An Ocean Between Us Lyrics

i think that they are talking about like ....

when they say ...

"how many years have we waited for a ship that never set sail? and how many days have we wasted chasing a love that was not our own?"

like false hopes and dreams that people put into idols and money and material things that will never satisfy you once you pass. being Christians and knowing one of the band members personally, i know they are sad to see how people are so caught up in the false things that this world can never give us like God will give us.

and when it says ...

"is this your salvation ?"

they are saying ... is this world really what you think is going to save you and make you a happy person.

i dont want to get to deep into it , but those are some of my thoughts :)

i'm thinking along the same lines as you i think..

is this your salvation? is this all you can give? i will not stand in reflection of someone else’s dream

i think he's talking about other peoples' aspirations/dreams.. is this what saves you from meaninglessness? is this what gets you through life? is this what gives you meaning? is this your salvation? is this way that you live your life, seeing as it's the influence you have on how other people live their life.. what you pass to other people through your influence.. is this all you can give? I will...

@AILDfan19 Meanwhile, they have about 1,000x as much money as the average person...

@AILDfan19 I'm tired of the people who claim to "know one of the band members", just to lend credibility to their interpretation.

Also, I hate (yet find hilarious) how people kept screaming about how this band is "Christian", right up until Lambesis got convicted of trying to have his wife killed. After that, the scumbag Christians insisted Lambesis was actually an atheist! Oh the stupidity...
