A Moment Suspended in Time

I believe this song is about struggling to stay true as a Christian. I get such a feeling of desperation from this song. The writer knows he's drowning in his sins, and he doesn't know what to do.

These arent the right lyrics, the actual song is completely different on there purevolume.. this must be one of the demos that leaked with the wrong name

the correct lyrics are listed under 'A Moment Suspended in Time' I dont know how to change them though.

I've reported that the titles are wrong in the forums, they should be corrected soon.

I just bought the new UnderOATH CD at midnight this morning. Here are the real lyrics (out of the booklet):

Hold captive, I'm a prisoner In the back room where the water leaks and I'm oh, so cold. Command me on what to do, but we both know neither you or I are in control.

There's something left for me here. I'm grabbing on to what's left of this hole, it's all too real this can't be happening. Never again, ever again, will I say I'm Ok. I'm scared of the fate that will become mine.

No time to talk, you know the drill.

Under my desk this can't be it. I'm only dreaming, I've got to be dreaming. But I can't get up, No time to talk, not this time, this is my place. This is where I arrange.

It's so funny how we see things so clear when we have no time left to live.

So lay back now and take it in, I wont say a word, I wont say anything.

I can't believe how it feels. To stand here in this room, and feel like it's going to blow. I think we're all going to blow.

I've got to be dreaming. We've got to be dreaming. Please don't wake me up. This is the end.

thank you lifemeansbitter for adding the correct lyrics to most of the songs off Define The Great Line!

hahaha about time fools!

Growing up in FL (same state as the boys from UnderOath), I know all about tornado drills, and this seems to be what hes talking about. We were required to get under our desks and wait til we were told to come out. This song is his thought process while experiencing a tornado..Coming to terms with the fact that he is probably going to die. He would rather die under his desk than wake up from his dream. He's ready to meet God. Amen.

thanks again LifeMeansBitter. good catch owen. the whole tornado drill theory would explain alot of the weird, seemingly random comments about the desk and such, but i think the tornado drill is still just a metaphor. Maybe for how we need to lose or almost lose things to see their true value. I am a christian but i will admit it gets visciously annoying when we try to over apply God and Christianity into things that may be simply about life itself. And seeing God created life and all things, then why do we need to over apply and seemingly over compensate for our Belief.

Just a thought.

i dont think its specifically about a tornado, but maybe being referenced to.
