| Kensure Is a very strong Christian. Look into the life of this man, he has not tried to hide it. Everyone of his cd's is about his growth and struggle in his walk with God. Look back to "stare at the sun" "red sky" "the artist and the ambulance" all of these songs are talking about Gods love and mercy, and how he is striving to find it. Look into this mans life if he is that much of an inspiration for you, you will be shocked. | |

Before you start bashing Christians, why don't you do some research. K thanks. Each sonnet is written from the point of view of the personified element, writing to man. They’re a lament, almost,” Kensrue explains. “The Fire one kind of deals with fire being resentful of the way that it’s been used in destruction and war. The Water one is kind of dealing with man’s pride, and kind of the uselessness of that pride in the face of the power of the ocean.” Kensrue continues, “‘Child of Dust’ concerns abuses of our environment; this image of raping the earth to wreak havoc on other humans, and the idea of ‘from dust to dust’ and how the earth takes us back to sleep. "Silver Wings" is talking about the things that we see; how we tend to be pessimists. Using the wind as an example, we see the destructive power of things, but not all the ways we reap these blessings. It’s kind of a metaphor for God, as well. We try to blame everything on God, and not give him credit for all the amazing things that we are blessed with.” |

| Thrice – Stare At The Sun Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Well...giving the fact that Dustin is a Christian, I'm pretty sure the song is very straight forward. Like every man seeking Christ It seems like he didn't know how to anymore. That he felt he was missing something. He was probably struggling with something and couldn't figure out how to move past it no matter where he looked or what he did, so he in turn decided that he will "stare at the sun until I understand or go blind" In other words he will turn to Jesus and look to him for the answer until he either finds it, or he dies trying. I say this because I know he is a Christian. He has made that very clear, and you can tell through his music. I also say this because I feel the same way, being a Christian man who struggles. | |
