Creed – Who's Got My Back?

  General Comment:It reminds me of Halo. Idk why, I think it's because
  
  The covenant has been broken
  By mankind
  
  Mankind being the UNSC
  and the covenant, well being the covenant.
  I think this is mostly from the Elites' point of view, because their belief was broken down by Master Chief and the UNSC.
  Idk, just a thought.

  General Comment:Fro soem reason the first time I heard this song I thought of 9/11. I was hoping to hear of a connection since this album came out after 9/11. So far never heard of one. I still think of 9/11 when I hear this song. That's the beauty of music. You can interpret a song to suit your own feelings. To each his own.

  General Comment:I think the meaning of this song is not in specific lines but as a message as a whole... there are a few themes/questions that are repetitious throughout the song like: who is there to support 'us' and the pursual of the truth 'what is the truth'
  this song to me is generally both sad and uplifting. sounds like the leader of a tribe trying to rally his people to forget that which has torn their culture/society apart and rebuild by seeking the truth.

  General Comment:I'm from germany and although I believe that my english isn't that bad, I really have some problems with understanding the meaning of the chorus. Is "Who's got my back now" a saying or something like this? If you translate this word by word it doesn't make much sence...

  General Comment:Yeah I agree chaos8879. I've always thought this song dealt with world unity and being there for the people who need you most.

  General Comment:This song to me has a different meaning… the way I see it is that someone just found out they were deceived in a big way by a spouse, lover, partner, parent, etc… and you are barely coming to grips with it ad you don’t know what to do:
  
  
  Who's got my back now?
  When all we have left is deceptive
  So disconnected
  So what is the truth now?
  
  
  And now they’re finding out that all that they had, all that they lost can be “re-created”:
  
  
  There's still time
  All that has been devastated
  Can be recreated
  Realize
  We pick up the broken pieces
  Of our lives
  Giving ourselves to each other...ourselves to each other
  To rest our head on
  
  
  I dunno… that’s my take on it. That’s how it speaks to me

    It does mean that if you're thinking in the future. And re-creation would only happen for whatever survives from the "deceptive" and "disconnected" destruction of what was know as the truth.

  General Comment:Scott Stapp has got Cherokee descendants, so that is why he put it in, and the Indian guy is none other than Bo Taylor
