I never wanted
And I never cared before
Now take it all back
This is a new day
How I long to regress
To the days before I took upon myself
The obsessions of this world
A day of innocence equating beauty
For tomorrow may fall
And today is already gone
Now take it back
This is a new day
I've grown tired of chasing
Convinced I was in need
And now the years I've spent
Only a slave to this
Tomorrow may fall
And today is already gone
I will no longer adore
These things that will never satisfy me
I have seen my world change
And then go back to where it came
In this vicious circle
We are all brought back to life
Only to die again
But without these barren obsessions
I am simply free
crunkcore no drama attatched either. I dont know what you mean they write about relationships but Tim specifically said they write about struggles IN their Lives and how they pursue getting closer to God and thats what this song is about He holds no power to change anything with only the strength within himself...Tim writes about the struggles of life yes...but specifically in the christian lifestyle...it is a change of heart but there are many ways the heart changes...The life and blood of Christ is a change of heart...Tomorrow may fall and today is already gone but it gets better and then life hits you...But when you began to realize that Christ took your hits for you. Tim is a Christian and he professes his faith...sure everyone takes music different but truly it orginates with the writer everyone has freedoms so...just sharing my input...
To Ailius: You might be right, you are probably wrong though. Not trying to start a drama filled internet feud with you but, AILD's lyrics are not all about god. AILD is not a christian band...they are christians IN a band..and Tim has said that their lyrics aren't preachy, they talk about everyday struggles, relationships, etc.
In this song I'd have to agree with Fallenfromgrace and Mandeedollface.
Personally, I'm atheist so I have no religious appeal towards this song, If it happens to be a religious song, then I look at AILD's song a bit different than a christian.
And again, not trying to hurt anyone's feelings or anything, I'm just throwing my opinion out there. :P
well your understanding of the song may be right or it might not. it could be about someone who is undergoing a change of heart. who was being a wicked malicious person. and something happend and they realized how they were acting. that they shouldnt be acting like that because "tomorrow may fall and today is already gone. and once he changed his life became better and he felt free from all the pains of the world
I really like the line "Take it back, this is a new day." It shows that when we repent of past sins, we are clean in the blood of Jesus. We can choose not to be slaves anymore. "Take it back" is saying to the sinful desires, "No, I don't need that."
The whole song rings with the vanity of the worldy things. It's beautiful. Only in God we can fully have our desires met.
