I'm a Christian and this song is a song by a Christian band. However the fact that there are religious wars in the comment section is stupid. If you like the song for whatever reason than good for you. If an atheist likes it for the music then food for them. If a Christian likes it for the spiritual meaning then food for them as well. People should just enjoy the music. That's my opinion. In other news this song rocks
Tbh, this song's lyrics can be interpreted for any type of relationship. Religious or not. At its core it's a song about someone going through a struggle that has them so shaken, and feeling abandoned that they just want the one that gives them the most comfort to let them know they aren't alone. The religous debates/ arguments revilving around it are silly.
What I love with this band is that they're always BRUTALLY honest in their songs, they also talk about the bad times they face in their journey with God
Chills! "Save me from the part of me that's begging to die" I've been there. I have literally begged God to kill me, but He was faithful in my deliverance and taught me so much about trust in my darkness. This is a prayer song. It's my prayer.
Wow. That’s an amazing testimony. For me it’s “stay by my side if you leave me I will die.” Going thru the worst anxiety that doesn’t seem to have a root cause. It’s getting better but I just want it gone now - and for good. I’m praying for healing and peace. Not gonna lie prayer didn’t seem to work at the beginning but I kept going at it and it’s working. I pray falling asleep.
I think the line "How can you turn your back on me..." is referring to how we feel sometimes. Even the greatest "pillars of faith" like Spurgeon, Lewis, Graham, etc... have felt times where they've wondered if God is really there. We all have a little bit of doubt. It'll never leave till we hit heaven.
As an Atheist, I'm glad I have the option to listen to this song without feeling pressured into believing 'Jesus is speaking to me' or 'God is saving my soul'. Life is hard, every struggle I've gone through I've come out a better person thanks to hard work and my loved ones keeping me up - I've never needed spirituality. However, some people rely on their faith and I can respect that - and their awesome music taste. :)
So if you passionately pursue the relationship and the direction God wants you to go, then He will make you a beacon of light on a hill. Your job at this point, one of the main reasons to be a Christian, is to just love other people. You don't force people to believe or condemn them when they don't. If you share with them the joy of being in a relationship with God that is deeper than the relationship that you have with your spouse, they will thirst after it with a desperate need.
When I hear this song, for some reason I just start picturing Jesus as he was beaten and fell down with the cross, and when he was nailed saying, 'My God, Why have you forsaken me?' (Lost again, I'm calling your name...how can you turn your back on me when you know my pain.).. I don't know why, just what this song reminds me of.
Dear Fireflight: I can't tell you how much I love this song. It perfectly expresses how I felt at the hardest time in my life, and brings it all to the hopeful end that Jesus brings. Seriously my new favorite song of all time. Much love!
There are not very many artists that I can honestly say "Good Job and Well Done", but this is one of them. :) God bless FireFlight!!!!! GO FAR AND BE BLESSED!!!! :)
only this time you were not interested bout CHRISTIANITY...... but time will come... when the LORD who you didn't see... will let you feel His heart... and HIS LOVE.... saying "SON.... Here I AM..... I WILL HELP YOU FIXED THINGS UP.... "
Im the guy that everyone comes to with problems and somehow God always manages to help me fix them. At one point i had an ex who was going through some tough times. well i showed her one of fireflights songs and she loved it - but shes atheist. she interpreted it slightly different and surprised me by comparing ME with God. Its amazing what Fireflight has done for me. I know this band has helped me in my time of need as well as others and for that, I thank you.
Awesome guitar riffs, awesome song, why can't standard rock radio play this stuff.. i'm so BORED with what's going on in the so called "Top 40" FIREFLIGHT DESERVE to be all over the radio and TV...
How in the world am I JUST NOW hearing this band? I feel like Ive been living under a rock!! I was just searching on iTunes and saw "Pre-Order Fireflight", and said hmm... Ill give it a listen then BAM instant fan!! Bought the new single and their album "For Those Who Wait", and all I can say is WOW, powerful vocals and lyrics with MEANING!!
Exactly. And really, it's a Unity. When people focus on the "religion" parts of it, it can get way out of hand very fast. That's a big reason why most people view Christianity negatively. Because most of us aren't REAL, we're religious. Hit me up if you ever want to chat about our LORD. =) That goes for anybody else who sees this comment.
I think what most religious singers miss is that god doesn't need to be in the song for it to be about him. This is music that doesn't preach. It is simply about someone who finds comfort in something. Be it god or not, it means that the song can reach people no matter who they are. I believe that to be the true test of faith. To be able to follow your own beliefs but not to be consumed by them.
your comment made me cry because i have been there for a long time it took one night 2 friends and a youth group to stop me and make me realise that the last chance i gave god to help me , was the one night God pulled me from my missery and hurt and healed my heart. he still continues to do so .:)
I totally LOVE my sisters. In the last months, she stayed listening to this group for entire days, so I started asking her everytime which song she was listening to. In the end, in this period I'm listening some of their songs once in a while. But today I found THIS. OH MY GOSH. Have to get some culture about this group.
this song makes me think of the many times we have tried so hard to get through things in life, but may have lost our focus on WHO was the one that never left us , and this song is also a reminder that we should NEVER forget who He is ,... even when we are going through a burdened battle,.. just look up and keep this song in mind !!!
Just came accidentally on this vid, i gotta say its very good! I actually listen to a lot of hiphop but i like some rock but i like this song. I think im gonna listen to more songs of them!
this song has always been my song... ever since i've heard it.. fireflight is one of my favorite bands and one of the bands that have saved my life ....
I appreciate that they don't sugarcoat. The message is right there, and it really hits you hard. I've just started listening to their music, but I'm loving their style and how they deliver their messages. I'm slowly becoming a fan.
When there is seem to no hope, just hold on, and call His name, as your Saviour. Thank Lord Jesus, You lead me to this song,You know i love so much music. 🙏🙏
thanks fireflight your song really blessful even i'm alone maybe the fan of christian metal in my church in indonesia but God's word is alive thank you guys
this literally inspires me in some way. I'm twenty years old and you brought me to tears- idk where to go or who to talk to sometimes and i hurt myself by pushing my faith behind me like I have none- Thank you though. I know it gets better..
I like this song and I also like Skillet, both religious bands. I've listened to Skillet for the longest of time putting a different meaning than God into it and nobody got hurt because of it. The same applies to this song. It's up to interpretation depending on your beliefs
Truely AMAZING!!!! These guys are just mind blowing and they are super nice! I had the chance to meet them in 2010 and they are the nicest. Keep up the good work!
i dont care if your an atheist or religius i dont care if you have a painful past or just want to comment i dont care if there is a god or not what i care about right now, is the music, and how much i enjoy it we all came here for good music, not to pray, or to nag on those who prays
Woah. I really like it! Much better than any of your other stuff I remember. I wish I liked her voice more, though. I have a feeling this is what Flyleaf would sound like if the lead singer sounded more like the lead singer of this band. I'm not saying it's bad, but I do wish I liked her voice more. But I love everything else about this song! Well done Fireflight!
As an atheist, I can agree that as long as a Christian rock band doesn't use the words "God" or "Jesus" in their lyrics, then they're OK with me. Whether their message is about God or not, as a non-believer I need to be able to interpret this song in other ways. And Fireflight does a great job at allowing me to do just that. Great song, great band!
Amazing. Fireflight is coming back with a bang. I am so going to see them on their next tour! They are just such Beautiful of lyrics. Says just what i need them too right now
The scary thing about this song is that the chorus feels quite empowering and genuine. I can sort of feel the "energy" and "strength" behind the chorus.
