    Be my escape.
    I've given up on giving up slowly, I'm blending in so
    You won't even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
    This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
    because I know to live you must give your life away
    And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
    I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
    And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
    And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
    I gotta get outta here
    I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
    I gotta get outta here
    And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.
    I'm giving up on 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
    Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
    I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
    And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
    And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
    I gotta get outta here
    Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
    I gotta get outta here
    And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.
    I am a hostage to my own humanity
    Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
    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
    Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
    I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
    And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
    And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
    I've gotta get outta here
    I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
    I've gotta get outta here
    And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
    You to be my escape.
    I fought You for so long
    I should have let You in
    Oh how we regret those things we do
    And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
    But so were You
    So were You
    Everthing belongs to Relient K. I am not stealing this song in any way shape or form! Thanks!

  • @Michelle-pd6cl
    @Michelle-pd6cl Před 9 lety +4

    I'm a Christian and I've always known this song was written with the thought of God in mind. But music is a creative place where anyone can have any meaning behind a song. I think the matter of having a religion or having no religion shouldn't matter when it comes to how music can make you feel. So if you enjoy this song enjoy it.

    This song made me change my mind about taking my own life. I was about to take all of my hydrocodone pills and end it all, but as I dumped the bottle into my mouth this song came on Pandora on a secular station and spoke to me. No matter how hard times can be, God has a plan for every single one of us. This year was the hardest year of my life, I lost both of the people who raised me, lost their home to foreclosure, almost losing my brother to meth addiction but God still has a plan and we have to just open our ears and listen to it.

    • @bryannawildman
      @bryannawildman Před 8 lety +20

      Hey there, I just want to say I praise God for having this song play when you were about to make that decision. It's incredible to see His faithfulness come through at our darkest moments. God has an amazing plan for your future and He will carry you through every trial! I am praying for you and your brother x p.s. i recommend the band twenty one pilots, they have a lot of Christian undertones throughout their songs and they have helped and encouraged me and my faith :)

    This song made me change my mind about taking my own life and made me realize God works in mystery ways. I had my hydrocodone bottle in my hand about to dump it down my throat when this song came on Pandora on a secular station and lyrics cut thru to me like a warm knife thru butter. It made me realize no matter what obstacles we face, God has a plan for every single one of us. Whether we are black, white, yellow, blue etc.. All of us are made in his image and has a purpose for each and every one of us.

    One of those Christian rock bands that are so subtle about it that you don't realize that they're Christian until after you discover them and have been a fan for a long time. Damn you, talented Christian rock bands, for being both awesome and religious! (see also: Anberlin, Underoath, Red, mewithoutYou and especially Thrice, one of the best bands around today)

      Agrith Brand New are not Christian. They're one of my favorite bands-- I should know.
      It's cool listening to Thrice and The Used in quick succession-- it's like a musical theological debate, their worldviews are so diametrically opposed.

    • @witnessme4352
      @witnessme4352 Před 7 lety +2

      emily_sixx Skillet is a band that I'd call a guilty pleasure. I like their big, orchestral sound on some of their songs, they are often really catchy and Jen Ledger is smoking hot, but their lyrics are so simplistic and cringeworthy and John Cooper sounds like Adam Gontier-- he makes my ears bleed. And yet I still know all the words to "Monster". Also, Red are just so much better as far as Christian symphonic alt-metal is concerned.

Did you ever think your kife could have been meant for so much more other than being and african following, mimicking, wannabe. I mean they are all evil as well as that "so-called" music. How long have you been listening to it so far. It all comes with demons just like tictok. So how has living with your new demon?? Well theyve been grooming you for it brainwashing you, so you must be comfortably content with it.

  • @artemissharp1227
    @artemissharp1227 Před 10 lety +11

    This is a wonderful song that can be interpreted in many ways. Yes, it's by a Christian band, but one can still appreciate the music for what it is, no matter their religion, or lack thereof. I think people need to remember that music is music, and it has different meanings depending on not just the person, but the person's mood, age, etc. Music is an ever-changing thing, and it's not okay to tell anyone there interpretation of what music is saying to them is wrong. And if to some this song is about Jesus, then that's what it means to them. If to some it's a love song, then that's what it means to them. Who are you to say it's wrong?

    • @TheTrueWolfboy
      @TheTrueWolfboy Před 9 lety +2

      Well, no. The song IS a Christian song and it IS about God/Jesus. However, you have the freedom to choose how YOU look at it. That doesn't change what it is about, but as a listener you do have the right to ignore the meaning that the creator of the piece gave it.

    • @artemissharp1227
      @artemissharp1227 Před 9 lety +2

      I wasn't fully aware of that, but I still stick to most of what I said previously. Music is the kind of thing that has a different meaning to everyone. It's one of the best things about it! I think that the creators original meaning matters, of course, but the meaning the listener gets from it also matters. So if a person disagrees or agrees with the creators intended meaning, as you said, a listener has the freedom to chose their personal meaning. And this is such a great song that has so many different interpretations, you know?

    If the people in this comment section didn't mention anything about religion I could have continued on thinking that this song was about someone who felt as if they were trapped by society, and that a girl was his only key to escape.
    Edit:// I'm not bashing anyone's religion or beliefs, btw! It was simply just me stating the obvious- one person's interpretation of a song is not the same as another's. ^^"

    You know, there's a bit of irony here in that I loved this song when I heard it so many years ago but I never realized the Christian undertones until now... and I've been a Christian for most of my life :P

    I like this song even though I'm atheist. I personally think the lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways. I always think of it being about escaping from life's problems in general. I also think of it being escape from drugs, the band was interviewed on the "Natural High" video we were shown in middle school and high school.

It made me realize no matter what obstacles we face, God has a plan for every single one of us.

    This is a song with Christian intentions yes, but I would like to go on the record to say most of the bands like this make their music for both Christian and Non- Christian audience, meaning that there might be variant meaning of the song on a person to person basis. I really wish everyone would stop swearing and getting all angry at each other in the comments, if you really think that swearing at people in the comments or writing hateful things makes you any smarter then you're not very smart in the first place. Regardless of the meaning of the song I'm sure the band never made this song to have people fight about it.
    Thank you, and have a nice day.

    This song help save my life I was about to kill myself and took all my hydrocodone pills and put them in my hand and was about the swallow them when this song popped up on Pandora on a secular station and made me think that God has a purpose for me no matter how hard the times are and no matter what's going on in this world there's always a plan always. There is a divine creator watching over us and this song spoke to me and made me realize that even though I was going through a tough time losing both my grandparents who raised me, my best friend, almost losing my brother to drug addiction, and unbearable pain in my leg from pieces of shrapnel from a gunshot that God will always be there for me in my time of need. If your going thru a tough time it doesn't matter if we are atheist or Christians God loves every single one of us. We are all his creation and will always be the best friend any of can have.

I deal with them with my faith in the same Jesus these artists believe in. I know that to Jesus you and Me were soo special Christ died for us. I think that means we are worth it. Don't let peoples thoughts of you hurt you. Remember Jesus thought of you when he decided to die for you to save you for eternal life and live in that thought.

    You should let Jesus come in and set you free. He's knocking, but you have to be the one to let Him come in. Pray? "I know I'm a sinner and I believe that you, God the Father sent your son Jesus, to die for my sins. I thank you Jesus for taking my doubt, insecurity, and anxiety and washing it away by your blood. I want you and only you and I ask you to help me live for you by the power of the Holy Spirit who now lives inside of me. You are my redeemer and salvation. In the name of Jesus, Amen."

We can all interpret it how we want. Some people think its about God others think its about finding an escape. We all have a different reason for loving it. Love it and stop finding ways to victimize others!

      Honestly... I hate when people make EVERYTHING about god or religion... why focus everything that exists around one person? That takes away from your own existence.. either way... I think it's a gift to even be alive, no matter what resulted in it.. so I think people should realize, they were only given existence, whether they choose to get down on their hands and knees thanking everybody for giving them life... they should actually live and be happy instead of fearful that somebody will take it from them. Everybody and everything dies but after you are dead, it's too late to reflect and ask yourself "was I ever truly alive?"

    • @TheTrueWolfboy

      ***** This isn't an example of making EVERYTHING about religion, this is an example of making Religion out of Religion.
      The song itself is undeniably a religious one. However, the listener has the right to interpret it in any way.

    • @DarkLadyKagome
      @DarkLadyKagome Před 9 lety

      TheTrueWolfboy Oh no, you misunderstand. I didn't mean the comment I commented on, I was agreeing to the comment I first replied to and commenting about all the other comments and how everyone is making it about religion. I myself am not religious but I still greatly enjoy this song and admit that it I believe it is religious, simply for the reason of the final verse that is edited out in the radio version. Even though I'm not a christian, I can enjoy bands like Skillet and Relient K because they hide in their lyrics well enough to hide christian aspects, thus making it an enjoyable experience for anybody with that taste in music. I just like to enjoy the music so when people get their undies in such a huge twist over something being religious or not, it does rather get on my nerves when it is something that they are choosing to indulge in.

    This song can be interpreted as a Christian song or in any way the listener wants to. I don't think it's a Christian song and I interpret it as more of a song of two people that like each other and one has made many mistakes and failed and has never been really stable or secure in life. I think the one is begging the other to save them, help them, and be their escape from the pain they've caused themselves.

      Sadly, most proclaimed Christians are idiotic and evangelical and most proclaimed Atheists are hypocritical pricks. Otherwise, we would have a much more idyllic CZcams comment section.
      However, it is not about what you THINK, it is about how you interpret it personally. You cannot deny the fact that it IS a Christian song, because that is what the band says. However, you can interpret it any way you want to. :D

    • @TheTrueWolfboy
      @TheTrueWolfboy Před 9 lety

      ***** Music videos mean nothing. Have you seen the one for Radioactive, by Imagine Dragons?
      While I also hate the fact that everyone feels the need to argue over a song's meaning, the point where I jump in is when people start to deny what's objective. This band IS (proclaimed) Christian, and the song DOES have Christian undertones, but you DON'T need to follow or understand or care about them and you CAN interpret it however you want.
      But yeah, as long as their are people to bitch, they will bitch. The reason why you get singled out as the antagonist in a situation is because much of the time, when someone declares that they don't believe in God, it is because they are about to insult Christians or say that it is a fact that God doesn't exist. Just like with Christians, when they say they are Christian they are much of the time about to start spouting off Bible verses or try to evangelize someone.

    • @TheTrueWolfboy
      @TheTrueWolfboy Před 9 lety

      ***** Yeah, but the songs are almost always Christian undertone-y in nature. When someone says that a band is a "Christian band", they tend to mean that the genre of music is Christian Rock. Or, you know, Christian Country and all the other Christian genres.

    • @thesouthparkgirl8272
      @thesouthparkgirl8272 Před 9 lety

      ***** Interpretation is a really good thing. The band proclaimed themselves to be "Christian Rock" and the song was most likely proclaimed to be a "Christian" song. It's probably about someone trying to let God in. However, I interpret it my way. I've noticed religion and trolls seem to cause so many comment wars. Not everyone will think the same way as another person. People tend to ignore that concept. To close it off, interpretation is a good thing, and we may do it our own ways or the way it was meant to be according to the maker of the thing being interpreted.
