This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's the principal, it's the issue
That your principal would dismiss you
Because you don't fit into the all-American box
That coffin created for creative thought
It's disgusting, his priorities
And how we're entrusting him with authority
His gavel's gone down
Before he looked in your heart
He finished this race(ism)
Before he reached the start.
Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven
There'll be a failure to excommunicate
The world just keeps you at an arm's length
Every week you work up the strength
To fight the flames that are hurled
Let your faith shine right through
You know it's the world versus Jesus and you
It's disgusting, their priorities
And how we're entrusting them with authority
Their gave's gone down
Before they looked in your heart
They finished this race(ism)
Before they reached the start
That your principal would dismiss you
Because you don't fit into the all-American box
That coffin created for creative thought
It's disgusting, his priorities
And how we're entrusting him with authority
His gavel's gone down
Before he looked in your heart
He finished this race(ism)
Before he reached the start.
Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven
There'll be a failure to excommunicate
The world just keeps you at an arm's length
Every week you work up the strength
To fight the flames that are hurled
Let your faith shine right through
You know it's the world versus Jesus and you
It's disgusting, their priorities
And how we're entrusting them with authority
Their gave's gone down
Before they looked in your heart
They finished this race(ism)
Before they reached the start

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Hey guys! I think what he's saying is that it really sucks when people judge you without knowing you but Jesus looks at your heart so "as long as there's a heaven there'll be a failure to excommunicate" meaning no matter what other people say, if you're for Jesus then no one can touch you or throw you out. Cause we win in the end anyways! Isn't God awesome!?!?
this song is great, and not as fluffy as a lot of relient k stuff. it covers the utter lack of caring in society. yet the song finds promise in God. for as long as the world abandons people, God will find them, and take them in. so no one is ever truely banished.
this is a friggen awesome relient k song. ive been a fan of these guys for a long time now and im glad theyre getting some air play now. relient k rocks live, too. this song is about how people can turn away from you and make you an outcast, but God will never do that to you. God keeps his promises and outcast or no outcast, Gods on your side if youre on his. its a cool song, kids. heart
i totaly agree with danniegirl and johnathan. and i'd rather be an outcast in this world than with God. this world stinks cuz ppl ARE judgin your everymove and alota times they dont even know you...we may be out cast but they'll never be able to excommunicate us!
this song means that even if you are a loser and people make fun of you for what you believe in, that doesn't matter at all because God loves you all the way. People may try to take God away from you, but you will never be taken from God. very powerful message.
this song is quite literal.. it means that being a Christian you are an outcast and the world judges you according to this... reminds me of a verse in 2 Corinthians... 2 Corinthians 4:17 "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." You will never be judged according to your social status, your looks, your intelligence, or anything by my King. Jesus died for you, do you live for Jesus?
I think is means that Jesus even loves those who no one else does...simply
This song may have been written based on an experience he had in high school, but the meaning goes for anyone who looks different. People judge by what they see, and try to make you feel like an outcast. However, God loves us no matter what, and only He can say when it comes to excommunication. The world can try to excommunicate us for whatever reasons, and the church can try to excommunicate us for a slightly different action on our beliefs, but only God has the decision for excommunication from heaven.
this song is really awesome, I love relient k!!
I like K a lot too, But I don't under stand what "Failure to Excommunicate" means. These guys are awsome. The Live show is great.
