WTS! Enjoying Music.Flyleaf

So I am going to post a song. For some this may not be there
type of music but remember WTS!is about experiencing new things
with an open mind. In a way to teach you to appreciate all
things.Well this song I will post is by Flyleaf. Through times
I was hurt after being left by mother feeling abandoned,I found
comfort in the music as I felt I could relate. Mostly we can
relate to the music of flyleaf. Thus the reason why I love art,
because it always puts us on the stand which is why it is a star
moment a wts! moment.I will explain what this song is about if
you do not understand.Well at least my perspective.



So Flyleaf has its christian origins. Being a Christian myself
I would like to teach you some things that you do not regularly
learn at your Catholic church. And it realtes to the song
So the start of the song it is from a righteous
perspective as if God himself were speaking to the broken hearted
person.Obviously in this case its a person who thinks everything
depends on them thinking they can achieve all things for themselves.
as it says "living like it all depends on you".
In other words a greedy person because as we have heard
we need GOd to help us accomplish our goals.In the bible
it says those who do not surrender will suffer.This person
who is suffering for their
sins you can say or their selfish acts are in pain, probably
because they are at loss full of guilt and can not find a way
out.Let us say a business man who no longer knows what to do
as his business falls. Well in this case it is for not seeking
God and thinking that he himself could make his business stand
without God. The business can represent anything
in relation to building or something that needs building for
example a home a family. Moving on the man gets on his knees
"Trying to find air to breathe again" In other words looking
for change a new hope. And GOd says or whoever is the
person who is righteous and knows the way says "Only surrender
will help you now" than it says "I love you and believe me
please see again" is God saying I forgive you get up from you
weeping and have confidence. Then it shows what sins he had
commited or the wrong deeds "with face value wisdom and happy
lies" meaning a wrong sense of knowledge.Lets go back to
the analogy of the business man he has a wrong sense of
how to run a business so he is lieing constantly. Which
gets him later as he will be on his knees again crying
at what "they say" which in this case can mean any
negative voice that takes his faith and confidence.
"Your so close to me you nearly died" This goes in hand
with God being an almighty presence and if he reveals
himself completely he can kill someone with his holy presense
as that which is unholy can no live with in it.
Than the Lord says "They do not have to understand you
so be still" As Jesus said to the wind Be still as the
ocean waves frightened the apostoles.So this shows that
the man is turbulent inside perhaps because he has a duty
to fulfill that others just might not understand.
For example in the bible it shows that some are commanded
to do some absurd things to get something better in return
and so it happens. So this is a way to give the message
to the man to be still and have faith that he will
stop the ocean waves and the winds that frighten him.
"wait and know I understand you" In other words be patient
and do not jump to conclusions of others not understanding,
if they do not do not worry because I do.Those words are
touching which is why i love this artist.Well proceeding.
It repeats the men stumbling again, but than it says
"The flood gates are opening and pouring out" This is
a theme used in christianity showing that the blessings of
GOd are coming upon that person.Then it says the person
is on their knees again right were God wants them to be.
Then it says "SEE AND BELIEVE AGAIN" this is pretty much
potraying the will of GOd.Meaning that sometimes God lets
us suffer like the lepers because in the meantime he will
reveal his divine nature and heal them."See and believe"
means you are forgiven.That being said.Hope you enjoyed
and may the flood gates touch you.
