Liquid Lyrics
<b>.:: Liquid ::.</b>
Arms nailed down,
are you telling me something?
Eyes turned out,
are you looking for someone?
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
Blood-stained brow,
are you dying for nothing?
Flesh and blood,
is it so elemental?
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
Blood-stained brow,
He wasn't broken for nothing.
Arms nailed down,
He didn't die for nothing.
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
are you telling me something?
Eyes turned out,
are you looking for someone?
The one thing that I know.
are you dying for nothing?
Flesh and blood,
is it so elemental?
The one thing that I know.
He wasn't broken for nothing.
Arms nailed down,
He didn't die for nothing.
The one thing that I know.

This song is about Christ's death on the cross. Great song to remind us of what He did for us.
This song is awesome. I love Jesus.
anybody know what the guys in thr background say in the begining of the song??
So I'm a music major studying for his music history class, and I just had a funny experience.

We're currently studying Gregorian Chant, and I'm listening to one of the listening examples - it's a sequence (a genre of chant used as a part of the mass in the middle ages) called Victimae Paschali Laudes - and the second line is the exact melody from the song "Liquid" by Jars of Clay. I haven't listened to that song in probably 10 or so years so it's like a crazy deja vu (sp?) flashback thing all of a sudden (ok so...

I haven't listened to that song in probably 10 or so years so it's like a crazy deja vu (sp?) flashback thing all of a sudden (ok so maybe that's a slight exaggeration). So I look up the J of C song and sure enough, Jars of Clay sampled this particular line of chant from this Sequence.
THIS is what the guys in the background are saying at the beginning of the song! The fact that it sounds like a sample from a recording of Gregorian Chant explains why it's so echo-y and hard to understand (they're speaking Latin). Fortunately, my textbook has a translation of the text, which is: "The Lamb has redeemed the sheep; sinless Christ has reconciled sinners to the Father." Fits in pretty well with the rest of the song, eh?
Well, this whole experience was so unexpected, I just had to put it out there in hopes that someone else benefit from/care about this information.
explosive donut, there's your answer, 3 years later...I wonder if you even still care, haha. I, too always wondered what they were saying.
Wow this song blows me away! Its just amazing. Its such a great line 'This is the one thing that i know'. Reminds me that although nothing else is certain, god is.
everytime I am going to sin, I listen to this song and think about Jesus and what he did for us, and it saves me. It saves my soul. I love how I can listen to this music and enjoy my Savior.
I really like the sound of this song even though the overall meaning of the lyrics don't do much for me.
