| I agree with you ninja..dude...Emery IS a Christian band so it would probably make pretty good sense if one or two of the songs was about..oh i dunno....Christianity..?...Religion?? But as it is, I'm Christian/Mormon. When the song says "He didn't know he was hungry" I take it as when people are like...spiritually hungry. I think this song is about a young boy wanting to be back where he was, believing. When it says: "he felt the wake of torrid days ushered through by warm mistakes suddenly his broken feet took their rest on bended knee" It seems like he's realized that he's been doing wrong and is wanting to do better....repent if you will? I hope that didn't sound inappropriate, but that's what I get out of this song. It's gotta be one of my favorites by Emery. PEACE | |

| Yes, they are a Christian band. So yes, it DOES make sense that 1 or 2, mayb even 3 of their songs are directed towards Christ and/or Christianity. But in every single song that I click on this site, every SINGLE song, there are like 20 people in the comments trying to pass off some retardedly-christian-themed meaning and morals onto the song. It doesn't matter which song, apparently to the majority of the people in here, every single song Emery sings is about worshipping God. Emery is not a worship band. They just happen to all be Christian and believe in Christ. Not every single one of their songs is about believing in God. Is this one? Honestly I don't know. In fact I think you guys are probably right on this one being christian-related. So congratulations. Emery makes a lottt of really fantastic songs, but, sorry to burst all you God-loving people's bubbles, only some are actually directed towards God/Christianity. | |

| a lot of this song seems to be about religion stifling (sp?) true spirituallity. but that is just how i am interpreting the first verse there i could be off. later on it seems to be about becoming broken, very common spritually to help bring us closer to God. i'm kinda confused about the last verse, im not really sure who he is talking to here. | |

| At first I would have agreed with the above comment, but as I spent more time reading the song I developed a different idea. To me, the song seems to be about a person who was kept sheltered from Christ for most of his life ("and as a little boy they tried to hide his eyes / with reeds and rituals, " "he didn't know he was hungry") but eventually got to a point of despair where he found himself on his knees calling out and believing ("he felt the wake of torrid days / ushered through by warm mistakes / suddenly his broken feet took their rest on bended knee") The rest of the song seems to be expressing some difficult choice the subject is making to leave someone that has been influential in his life. I realize some people may not think this song is religiously themed, but Emery is a Christian band and I believe the "bended knees" and "take me back to when I believed" lines point strongly toward such a theme. | |

| The meaning, I see, has been taken care of, so I won't worry about that. But, I have to say, you idiots that are so hardened toward hearing other people's thoughts and/or beliefs get the hell out of here, because no one wants to put up with you and your crap. Emery is a christian band, so if anyone has a problem with that and is in denial, go dig a hole and lie in it. Find music that fits your taste. This awesome band is not going to change just because some insignificant jerk says songs pertaining to christianity suck. | |

| To me its about a kid being forced into religion, and his eyes being covered from the outside world, "and as a little boy they tried to hide his eyes with reeds and rituals" As though his parents didn't want to risk him deciding against it. And the choice that he has to make is wether to believe or not, "the last time is right know this choice will take or make everything" Ofcourse he chooses to believe, "suddenly his broken feet took their rest on bended knee" It just seems to fit to me, i dunno, what do you guys think? Actually, it may be the opposite, his parents hiding him from Religion, but he was drawn towards it "you have lost me your plan failed" Im not sure.. | |

| Hey, no offense but the people on this comment board stating that it is pretty much insane to even THINK that songs BY a CHRISTIAN band are God related, WHY? I just dont understand why you're in such denial. Emery IS a Christian band. No they're not a praise band but they don't have to be. I'm personally in a Christian Rock band myself and no not all of our songs are praising straight to God but ALL of them are teaching the word of God whether they're about how to get through sexual temptation/ depression/ anger/ or just staying away from sin and asking for forgiveness so its not hard to believe Emery doesn't do the same. And after reading almost all of Emery's beautiful lyrics I've came to a realization that most of their songs are about getting through sexual temptation (this one isnt the case though). Which is a thing all Christians have a very hard time to get through. By writing those type of songs is a way of serving God because they are spreading around that premarrital (sp?) sex is bad. AND I've never seen a bad message come from an Emery song so honestly it wouldn't be hard for 20 or more people to pass off "some retardedly-christian-themed meaning/moral" to a Christian band's song. We look at this site to find deeper menings to a song but as soon as someone mentions God in a meaning it has to be wrong. C'mon people lets think outside the box and put our personal beliefs aside. Its almost like if i looked up a song by Slayer and said i dont think this song has anything to deal with sex drugs or violence (bad analogy i know). No one on this site has tried to push their beliefs down anyones throats, we are all just expressing our ideas on this thing. And everyone has their right to believe in what they want. Just don't get on a Christian band's song and totally deny the fact that it is Christian. alright im done. All in all this song is awesome... God bless :) 1 | |

| like omg. no way. If you don't like hearing other people's point of views about a song, maybe you shouldn't come onto a site about sharing song meanings? I think the song's about being in an akward stage of life and he just wants to go back to when everything was easy and he had more faith. | |

| A lot of you guys must not know this is a Christian band. Don't you think it would make a lot of sense if at least one of there songs was about Christ? Every time I come here looking at Emery lyrics I see someone screaming about how these songs have nothing to do with God. What is wrong with you people? | |
