really beautiful, i'm very excited about the new album! for me, it's about how life is seldom what you plan, how everything rarely works out the way you want it to, we all wish that we could never make mistakes, that we could never wage wars and that there would be less pain and heartache everywhere in this world but in the end we must understand that things get better and that we might not always get what we want but in the end we always get what we need with god's gracious love. |
