Danger: Wildman lyrics

This is kinda obvious to me:

I know a ghost, (the holy spirit (aka holy ghost))

And when doubted his truth reveals incredible vengeance. (people that don't believe or follow god will goto hell)
Vanity is a sepulcher, (if you don't have it you will die [hell])

Do as you please, shame will follow
Do as you please, and shame will follow (if you do what you want you will have shame and regrets)

Languages rot and insects lose interest, (in the end languages do nothing. All christian are joined by the holy spirit which is talking in tongues and little hypocrites lose interest in god because there relationship isn't strong enough)
Mountains of plastic: melting away, (when people build there selves up [mountains of plastic] it will only fall)

As long as these struggles are aimless,
We will all be standing still
Standing still (maybe he is saying that all the controversy between different denominations is useless and no one is getting anywhere)

When worded correctly, truth is never a cliché; (pretty obvious)
This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears. (so many hypocrites don't hear the truth of christianity. They hear "religion")

Collect the leaves,
Count them,
Name them,
Study each and every single one of them (i can't really put my finger on this one unless its saying that we need study people and there beliefs an not just condemn as christians)

As long as these struggles are aimless,
We will all be standing still (again, must be important:p)

When worded correctly, truth is never a cliché;
This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears (this is something he really wants to get across in this song)

All mistakes can be marked by borders, (the world marks people mistakes by how "bad" they are)
All of love can be traced to a maker (self-explanatory. All love is traced to god)
It seems as if what is most important,
Isn't noticed when forgotten (so many people forget what is really going on)

Do as you please, shame will follow,
Do as you please, and shame will follow, (explained this earlier)
The sun and the moon, (each passing day)
You'll always take them for granted, ("you" as in people, take life for granted)
What's delicate is lost (life is delicate. And everyone with lose it)

As the selfish forgot what is sacred, (selfish people who live for themselves forget god)
The humble forget themselves (i can't tell if this is good or bad but he is saying that the people who put god before them forget who they really are)

When worded correctly, truth is never a cliché;
This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears (this is said three times in this song! I love this verse:)

It seems the every single sould in this world now judges everything. Even in music no one is save from the judgement of a fellow human.

@tommygeezus there is plenty of christian meaning in this song.

1. Sepulcher-gravestone (vanity is a quick way to death)
2. Do as you please, shame will follow (do what you want and nothing good will come out of it in the end)
3. As long as these struggles are aimless (the constant bickering between atheists and christians), we will all be standing still (no one gets any closer to the other's side)
4. When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche (self-explanatory)
5. All mistakes can be marked by borders (mistakes have a beginning and end [the fall of mankind which can be found in genesis 3])
6. All of love can be traced to a maker (maker =god; god is defined, in the bible, as love)
7. It seems as if what is most important, isn't noticed when forgotten (most atheists dont claim god is false, they claim he doesn't exist, or, forget him)
8. And that whole last paragraph of screaming is self-explantory if you read genesis and exodus)

So yes, just because they have christian members doesn't mean they must be christian, but the lyrics speak for themselves.

As for the zombie ep, it isn't christian. They wanted to have some fun, but you will notice, they didn't start cussing or speaking a false message.

@voicefonecrying. The holy ghost did have vengeance. It killed a bunch of people in egypt that didnt follow moses. And yes some people can understand it. You either have an war for it or you don't. This music helped me be closer to god and if it wasn't for it i would probably have committed suicide a long time ago.

No one can claim to understand the lyrics, because no one actually knows what the writer was thinking when they wrote them. Get over yourselves. Lyrics are always open for interpretation. Personally i can't see how this is christian at all, and i think that there is a difference between christian music and a band having christian members. And if you do see this as christian, that's your choice, but i challenge you to explain how the zombie ep is christian.

God is loving, he isn't vengeful anymore. It's why he sent down his only son. Regardless, we do need to praise him, despite the type of music,and trust me, with this music being popular right now (in my life as well) it's getting the message out where it never was before. Tdwp is doing their part, and i'm sure god sees that.

A lot of tdwps songs are about sin and our coruption, but its true. The world is corrupted with alot of nonbelievers out there. And if this kind of music brings in people who just like the music, it can change their mind after knowing what this band is really doing. Speaking out to the people, worshiping god. I forget what else i was going to say. Oh yeah, i like this band alot more after knowing what their lyrics mean. My fav hardcore band :)

Voiceofonecrying, obviously you need to tune up your ears when you are listening to this sub-genre of christian rock. There are many people, like myself and others, that can understand the lyrics and the words by listening to the song without reading the lyrics. To say that tdwp's music brings about the presence of satan is blasphemy. Tdwpwcarftw is correct in his statement about the old testament. It does state that god accepts praise in the form of loud music and banging drums. He wants his praise to be heard outside of cathedrals, he wants to hear it all the way to the heavens. And if you read the old testament again, you would see that god does unleash vengeance. Ever hear of noah and the ark? The whole 40 days and 40 nights of rain, where god killed off the entire populace of the known earth, saving only noah's family and a male and female of every animal on earth? That is absolute vengeance my friend, maybe you should reexamine your belief structure and realize that although you don't understand the way these guys praise our lord, they are doing so. Would you have the same opinion about somebody singing in latin, because i know i cannot understand a word of latin, can you?

Everyone makes a great point in this. Worship is definitely acceptable to god in every form. If it be metal, etc. , then that's awesome-without this different kind of worship, i think some people would honestly never come to know him who loves them most. However, i do think some metal bands have fallen away from the true presence of the lord in their songs. I honestly have never listened to much of the devil wears prada music or been to one of their shows, so i wouldn't exactly know. Essentially, if a band is willing to sacrifice a typical rockstar status for the ushering in of god's love and mercy on behalf of the great commission (which is really pretty much what god intended music for), then they must make sure that's exactly what they're doing. If the band is doing just that, then i know people can come to know the lord just through his shear presence, regardless if they understand what is being screamed or sung. It's like hearing a person speak in tongues, if any of you ever have. It's awesome and you can totally feel god through it, though you may not have any clue what is being said. "where the spirit of the lord is, there is freedom. " no one should get angry at anyone-we should be encouraging our brothers and sisters to keep their path straight before the lord. "everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. " -james 1:19. That's all that this vessel will say for now. I sincerely wish the best on all of your walks with christ! God bless! -martina

@voiceofonecrying; have u read the old testatement at all? Have u not read about all the things he did, god has plenty of wrath and he has every right to, he created us and most of us ignore him, i'd be pretty darn mad too, and do u also not know what he's gonna do to us in the end days? He is a very vengeful god, he is love but that doesnt mean that vengeance is contradicting to love, and i dont get what u'r saying, are u saying that u can worship through screaming? In psalms it says to worship the lord with crashing symbols, and loud playing, it's true that most of their songs arnt worship so to say but it does glorify god, their music is talking about how there is a god and how he loves us, and i didnt come to this site to look for the meaning of these lyrics cause they are very clear on what they're talking about, i came here to read these types of msgs and speak the truth, it seems to me that u know truth but u pretty much shot down their music, so i decided to enlighten u, that is if u ever read this haha
