Hey beau99 my intent is not to be controversial but I would have to say this song is one of the most joyous songs on the album. Most of the song does describe a rather lousy life... but it really doesn't differ from any of our's. The main character may have made the worst of his life but Christ was there at the end to take him home. As humans, we all are the wolf, blood dripping from our fangs. I love how the song describes Christ visiting the man and the only thing they reminisce is the moment he remembers Christ becoming the Savior and Lord of his life. It was the beginning of true significance in this man's life.
My favorite lines are:
"I was so scared of Jesus but He sought me out
Like the cancer in my lungs it's killing me now
And I've given up hope on the days I have left
But I cling to the hope of my life in the next"
I totally agree. When I had this album, I told all my friends about this amazing song, "Deathbed." I told them that it was perhaps one of the best songs Relient k has written. They listened to it, and when I asked their opinion, they said, "It's pretty and all, but it's too sad."

I couldn't hide my amazement. I told them how it was about a broken man who found Christ and reconcilliation in Him in his last days. The lyrics you posted pretty much sum up this belief.

Even if this song is "too sad," how could you dislike it? Or even considerate merely, "pretty?"
i think people would call this song just "pretty" and "too sad" is because people don't want to admit that it's ture and it reflects allot of us (myself included). another thing that people mite not like about it is that it lays bare the fact that we all need jesus in our lives and that that is something we try to bottle up inside and ignore (again myself included).
