    Lyrics:
    I secretly crave, crave that scent again
    Still feel it pressing on me now
    Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
    I steel my nerves for temptations at hand again
    And I hear this calling
    Still you don't seem so far at all
    And I hear this calling out
    No secrets deception for these would tear this down
    I'll note the past spill the pain, spill the blood
    Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
    Never forget these choices were made by me
    And I hear this calling
    Still you don't seem so far at all
    And I hear this calling
    Still you don't seem so far at all
    And I hear this calling
    Not falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me
    Though I am fearful I will not prevent this tragedy
    My strength's been tested I wear the scars that prove
    Still I believe that this calling will see me through
    And I hear this calling
    Still you don't seem so far at all
    And I hear this calling
    Still you don't seem so far at all
    And I hear this calling
    My strength's been tested I wear the scars that prove
    Still I believe that this calling will see me through.

    Im not sure why the algorithm sent you my way, but pretty cool vid! I relate to you in being put off by disengenuine "believers" in the christian metal boom of the mid to late 00's, early 10's. After the fact, you can see what a trend it was and how its not surprising to see many artists denounce their faith in the years that followed.
    That being said, a lot of bands retcon their early lyrics in interviews to try to hide their Christian past from the world. Saying these lyrics were about a girl could be true, but I think it's a bit of a cop out. The lyrics are straight up Christian lol.
    But cool hearing this song again. Havent heard it in a while and its definitely a banger. The chorus is near perfection and that guitar solo was always so beautiful to me.

      Thanks for stopping by! Sounds like we think very similarly about these things.
      I'll have a Thrice video in a couple Mondays kinda about this very topic. Though for them, I know Dustin was writing these songs from a Christian viewpoint at the time.

      @@MetalSharpensMetal While I love everything AILD, I unfortunately only enjoy Kill Switch w/Jesse Leach. Spoiled by the first album, then lost interest. While I love Howard Jones, I never liked him as the KSE lead singer. A Light The Torch tune of his (track name - Safety of Disbelief) is why I like him away from the KSE boys....and I love his cameo in that KSE tune along side Jesse (Signal Fire)...

    good vid, could I recommend that you check out a band called "Silent Planet"? they're one of my favourite metalcore bands, and the fact that the lead singer (who is also their songwriter) is pretty openly Christian (there's a tonne of biblical references in many of their songs, and in the videos you can find where Garrett explains their songs and albums he minces no words about it) seems like it'd slot in perfectly with your content!
    either way, the stuff you are putting out is pretty high quality for the size of this channel, you've definitely earned a viewer and subscriber here!

    • @MetalSharpensMetal
      @MetalSharpensMetal  6 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the kind words!
      You could recommend them, good idea. I disagree with Garrett's conclusions on certain topics, but that should make for a great discussion. Which songs stand out to you the most?

    There’s no shame in finding your own meaning in art that exists in parallel with the artist’s original intent.
    Just because his calling was to a relationship with a woman doesn’t have to take away the personal meaning with God that you got from the song.
    I think that speaks to the poetry of the lyrics in that there’s some ambiguity there in what he’s referring to. It’s about the feeling, not the specific facts.

    • @MetalSharpensMetal
      @MetalSharpensMetal  6 місяців тому

      Thanks for that, but I think I kinda disagree. I agree that I can be inspired in a way that wasn't the artist's goal, but I don't want to have a made up understanding of the song. At least, I like doing my best to understand the artist's original meaning.
