Who’s here in 2024

❤️🔥
Me, sick ass intro
😊 Still here I 2024!:)😊
IT'S CRAZY MAN I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR 20 YEARS AND FINALLY I FOUND IT IN 2023...I'M LITERALLY OUT OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW!!!!
Weird...this is exactly what happened to me. Was looking for this song for years and out of nowhere it popped on a meme on reddit today.
It just randomly popped up in my head but I remembered the chorus lyrics
Must've been torture looking this song for 20 years and such a relief finally founding it 😮💨
Listen ti the whole album
24 and I'm on fire are two great songs
I am so grateful that you found it. Welcome ❤
Rediscovering this in 2024 is wild.
bruh its been like 10 years since i last heard it, something a friend said today reminded me i’m so glad it did
Going on my 2000’s dad rock playlist for sure. Not sure how this song hasn’t popped up somewhere in so long
Same
@@greenpigking6974 because it's chrsitain music they don't like to play that stuff anymore
@@coltonlynn2825 Bummer deal, their pretty good!!
Botched my own suicide, found myself surrounded by family that loves me. Everything still hurts, I still have those thoughts sometimes but I'm trying to change. This song definitely helps.
Praise the Lord! ❤
Keep fighting. God bless
I love you! I have suicidal thoughts a lot. Don't give up...you were meant to live!
💗🙏🏻
Hang in there. I feel ya.
Glad you are still with us, brother.
This took me back to a place in my mind that I forgot existed...
Can relate bro, I can relate
👍🏼👍🏼
3rd repeat, I’m not leaving this place sooner than I have to
2004 good year
My friend, you don’t know the full of it.
I looked for this song for 12 years
WE MUST LINK ZE TELEPORTERS
fucking same
J- Xas omg...i used to listen to this music in 2004/05 ...2 days ago i found a music that i had been looking for 13 years (delirious - my glorious) ...internet is amazing lol
hands like houses
Big Dick dude, he didnt know what the song was called of the band so shut the hell up and enjoy the music.
"We want more than this world's got to offer, we want more than the wars of our fathers" **_POWERFUL STATEMENT**_
Even more so twenty years ago 😮💨
@@dropout818 hard facts especially the love of my life was getting ready to set out to Iraq and I was away from Pennsylvania down North Carolina on a Marine base scared to death- just buried my father, brother and my grandmother 🔥🔥 *_*🔥this song is one of many nostalgic legendary Memories...💘RIP FRANKY💘 Senper Fi, Do or Die⚡💘*_*
🔥🔥🔥
My biological father overdosed on heroin and died in 2016..this coming May il have 6 Years clean. I know that what he was referring to might have meant something else but means a lot to me
but now we are about to head into ww3
2022 and this is still sooo good. Nostalgic to say the least...
I totally agree. Very nostalgic. ✌️
damn. you are all legends and this song is epic xD feels like yesterday yet so long ago :(
@@highbeats9740 weird huh? Doesn't even seem like long ago..
I have been looking for this song for years. I just forgot the band. I remember buying the cd at store and loved the whole album except for those 1 or 2 songs lol.
2022 and it's more relevant
That guitar rift is f'n magical.
That's my favorite part not alot of songs do that anymore
riff*
Not when your head phnes are broken.
The best there is.
Heavenly
**uses song to check if speakers are plugged in correctly**
lmao, I just bought speakers and went straight to search this song to check which is the left and right speakers. Glad I'm not the only one! X'D
this is a good song
totally just did this lol
Josh Lofties I looked for this song for 12 days
Josh Lofties lol same
Another song from the early 2000s rock era, the nostalgia is hitting.
I loved this song as a teen. Never thought life would be so difficult. Life is precious ,everyone has a reason to live. Don't let the darkness win🖤
Beautiful and true words, I hope life is golden for ya,
..keep that same sentiment up, can't go wrong it!
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support. You have yourself a wonderful day ahead🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻
I first heard this in middle School. Now, at 27, it makes so much MORE sense.
Facts!
haha 6th grade for me, now i'm 27. I feel you!
Same
This is the only song that I feel bad about not getting as a kid. This really hits hard in 2021.
Brooo I’m 27 and this song just made sense to me.. Jesus where did all those years go
YOU TUBE HAS CENSORED MY COMMENTS! YOU TUBE HATES GOD
Not alone dude.
Nope not alone
Here man youre not alone
Wow! How are you guys! How's life been treating you?
“I’m not like most girls”
Literally every comment
So many memories with this song. Thank God for Switchfoot.
Saw these guys
Amen my brother
lol when i was 7 i scraped my knee on hot cement my flesh was like white, this song was playing in the kitchen while i passed out after the bandages
Lies again? Born To Live
[Verse 1]
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
[Verse 2]
Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
[Chorus]
Ah-we were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
[Bridge]
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah
[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more (We were meant to live)
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live (We were meant to live)
We were meant to live
IM JUST GOIN TO REPOST YOUR LYRICS THANKS
@@johndoe-xu1on well done

Yeah I actually thought this song wasnt real but then I heard like the 8 bit version on some video and well here I am
The opening riff of this song is always a perfect headphone tester
the intro to this song is literally the only thing in the world that makes sound come out of my left speaker
@@solesan4605lmao
Fear Factory - Shock is the first song I think of for testing left/right balance lol
My headphones working properly i'm glad
I randomly started singing this song, today.... Not random, at all, I think; a moment of clarity in an anxious mind that is out of focus. Sometimes I am saddened by thoughts of the "world passing me by" because I remain, static, in the same place that I was when this song came out - ultimately, it doesn't matter and I am more than memories of the past and expectations put on me by society. I am living the life I should be, as long as I am honest with myself and keep "living".
Same here ♥️
Right on brother
Just keep on living brother! Cherish the little things!
SOFT
Seek the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. Here's a hint.. His name is Yeshua and He is Truth made flesh.
If you listening in 2023 you a legend
This song makes me think of 3 close friends who sadly passed away before we hit 30 R.I.P James Edward chatman , Andrew Theodore Duba and Nicholas Scott Burns. I love you guys!
I'm sorry to hear that
I'm sorry for your loss bro I too have lost many friends way too early and this song hits home with that!! Just think that although their gone they are always with you and looking down on you as I believe my friend's who passed are doing for me!! Keep your head up and much love!!❤
I lost my uncle he was everything to me he had this song but the musical video I miss him 😓
So sorry for your lost
I’m so sorry that happened 🙏
2020, still coming back to this album.
It’s fantastic
Forever this will play
YES.
2020 and still best song ever made :)
Back again
This song has lived rent free in my head since I was young
That intro will forever be in my head
Who's here because they grew up to this music:p
me♡´･ᴗ･`♡
@Jax Jackson bet
😅
not me but this song is pretty cool
i did some what. but tbh pornhub video had this playing in the background why im here now lol.
This song is so nostalgic for me. I miss those days sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love being a husband and father, but this came out when I was such a carefree high schooler.
same
Lol yep same here!
Same here my man 👍🏿
Brett Leverett :c
You hit me in the freaking feels.
The we want more than thia worlds got to offer hit HARD! Truly moving. Thank you switchfoot
Woke up with these lyrics in my head for some reason. Came here for a giant dose of nostalgia 😊 it’s like being 13 all over again.
Me two bro 😁
Me too this morning NO LIE and can't even recall the last time I heard this song!
It b like that fr
My mom would listen to these types of rock songs all the time when I was around 6 and now being 20 I always go back just to try to relive my childhood
Your mom has great taste in music! She must be a music fanatic like me!
i'm so happy you're so young. don't settle.
they only play for that? then swaller the tank sir
sadder times ahead my friend loool
Haha you still are a kid
I love the switching of the sound between headphones in the beginning
ikr?
audio panning, love it
that's why the band call switch foot. :P it should be Switch ear I suppose.
As a musician i can tell you how they do that, it's actually the sound of two different guitars playing back and forth in two different tone.
Switchfoot is a surfing term.
Old is gold indeed. 2024 and still fresh.
This song saved my life plenty of times, thank you switchfoot
Agreed wholeheartedly....it came thru at the right time when needed this morning. God bless you and your family❤❤❤
For real
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by

Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want…
Finally found this song; I searched the internet for countless hours, and listened to about 100 relevant songs.
I am actually glad you found what you are looking for! :)
I did the same thing. Couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried. It was driving me crazy. I finally typed into google search Christian Rock Bands in 2005 and it brought me here. Now I can listen to this song 100 times. Worth it.
fell across a comment on my way looking for "three days grace - I hate everything about you" that sent me here so happy now =>
Spider-Man 2 soundtrack
just type the lyrics you rememeber next time and go to a lyric finder website
Can't believe this song is 19 years old. Still one of my favorites
not me being 19 years old and listening to this song since I was 15 XD lmao
20 years now, cannot believe it has been so long
I was jamming out to this on roadtrips when I was 8, and it's just gotten better with time!
@@Bigstarrocker9 totally. Seems like it was just yesterday this came out. Scary how time flies
@@micahphilson absolutely 💯% agree 👍
Such a banger that won't ever get old.
2019 anyone still listening ? I Haven't heard this for years, man this brings me memories where did the time go??
J T for real man. Hit me in the fuQQin feels.
@@BlstFrmThPst Christian Sever here
We all lost ourselves I guess. (Cheesy, I know.)
@@traehanson6013 lol
I've been searching for too long for this song
to this day, this guitar tone has been unmatched.
Um no lmao
I mean it sounds pretty good but it's just traditional scumbag tone
you dont know shit about tone
Monolord is the tone lord. Hell no.
Song sounds like it was influenced by Hum's "Stars" from 8 years before. Besides riffs and rhythms, both are Drop D guitar tuning.
This is an anthem of humanity in any age. We were always mean to live for so much more. It's so easy to lose ourselves - but we continue to live for so much more. More than the wars of our fathers. And that's what will save us.
Yeppers
The intro popped in my mind after a nap, got stuck and kept playing and here I am on CZcams to listen one of my all time fav track.
It's amazing. Just like who it's about... God.
Ah the memories here..
Thanks to this song playing on a local radio station back in 04.. I called in to request this to be played, ended up winning a private concert & lunch with them. Such a amazing experience, I took my mom she fell in love.. she recently saw them again.. years later at a concert just last year.. it was also of course amazing!!
WE WERE MEANT TO LIVE FOR SO MUCH MORE HAVE WE LOST OURSELVES
So much has changed since this song was on the radio. I've buried friends and loved ones, grew apart from people I thought would be around forever. Made new ones, got married had children, gotten 20 years older. Its crazy to think how much life has changed!!
April 2020 : Switchfoot in times of Corona virus. Stay safe, everyone.
hmmmm
UGH the memories!
Such a great song by Switchfoot. The music industry needs them so badly.
Just saw them live with The Killers. They were ... killer ... live.
0.3%
I was 14 when this was out in 2003. I still remember it. I had my very first job at dominos pizza. Big brother in Australia was massive. Those were happier times. Late 90s early 2000s were awesome ❤.
Yeah, I miss those times.
I had a friend who would always make me sing this song with them on the phone back in 2003... I sadly lost that friend on Sunday April 7th due to a drug relapse after 3 years clean and sober. This song is different now...the lyrics aren't just words.
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support. You have yourself a wonderful day ahead🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Who's here just because they remember how wonderful this song is!😨😝
My middle school gym teacher played this during class sometimes and I’ve trying find it ever since. Such a good song!
Oh *H e l l o* Dexters fatherdad
Take a listen to this song, and continue to stay awake, come back to it when you feel lost.
"We were meant to live for so much more" says it all
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support. You have yourself a wonderful day ahead🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
I was 13 when this song came out...I'm glad I had this song's message to inspire my teenage years.
Wait did this song come out in 2003?
@redfairy no the 90's
2003 when the album was released
it is such inspire song it has a message that speaks to me
In 2003, my son was released from his mother's vag.
*“Maybe we’ve been living with our eyes half open, maybe we’re bent and broken...”*
I read this just it came up in the song
@@danielcalma2138 so did I
Me 2
Wow what are the chances, same here
Same here. That's so weird lol
We were meant to live for such much more, may we all humble ourselves before God. We were all created to have that relationship with our Heavenly Father, The King of Kings 👑
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support. You have yourself a wonderful day ahead🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
Turning 30 today as I listen to this song once more, it hits hard, but not in a bad way, rather it reminds me to.. live, not just survive, I gotta make sure my years ahead aren't wasted this time.
This song will never get old to me. It's lyrics are gold. Feb22/19
Jesus loves you 🙌🤙
My favorite bumper sticker of all time: Jesus Loves You. Everyone else thinks you're an asshole
I hadn't heard this song in YEARS!! It came out on the radio today and I was screaming the lyrics 😭💖
Bloodyy_Mari I stay screaming these lyrics
Seek the Truth, Love is calling you. And His name is Yeshua. You are a child of the Universe.. this world isn't enough for you. In Him the world will fall beneath your feet. Love will flow forever like rivers of living water from within!
Switchfoot came and sang this song to us at God's Extended Hand Homeless Shelter in San Diego, in like 2013..he gave up his Thanksgiving day to come and say hello and sing this song to us. It was so special I was in shock. What a beautiful thing to do.
This is one of those songs you’ve hummed and made up words singing along in your head unable to find it for years 🥲
This song makes me think of church camp back in 2004 lol
hahaha this was every youth group pastor's go to song
I didn't ever go to a church camp but I can totally relate to that in 2004 lol.
This is a Christian song? Nice it sounds great
Yes CIY 2004!!!
SERIOUSLY 🤣
Man those lyrics hit deep.
Almost 20 years later, and the lyrics somehow are still in my brain. Is this sense-making?
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support. You have yourself a wonderful day ahead🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Still jamming this in 2023
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support. You have yourself a wonderful day ahead🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻
2021 still coming back. Praise the lord I miss my army unit. We graduated to this song. Pray they are okay, lord please come back soon so I can see them again,
My dad just met his old marine corps buddy. That man served in combat 17 years and his buffalo hit a 300 lbs bomb knocking out his teeth and leg. He was the sole survivor
My heart goes out to you buddy.
You can rest easy knowing one way or the other you will see them again.
👏
This song was really ahead of its time, it means so much today and the way the world is.
Definitely
it was great on earth before the illuminattis
@@vitorstreetboysThey been here forever wym💀
We were meant to live for so MUCH MORE!!!
I was a foster kid and y’all helped me. Thank yall
Early 2000’s, “we want more than the wars of our fathers~”
Almost 20 years later, U.S. still at war
Especially with the 9/11 attacks...
Once you’ve invested so much time and resources into a place like that you don’t pull out. Whether people wanna say it’s for greed or oil being Saudi Arabia’s war dog there are people getting skinned alive by radicals, children gang raped, kids bicycle tires being line with explosives for terrorist to blow in crowds, hospitals being suicide bombed while the waiting rooms are full of mothers and their unborn children, etc etc. The government agenda is different from the troops agenda, they want to kill bad guys and help people while doing it
Shit middle east has been at war for 2000+years. Song rings true on many levels globally
We need more music like this to fight depression and anxiety!!! Still listening May 2019 !!! We were meant to live for so much more!!! ❤🔥❤🔥
MexRoze5 Christ is my healing rock
🔥🔥🔥
2020
March 2021!
Rock helps in 2021
“And everything inside screams for second life”
That right there. 🙌🏼
This song resonates with me more today than it was a decade ago. It also resonates with today's society where second chances aren't possible. When that happens, we lose the ability to forgive and in turn, we lose ourselves and our individuality. We were meant to live for so much more, never forget that friends and never let anyone or anything take anything away from you. God bless
Commanding vocals with a message, and excellent guitar riffs.
It's a really solid track. I like the lyrics, and the guitars cut through with some killer distortion.
@@miameramusic It's definitely a keeper.
@@brucegordon7248 Yeah it's not too much, not too little, just enough to be satisfying all these years later. That is rare.
One reason the guitars hit the way they do because of Drop D tuning, and pretty generous use of the low D.
@@ecoRfan Interesting, thanks for the info.
how does this song not get the attention it deserves?
Actually it got all the attention, but a long time ago.
itachi girl When this song came out in '03, you couldn't escape it.
AstroKnott That was a good year.
***** I was 6. My brother used to listen to this song a lot.
Lol, I was 3.
Anybody else transported back to high school because of this song?
How many legends still listening to this masterpiece in 2022 🔥
Present
This song really hit home for me. I've been living to work, when I should be working for a living, a meaningful living.
I feel you man were only put here on the earth for a short time might as well live everyday like its your last
VGSoundFX Hell yes
@@jamesprice2163 definitely! 🔥🙏🏽
Such a hypnotizing and amazing song I’ve always thought. Something about the intro guitars, the lyrics, and just the whole jam of this song, it’s definitely one of those that can easily get stuck in your head for weeks
weeks!!?? years my friend, years!
This song will never get old. 🔥
This reminds me time when I used to dream of life instead of constant dread every day. Man this hits hard dealing with life's struggles. Rest in peace Shane Mangan
I remember back in 2003-2004 they came to Hawaii, I went to their concert at about 11 years old. That day, front row I gave my life to Christ along with my best friend. This song means so much to me! 💯🙏🏼
That's is wonderful. Amen
That's not a good thing
The guitar in this song absolutely riiiips
On this day 19th April 2024 since the release of this great song and another one titled as Dare To Move I still listening as fresh as they came out!! Love you Switchfoot guys!!
My only older brother was riddled with bullets and left to die behind our high school... Ongoing investigation... We really were meant to live for so much more ... Didn't know when I was younger how many times this song would help me get through the life I'm delt.
New headphonss, work great
got new ones 2day myself. where else, Walmart. Sony's. $19. sound great!
Skull Candy is the best
Testing out my new IEMs
Sometimes music like this takes me back, then I get kinda sad knowing I'll never really be there again. Good times, the best of times.
I remember first hearing this song on a Now16 CD 💿 when I was 8 years old.
I’m 28 years old now how time flies! This song hits different being older.
May God bless and protect you all 🙏
This generation music will forever stand as the best.
This song is actually amazing. Beautiful lyrics
I remember walking through Sears in Everett WA as a kid, and their new TVs would play the music video to this song
Even in 2023, this song still speaks the truth. If not, prove me wrong
Almost 20yrs later n I'm still think8ng of you not only wen this song comes on, I miss you so much. Rip my best friend my everything. 🙏🙏🙏 Brian M. Fry❤❤❤
🌹
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support. You have yourself a wonderful day ahead🌺🌺❤️🤘🏻
I will keep moving forward.....God is King!
This puts in perspective the fact humans could do so much with what God blessed us with but we would rather let greed , hate , and selfishness pave our path .. For anyone who reads this , just know your important and never give up no matter how bad life might seem at this time ...
This song takes me back to a time when i believed in myself and mylife had meaning.
I remember my high-school blasting this in the lunch courtyard.....crazy to look back at that moment
In the 2000’s I was in kindergarten, this song made me a rocker. Till this day I love metal rock and more. This song is my roots.
This song just randomly popped into my head today. All these years and I'm still lost and looking for that "more"
Christian band.
When I was 12 this song was so catchy. Now it’s a part of my existential crisis.
Awesome meaningful track. Praise Jesus! 🖤
How did I forget this song for so long😭😭😭....so many early 2000's memories flashing forward rn...I had to sit down 😭
songs like these have to be the most unheard of, yet very popular at the same time. you stumble across it somewhere by chance and you’re like “where has this been”
Thank you Switchfoot for saving my life. You kept me going when I was lost and in darkness. Love you❤
Aaaaahhh! Summer of 2003. The best year of my life, & music, like this, was so good still. I was 23 when this came out, & life could not have been better. Carefree, adventurous, spontaneous, & I was pretty damn cute, too! Thank you, Switchfoot, for this wonderful song, & for instilling the memories of 2003 in my mind for life.
