I'm Not Alright Lyrics
This song is amazing, it tells the straight up truth that most christian bands don't confront. That we're not alright, and the only way we will be alright is with God.
this song is amazing. seriously.. but to me.. it doesnt really have anything with God. i think that the firewall... is just an imagenary wall that everyone puts up sometimes, to block people from getting to their heart. i know i do that. i think this song has to deal with loving a person.. & that they lost that person & with out them they aren't alright. this song is true in someway for almost everyone in the world.. how can it not be? we all go through some kind of pain.. & sometimes their is one person you would do ANYTHING for... he's confessing the truth in all of us.. its just a different truth for different people... it doesnt necassarily have to be about God.
Thsie song means that you'r never alright where you are with God,and how you should always be pressing on to get closer to God.
I think that this song is more of a confession. It's almost like he is telling the world, "I may look like I'm doing alright, but I'm really not." It's all about forgetting the things in the world and realizing that we need to get closer to God. I feel this way a lot. These lyrics are amazing, along with the whole new cd.
This songs a meaning full song about our live and haw we need Gods Love through darkness.
"But I feel safe behind the firewall" firewall = God
The songs a very honest voice about teen life and to me self harm. its almost emo.
Its about haw when we are at our lowest the only way out is to see that we are in need of god as we are "broken" without him.
Its a slap round the face for christians who are loosing there contact with god. makes you realise. that your slipping.
its also a reminder that gond wont leave us and sometimes we go through these stages so god can teach us
the song isnt emo
the song isnt emo
its talking bout being depressed and pushing on alone...and moving closer to god
its talking bout being depressed and pushing on alone...and moving closer to god
and trying to move on from possible self harm or drug useage
and trying to move on from possible self harm or drug useage
it always has a deeper meaning then emo
it always has a deeper meaning then emo
It's not really emo at all. What I got from the song was that everybody is a broken person inside; nobody really has it all together, but in order to be "cool" in the eyes of others we try to hide our weakness. (It's "a wound that no ones wants to speak of".) So for example, the firewall he feels safe behind is that veil of coolness he hides behind around people.

Well, Lemming, I agree with you on just about everything. However, I don't think you're correct in the assumption that the firewall = God. I think it's more a man-made shield(like a firewall in a car) that "protects." The song then continues with "I'm not alright" so if he was in fact safe behind God already, why would he be "not alright"?
I think that he is talking about coming out from behind his own barriers having God burn them down, revealing everything and healing him.
i think the firewall is a wall that we ourselves build because we dont want people to see the real us "i only want to be loved, but i feel safe behind the firewall" i think means that we want people to see the real us but we're afraid of what they'll think
this song is great, but theres this one line i dont get..
The cool is just how far we have to fall.
I've been thinking about it all day, and i can't quite figure it out.
First look at the line before it that goes "If weakness is a wound, no one wants to speak of." From what I can understand, its saying we all have problems, but for the most part keep them secret. Using this knowledge, the line "then cool is just how far we have to fall" could mean that our reputation (cool) is what is holding us back from confessing, because what we hide might lower others opinions of us. Hope this helps!

I think this song could be about someone who is portrayed as always being a happy person and no matter what happens they'll be fine but really that person gets emotional sometimes and isn't alright when some things happen and that person is confessing this to someone.
this song is, in fact, about God...after struggling through many difficult times, the band grew much closer to God and realized that it's ok to say that they were not alright.
i feel like this all of the time in my spiritual struggles of daily life, and I absolutely love Sanctus Real for writing this song because it hits so hard on the truth of life and emotions.
