This song is about a story in the bible called The Rich Man and Lazarus. And most of their songs have a Christian based message to them which makes them even more awesome!
This song, based on the lyrics, appears to be based on the parable of the rich young ruler. In which he's sent to "hell". And he can see the beggar he didn't help across the " chasm" being comforted in paradise. He then asks for a drop of water off the tip of the beggars finger to cool his tongue but is denied. He then asks if he can at least warn his family not to come here but is also denied that. That's what the lyrics seem to talk about. That's a real story in the bible.
Btw, this is a reference toThe Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man... Luke 16:19-31 ... The coorilation is SOOO cool . How she says "I'm so thirsty" and "the chasm isn't fixed here" and "one way ticket" ... This blows my friggin mind ... Most Christian music is so corny ... This is NOT corny. This is DOPE!
"While the enemy was losing the battle today, they cried out to us, “Memento Mori! We are human too! We are in pain and we are dying!” I answered them; hoping they would listen, “Break off your pact with the Dread Army! That is what is killing you! Walk away and take your life back! I know its all you’ve ever known, and walking away will leave a wound; but it will heal! When it does, do not enter into your pact with those vultures again! You don’t have to be slaves to Death! We’ve come to bring the truth of freedom! You were meant to be free!” But they wouldn’t listen and kept crying out, “Please give me something! I’m so thirsty.” I tried again with more urgency. “If you die here this way, you will have wasted your life on death and you will have never lived! Once you die here, the chasm will be fixed and you can never undo it. Turn from Death and drink this life-giving water we are offering you!” The battle continued to rage, some turning and joining the Passerby Army, others dying." Please read the booklet that comes with the cd. The text above is the entry that goes with 'Chasm'. All these entries give the entire album at least two extra layers of depth. Amazing.
Chaniel93 actually this song is about the rich man who died and went to hell. The poor man dies and goes to heaven. The rich man looks up at Lazurus and asks for water to drink because of how hot flames are. He denies him drink so, he begs him to tell his friends about the horrible place he has been condemned too.
Break up already wake up now Walk away take it all back now Don't be quick to lick the scab off You're spitting in his face with the rest of them Break up already wake up now Walk away take it all back now Don't be quick to lick the scab off You're spitting in his face with the rest of them Please give me something I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty Oh please, let me warn them, Don't you come here, don't bring anyone here The chasm isn't fixed yet. Take this water Drinking ever deeper, living water Please give me something I'm so thirsty I'm so thirsty Oh, please, let me warn them. Don't you come here, don't bring anyone here Please Please give me something I'm so thirsty I'm so thirsty Oh, please, let me warn them. Don't you come here, don't bring anyone here
Good lord all these people coming here and saying"Divergent brought me here" or "I'm only here for divergent!" Why? Just why? This song was never even in the movie or on the Divergent soundtrack-just to clear some things up. But honestly, just cuz it's mentioned in the author's playlist all these people think that this song was created for Divergent and it wasn't. Flyleaf is an amazing band and Lacey is an incredible singer. The song and soundtrack came out before Divergent.
lizzie mclean True! Not to mention, there are clear mentions of Christ's passion. "You're spitting in his face, with the rest of them." "Living water," And; "I'm so thirsty," is reference to when Jesus was dying on the cross. I find it a little bit odd that people don't pick up on it.
Actually it doesn't matter if +Cewkie Tron is Catholic or not because either way, he/she is correct with this song referencing towards religion because this song was based off of a story in the bible. Lacey stated this herself in an interview somewhere. And Christians do share some of the same views on religion as Catholics, but not all. And no, they don't "think they're all right" so idk why all you people are getting so butthurt about the comment. Every single one of these assumptions about Catholics were wrong so...shut up.
For those of you asking what the song is about Its about lazuras the begger and the rich man, the rich man is asking abraham for water while he is in hell, he gives it to him, yet the deeper he drank the thirstier he got He then asked abraham to send him back to warn his family members, abraham told him he cant and that if they didnt listen to the prophets they wouldn't listen to the dead even if they rose again
It's not about being religious it's about having a relationship with God, with Jesus, SO MANY PEOPLE GET THIS MIXED UP and that's why people aren't satisfied. He's the one who loves you when you don't believe in Him, when you turn your back, when you ignore Him, He still loves you & His Love is so immense and when you feel it's so euphoric. You will not know God unless you give him a chance. All you gotta do is take ONE step to Him and He will take 99 to you. God bless all !
No matter what my brother sees or hears he wont believe. This song makes me cry. I dont want my little brother to end up like the rich man.😢 My heartbreaks everyday. I pray for him all the time to somehow find God.
Hi , don't stop praying for his protection and salvation and always show him how much you love him ie no nagging ,you are fighting a battle never stop..
"God has landed on this enemy-occupied world in human form." - C.S. Lewis - I think the video is describing this. You see the man in the video at first he is in paradise, and then he suddenly is in the army and in a war. That's just like Jesus, he left paradise to come to this earth and give his life for us. The reason Lacey's on the 'evil' side, is because all of us were. He came to save us, and we killed him. We were all dead in sin before God rescued us. That's the image I get from it.
+Joe A. Verage I'm debating what of what you said I completely agree with and don't but I love your way of thinking, and agree with the majority of the statement.
So I haven't listened to this song like like..5 or 6 years, and most of the time with old songs I usually forget the lyrics. I play this and I sing s p o t o n to it. Flyleaf was and still is my first ever favorite female singer band. Lacey has such an amazing voice
Luke 16: 23-28 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ 25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ 27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ Jesus Christ is the living water.
Amen Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:10-14 KJV
For everyone that is wondering, Divergent fans are here because in the bonus section of Divergent, Veronica Roth-the author- wrote a playlist for the book. It says, "'Chasm' by Flyleaf. And this song gets me into the bad aspects of Beatrice's chosen faction."
This song is amazing, one of my favourite songs! I remember when I first heard it back in 2009, my reaction was "Wow! So much power!" yeah this song is epic.
People it this song is not from divergent but veronica roth who wrote the books used this song to inspire the books she said so in the collectors editon of divergent and anyway this song was wrote way before divergent
i love this song it puts life in a whole new perspective from the first time i heard this song and many other flyleaf songs i was in love with this band.
People can be boring and nonsense here. How can a book or movie ruin Flyleaf or this amazing song? People who found out about Flyleaf before Divergent: you're welcome! Hope you love this band like many of us do!
Julia Diez I love the artsy feel to the video. It's way creative than most videos these days. They're music style has touched my soul like no other music genre has ever. Not talking about Christian Rock...but rock it self.
Julia Diez So true though. A Christian and before being a Christian I never knew they were. Goes for a lot that focus on this genre, only knew a few as Christians because of my gma who listens to basically all kinds of Christian music. Excluding rap piece though, but she introduced me to Lecrae and really it began from there to be an actual follower through and though. Then of course back to the upper topic, I found out they were more so Christian in December of 2016. As for a lot of others.
I have watched this video so many times and it never ceases to amaze me. I am really not sure where I am on the faith spectrum at the minute but I can say that this is one of the most spiritual music videos I've ever seen. The imagery here is so evocative and it makes me think about eternity as a reality, not something that is coming at some point. Yet, I also appreciate how it teaches without preaching- that's an art in itself. I associate a lot of other imagery with this particular video as well; it reminds me of The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis in a lot of ways and the Middle Ages vibe is quite powerful, too. It's not often you get a music video that is so aesthetically deep and I really appreciate whoever crafted the vision for it.
I'm an atheist but Flyleaf are still one of my favorite bands. I can find my own interpretations in each of their songs, that's what's music there for, sympathizing and enjoying.
I like divergent but had no idea this song inspired the series. If that's true, in a way the Bible inspired divergent xD actually pretty awesome if so. (Lacey wrote this song based on a parable about a man dying and going to hell)
after all this years i finally understand this song..but i still don't know the connection of the music video, but i now understand what Lacey was trying to say in her lyrics..it's the "Parable of the rich man and Lazarus" can't explain everything here but if your interested to understand the song, it is found in Luke 16.19-31.."if your reading this, then the CHASM isn't fixed yet" it means u still have the chance to choose heaven or hell..cause once were dead, the CHASM is FIXED..Godbless
Isn't a pagan a person that worships the earth? Wow if it is your worshipping God but only a fraction of who he is.. Why don't you go all the way and accept his Son.. Jesus.. I will tell you from personal experience if you give him your all your life will be deep with meaning.. I mean it's like a world opens up inside you and you can walk around and take power from him and accomplish things with A spiritual Godly power.. There is a cost however and the cost is where most people do not go any further.. If you do however wow.. It can get crazy in a good way
sellinmcgellin peopple pushing that on me is the reason i dont believe in him so please think before you try and push it on people i dont push my beliefs on you. if u believe in heaven n hell thats one thing, and i believe thats where youas an individual will go; however i am not a believer in them so i dont think i will go there.
Fun fact: I actually know the band personally and went to the lead guitarists’ wedding. Even though they don’t make music anymore, I just thought I would share that little piece of info :)
i was at my aunts house (she has a 2 yr old son) and was helpin my grandmother babysit and played this song the words "dont be quick to lick the scab off your spitting in his face with the rest of them." she was like OOOOOOOOOOKAY lets change the song and adian was all like noddin his head back and forth. hed make a great rock star
ok 1 I've never ever heard of the book called divergent. and 2 can someone please explain to me what this song is about?....... It's a simple question please do not comment how's stupid I am for not knowing okay?
Ive never heard about the relevance of the song and the book until I come here to the comments. I just came cuz they're my favorite band and I just wanted to hear them again. Im just like "ummm what?" XD but yeah, I love flyleaf! :D
Letra Break up already, wake up now Walk away, take it all back now Don't be quick to lick the scab off You're spitting in his face with the rest of them Break up already, wake up now Walk away, take it all back now Don't be quick to lick the scab off You're spitting in his face with the rest of them Please, give me something I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty Oh please, let me warn them Don't you come here Don't bring anyone here The chasm isn't fixed yet Take this water Drinking ever deeper Living water The chasm isn't fixed yet Take this water Drinking ever deeper Living water Please, give me something I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty Oh please, let me warn them Don't you come here Don't bring anyone here Help, help, help, help, help, help Please, give me something I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty Oh please, let me warn them Don't you come here Don't bring anyone here
I am so disappointed in myself for not hearing this song when I watched Divergent. I tend to like movies more when they surprise me with a soundtrack that I like.
I like bands like Flyleaf (and Skillet, for that matter), because even though they're religious and that is the main drive behind their songs, the music is up for interpretation to anyone despite their beliefs. ^_^
I'm a musician with a wide range of appreciation for artists. Everything from Elton John to Slayer and I'm amazed by this band. Anything they write that sounds similiar to their other songs is match by gems that stand alone from anything I've heard from anyone else. Even though it's sad Lacey left, at least we got to taste their perfection.
This song is about a story in the bible called The Rich Man and Lazarus. And most of their songs have a Christian based message to them which makes them even more awesome!
I think I've heard about the story of Lazarus in one of my groups in Church?
I always think of the woman by the well. Christ told her she'd never thirst again. She had many husbands. I would think she'd be considered thirsty.
@@coolrobert4335 That’s cool! I actually commented on here the whole story recently if anyone wants to read it.
This also reminds me of the story of the Samaritan woman at the well..
Amen, that's what makes Flyleaf even more beautiful , loved them since I was in middle school
This song, based on the lyrics, appears to be based on the parable of the rich young ruler.
In which he's sent to "hell". And he can see the beggar he didn't help across the " chasm" being comforted in paradise.
He then asks for a drop of water off the tip of the beggars finger to cool his tongue but is denied. He then asks if he can at least warn his family not to come here but is also denied that. That's what the lyrics seem to talk about.
That's a real story in the bible.
YOOO never thought of that, but that makes sense
Steven S. yes all true from the bible. Great song too
Luke 16 is the verse about the rich man and Lazarus
WOW
I love this song! Peace be with you. Focus on Jesus. Peace be with you.
John 7:38
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”
Jesus also said no one who ever drinks this water will ever be thirsty again!
@@bannannamilkshakez2907It implies that Jesus is living water
Btw, this is a reference toThe Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man... Luke 16:19-31 ... The coorilation is SOOO cool . How she says "I'm so thirsty" and "the chasm isn't fixed here" and "one way ticket" ... This blows my friggin mind ... Most Christian music is so corny ... This is NOT corny. This is DOPE!
An absolute work of art. Even ten years later.
Ikrr
make that twelve
An absolute comment. Even three years later

This album is seriously one of my favorites. I just love how they subtly added eastereggs about its story throughout the album. Its amazing!

My Animation I agree
Thank u

+Cewkie Tron Obviously because we're not catholic, we have no idea what half that stuff means lol. Just here for the music.
Cewkie Tron I find you odd for blabbering on about your bullshit religion
I'm not even going to bother.
Actually it doesn't matter if +Cewkie Tron is Catholic or not because either way, he/she is correct with this song referencing towards religion because this song was based off of a story in the bible.

maaaan!! Its 2017 and I still listening to Flyleaf oldest songs lmao!! THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!
Julio Justino 2018 here
2019 here
it's 2019 now and i'm still listening
Now it’s 2020, you still here?
@@Koalalty we'd still be here until the pandemic is over! LOL!
The part where he tells his dog to stay when he knows he's probably going to die is really sad, the dog doesn't know he won't come back....
what part
+Olivia Lockett he holds his hand up for the dog to sit
+Kat Hall what specific like part tho
+Olivia Lockett at 1:20
It's also sad how the dog runs to him to see if he is ok or still alive
It's not about being religious it's about having a relationship with God, with Jesus, SO MANY PEOPLE GET THIS MIXED UP and that's why people aren't satisfied. He's the one who loves you when you don't believe in Him, when you turn your back, when you ignore Him, He still loves you & His Love is so immense and when you feel it's so euphoric. You will not know God unless you give him a chance. All you gotta do is take ONE step to Him and He will take 99 to you. God bless all !
No matter what my brother sees or hears he wont believe. This song makes me cry. I dont want my little brother to end up like the rich man.😢 My heartbreaks everyday. I pray for him all the time to somehow find God.
Hi , don't stop praying for his protection and salvation and always show him how much you love him ie no nagging ,you are fighting a battle never stop..

So I haven't listened to this song like like..5 or 6 years, and most of the time with old songs I usually forget the lyrics.
I play this and I sing s p o t o n to it.
Flyleaf was and still is my first ever favorite female singer band. Lacey has such an amazing voice
Luke 16: 23-28
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

You guys DO realize that this song INSPIRED Veronica Roth, it was not MADE for Divergent. .-.
For everyone that is wondering, Divergent fans are here because in the bonus section of Divergent, Veronica Roth-the author- wrote a playlist for the book. It says,
"'Chasm' by Flyleaf. And this song gets me into the bad aspects of Beatrice's chosen faction."
I havent seen Divergent🤔
I FOUND IT!!!! YAAAS!
I've heard this 2 years ago.
I've been searching forever!
where did you hear it at?
Yea! me too
This song is amazing, one of my favourite songs! I remember when I first heard it back in 2009, my reaction was "Wow! So much power!" yeah this song is epic.
This whole album plus the bonus disk it awesome i can listen to all of it over and over again without gettin sick of it
Her voice...Oh my God...O.O
People it this song is not from divergent but veronica roth who wrote the books used this song to inspire the books she said so in the collectors editon of divergent and anyway this song was wrote way before divergent
Almost 10 years man.. fuck I loved momento mori’s album so fucking much.
Just discovered this song. Its hard as balls. Played it 5x in a row
The symbolism in this work of art is of biblical proportions...
This song is amazing and I can't stop listening to it.
I love the paper cut-out puppets. Its so cool. reminds me of the witches from Madoka
yes omg I'm surprised to see someone point this out
I miss lacey so much. :(
we all do her voice was outstanding and without flyleaf is dead to me
+rinjimaru she did come out with a new solo album about 3 months ago. Life screams. It's awesome.
+salena y you deserve ice cream go get you some ice cream right now thank you for this information
rinjimaru hahahaha. You won UA-cam!!!!
Daoine x you know she's singing solo now right? 🤔 she's still making music just not with the band.
lacey’s voice is so beautiful
One of flyleafs best songs.👍
2018 and still loving Flyleaf~ ♡
Todos los comentarios son tan viejos y en ingles :c por favor no se olviden de canciones tan epicas como esta.
Still love this music video and song 💯🔥🤟🏼🎸🥁
I'm in love with this music video.....
And I quote from Einstein
" The More I learn and the more I study
The more I come to believe in the existence of a higher power "
I miss Lacey's voice :'(
She still does solo work, and I like some of her new stuff. Its very reminiscent of flyleaf.
i love this song it puts life in a whole new perspective from the first time i heard this song and many other flyleaf songs i was in love with this band.
It doesn't matter if you weren't a fan from the beggining it only matters if you're a fan till the end
I'm afraid that if I listen to anymore of these songs, I'm going end up getting all of them.
That video was 10x creepier than expected, and I loved it
Hell is suppose to be depicted as creepy. Premise of the video.
Jusy got back from church. Now I fully understand the chorus... ;( Feeling grateful...
People can be boring and nonsense here. How can a book or movie ruin Flyleaf or this amazing song? People who found out about Flyleaf before Divergent: you're welcome! Hope you love this band like many of us do!
All the memories and pictures.. then her walking out to her baby(because that's why she left).. the lyrics.. it just made me cry..
Loved Flyleaf before Divergent and now I have more reasons to love them♥ Hahahah
i love all of lacey's music. im an atheist and a huge fan. you dont have to be a christian to appreciate a talented singer.
Same. She sings with so much passion.
Julia Diez I love the artsy feel to the video. It's way creative than most videos these days. They're music style has touched my soul like no other music genre has ever. Not talking about Christian Rock...but rock it self.

i love lacey's music to. im moslem btw, and it doesn't matter. This is awesooooomeeeee!! and meaningful
I love that she shares her passion for Jesus in her music
LOVE FLYLEAF!
Watching this in 2020 because of the book divergent. It may be my favorite song now..
Awesome song Awesome album! love every song
Is this song about Lazarus & the Rich Man?
I thought about that too. The sermon at my church today was about that Lazarus and the Rich man and it reminded me of this song.
Actually it is. Lacey talked about that in RTR Edmonton some years ago.
Indeed it is. Good ear.
yes, Nicole.
Yes 😊
I have watched this video so many times and it never ceases to amaze me.

Wow this is a really awesome song and the video is just fantastic.
My favorite song from Flyleaf :)
I remember when I bought their first self titled album. I was in love instantly!
Theyre so amazing , consistent . They never change . Flyleaf for life .
Jesus Christ Loves You.
One of my favorite songs...underated
I like divergent but had no idea this song inspired the series. If that's true, in a way the Bible inspired divergent xD actually pretty awesome if so. (Lacey wrote this song based on a parable about a man dying and going to hell)
after all this years i finally understand this song..but i still don't know the connection of the music video, but i now understand what Lacey was trying to say in her lyrics..it's the "Parable of the rich man and Lazarus" can't explain everything here but if your interested to understand the song, it is found in Luke 16.19-31.."if your reading this, then the CHASM isn't fixed yet" it means u still have the chance to choose heaven or hell..cause once were dead, the CHASM is FIXED..Godbless
pagan here who loves all her music
+Tabbi Cunningham +1, won't ever believe religion's bullshit but love their music
Isn't a pagan a person that worships the earth? Wow if it is your worshipping God but only a fraction of who he is.. Why don't you go all the way and accept his Son.. Jesus.. I will tell you from personal experience if you give him your all your life will be deep with meaning.. I mean it's like a world opens up inside you and you can walk around and take power from him and accomplish things with A spiritual Godly power.. There is a cost however and the cost is where most people do not go any further.. If you do however wow.. It can get crazy in a good way
Alvaro B i respect that
sellinmcgellin peopple pushing that on me is the reason i dont believe in him so please think before you try and push it on people i dont push my beliefs on you. if u believe in heaven n hell thats one thing, and i believe thats where youas an individual will go; however i am not a believer in them so i dont think i will go there.
brian b yes
Those noises at the end are creepy and awesome.
The art style reminds me of the portrait style in LoZ Link Between Worlds
I get that Divergent is a book but what exactly does it have to do with this song? I've never read this book so someone explain connection por favor.
The author mentioned that she was inspired by this song during the process of writing the book.
oooooooohhh okay.
Veronica Roth listened this song while writing Divergent for inspiration to write the book.
Plus in the Dauntless compound, they have something called the Chasm
In the back of the book it has a playlist by the author and this song was on it
I thought I hadn't listened to flyleaf at all and wouldn't know any of their songs, but I know every one lol.
Fun fact: I actually know the band personally and went to the lead guitarists’ wedding. Even though they don’t make music anymore, I just thought I would share that little piece of info :)
I love how my favorite flyleaf song and favorite book are tied together.....wish I could've gotten dauntless but my results showed Candor *sigh
2019 anyone?
It so weird coming back to this as an adult, that and no longer believing in the faith
Luke 16:19-31 ❤
contiplation of significant messages from these talented messengers
Almost 2021 anf Lacey still rocks
This song is one of the Authors playlist for divergent. It is in the book for bonus features.
this song is for you hear every single minute you doing
i was at my aunts house (she has a 2 yr old son) and was helpin my grandmother babysit and played this song the words "dont be quick to lick the scab off your spitting in his face with the rest of them." she was like OOOOOOOOOOKAY lets change the song and adian was all like noddin his head back and forth. hed make a great rock star
ok 1 I've never ever heard of the book called divergent. and 2 can someone please explain to me what this song is about?....... It's a simple question please do not comment how's stupid I am for not knowing okay?
thank you so much!!! I always wanted to know what this song was about (^_^)
I LOVE Flyleaf
Don't get mad but they remind me of a female version. Of Breaking Bejamain.
Woah, I saw the movie but never realized it was inspired by this. What a coincidence since I just saw Divergent 2 days ago.
Me too! I love that book
this is about the story of lazarus in the book of Luke :)
Ive never heard about the relevance of the song and the book until I come here to the comments. I just came cuz they're my favorite band and I just wanted to hear them again. Im just like "ummm what?" XD but yeah, I love flyleaf! :D
love love love flyleaf
I don't know what this is representing about God. But I do miss Lacey she's my favorite singer
I showed this to my mom (she knows more then the bible then I do) and she said its about the story of job which I found cool
+icon for hire i love you guys
Or the story of Job! I suppose that refference would work as well! Job is my favorite story.
+C Red same. I love this song
It's not about Job. It is about Lazarus and the rich man. Here are the verses. Luke 16: 19-31
Letra
Break up already, wake up now
Walk away, take it all back now
Don't be quick to lick the scab off
You're spitting in his face with the rest of them
Break up already, wake up now
Walk away, take it all back now
Don't be quick to lick the scab off
You're spitting in his face with the rest of them
Please, give me something
I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty
Oh please, let me warn them
Don't you come here
Don't bring anyone here
The chasm isn't fixed yet
Take this water
Drinking ever deeper
Living water
The chasm isn't fixed yet
Take this water
Drinking ever deeper
Living water
Please, give me something
I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty
Oh please, let me warn them
Don't you come here
Don't bring anyone here
Help, help, help, help, help, help
Please, give me something
I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty
Oh please, let me warn them
Don't you come here
Don't bring anyone here
2021 and this is the best animated music-video I ever seen.
I am so disappointed in myself for not hearing this song when I watched Divergent. I tend to like movies more when they surprise me with a soundtrack that I like.
This is deffo my fav Flyleaf song
This is my favourite Flyleaf song!
I miss when Lacey was still in the band . I was gonna go see them for the first time but she had left :( I miss their old music !
She's definitely got my respect for her amazing talents 🙌 👏 🙏 ❤️ 💕 💓
It's 2018 for me and still love it!
DIVERGENT
#noonegivesasinglefuck
I give so I guess you wrong, oops
ive never listened to a flyleaf song until now and i got to say i really like this band
I like bands like Flyleaf (and Skillet, for that matter), because even though they're religious and that is the main drive behind their songs, the music is up for interpretation to anyone despite their beliefs. ^_^
I just finished the book and I'm looking at the songs she picked to go with the book!
2021 here omg I’m old 🥴
I'm a musician with a wide range of appreciation for artists. Everything from Elton John to Slayer and I'm amazed by this band. Anything they write that sounds similiar to their other songs is match by gems that stand alone from anything I've heard from anyone else. Even though it's sad Lacey left, at least we got to taste their perfection.
