| I will be frank -- I'm not Christian. I'm not religious at all. However, I do like Christian music. I may not believe in God myself, however, I DO appriciate the message of love that both religion and religious-oriented music sends across. A Christian-rock group in peticular captured my fancy; that group being the Newsboys. After falling in love with the song "Shine", I immedietly started downloading more songs by them ("Beautiful Sound" and "Breakfast" being among my favourites). I'm an artist, and their lyrics really inspire me to create -- perhaps it's the catchy tune behind each stanza, but either way, it's all-around enjoyable. Personally, I wish am inclined to agree with the chorus of this song. I'd be lost without my Chex. | |

| This song is fantastic, and Steve Taylor's lyrics are so funny & interesting, I love all his collabarations with the Newsboys. kmm630: If you have the Greatest Hits the best albums to get are "Take Me To Your Leader" (their classic) and the new one, "Thrive", which is their second best in my opinion. "Not Ashamed" is good too but I guess the best songs are probably on the greatest hits albums. Ha ha! OK, blinkfanforever, let's listen to some real music like you recommend: blink-182! Wow! Another gay sell-out pop-"punk" band that rips off Green Day at every turn, who in turn were ripping off the Ramones! Isn't it hard to play the same three chords in every song and write meaningless crappy "funny" lyrics... | |

| awww guys I don't want to be the one with the holier than thou attitude here but Paul indeed says "Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else." and to everyone else being the operative words here. For some reason blinkfanforever feels that christian music isn't real music, but dear blinkfanforever you mst realize that just because you feel it isn't real music does not mea you are correct. Now I believe you should accept that people love christian music and we love Jesus Christ. Why is this a problem to you? I'd be willing to answer any questions you might have about Jesus if you are interested. About this song..I love it!! I find it actually amusing and love it when he says "Those here without the Lord, How do you cope? For this morning we don't mourn Like those who have no hope", love the chorus as well :D and love them!! Blessings to All!! - Rita | |

| This song is really catchy and even though I'm not very big into the whole religious scene my friend is and told me to download this song and a few others...I like their style even though I'm not religious. I agree about Cherub's comment about Blink182 | |

| Puh-lease. There needs to be some flame-and-doofus-removal procedure here on songmeanings.net. Are there no mods? And any of you Christians who have been cussing out the nonbelievers or telling them to go to hell, you should be ashamed of your behavior. | |

| Mind you, I'm not Christian, but I viewed this song as a modern day Last Supper, except it was more as a Last Breakfast, with Jesus reminding his disciples that "they don't serve breakfast in hell". Of course I could be wrong, but the first time I heard this song I laughed so hard! A friend gave me the Shine CD and I've been into the Newsboys ever since. Rock on, y'all! | |

| This is one of my favorite Newsboys songs. I have ALL their 12 of their cds (even the ones from back in the 80s!). This song is about someone dying, but that shouldn't mean that you should be sad if you know the person is going to heaven. And it also gives you a little reason why you wouldn't want to go to hell. Anything you like on earth is NOT going to be in hell. The song just happens to be talking about some people who really enjoy breakfast. And also, I thought it's amusing that people think that everyone else's music is stupid, but that theirs is the greatest in the world when anyone who likes the opposite music can say the same thing about theirs. You're music isn't the greatest in the world just because you listen to it. | |

| This song is my favorite Newsboys song. I've seen them live a few times at Creation Fest ((a christian music festival..)) and they are just awesome. This song is, as others already said, about someone who died.. but they werent mourning for him because he went to a better place.. and it also basically tells people.. Hell isn't a good place to be.. I mean.. they don't even serve breakfast.. lol So you don't wanna go there.. and blinkfanforever- first of all I'd like to say.. Why do you bother looking up artists that you don't like anyways... and second of all... I don't consider being a "FUCKING JESUS FREAK" a bad thing.. and as for "SOME REAL FUCKING MUSIC".. Newsflash.. all music is real, dummy. And umm yeah basically everything that Pyroheart said so I'm not gonna repeat it. | |

| Well, whether or not you like these songs, users do have a right to post favorites. Just as punk and metal are not confined to concerts, or pop to nightclubs, Christian music is not confined to churches. Musicians have the freedom to write what they will, and listeners have the right to listen to what they will. Music is not defined by its general popularity, in fact, music cannot be defined. Unfortunately for your ears, blinkfan, monasteries are hard to find, much less get into, in most of North America, and vows of silence do little to help society at large. For the record, I consider myself a Jesus Freak. The label has strangely never held any stigma for me. | |

| Funny song. I think this song is,like someone said,comparing the love of God to the necessary of breakfast. But once Jesus comes back,we wont have that luxury or chance. Good song. | |

| Hey "blinkfanforever", it's obvious to me that you're a jew. And for that alone I feel bad for you. I do not like this song. I do not have a religion. I am an atheist. I am just not a stupid one. Why don't you become a rabbi and...beat yourself to death with a hammer? You either do not have many friends or you think you do but...they all hate you. You obviously do not care what anybody else thinks. You think that your opinion, just because it is in CAPS, will get across to some people, but if the admirers of this song are truly religious, they will not give a fuck about what you say. You think you're all that and your not. I am much, much better than you but don't let that get to you because I am much, much than all viewers of this site and of most people in the world. If these songs all "suck ass" as you so deviously put it, why would you take the time to make a dumbass comment as you did, so that wise people like me can just inform you how dumb you are? This is also why I feel bad for you. You do not have to be religious or into christian music to like this somewhat catchy (but by no means showing any talent), tune. And do you realize that no one, I repeat no one, made any reference even implying that this song was about Jesus or that it is even religious. (Although that may be true, you had no reason to start PMSing about christianity and this song, and still, nobody likes you.) I actually like people like you because you make me feel much smarter and logical than I already am (and that means that I feel really fuckin smart and logical). You are all inferior to my intellectuality and you are being helped by reading just one of my many comments. If you disagree with me or any of my views (in which case you would be wrong), please leave a comment here or following any of my other rational comments. If you believe you are superior to me, let your ignorance be known to me and all viewers of SongMeanings.net. Just a warning to whomever this might be...I am better than you, and after leaving a comment testing my superiority, I will embarrass you and make you feel even more inferior to me and to all. Thank you. You suck. | |

| i think this song is awesome, and it's kind of bittersweet. it has this chorus that's straight forward, and the wording throughout the song is almost humerous, but it's about someone dying. i was reading an interview and the inspiration is, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day. there should be a song about it". | |
