    I grew up in a group home where I got bullied pretty much every day, this song was basically my reality for a good chunk of my childhood. I’m not a Christian and I don’t believe the same things that P.O.D. does but I’ll always have a high level of respect for them because of this song. I can relate to being in a shitty situation and just hoping that you make it out alive. Right now I’m in college and I have a ton of friends and a girlfriend and some mornings I wake up and I’m so relieved to find myself in my studio apartment and not in my old bedroom at the program that I left years ago. It’s not something I would wish on anyone.

    This song gives me deep, almost painful sense of nostalgia…even back in high school when this first came out, those clean breaks gave me a profound sense of vast, urban nostalgia. To get music nerdy, those guitar octave stabs during the chorus really pile on the emotion…the first time it’s a 9th, the second time it’s a major 7th. That vague lack of resolution sends your brain into a spiral of bygone uncertainty.

      Dissonance my friend. Dissonance and syncopation. Moody and unresolved build means there's a longing to go "home" sonically, but as the song progresses you realise that the "home" you want to go back to, the clean predictable chorus, has changed and won't be the same, especially after that middle eight.

      It’s funny because they *technically* resolve it each time but it doesn’t feel that way. The vague, dissonant harmony is just SO prominent, it’s the part that draws you in. I think the fact that the resolution is obscured by different octaves helps that effect, too. The higher octave stuff just feels desperate…like it’s trying to tell a greater truth that the power chords won’t reveal…

      @@Elijah-Bravo Hello, middle eastern Zoroastrians (the start of all religious origins) spoke allegorically in ancient times which were then passed on in its travels by the Greeks. The Romans in that era were deceptive and they had knowledge of control and power. Most of the world today, especially the western world, still follow an old Roman Systematic Law in which the Romans used the Zoroastrian/Greek translated (Judeo) Christian Bible and the masses thought the Bible to be literal when they captured territories and converted the people. Jesus (jehosh'ua) first came from the tradition of the Mithra but were then passed on through the Torah and renamed by the Christians (Crestians). 'The Bible' in its entirety has a wealth of knowledge in it because of its speech in parables and allegories, symbols and numerology, which explains astrology, meditation, human bodily functions but most importantly the human mind. The Kingdom of God is within you. God is love. 'Neville Goddard' and 'Dr. Joseph Murphy' are one of a few people who have translated the Bibles allegories by an Ethiopian rabbi named 'Abdullah'.

More specifically the sins of their fathers(your sinful ways will reflect directly onto your generations, it is shown in the scriptures). And sir no disrespect to you but one day and I mean one day very soon, EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue will confess!
      9 Wherefore ELOHIYM (God) also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
      10 That at the name of YAHUSHA every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
      11 And that every tongue should confess that YAHUSHA HA MASHIAC (J.C) is Lord, to the glory of YAHUAH the Father.
      12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
      13 For it is ELOHIYM(God)which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
      14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
      15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of ELOHIYM (God), without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world

    Can I relate with whatever but never will it drive me to hate
    Could be the next guy that you take before I wake
    Now I lay me down to sleep eyes tight when I pray this here is real life
    Circumstances make you think should I be counting my blessings
    The next second my eyes blink
    Here in the southtown
    You know that kids don't play
    Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
    If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
    And thank God that I made it alive
    Here in the southtown
    You know that kids don't play
    Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
    If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine

    One love it's easier said than done
    Can I rise above anything that gets in my way
    Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose
    And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away
    I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough
    Tomorrow's gone and it's the same old song
    Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
    A life to shine, you'r the diamond in this rough
    Here in the southtown
    You know that kids don't play
    Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
    If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
    And thank God that I made it alive
    Here in the southtown
    You know that kids don't play
    Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
    If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine
    And thank God that I made it alive
    It ain't got to be like this
    Don't want to throw up my fist
    Don't want to be like this
    Don't want to throw up my fist
    I must resist, it ain't got to be like this

Talking to your bestie late and watching mtv and mtv2 after hours waiting for your favorite music videos. Drawing and doodling slipknot logos and pod, Linkin park and all your faves. Life was simple.

      life was 'normal' the 90s WAS the HIGHT of an EMPIRE! And then hegelian-marxist-postmodernism finally overtook EVERY SINGLE ELEMENT of the WEST. Everything woke goes to shit! Life doesn't gasta be like dis! Ancient truth. Wisdom from Almighty. Predictions from the Bible. Yes, the bible predicted a lot of what is currently happening, [happened and will happen.. ] Again!p

    Been a fan since 2001 when I first heard the Satellite album. This music STILL holds up today and this is what I call real music, not like the mainstream stuff.

    Let's set the scene.
    I'm 12 years old, sick of school and my parents. I grab my red Sony Walkman pop in this cd and start walking to the park down the street from my house to smoke some stolen Winston lights I stole from my mom to contemplate life. Life was so good and I had no idea.

    I was 25 back in the summer of 2000. One of the best summers I've had so far - I was working third shift at the time while going to school in the daytime (summer semester). Anybody who wanted to work could get a job. Everybody had lesser doubts about the long-term plans they were making. MTV were still playing videos. The live-action X-Men was finally made and was coming out in theatres worldwide. Man, before I would go to bed at around 7PM, I would cruise around (in circles) in the basement on my X-Games skateboard with this POD CD playing in the boombox - if there was nothing on TV. I have to admit, I was still missing the lead guitar solos that were often lacking in this new kind of "solo-less" rock that was taking over MTV and rock/metal radio back then. To this day, it still blows my mind how fast things had gone downhill - not just for me (it could have been worse) but for a lot of people across the US by the end of that same year and the next. The 2000's were a difficult decade for many from that point on.

    Back in highschool I use to make skate videos which included my crew of friends & fellow skaters. We're talking total DIY production. But for one reason or another kids at my school would buy em up. Anyway, the opening part was my best friend Chuck & he was so fucking adamant about having this song during his part. Truth be told, it was hands down the best part. The music and editing matched up so good. Crazy to think it's a little over 20 yrs since those simpler times.

    I remember the night I first heard this song on the radio. The DJ announced, “New music from P.O.D...” and my excitement that a Christian band broke through and was being played on secular radio, I was thrilled! I was already familiar with their previous albums Snuff the Punk and BROWN, but this song gave me chills.

    I was 11 years old when this dropped and I related to it instantly. I thought it was so cool that a band like this had a great message and believed what I believed. Pushing 28 now and I still feel the same way. God bless you P.O.D.
