Be Somebody

I love it when songs are catchy and thought provoking.  I generally feel like Thousand Foot Krutch songs are a little too hard rock for my taste at times...but this song really got my attention when I first heard it on the radio.  Hope you all enjoy it!  :)  Let me know what you think it means.

Thousand Foot Krutch - Be Somebody

I’m just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times
I’m just a speck inside your head, you came and made me who I am
I remember where it all began, so clearly

I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you created me, something I would’ve never seen
When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don’t believe, I hope that they see you and me
After all the lights go down, I’m just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you’ve become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You’re the only one who knows, who I really am

We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far

And we’re all see through, just like glass
And we can shatter just as fast
That light’s been burned out for a while, I still see it every time I pass
It was lost in the coldness of my mind, behind a box of reasons why
I never doubted it was there, just took a little time to find
And even when...

I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you created me, something I would’ve never seen
When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don’t believe I hope that they see you and me
After all the lights go down, I’m just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you’ve become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You’re the only one who knows, who I really am

We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far
We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far

I’m just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times
When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don’t believe, I hope that they see you and me

Blog Rebirth: Living on the Edge

I stopped posting for the past two years.  To be honest, I realized my thoughts and my feelings two years ago was constantly negative and emo...lack of hope and purpose.  I had an attitude of "Why is the world against me?".  As a result, my faith in my Lord Jesus Christ is the only way I can escape from the pain I went through two years ago.  The old title "Dying to Live" meant to give up everything in my life to my Lord Jesus Christ, "Dying" to my self, in order to find peace, love, purpose, and life, "to Live".  To me that was the only way to escape from my pain.

Recently, I began to look back..."What has changed for the past 2-3 years?"  I realized that God has really brought me a lot of hope in my life.  He has brought me joy, peace and a completely different mindset.  Because of this change, and my recent decision of reviving my blog, I changed the title.  My new title "Living on the Edge" is in a way a new way of thought for me.  It is no longer an attitude of "why is the world against me?", but rather "How can my challenges, hardships, views, faith, etc. change and inspire the world around me?"  My hope is my posts can bring discussion, encouragement and a challenge of "Living on the Edge".
