It’s sad that not many people can see the beauty and out right effort put into this unknown masterpiece. These songs saved me from my loneliness few years back, I don’t know where I’d be without these living legends.
I listened to this song many times before I read any of the comments and before I even realized that it is a christian band, but even after getting the right context and actually reading the lyrics - I still like my first impression. I felt that the he is speaking to his younger self, about how he became something he never thought he could be. How through all this life journey, only our younger self understands the dreams, the pain, the struggle - everything it took to get here and of course - how everyrone wants to be somebody, but not everyone is willing to pay the price. I know that lyrics dont fit when you dig depper but I cherish this interpretation of mine.
This reminds me of someone.. Who I used to rely on emotionally and I had no idea I did. Now that person is gone, I'm stronger. Yet I'm still thankful. I'm ever so thankful.
When I discovered this song I was not a believer. Fast forward to 2019 - 2020 I found out this band was a Christian band and found more of their songs. Thank you. God you knew the future before I did.
I just love how this song is about God. It really resonates with me because of that. When I first listened to it I heard the first line and knew I would love it... by the last line it dawned on me that it’s about God and I love it that much more
Well then they don't know God. I am sick of fake Christians like that. If you like it go ahead and listen to it there's no license for listening to music.
The lyrics in this song always make me cry. Why?... Because, to me, I feel like the lyrics are telling me who I really am. Thank you Thousand Foot Krutch for making this song. It's good to know that, I guess, someone out there can relate to me and I can relate to them. Thank you.😂
+David Murphy - Agreed! I'm going to be 61 in a month and this song still speaks to me. It shows me my ego's insignificance in the face of our Holy forgiving God. Even at this age, I find my flesh wants me to be 'somebody', when in reality, all an need to be is in Christ.
As a song writer myself, I have found it is hard to rhyme words with God and Jesus. But in all seriousness, it is so no believers can come to listen to it without feeling awkward and maybe songs like this will be enough to plant the seeds that God needs.
I sent this to my son. we have distance between us...this I have prayed on for a little over a decade...yet it remains what it is. my prayer now is simply that he knows the Lord and how loved he is...geez I miss that boy.
I could recommend some of citizen soldiers stuff. They're new and have some utter gems written within the year. However, those are a) realy depressing or at least start that way and b) surrounded by angry songs. I'm not okay is my favourite, but if I had to recommend a song to someone, I'd recommend would anyone care.
Word to all out there: don't become somebody you want to be, you are yourself in many ways: unique, unbreakable, brave, benevolent, respectful and loyal to the core.
What a beautiful song! So many inspirational songs feel shallow, but this one gets me! I love how it is so sympathetic to my weakness and frailty, but also makes me feel like I should do better, and I can do better. Masterpiece!
This is real music! Soul songs :) Every time I listen to a TFK song I see a deeper meaning to it. It doesn't even make a matter if I know every lyric by heart.
You have opened my eyes to so many things I didn't want to see. You have given me the inpiration and the motivation to be the man I am really supposed to be. Just by being who you are. I'll never be able to put into word how much you mean to me. No one will ever take your place in my heart and you will always come first/. I promise to do everything posible to be the man you need me to be.
Well its covid season and its currently 1:08 Am Wednesday September 30th 2020 and i just found this band and i have benn listening to them for hours now im 13 by the way an i 100 percent recommend thousand foot krutch
I got the chance to see these guys in concert at Night of Joy in Orlando Florida last year and they were amazing. Yes, some of there songs are christian, they get sold in christian book stores, and are played on christian radio stations and stuff like that. But just like other bands in this style of music (Switchfoot, Disciple, Red, etc.) they aren't a total, 100% christian band. And there is nothing wrong with that. Songs are meant to express yourself and what you hold to be true. :)
When I first heard this, I didn't even realize it was about God, I thought it was like a parent-child relationship thing. But it's such a good song, no matter what way you think about it. I listen to it almost every day
I don't care if these are Christian and this song is dedicated to God or Jesus or whoever, I love this song and to me this song would be dedicated to someone I love too :) I love TFK and nothing will stop that.
hey don't condemn yourself! we all make mistakes, none of us are perfect... Jesus paid it all for you so even though you feel like there are consequences, He said cast your burdens on Him and also to take up His burden for it is easy and His yoke for it is light.. you don't have to bare it He has taken that burden from you! thank you for sharing... even though you may not always feel strong the Bible says His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses.. so He is your strength!
