The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Feelings, inside of my head
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you
Understand that it's so hard to tell you, cause you already know
You already know
When it's twice as hard to realize
That I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own
And I'm still waiting for things to change
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough
Feelings, inside of my head
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you
Understand that it's so hard to tell you, cause you already know
You already know
Father, know I love you, and know I am wrong
Lord, please take my life
Make me your son
Make me your son
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough
When it's twice as hard to realize
That I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own
And I'm still waiting for things to change
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you
Understand that it's so hard to tell you, cause you already know
You already know
When it's twice as hard to realize
That I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own
And I'm still waiting for things to change
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough
Feelings, inside of my head
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you
Understand that it's so hard to tell you, cause you already know
You already know
Father, know I love you, and know I am wrong
Lord, please take my life
Make me your son
Make me your son
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough
When it's twice as hard to realize
That I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own
And I'm still waiting for things to change
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
i dig this line: "i lay my life before you, and i'm not getting up."
yea ide absolutly love this song... cept it takes a wierd twist at the end and relates to god.... oh if only relient k wasnt so religious..... oh well they are still a great band
The whole song is about God, not just the end part! This is such an awesome worship song, I'll put this on in my room and just sing a long!
relient k is awesome but i wish they would stick either religious or not instead of mixing it up
yeah the whole song is about god, and even though not EVERY song may pertains to God directly, it still can be about Him. I mean, even if he is talking about a relationship with a girl, it still has to do with God in a certain way. We were created to hook up with people! (ha!) So theoretically, everything has to do with God :-D
just got home from seeing them at fallout 2002 in allentown..they are so awesome. that buffalo at the end..haha...anyway...yeah, when they played this song i was just like so in awe. its been my favorite song since anatomy... came out....tonight when they sang the words "i'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own" it meant a lot because i know i try so hard to make myself happy by myself, but i should really be putting it in God's hands....and then when they went right into "For The Moments I Feel Faint"...amazing...ahh..i love them...if any of you were at Fallout, IM me at JoshsAIMname.
streaksintheesky423 you are so definetaly right i was gonna see them next weekend but i have to go out of town
This song rocks and then some. Seriously, I can put this song on loop and listen to it for hours. Matt Hoopes wrote this song for a change, and did an awesome job with it. Not only is it a great praise song to God, the music behind it rocks with all its harmonization, especially at the end where they break off in to two parts. Definitely up there on favorite rK songs.
i really like this band. and i'm really annoyed by people who keep calling them inconsistant and flaky christians. Are any of us perfect? Do you really think that anyone could produce an album that didn't have a few errors? Also, just because they aren't singing "God Rocks God Rocks God Rocks" doesn't mean they don't have praising God in mind. They like to sing about stuff that is happening in all of our lives, and they put a moral spin on it. Girls, Cars, College, Jobs, ect - this is life people. Anyways, there is my rant. Don't be a critical christian. Later days kiddos, and God bless
o man this is my FAVORITE song theyve ever done...! out of all 4 cds!! ahhh probably just an appreciation for it cuz they actually got the chorus (i guess... :-/) from a boring catholic hymn.... (father, i adore u & i lay my life before u, how i love u)....
ehh srrry man i luv this song tho! ive never gotten sick of it!!! ~ephesians 2:8&9~
