** This is not the re-mastered version done by Joey Sturgis **
God don't you think we should talk?
I'm having trouble knowing if you're really listening at all
If there's a hell you might as well mark a spot for my soul
If there's a god I'm sorry for I won't pass the gates
I'm not quite sure if I deserve to wake up
I want to sleep forever if it means never looking in the mirror
Son, this is not a mountain that I've put before you to fall from
This is but a small peak that I need you to overcome
I didn't give light to this Earth just to watch you fall to the dark
I'm so sick of feeling like I am
A hollow shell of the one that I know so well
We all seem to show our true colors mean the most
Only when we're seconds from a grave unmarked
If you listen for my voice, it will echo for centuries
Everything beneath your feet the colors to make the black and white fade
I exist in all you see
I didn't give light to this Earth just to watch you fall
I'm so sick of feeling like I am
A hollow shell of the one that I know so well
We all seem to show our true colors mean the most
Only when we're seconds from a grave unmarked
I need someone to see
The difference between who I am and who I want to be
Oh my god, build me as I'm meant to be
Shattered son in the sea
Know that where you sink
Is temporary
Cause you'll rise and you'll see
When you pass what you find
From the depths of your grave
Will end your suffering
Carry the cross until your bones break
It's never too late to change
We paid for the lyric video before InVogue signed us, we feel it's a good way for fans to learn the lyrics and interpret the message in the way we'd prefer them to.
Even though you say your band isn't "Christian", as a Christian metalhead myself i really appreciate and love this song and the lyrics! So thank you! :)
Rory said this himself here about a year ago... "I posted this from my personal twitter, I am not a Christian, and we all have different beliefs in the band. There's no Christian basis for these songs, and certainly not for my personal life. Just a talk between a man and god. Thanks for the interpretation though! -Rory R."
And this is what he said to me personally...
"...We all feel things, and we all have our own separate beliefs, each one of us in the band is incredibly spiritual and have a lot of connection and faith in a god and a greater purpose, just because it's not aligned with a set religion doesn't make it any less powerful...."
Trust. It makes full sense. Because you dont follow their God, doesnt mean you are wrong. Like you can't talk to the diety man names God. Rory is a gentleman and a scholar
A song hasn't given me the feels like this song just did in awhile.
10 years ago!!?? I can't believe that I never heard of Dayseeker until like a year or 2 ago. I could've had more good music to listen to when I was in high school
I remember they were another local band before they blew up. If you barely just found out about Dayseeker. Go check out Silent Planet and Phineas. I’m glad I seen them before they blew up on got on a label. I’m still bumping this in 2024!
So beautiful. I love the lyric that states that he didn't give light to this world to watch us fall.
He couldn't bear it.
So he gave His son to take the fall for us and to rescue us from ourselves.
Amen.
God doesn't exist in any evident sense. And even if he did, *he* would be the one responsible for whatever anyone would need to be "saved from". In this context he's *partially rescuing* people from a hell he created (most people are not Christian). That's like starting a house fire with 10 people inside, saving 3-4 of them and calling yourself a savior. Utter and complete absurdity.
Still playing in 2024. Still remember when you guys were just starting out with silent planet and phineas, The Parousia and Silence O’ Israel. Glad all of you guys are out there spreading your music! 💯🙏❤️
Don't stop writing and making music Dayseeker, you're all so talented. I support you all 100%.
A man that knows true maturity wrote this song. Its so deep and understanding with a dynamic structure
I'm so glad they got signed. This is the success that Rory deserves
controversy or not, god speaks love through you guys. continue to be unashamed.
I'm a deconverted christian, an atheist now, and I wish I could've discovered these guys while I was still a Christian. I know I would've really appreciated it. I love it now, I even got chills, cause I know how powerful this is. Great song, I love it, and religion doesn't matter when it comes to good musicality, a good message, and good writing.
So happy for Rory and Alex! Grindin for a long time!
Man! Whether its my interpretation or not this song is inspiring! What gets me is that most songs you hear are from the position that when things are tough and bad things are happening its proof that God does not exist or that he's malevolent, but what you have said is that no matter how bad things seem there is light at the end of the tunnel. God does not give us tests we cannot pass, which is so true. Either way, the song is amazing and not only inspired me as a human being, but as a musician.
OK people, Christian or not, this song is powerful and as a Christian spoke to me. Not feeling good enough, failing God all the time, this song has so much truth and honesty in it. Wish more Christians would admit their shortcomings and stop being 'white washed tombs' as Jesus said.
Haste The Day, Oh, Sleeper and these guys. I simply cannot stop listening to them.
Thank God!! They deserve to be signed!!!
YES! The continuation of Arms Like Yours. I loved that band so much and now they're back, at least to some extent.
Although Dayseeker isn't a christian band, this music is awesome!
You don't need to be a christian to understand God, and this music tell some truths yet to be told to many people.
Excellent song and lyrics :D
Goosebumps. Every. Time.
This song is phenomenal!!! People are struggling with their faith because of the constant pressure and onslaught from the world, the end is near so the enemy is turning up the heat. We need to keep close to God to make it.
Goosebumps. Every time.
This song gave me chills.
This song speaks to me so much. I know you guys have said it's not a Christian song but that I what understand from it. It's my interpretation. I am currently struggling with my Faith and I don't know where I stand with it. I always feel like He is not their and I feel like giving up all the time. But this song here, always reminds me that no matter what, he will always be there for me. Thanks a lot you guys! Wish the best for you all because you all deserve it. Much Love from Illinois!
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. I'll pray for you.
Thank You very much!
No Ordinary Love by Memphis May Fire also spoke to me when I was feeling like that.
You feel like he's not there because he isn't there.
If that's what you think, then that's fine.
Finally these guys got signed, its about time, now release a CD so I can replay it a thousand times.
wow this song really gets me. faith, full of hope and new beginnings!
just started listening to dayseeker and wow, they're a truly amazing band
I don't fangirl very often, but I full out fangirl over this. You guys are perfect.
i can't even handle how good and powerful this song is. This band is crazy good.
That breakdown...*shivers* damn.
this song is so inspiring, i cant believe that people judge this genre of music when obviously you can see that its not demonic. You guys are awesome cant wait to see you guys live!
After countless times listening to this, it still brings me to tears.
this song pretty much tore me to shreds, everything said in it, was everything i was feeling... thanks to the uploader...
Cant wait for this album. Will be the album of the year.
The message in this song is just... Wow. It hit home.
I can not find the words too describe how amazing this is.
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song and it still manages to give me goose bumps.
OH MY GOSH THE CLEAN VOCALIST IS FROM ARMS LIKE YOURS YES.
I'm an anti-theist and i can appreciate this. Even the non-religious have asked themselves if there was something/someone listening to them crying out.
This is the kind of music that pulls people through hard times, and i thank you for that.
breathtaking
Rory slammed this song, i cant even begin.
One hell of a voice.
And as someone who is open to the idea of god, but doesn't believe in it..
I love the message he puts out because its purely from his heart.
That is something I truly believe.
Invogue, you've done it again, another great band
This song gave me so many chills. I'm really loving this band and this is only the second song I've heard from them.
All I have to say is WOW! Listening to this song for the first time, just blew me away. Amazing song. Looking forward to listening to their music.
Never stop posting this amazing band, they are to perfect.
wow this song really hits me. i almost cried!!!
Struggling with my faith is the most difficult thing I have ever been through And the battle isn't over.
This is as amazing the 100th time as it was the first. Amazing, truly amazing.
love this mans voice
I just can't stop listening to this song. It is so good. This song describes how a lot of humans are dealing with and its just amazing.
These lyrics are really moving
My friend's teacher got mad for listening to Dayseeker in school (it's a Christian private school). But this is the song that explains how God gave up his one son for all of us despite how we truly are. It's truly what I would call a masterpiece.
You guys are definitely going to be the next big thing.
Can't wait to watch you guys grow.
holy dayseeker, that was amazing
Wow! Clean vocals are beautiful and screams amazing! Really love this!
Truly the lyrics on this song made me thought about how close or far I am from my beliefs. I respect everyone else's opinion for what I have experience on my own flesh and bones. Time is the essence of an existence.
I didn't know they signed with Invogue! I love this band
When listening to music, I try to find as many ways possible to identify with the artist and the meaning behind the song being portrayed. It's much more meaningful that way and causes me to hold an extreme amount of value for music that I enjoy. Perhaps I interpreted your original comment incorrectly. However, after reading your reply to me, I understand much better than before and from a completely different point of view as well. Thank you guys. For you music and everything you do as a band.
This song hits home hard, great job Day Seeker, don't stop making meaningful music and impacting the lives of many, we've got faith in you. Do it for us.
You guys have acquired a new fan. I hope to see more of your work.
Wow. I can't wait for more.
im about to cry. such a beautiful song christian or not it is speaking to me, btw i do believe in the lord
this band WILL BE BIG!
a song hasnt hit me in the feels this much since Being As An Oceans "Dear G-D". keep up the great work guys!
i must say this song is a masterpiece, everything is just rigth, the idea, the feeling, the lyrics it's all genious keep it up!
Amazing! Got astonished by the power!
Nice soul in this song!
Really deep lyrics that you can relate to very talented vocalist and one of the best songs for a very long time
This song really makes me wonder what has happened or is happening in the vocalist's life spiritually. He obviously has some sort of christian background, because he uses phrases like "carry the cross" that are unique to christianity. My prayer for him is that he would begin to understand grace, that even though he may feel like he doesn't deserve anything, God sees him as someone extremely valuable and wanted.
100% agree.
I don't know if Rory even wrote this, but yeah, perhaps he had some sort of Christian background in his past. He's made it pretty clear he's not a Christian now, but in the one video, it sounds to me like Rory may have not even written this song. Perhaps, perhaps not. I don't know, I don't own the album yet, so I can't check to see who wrote this.
You don't need to be christian to write phrases like that. I've used that in many of my songs and i am everything but a believer. Neither do you have to be a believer to use or talk about the concept of a god in lyrics.
I understand that, but it's the last bit that particularly sounds like it comes from a Christian background. "Carry the cross until your bones break / It's never too late to change". The rest of it sounds like it could just come from a deist.
the preorder for their full length ships tomorrow!!! so excited to get this album
This is my first time listening to you guys and all I want to say is thank you for this song. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm going through some hard times in my life right now and felt so close to giving up until this song reminded me I'm not alone in my fight. Thank you.
I'm a big death metal dude and for some reason I really like these guys.
The first minute of this song is amazing
this song fits my soul and i'm crying rite now...
The amount of meaning in this song is so phenomenal... Dayseeker, you guys are AMAZING. :)
Do you ever get chills listening to a song for the first time? I just got that
I didn't give light to this earth just to watch you fall to the dark .. Oh God !!
What a *godly* piece.
every song they make is just pure awesome
the lyrics..... T_T beautiful
This needs to be on Spotify...NOW!
Arms like yours influenced as I love it! Couldn't have come at a better time!
Great band, great song and lyrics. I have been searching for maturity in most metal music nowadays and they point me to the ones who really inspire me to fight against the struggles with my faith. Thank you!
I posted this from my personal twitter, I am not a Christian, and we all have different beliefs in the band. There's no Christian basis for these songs, and certainly not for my personal life. Just a talk between a man and god. Thanks for the interpretation though!
-Rory R.
I love how when the vocalist screams its God talking and when he sings its him asking questions and saying he doesn't deserve him. Pretty cool way to make the song.
Amazing Rory!
truly stunning!!!
the lyrics are great. amazing stuff.
This song is truly amazing. I love it so much. Well done to Rory and the guys, and a massive congrats on being signed!!!
Blah blah blah, point blank, the best song writing and the best vocals to come along in a VERY long time. Dayseeker is flat out amazing.
This album needs to be dropped boys lol such a wait but sooo pumped for it
I love how the screaming is God talking to us :D
I have never come across a song that has given me chills like this one did, the lyrics are spectacular! Great job guys, seriously!
this song gave me CHILZZZZ! i liked how it was like someone speaking to god and god speaking back but in a different way !!!! SCREAMING!!!! well written and great idea for this song
With what I'm going through in my life right now this hits home every time thank you guys so much for this song
I know, wondered what happened to them, and NOW THEY'RE BACK!! Loving it, and love the intro.
Does anybody else get chills from listnin to this awesome song?
MMF makes me think of Dayseeker. Probably not technically considered a "Christian" band, but has Christian themes in the lyrics. And really all they do is use it as a way to make music, which is art. They make their art personalized. Truly amazing.
So powerful, I loved it!
Very Inspiring song, the lyrics in this are exactly what I've been needing to hear
Duuuuuuuude this is amazing.
The one that got me into you guys. Feels good to revisit
