Above Lyrics
Inside I'm gone
You knew that all, all along
Without the distance you never get away
Plastic bag image
It's over now, it's over now
The color fading is all the way to grey
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above
We look above
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above
We look above
Trusting the instinct
It's not about what you think
The one reaction is only to obey
And I'm staring
All around not far down
Judge the distance from the ground and pray
We are strong but we're dumb
We look above
We look above (x6)
We look above
We look above
We look above
You knew that all, all along
Without the distance you never get away
It's over now, it's over now
The color fading is all the way to grey
We look above
We look above
We look above
We look above
It's not about what you think
The one reaction is only to obey
All around not far down
Judge the distance from the ground and pray
We look above
We look above (x6)
We look above
We look above

awesome music on this one. the guitar towards the end is amazing
this is when finger eleven was had a better sound, not that they arent still amazing cause they are but this is one pro song! its awesome, everything about it and plus the fact that there canadian makes it even better.
Everything is made just that much better when its Canadian. But regardless of nationality, this is one awesome fucking band!
well i gotta thank sic and emo for telling me that they are canadians! yeah me and my friends love this song and it has become our drinking song! oh god i love it! so anyway what do you think this song is about anyway? since i can't figure it out at all. oh yeah i'll have to agree with androckw with the guitar part
this song is amazing, i look back and think about how dumb i was.yup im canadain too!finger eleven kicks ass
I think the song has a slightly religious theme..
"We are strong but we're dumb.. We look above, we look above"
We're capable of finding the answers ourselves, but instead we turn to religion for answers..
"It's not about what you think. The one reaction is only to obey"
We push aside our feelings and follow God blindly..
"And I'm staring. All around not far down. Judge the distance from the ground and pray "
I've always had an image about a someone falling into hell and they're looking down and waiting to hit the ground, and then they start praying for God to save them..
I would say a lot of Finger Eleven songs have a slight spiritual feel to them.

It's probably about following trends instead of whatever you want to follow.
"Trusting the instinct It's not about what you think The one reaction is only to obey"
Natural instinct is to want to fit in and you do that by following others examples.
"Plastic bag image" "We look above"
These lyrics talk about finding the trends to follow by looking towards people who we perceive to be better then us.
I think this song has to do with how people look up to god and they dont even try to do it themselves. So its like were doing nothing and in times of crisis, we just pray and dont do the very best we could.
