King Of The Closet Lyrics
I answer with a restless ok but I'm about to blow when you're gone
I keep this to myself; a restless ok but I fear the dawn
I've never been afraid to hide up in the dark
It's the first morning stream of pure light that makes me rather swim with the sharks
And it'll make me say I'm ok even though it hurts more if I stay
And I'm ok. Yes, I'm ok. If that'll make your questions go away
I'm a vampire, I'm afraid the light will set me on fire
I'm cold in a way I just want to stay
And I'm cold this way
Reckon I'll close the door
Pull down the curtains stay close to the floor
Mercy is for the weak; we do not train to be merciful here
Mercy is everything I fear; we do not train to see His mercy here
Crawling again
The heart is screaming with a smile
Pride says no because of the stain
The heart pounds for love, pride says no
Because of what the heart is longing for
I'm not sure I want to be a man anymore
This choice I've got to make,
I've got to make alone
A heart of stone
This choice I've got to make
I've got to make it true
A heart broken in two
I keep this to myself; a restless ok but I fear the dawn
I've never been afraid to hide up in the dark
It's the first morning stream of pure light that makes me rather swim with the sharks
And it'll make me say I'm ok even though it hurts more if I stay
And I'm ok. Yes, I'm ok. If that'll make your questions go away
And I'm cold this way
Pull down the curtains stay close to the floor
Mercy is for the weak; we do not train to be merciful here
Mercy is everything I fear; we do not train to see His mercy here
The heart is screaming with a smile
Pride says no because of the stain
The heart pounds for love, pride says no
Because of what the heart is longing for
I'm not sure I want to be a man anymore
I've got to make alone
A heart of stone
This choice I've got to make
I've got to make it true
A heart broken in two

come on people am i the only blindside fan in this world!? This song is awesome and id say one of my favs;)
ok guys lets stay on subject here. we're not talking about silience we're talking king of closet. which is the best blindside song.
im not sure i wanna be a man anymooooore
I love how he talks in the beginning about how it was never the dark that frightened him; it was the light that terrified him. (obviously the light is symbolic for the light of Jesus). "I'm okay, yes I'm okay if that will make your questions go away." I like that part because it reminds me of when we have an altar call and you ask the person next to you if they need to be down there and they say "I'm okay", but you know they need to be down there... and my favorite line in the whole world: "I'm not sure, I'm not sure I wanna be a man anymore". so cool.
You guys know one thing I love about blindside? They're swedish, and that language tends to have better descriptive language. so all of their songs have this quality... like there are just some lines in their music that you stop and say "wow. that was beautiful." or at least I do. ;)
After much thought over this song, because of my friends negative response to it being "unchristian sounding" the theme is incredible. It is about hiding in sin and darkness and not wanting to accept God's mercy because of pride. It spells it out plainly. Not wanting to be a man because of the battle between the flesh and the spirirt.
Ahhhh! Nothing better than old Blindside! But I agree with Wheresyourhope.
I think that's exactly what this song is about. I can also add that this person is not only proud, but scared of being in the 'light', because their sins will be exposed.
I understand that sometimes the people that act very "religious" and only do traditions and don't focus on jesus can be annoying but they are still christians. And awdrq WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT if you know anything about christianity you would know that they are against homosexualiy and so why would they make a song about their troubles. This song is about a man (I heared that Christian wrote it about his own past) who lives in spiratual darkness and is doing things that are not pleasing to God and he knows what the light is but he is afraid of it posibly because he doesn't want anyone to know what he has done or he doesn't even want to admit to themselves what they have done.
Christianity is about accepting people for who they are, showing grace, loving everyone no matter what. Sure, I don't agree with the physical aspect of it, but it is love, and who are we to say love is wrong?

didn't read all the comments but here it is first of all "KIng of the closet" has nothing to do with gay people it's in the terms of being in the darkness(spiritual darkness)

"This choice I've got to make, I've got to make alone A heart of stone This choice I've got to make I've got to make it true A heart broken in two" here christian talks about how he has to make a chice about accepting Christ and how he has to make the chice himself and not have "christians" push it on him
"Mercy is for the weak; we do not train to be merciful here"
This line is from the movie Karate Kid. Kreese (the bad sensei) had this line in the movie:
Kreese: "We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition: A man confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy."
no, you're not the only blindside fan.....I LOVE this band and I can't wait until the new cd "silence" is released. If u haven't heard "caught a glimpse" yet, u really need to check it out
