We Are The Reasons Lyrics
This is a poison everyone knows
It runs through my rivers.
created and cured by the same, and it will flow.
Tear through these holds, and rip away my heart.
with an effort so constrained, this is the venom in my veins.
This is the venom in my veins, created and cured by the same.
This is the venom in my veins. (I've spoken reckless words?)
And I know I've built a bed of unrest
that destroys my heart once I lay my head down.
Destroys the crutches that I've built,
I thought they were sound.
We are the reasons for health and light, for illness and weakness.
It will flow from my body to yours, an infection that can't be cured.
We are the reasons for health and light, for illness and weakness.
We will tear through these holds.
We will tear through these holds or we will keep them strong.
We are the reasons for health and light.
For illness and weakness, we will tear through these holds
or we will keep them strong
We will keep them strong.
With an effort so constrained, this is venom in my veins
created, cured by the same,
by the same.
I've chosen selfless over selfishness,
I've left a bed of disgust and unrest.
Destroyed the crutches that I built myself, I found that they were never sound.
It won't consume my heart anymore.
And I know I've built a bed of peace
that restores my heart once I lay my head down.
Rebuilds the crutches that I destroyed myself.
I plead to change my life, just before I dream
and wake to realize that change is inside me.
We are the reasons for health and light, for illness and weakness.
We will tear through these holds.
We will tear through these holds or we will keep them strong
We are the reasons for health and light.
It runs through my rivers.
created and cured by the same, and it will flow.
with an effort so constrained, this is the venom in my veins.
This is the venom in my veins, created and cured by the same.
This is the venom in my veins. (I've spoken reckless words?)
that destroys my heart once I lay my head down.
Destroys the crutches that I've built,
I thought they were sound.
It will flow from my body to yours, an infection that can't be cured.
We will tear through these holds.
We will tear through these holds or we will keep them strong.
We are the reasons for health and light.
For illness and weakness, we will tear through these holds
or we will keep them strong
We will keep them strong.
created, cured by the same,
by the same.
I've chosen selfless over selfishness,
I've left a bed of disgust and unrest.
It won't consume my heart anymore.
that restores my heart once I lay my head down.
Rebuilds the crutches that I destroyed myself.
and wake to realize that change is inside me.
We will tear through these holds.
We will tear through these holds or we will keep them strong
We are the reasons for health and light.

To me, the "venom in my veins" is our own blood. what makes us human, and all of our humanly problems, are created by us, and then cured by us. (Created and cured by the same) Like, say.. I guess I'll refer to "I am Legend." where they thought they had the cure for cancer, and then that cure created a bigger problem, to which Will Smith's blood was immuned to so he was able to find the cure to this new infection, that was created by our own medications. (We are the reasons for health and light, for illness, and weakness) So that is what they are saying about humanity, that we are the destruction as well as the construction of ourselves. Yet it's trying to tell us, inspire us, that we CAN change, we have that power. But habits or addiction, greed, lust, and so many things get in the way; maniplate us. and just the way of humanity, Is An Epidemic.
I must say that your interpretation of these lyrics is an epic one indeed.

i agree..epic indeed
i agree..epic indeed
seems to me this song is about sin....and finding comfort christianity and in knowing their sins have been forgiven
now that i think about it, that makes a lot of sense.

i kind of agree with that. i think it is about about sin but more about reconciling them with yourself and learning to move on in a more positive direction. not specifically reconciling them in christianity, just cause there are no obvious references to christianity, and because the band isnt a christian band (which the band themselves have stated). either way this song kicksass!!!

I completely agree with you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way about this song. I love WCAR.

These lyrics have nothing to do with chrisianity in my opinion. Most of the lyrics in here portray buddhist beliefs such as when he sings, "I plead to change my life, just before I dream and wake to realize that change is inside me." Is basically a summary of the purpose of the buddhist religion, to find your inner self and have power over your soul. Buddha means "the awakened one" and it means waking up to find your true self and separate your self from the illusion we call life. I believe the song goes through a...

I think what WCAR tries to do is take the best parts of christianity, and different philosophies, like Buddhism, and use them to better peoples' lives. Yes, the positive outlooks and attempt to find the deep meaning does support the Buddhist beliefs, but they also support christianity. Also, "Created and cured by the same," is definitely a christian reference.

the intro sounds funny
AutumnPaintedMindset-very good man, your interpretation is the best i've heard by far.
This songs chorus is the most awkward thing ever. it makes michael Cera look like Sinatra.
awesome song song!!!
He says I spoke your English words; not I've spoken reckless words.
this song is about how we as human beings have the power to either help or destroy others with our words or actions. We as human beings get in the way of our own growth by creating crutches that we lean on) instead of mannin up and doing the right thing that we know we should do. Anger can be a crutch and it seems to fit here: "Destroyed the crutches that I built myself, I found that they were never sound. It won't consume my heart anymore." Anger is consuming: "This is a poison everyone knows It runs through my rivers. Created and cured by the same, and it will flow." If you feed anger it will grow and some people feel a false sense of strength with it ( think bullies) And it will lead to lashing it. It seems this song is starting with a problem, but working through it. By the end he recognizes the problem and vows to fix it:" And I know I've built a bed of peace That restores my heart once I lay my head down. Rebuilds the crutches that I destroyed myself.
I plead to change my life, just before I dream And wake to realize that change is inside me."
Meaning that you can improve yourself no matter what the obstacle in your way. Great message.
