Cover art for Above lyrics by Finger Eleven

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..
