Cover art for Hand Grenade lyrics by Thousand Foot Krutch

Sure it's about God? 'Cause I don't think so. I mean, the verse one and two make sense, but the chorus?! "Get wicked and drop like a handgrenade"? I think he's singing for a girl, ha! The boy looks for love, for a girl, who will change his world.

The first verse "I need your breath to stay alive and make me feel this way I need your rise to look inside Watch how we collide..."

He thinks he will be nobody without somebody, who'll be always close. Somebody, who'll make him feel like his life is meaningful, like he's a perfect person and a real man.

"Take me, make me break Watch me get wicked like a hand grenade"

He wants to belong to a girl that will get him high, who will help him to find something good inside him. He also needs a girl who'll make him just happy, crazy.

"I find it hard to take some time I feel like I could break and I hope you hear my prayer tonight Can you hear my cries?"

He doesn't want to be alone anymore. Maybe he thought he could be a single for the whole life, but then he felt like he "could break". So he prays: "God, help me to find a good girl, a good woman, who can be my wife, who can be the one and only. Of course, You're my God and nobody will never ever mean more to me than You, but You created man and woman, You want us to love each other, help me find somebody to love". The boy wonders if the girl he likes knows he prays for a woman of his life.

Remember - there is nothing wrong when a man wants a woman. It's wrong if he doesn't want to marry her, if he doesn't want to be responsible - this and some other songs by TFK about wanting a girl doesn't say "let's make free love", they say "let's make love". They don't use the word "marriage", but they also don't deny it. God wants some of us to get married, have children etc, etc., there's nothing pervert about it ;).

Maybe I understand it wrong, but love for God is not so sensual like this song, hehe.
