| The Story Human was written mainly about preachers, and the like, who portray themselves as being closer to "Godliness" than your average man-on-the-street. I feel that if anyone actually can achieve a "higher level" in this mortal coil, there are probably very few preachers who have done this. Likewise, I also wanted to point out that you shouldn't look to me, or anyone for that matter, as an example. Every man, and woman, has a daily routine of doing something that they know they shouldn't, and the sooner we all realize how human we are, the better off the whole world will be. The last verse ends on the note that these "holier than thou" types have no right to judge me. I may look scary, but I make a good point. The Lyrics 1: You always seem to know just what to say. Bait their trust and lead the little lambs astray. I'm sick of all these silly little games you play. You never believed in me anyway. You say you know just what I'm going through. You say you know just what I gotta do. Make an act of faith and just follow you. You're just a mortal human being too. Chorus: I'm human. I made another mistake. I'm human, and I sin most every day. I'm human, and I know that you are too. I'm human. I'm human just like you. 2: I'm not a superstar. Don't look up to me. I'm not Christ, so don't hang me on your tree. I'm not a savior, and there's no way I could ever be. Just look a little past what you see. The spirit's willing, but the flesh is weak. A sheep in wolf's clothing... so oblique. Most people thought Christ was just a freak. Well I guess maybe God is alot like me. (Repeat Chorus) |
| The Story The lyrics of Babylon are not nearly as controversial as the actual meaning behind them. The song was written just as the great controversy over the war in Iraq was beginning. On one side, people were screaming that we (USA) shouldn't stick our noses in other peoples business. On the other side, people were saying that we can't sit back and watch an evil man gain power. Both good points! I took the fact that the capital of Iraq was once the historic Babylon and mixed it with the idea that some radicals view New York as the prophetic Babylon and came up with the dual vision of the fall of Baylon on both sides. Capitalism was attacked and an evil tyrant was taken from his seat of power as well. I see the balance of the universe being set in these events as well as the drawing near of the time when all will answer for their deeds, both good and evil. The Lyrics 1: Beneath these spacious skies... confusion. Men find comfort in lies... delusion. One man is spiritless. Another does his best. Can mortal eyes see past illusion? Bridge 1: Darkness is falling. Celestial signs are calling. Eye of all sight Bring us to light. Chorus: Oh Babylon, the great and mighty have fallen. Your day is done. Iniquity will consume you. His kingdom come. The throne is set upon this world. Each and every one... come and bow before the Son. 2: Forces move on... no hesitation. The chosen come through tribulation. The prophesies foretell of where the spirits dwell. And now we stand in jubilation. (Repeat Bridge 1) Bridge 2: A hearts love is burning. The winds of time are turning. Awaken the saints and rise in His name. |
| The Story Chameleon was written several years ago (almost ten actually) when I had just gone through a period of adjustment from leaving the "Christian" band Golgotha behind. If I had learned anything from my experiences in the so-called Christian music industry, it was these two: Nothing and no one is what it seems. And you had better learn to adapt to your environment if you're going to survive. These were the two main pillars of the song. Just as you begin to see the true colors of everything around you, you must also be able to live inside another skin to conceal what is going on inside you and to protect yourself from the attacks of others. To be cliché, you can't judge a book by its cover. So I say, don't let your cover be the true judge of you. Always keep them guessing and they'll never know which bad thing to say about you. The Lyrics 1: Time to walk in a different jungle. Better change my skin. Fade from black to grey to white trying to fit in. Heaven help me when I stumble. Green eyes turn to black. Onward Christian soldiers ready to attack. Chorus: What color is the devil? I'm the great chameleon. What color is your god? I'm the great chameleon. What color is Jesus Christ? I'm the great chameleon. What color is the Lord? I'm the great chameleon. 2: Hate me again and hate me some more. Nothing's really changed. Just what is it that you hate me for? We all remain insane. Can the zebra change his stripes because you don't approve? Keep on pushing, shoving, pushing. I will not be moved. (Repeat Chorus) |
