Cover art for Blue Mix lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy

J35U5_owns hit this on the head. Theres no dought the song is all about the christian bands that fight each other for the money instead of thier meanings. The is a reason that theres a musical catagory called CHRISTIAN rock. If you sing in it, then your putting a message out there.

I never knew this was a contest/ I guess we lost it long ago/

They're saying when they got into this style of music they went in it for the message they had, not the money and thats why "we lost it long ago"

So, blue mix means to weaken sound/ turns concert halls to battlegrounds/

its the fight of the bands for the glory

Make us pay to go on tour/ marked up t-shirts to match yours/ Blind fans, gold mine/ you are, dollar signs/

I don't believe that this portion is about the bands, but the publishing companies that are feeding from the bands who are out there for what they believe.
