Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Mauro Wanna Be	#1 by Mauro Leon at Jan 18, 1973 at 10:12 AM EST
	i agree with nofamelost (civil war, ect) but i also think that this song means we need to break out of our shells & also get to know people who aren't christian. we feel safer just talking within our group of christian friends. we need to spread the good news.

No Picture Josh Average	#2 by Josh Duncan at Oct 21, 1977 at 6:34 AM EST
	Yeah, there obviously is a meaning to this song. This place is to discuss meaning, so I will break the ice. This song is about the damage we (Christians) do to one another through our division. Are minds are closed to our fellow bretheren and we can't let it continue. For 500 years we have been separated by the Schisms of man instead of being united in the pormise of God. If we let this continue, we not only hurt each other, but will keep others from getting to know God and entering into Eternity with Him.

No Picture Tim Rhythm Player	#3 by Tim Hanson at Feb 5, 1995 at 1:52 PM EST
	One important line from the song that no one's really mentioned was "The enemy is much ignored" and they're right, I know sometimes I get so caught up in proving my denomination is closer related to the Bible than others, that I completly forget that I should be fighting against Satan, not fellow Christians, even if our beliefs are a little different.

No Picture RoBsN Average	#4 by RoBsN Stalder at Mar 5, 1996 at 12:11 PM EST
	No fame Lost i agree with you. There are too many different sections in the church.

No Picture taris Average	#5 by taris leoncho at Feb 1, 2001 at 4:51 PM EST
	yea, this is a really awesome song for Christians to hear, Relient K has an awesome way of doing this, and they send out awesome messages for not just christians, but to everyone

No Picture Austin Rhythm Player	#6 by Austin at Feb 26, 2002 at 2:37 PM EST
	I think this song is about all the generalizations people stereotype Christians with.

No Picture Chase Wanna Be	#7 by Chase Hendrix at Jun 15, 2006 at 4:48 PM EST
	Go to the “Softer to Me” Lyric page for a great discussion

No Picture Ĵǿ Wanna Be	#8 by Ĵǿħŋ Ĝęřđěŋĭţš at Jan 11, 2007 at 10:03 AM EST
	I just saw these guys twice in concert at IOSF in NH, and they sang this song both times. I love it, it has a good message, and also Relient K KICKS ASS!
