Chorus of angels,
Destroy my silence, x2
That haunts me, it claims me,
While darkness walks beside me.

I saw the angels sing along
To wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Their voices will rise
To test the strength of man
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world

(wake up now) x3

We will see the fire,
The skies will open up,
The clouds will burn red and
Our sins will forget us,
And time will not shake us
Our hearts are made of gold

These walls wont overtake us x2

I saw the angels sing along
To wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Their voices will rise
To test the strength of man
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world

We will see the fire,
The skies will open up,
The clouds will burn red and
Our sins will forget us,
And time will not shake us
Our hearts are made of gold

These walls wont overtake us x2

I saw the angels sing along
To wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Their voices will rise
To test the strength of man
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world

Chorus of angels,
Destroy my silence, x2
That haunts me, it claims me,
While darkness walks beside me.

I saw the angels sing along
To wake up the beautiful sleeping world
Their voices will rise
To test the strength of man
Wake up the beautiful sleeping world

(Chorus of angels,
lead me in a prayer that will
shake the foundations of the earth.)


Wake up now

    Angles cannot save us only Christ can!! But God will send his Angels to wake up the world. The world IS sleeping, many christians today are slumbering...they think they are saved but they desperatly need to continue seeking Christ everday!

    This is one of my favorite songs ever,this song to me is about how we are all tempted and harassed by the devil every day and in the end our sins will be destroyed and Christs return will be led by the Chorus of Angels...Deep and completely awesome!

    I think this song is about how no one has faith in christ anymore, and everyone is selfish. This song is talking about how the angels will save us all, by waking up the world. Meh, I could be wrong, but that's what I think it means, and this song is just totally amazing, the new CD is fucking amazing. -Aaron

    To me its seems to be about the world today. How people need to open their eyes to what is really going on around us. And then we need to stand up and make some changes (test the strength of me) But like Aaron said, thats just my opinion. And I agree, best HTD album yet.

    they are talking about in this song about a person, this person has a closed mind to the word. when he says Chorus of angels, destroy my silence, That haunts me, It claims me, While darkness walks beside me, he is asking the lord to come into his heart, he is asking the lord to help him and end this silence in his life. good sermon song

    What about the Chorus Of Angels announcing the Apocalypse? Already the ambient of the song sounds really apocalyptical to me. Angels will come to test the strength of us.

    i dunno, i think i agree with AutumnInAshes. I think this song has to do with the Apocalypse, in the Book of Revelations cuz the end of the world is caused by a "chorus of angels". It's funny though, cuz this is actually the song that drew me to HTD!

    Totally awesome song! I love it! I think it is talking about someone who has backslidin', and how they need to wake up to Chris and the reality of the world we live in today and what's to come, for their own sake, the sake of the ones they love, and of the very world itself.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
