I think it's more about a guy giving everything he has to the lord and trying to start his life over. Like you said, he doesn't like what his life is like currently and so he's trying to start over.

I think its just saying that if everything that could ever happen to you did, and everything was taking from you but you won't change who you are for anything, nothing can change you.

This is a type of Rebellius song in a way to Simple Plan Grow up. It means that he wants to be the person he is and not have anyone change him.

This song is all about being a Christian and what the world has to say about Christians.

Theres got to be a better way, they dissect everything we say to try to make us feel this way.

As Christians we try to tell the world about God but they take our words and twist them and turn them and throw them back at our faces to anger us.

Chorus: You can take the one thing I have left, I give it all away for so much less, you can take the heart inside my chest. You can take the one thing I have left, beat me to the ground and take my breath...

This is saying that no matter how much those people anger us it doesn't matter. They can take EVERYthing from us and it doesn't matter.

And I swear we were born to let you down. We scream but never make a sound. We point but don't know which direction
We are America right now.

This is talking about how Christians were born sinners and will always disappoint our Father in Heaven. We always try to tell people about God but never really suceed. Our failures aren't always due to people who don't want to listen either. Sometimes Christians just don't want to tell others about God or do so half heartedly. When this happens it is never our fault, we are constantly pointing the finger at someone else. No one in specific, just someone.

We are America right now. That line speaks for itself. As does the rest of the song.

This song is very powerful and is one of the best songs to ever come from Hawk Nelson.

I think, it for the people that walk all over the "Nice Guys". They take everything from them, but 'Who they are".

This song is about being yourself and not letting people get to you! This song has changed my life.

I'm not sure about the whole five paragraphs about God in every aspect of the song, but I think it does have some parts about God, like someone can hurt you, take everything away, but they can't take who you are inside.

Also, on a side note, I was kind of disappointed in Jason. When I talked to him backstage before one of his shows, I asked him the most important thing he had to tell young people and all he said was "Follow your dreams."

I love him and Hawk Nelson a lot. but that was pretty lousy advice.

Let's see. This is one of my favorite hawk Nelson songs. What it is pretty much saying is, people look at Christians differntly. They expect Christians to be little Miss (and Mr.) perfect. If you do even one little thing wrong, they'll be like "Ha, you're not a christian. You're not going to heaven. You did something wrong. And that means that you're not perfect anymore." Now, everone sins, even Christians. In teh Bible, it doesn't say that everyone is perfect, it says that God will forgive you for you sins. And that Jesus died on the cross to forgive us of those sins. The truth of God is like in the song where it says "the one thing I have left." and where it says something abut you can't change who I am. Just because someone says something, you should stand up for our belief. Both songs I have posted for have both been similar in meanings...standing up for your belief. The other song was Cassie by Flyleaf. I hope this helps.
