'Knowledge came and devastated
Pressure building behind her eyes
Breathing buried under the weight
Will she, has she died also this day'
I think this is talking about Eve. She ate the 'forbidden fruit' and gained all knowledge (in turn devastated the world).
'breathing buried under the weight' could mean the weight of the world (and all her new understanding) was on her shoulders.
'Her death has been swallowed up by life
This dead will rise
Dying to death and raising to life'
Eve's death has been swallowed up because Jesus Christ died for it. So even though she started sin and is the reason theres sin in the world today, Jesus died covering up the penalty. So the dead will rise. Even though we are dead, if we except Jesus into our hearts we become alive.
In doing so we 'Die' to 'Death we are already in' and 'Raise' to 'Life with Christ'.
'The moment we became alive death was waiting, chasing
And all of us fell and kept breathing
One day, today
A sprits alive, a body has died'
The moment we were born the devil was out to get us, chasing us.
-All of us were born pure, but as we grew we learned sin (werent neccessarily taught),
so we fell (spiritually) but (our flesh) kept breathing.
Once you get saved, the flesh part of you dies (not physically but you stop living by the fleshes desires) and start living by the spirit of Jesus within you.
'In the middle of
All the business
A call to be still
Multitude of words
Quiet be still'
In the middle of a busy and sinful world, God calls us to be still and to listen.
Psalm 46:10 - 'Be still, and know that I am God.'
Multitude of words could be that theres so much going on around us, but He still wants us to listen to what He has to say.
Lol, so that was really really long, but that's my perspective on this song.
i love it!! :)
Flyleaf is such an amazing band and it's so awesome to see that they Glorify God though it all.
