This is our true alarms
This is reality
We will do what we can
We are just figurines
With our theology that we don't understand
And we can't forget the beginning
When he set our broken wings
Oh God, how much does it take
For us to be loved
For us to be saved
We all are birds stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints, we hide our face
All the numbers come
Yeah, they're dialing in
But we can't but to compare ourselves again
I can't believe in this
This blue-lipped lifeless kiss
And we can't see past our thrones
We fight for life within
But our walls are wearing thin
Oh God, where have we gone
When I'm just one fighting indifference
Does it matter what I say
Oh God, how much does it take
For us to be loved
For us to be saved
We all are birds stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints, we hide our face
All the numbers come
Yeah, they're dialing in
But we can't but to compare ourselves again
It's not that there are ever bad intentions
It's more that we forgot where to call home
The important things that we don't know to mention
It's the uniform that we put on
The formula we have for love
Bueatiful intentions
Formula for love
Bueatiful intentions
Formula for love
It's not that there are ever bad intentions
(Beautiful intentions)
It's more that we forgot where to call home
(Formula for love)
The important things that we don't know to mention
(Beautiful intentions)
It's the uniform that we put on
(Formula for love)
The formula we have all wrong
This is reality
We will do what we can
We are just figurines
With our theology that we don't understand
And we can't forget the beginning
When he set our broken wings
For us to be loved
For us to be saved
We all are birds stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints, we hide our face
All the numbers come
Yeah, they're dialing in
But we can't but to compare ourselves again
This blue-lipped lifeless kiss
And we can't see past our thrones
We fight for life within
But our walls are wearing thin
Oh God, where have we gone
When I'm just one fighting indifference
Does it matter what I say
For us to be loved
For us to be saved
We all are birds stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints, we hide our face
All the numbers come

But we can't but to compare ourselves again
It's more that we forgot where to call home
The important things that we don't know to mention
It's the uniform that we put on
The formula we have for love
Formula for love
Bueatiful intentions
Formula for love
It's not that there are ever bad intentions
(Beautiful intentions)
It's more that we forgot where to call home
(Formula for love)
The important things that we don't know to mention
(Beautiful intentions)
It's the uniform that we put on

The formula we have all wrong

Incredible song. Maybe my favorite on the album but not sure yet... These are the correct lyrics
This is our true alarm. This is reality. We will do what we can. We are just figurines with a theology that we don't understand. We can't forget the beginning, when He set our broken wings. Oh God, how much does it take for us to be loved? For us to be saved? We all are birds stuck inside our cage, covered up with praise. Behind our saints we hide our face. Oh, the numbers come. Yeah, they're dialing in. We can't help but to compare ourselves again. I can't believe in this-this blue-lipped lifeless kiss. We can't see past our thrones. We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin. Oh God, where have we gone? When I'm just one fighting indifference, does is matter what I say? It's not that there were ever bad intentions-it's more that we forgot what we call home. From important things that we don't know to mention, it's the uniform that we put- the formula we have for love.
Thanks.
Thanks.
On an interview podcast on itunes from effect radio, the band says that this song is a rant about some churches and people lose focus on their message and instead become concerned with money, and turn the churches into a "business". I don't really see this message in the song too well, but hopefully this adds to the discussion.
I think, when you listen to the song and read the lyrics, it's quite easy to imagine that this song is about the slight corruption of church officials and financial benefits. "Behind our saints, we hide our face" easily portrays this as people will use the churches teachings to force the congregation to feel obliged to be a financial supplier for the church. At the beginning of the song, the line "And we can't forget the beginning, when he set our broken wings" is referring that we need to remember that faith is more than just an institution...
