Collapsible Lung Lyrics

Cover art for Collapsible Lung lyrics by Relient K

Anyone noticed how the first 10 songs on the album are very shallow, worldly and disjointed, very much unlike Relient K? Well, that's the idea. Forget and Not Slow Down was an amazing album that Matt wrote after his fiancé left him. This album is kind of a Part 2 in a way. "Between the miles of open roads" Matt "lost sight of what might matter the most" (which is God) in order to try and find the same love that his ex-fiancé gave him. However, he kinda redeems himself in this final track, saying that he hopes he hasn't heard the last words from the Holy Ghost.

Is the album up to par with Forget and Not Slow Down? Heck no, and it'll be hard for Relient K to ever top that album. The lyrics on this album might seem extremely shallow at first, but once you see the brutally honest meaning behind it, it's really a fantastic album.
