This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hallelujah, we can finally hear
It's a miracle we feel anything at all
Things we planted on the worst days of the year
Grew to fingers that rip at the joy
And set our backs against the wall
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There are no enemies in front of you
Hallelujah, we can finally see
How the bitterness was bruising on our skin
We didn't notice that grace had run so thin
Till we're falling apart and the cracks in our hearts let the truth sink in
It's a miracle we feel anything at all
Things we planted on the worst days of the year
Grew to fingers that rip at the joy
And set our backs against the wall
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There are no enemies in front of you
Hallelujah, we can finally see
How the bitterness was bruising on our skin
We didn't notice that grace had run so thin
Till we're falling apart and the cracks in our hearts let the truth sink in

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I can say, having been divorced and now married to a Christian woman, that this song speaks very well of the conflicts we have with the people we love the most. The people we hurt the most. The people we would defend from others, but hurt ourselves. There are no enemies in front of you, is a call to remember the beautiful person you love, underneath all your sin against them. Throw down yourt weapons, there are no enemies in front of you.
Also, as with all relationship conflict, God teaches that if we have unresolved conflict, to resolve it before we come to Worship Him. We cannot hear Hallelujahs when we are so full of bitterness. We cannot rationalize it and be close to God. We can barely hear anything at all... but the thoughts of bitterness in our own minds.
But when we practice giving and receiving forgiveness it brings healing to our relationships, to ourselves, and to our relationship with the Forgiver Himself. He wants us reconciled to each other, and to Him.
Lay your weapons down There are no enemies in front of you
On a technical note- I love the intro going into Weapons. Set your audio program for cross-fading, and it will be fantastic.
Mark W I have loved Jars of Clay from the beginning. Though I have not been close to the band-mates personally, there music, when it entered my life in 1995 found a place in my heart. It communicates and understands some of my deepest feelings, and not all of them good or pleasant- but they have helped me through a lot. Frail (the original instrumental) is a song I have cried to in the car on the road) and Worlds Apart is the continual prayer of my life. This latest album is one of their best, and I am very glad I found it.
