Songs to Awaken You

[Parsons]

@DMCubic, the style of music is not my cup of tea but its actually pretty close to what I like, just a bit too hard for my tastes. But the lyrics I can most definitely get behind. =O)


I would like to post a song that is resonating with me deeply, because its how I feel right now, with one line in particular that seems to be the source of my current impatient feelings:

"He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere"

It just bothers me so much to see people "chained" by $/power, even more so than usual. Whats actually the root of the problem is they don't see their own chains. Its becoming almost intolerable.

But I do not think of this song in a negative light. This song has always been inspiring to me, even when I didn't think too much of Jesus, which is (pretty clearly, IMO) who this song is written for. I feel uplifted when I listen to it

Bolded are what I consider to be clear references to Jesus:

He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh

He's.. flying
Whole
High.. wide, oh

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

High.. flying
Oh, oh

Perhaps I am missing other references? but I do not come from a Christian background.
