This Calling lyrics

I think it means that he craves for flesh that slowly has become an addiction, and the calling is that he won't succumb to the addiction but overcome it

Or he could be talking about a addiction to heroin "scars cravings" feeling a snece of guilt that the addiction is fighting with him at all times ... Just another interpration any of these can be right but its not really about that its about how we feel when we hear it thats why music is such a great thing it make us think tells stories helps and even if the lyrics can have a thousand meanings and interprataions there is no doubt that you still like the song for whatever reason it is... Even in classical music you hear it and make your own feelings to that piece ... Its a great song atr is a great band :)

@prozack12
sorry, but atr is definately not a christian band. That is a complete rumor and in many interviews ive read with the band, when that question comes up, the response is "nope, not at all". Although i do believe that some (if not all) the members are actually christians. Phil has addressed the seemingly christian lyrics and has said he "just writes what comes to mind" and that the references and interpretations are coincidental.

Sorry about the spelling mistakes lol it's 4:30 in the morning

Song**
of**
he's been granted eternal life***

First of all it's a christian band that sings about god... For example... Songd like forever in your hands, not alone, and a song for the hopless... It doesn't take a genious to figure out who's calling he needs and it's jesus's sacrifice. The burning in his heart is the temptation of sin... Like he sais "i steel my nerves for temptations at hand

I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all!! Means i hear him calling and he isn't far at all... Exactly as it sais lol

I'll note the past and spare the pain (he knows what he has done and he asks to spare the pain)

Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening. (it means with the spirit inside and the power of god he will over come the cravings fo the flesh)
and never forget these choices were made by me. (he knows it's his fault and he hears jesus and knows he's not far at all)

My strength has been tested (by god)
still i belive this calling (of god) will see me through (he's be granted eternal lie!! The song is made from verses such as john 3:16 lol

Not trying to be a jerk but not every heavy metal band is about crap
a lot of these guys feel it with their hearts and play the sufferings christ went through by showing evberyone through song lol

I think its about a young man struggling with the addiction of lust. " i secretly crave, crave that scent again, still feel it pressing on my now, now with the onset, my flesh is weakening, i steal my neaves for tempations at hand again. " this shows his addictions and tempations. The breakdown of the song -- "not falling victim... See me through. " is about the young mans battle, and he is making a point to stand against lust. And i think the chorus is about the young man trying to fight and god is the calling, reaching him and pullinghim away from his sin. Thats just what i think.

I think its about both! About a girl helping him through an addiction!

This is about a guy who has broken up with a girl, but feels it was a mistake, and wants her back.

Ok this is about a girl again maybe =/ but yeahh could very well be about drugs :p but to get to the point of this it is to allwayz no matter what is in your why if you want something badly enoiugh ull get it in time you just have to fight for it

Fight until you get what you have been waiting for
