Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture robert Professional	#1 by robert cunningham at Oct 1, 2007 at 8:49 PM EST
	I'm not trying to be biased, but i think the song is definatley about God. I’m giving up I’m doing this alone now Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there And this life sentence that I’m serving I admit that I’m every bit deserving But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair by "he" im pretty sure he means God. And he talks about redeeming himself to Christ. And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave I think that means he wants to be fixed, like set in the right path. It's his last "shot at redemption" Like, the whole songs about starting over.

	Ooh, it sounds even better on the CD than it did online... I liked Two Lefts better than MMHMM, but mmhmm is still awesome.

	I'm not a religious person, yet Relient K sends such a powerful message about life. The most important line in this song to me is "apart from this whole world that shares my fate". No matter what you do in your lifetime, all of us will experience death sooner or later. Perhaps rk is trying to tell us to live our lives without malice and hate towards other people. This is great concept constructed by Christianity and it is to no surprise why most Americans are this religion. Another good lyric is: "I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key." Many people are unsure of what life after death is all about, and no matter how much you debate it, we as humans will never know the truth until that time has come.
