As a teenager I listened to this song often and loved this song when I was lost. I was too prideful as a teenager to put aside my lust for the things of this world and I was angry at God. Now I'm 26, I know the Lord and He has changed my life and is continuing to change my heart everyday. This song speaks to me even more today than ever before. I can finally say "I feel alive today."
This hits different when you feel like the only awakened one in your whole family. I pray one day they could see the light and open their eyes like i have. I love them whole-heartly. i just want them to be happy as well. God, please bless them in every way.
I grew up in a marriage that was like this. I finally stood up to my father. I wish this upon no child. I’m happily married now. And never will hurt my wife this way. No one deserves it. NO One.
Hi everyone reading this in 2024. I used to listen to this song 14 years ago because I was going through pretty much exactly the same thing and I didn't have anyone to confide in. Add into that the pressure of growing up, going to middle school, and then HS and then bullying and it really felt like that would be my life forever. I'm privileged to say that I was able to also find the confidence to stand up for my mom as well but some kids never get that chance. Just know that this is temporary. You still have to fight and press on and you still have to maintain hope. I'm in a much better place now and those experiences although unfortunate and sad in the sense I lost my childhood have made me resilient as well as empathetic in my adulthood. If you have no one to talk never hesitate to reach out. Stay strong.
These songs are so amazing! I just came back to god today. Don't give up on your search, he will lead you to him if you only listen to what he tries to tell you. Christ is the most amazing thing to happen to me. The fire for and fear of god is consuming me. God is great.
I love rock music.........and i love christian rock bands since i am more serious about being a christian now more than ever..........these bands make me feel more connected THANK YOU, they are truly amazing..!!!
LYRICS: As time went on I opened up my eyes Never really knew me You don’t know what’s deep inside Just so you know I’ll never be like you I’ll take what God has made me I’m not an empty shell And I hope they see Instead of following Finally awake I’m feeling like today (I feel everything) It’s all so clear to me Finally awake I’m feeling like today (I feel everything) It’s all so clear to me How many times Have I hated who I was Lost sight of what defines me ‘Cause of airbrush magazines But now I’ve come To cherish who I am Sick and tired of faking A life that wasn’t mine And I hope they see Instead of following Finally awake I’m feeling like today (I feel everything) It’s all so clear to me Finally awake I’m feeling like today (I feel everything) It’s all so clear to me I’m alive, it’s all so clear to me (I’m alive) And I’m alive, it’s all so clear to me And I hope they see Finally awake I'm feeling like today (I feel everything) It’s all so clear to me Finally awake I'm feeling like today (I feel everything) It’s all so clear to me (I feel everything)
I am so proud of myself. After ten years of being a born-again Christian at a bible teaching, non-denominational church with a pastor that donated most of his pay to charity, that I am no longer a Christian and finally awake as an atheist. I remember when this came out though. It says something when people can get through tragedy without the help of someone else. Joseph Rojas has been through some stuff. I have too. The first time around I turned to God. After a cold period of six years (six of my ten as a Christian,) where I sought god in prayer to increase my faith, I got nowhere. Now, as an atheist, I am challenged with a tough road ahead of me and behind me, truly. I am putting my life back together without god and without prayer. This video provokes nostalgia in me though. :) And there's nothing wrong with positivity, as long as you keep reason in mind. Reason has been a good guide for me. I respect Christians and the religious. JS This song brings back memories.
These dudes deserve to be up in the top 3 "Christian Rock" bands ! They're amazing in each song and video. With such deep meaningful music. They're superbly gifted !!
Love this song and album. I picked it up about a year ago at a thrift store without knowing it was christian music. It was sealed, never open and I was looking for punk/rock/ metal music which I didn’t know could be Christian. I was going through tough times and was praying to God for guidance before this and ai cried when I heard the song “Broken Buildings” while I was driving home.
DURING SUCH A DIFFICULT EXPERIENCE, WE COULD IMAGINE HOW MUSIC WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE, BUT THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS, WE SHALL RISE ABOVE, PRAISE GOD JESUS CHRIST!
Wow .. This is the first time I've heard these guys. I have always heard their name just never heard them. Wish I would have listened to them years ago..
I am seeing my childhood in this video. So many deep scars and so much pain inside me almost to the point that I cannot bare it. Thank you God for your strength and protection, without it I live in fear every day.
One of my favorite. Love all your music though. Great testimonies. Living and walking with Gods lead and presence. God bless you all and see you at City Rockfest tomorrow in West V
Whenever whoever you are sees this, I want you to tell our Father thank you for the bands like this, they were feeding us this while our gov and society shoved our face full with everything else. Rise up
Saw this band when they first come on the scene at Muskogee, Ok. took our youth group to see. Their life stories made some of our kids look deeeeeeep. GOD BLESS!
Bro just seen you guys today perform in isle MN. Wish there was more time to fellowship. You guys stuck out to me the most. This song literally is in third person for your dad. Like a song created in his eyes to prophesy him eventually finding yahushua/Jesus. If God ever lays it on your heart reach out. I have so much prophecy to share that were coming into. Similar stuff to COVID. It's wonderful knowing a God who tells you when his hand moves. Love you guys. Shalom(peace)
Song that opened my mind a little to think that we do not wake up from a problematic situation until the damage is done and it is harder to recover, but God always has an alternative for everything and give our lives to it is the first step .
Muy buena banda 7-day sLuMbEr hace como cuatro años me gusta el rock y no me arrepiento de que ahora es mi música favorita sobre todo si alaba a nuestro creador. Gracias Dios.
Brother just remember God is love and his tear feel with yours , he want to heal you broken heart , he loves you so much he sent his Son to suffer on the cross to heal your broken heart.
Wow, it is such a different experience listening to the song and SEEING it. Actually seeing the story behind it. I almost cried. Still an awesomely relevant song in 2013.
I love this song (well band really). Helped me through some of the rougher stages in my life and I love how this song always reminds me that I'm forgiven and that God loves me :) rocking in the name of Jesus ftw \m/ XD
None should go through abuse or any kind of mistreatment. God always there to reach are heart to do what right and to stand for good in others. Even when a love one gets hurt.
One time when I met SDS, I litterally forgot my name when I met the bass player because he was so goodlooking and had an awesome mohawk. But the second time I ran into them about 2 years later, he remembered me! I guess I made an impression on him. lol
I love this song because got me through a lot different times in my life. Made me person stronger 💪 God made who I'm today! No one can't take that away from me.
... If you are a believer, and singing lyrics that r not redeeming, or are speaking death, profanity, and darkness over others then there is a problem there.So this is not a simple issue of "oh you r just close minded" no it is an issue of being set apart and not of this world, as we are instructed by God to be. Be Blessed.
I think this song helps me the most out of all their songs in the service LT. Fersion lost his live his son was born while we were deployed his lol gil was 3 or 4 when he was lost I believe in God it's hard to except his kids growing up without their dad, while me being single made it through I cried like a baby 😭 when I met his wife I still get sad but I believe it's humans sins including my own that causes bad and evil, it might sound weird but it's hard and this song helps
I wish so much I could come in there Los Angeles CA USA I don't want nothing so badly but to come there I ve been there in once 2008 January and still want to go to there greetings Janezki88 from Finland ❤
not sure, but I think this video is based off Joseph (lead singer)'s childhood. I saw them yesterday and he shared his testimony having witnessed his father beat his mother at a very young age. Later he became a drug addict and his mother continued to pray for him. Right when he tried to commit suicide God finally got a hold of him. Amazing story!
As a teenager I listened to this song often and loved this song when I was lost. I was too prideful as a teenager to put aside my lust for the things of this world and I was angry at God. Now I'm 26, I know the Lord and He has changed my life and is continuing to change my heart everyday. This song speaks to me even more today than ever before. I can finally say "I feel alive today."
Glory to glory!!
God is good
Beautiful post I hope you're doing good.
This hits different when you feel like the only awakened one in your whole family.
I pray one day they could see the light and open their eyes like i have.
I love them whole-heartly. i just want them to be happy as well. God, please bless them in every way.
"I'll take what God has made me, I'm not an empty shell"
Wow! This band is climbing up my favorite bands list quickly! I need to get an album!!
Cool song
🙏🏼✝️Amen brother.
I grew up in a marriage that was like this. I finally stood up to my father. I wish this upon no child. I’m happily married now. And never will hurt my wife this way. No one deserves it. NO One.
amen to that brother
Amen, god bless you

LYRICS:
As time went on
I opened up my eyes
Never really knew me
You don’t know what’s deep inside
Just so you know
I’ll never be like you
I’ll take what God has made me
I’m not an empty shell
And I hope they see
Instead of following
Finally awake
I’m feeling like today
(I feel everything)
It’s all so clear to me
Finally awake
I’m feeling like today
(I feel everything)
It’s all so clear to me
How many times
Have I hated who I was
Lost sight of what defines me
‘Cause of airbrush magazines
But now I’ve come
To cherish who I am
Sick and tired of faking
A life that wasn’t mine
And I hope they see
Instead of following
Finally awake
I’m feeling like today
(I feel everything)
It’s all so clear to me
Finally awake
I’m feeling like today
(I feel everything)
It’s all so clear to me
I’m alive, it’s all so clear to me
(I’m alive)
And I’m alive, it’s all so clear to me
And I hope they see
Finally awake
I'm feeling like today
(I feel everything)
It’s all so clear to me
Finally awake
I'm feeling like today
(I feel everything)
It’s all so clear to me
(I feel everything)

Because of the story this tells, I can't like this video enough times. So good. God shines through at all times.
Love this song! My life story! Praise God for Seventh Day Slumber and their ministry!
Having lived it, this video/song brings me to tears...
I know FOR SURE that only th power of Christ brings peace,...hope,....LIFE!

The Cross alone is the answer. Lean not on your own understanding
Remember the Holy Spirit works through what Jesus did on the Cross.
One of my favorite. Love all your music though. Great testimonies. Living and walking with Gods lead and presence. God bless you all and see you at City Rockfest tomorrow in West V

None should go through abuse or any kind of mistreatment. God always there to reach are heart to do what right and to stand for good in others. Even when a love one gets hurt.
I love this song God with all my heart, I couldn't love anything more. (:
One time when I met SDS, I litterally forgot my name when I met the bass player because he was so goodlooking and had an awesome mohawk. But the second time I ran into them about 2 years later, he remembered me! I guess I made an impression on him. lol
mto top curti demais+++++
Proverbs 30:5
