I am a simple musician finding ways to be heard...so here is the first, maybe first of concern. If anything I hate the bland monotony of some of the popular bands' lyrics and even music...so I tend to attempt to redefine what is to be heard.
Story behind the song
Two millions stories summed into one that defines them all. A story of anyone who is, has, and will be confronted with the choice, "What will drive my life? The divine? Or my own ways?"
Now complete, the story is full in purpose. In youth, the things that define the person are laid before him or her to choose. In this story, he got to see a glimpse of his future and in that was he able to realize his place on this earth before God.
On the Christain note, this song is a bit grim...but realize that in all of it...he speaks to himself, God didn't say that to him as he walks the lone dark streets of some forgotten alley. Those words are his alone. The decision is always laid before us all, in youth, and as time goes...it's always ours to choose, but what will we choose? What's wise, or what we want to do. "What our heart tells us..."
Let us consider,
Consider
Lyrics
His open heart bleeds, it’s all been done.
His last breath seethes, it breaks the cold.
Who has done this to me? Who pay in regret!
Oh, they will see what this life feels like…
I wont tell…oh, I wont say a word.
The lifeless can’t tell, the nightmare is now yours.
Here are some two million stories summed into one!
Here I have cried, someone’s else fault,
A hope I once may have is perfectly gone.
I have seen what you have not…so just go on.
Is it worth my life’s energy?
To put my faith in an empty world,
Why did I forsake my loving God,
So many years before?
Cause I’m worthless now…
This death is real.
A sick man, walks, his heart beats…
A word then flies, it comes to me,
Am I alive? Do I still walk?
I should’ve dropped, ten feet ago…
Why oh, why, am I permitted to live,
When I defaced glory,
Why, oh why, must I breathe,
Just to know, I failed my God…
On I dream..
And on I dream…
Here are some two million stories summed into one!
Here I have cried, someone’s else fault,
A hope I once may have is perfectly gone.
I have seen what you have not…so just go on.
Is it worth my life’s energy?
To put my faith in an empty world,
Why did I forsake my loving God,
So many years before?
Cause I’m worthless now…
This death is real.
