Prey Lyrics
One at a time
One in the same One is the time That remains Snip back the weak before they give away I'm twisted in knots from hard work and strain I've been waiting so long for this time I'm terrified Blind in ways I've never realized I don't mind All at a time All in the same Califormula I've become prey Strolling down In my face These tears I'm not crying This will not kill me I've been waiting so long for this time I'm terrified Blind in ways I've never realized I don't mind To do this right We must realize Everyone kneads equally I've been waiting so long for this time I'm terrified Blind in ways I've never realized I don't mind |

The first verse seems to give the idea of how he has been moulded into the image of a soldier ("One in the same", "I'm twisted in knots from hard work and strain").
The chorus may give an indication of mixed feelings -- anticipation, fear, enlightenment and acceptance. The soldier is afraid to be on the frontline, fighting in a war, afraid that death is ever so imminent, only now because he realises what it is like. However even through his realisation of what war is like, he doesn't care. He simply wants to do what he wants to do.
The second verse seems to describe the soldier's futility and how all the efforts he has put in seem to be in vain, how the hunter has become the hunted. Even through this, he is attempting to hold back his true feelings of fright to maintain his composure as a soldier.
As for the bridge, I feel this is simply the message that war is not the answer, that all nations need equality.

"Prey was inspired by the band's move to Los Angeles to record their debut album, and Hasek's observation that people in L.A. drive cars worth more than some of the houses in their Tennessee hometown." - Total Assault
Check out the lyric in the second verse, "Califormula". I believe that lyric by itself qualifies the previous statement.
You've gotta trust the man who wrote it, eh?

One in the same
One is the time"
WERE ALL ONE IN JESUS
"Snip back the weak before they give away
I'm twisted in knots from hard work and strain"
send back judas he was weak and betrayed jesus he was so tierd from spreading the word and do amazing things
"I've been waiting so long for this time
I'm terrified
Blind in ways I've never realized
I don't mind"
jesus had been waiting so long for this time he was so afirad and did want to be sacrificed but he knew he had to do it and he did mind
"All at a time
All in the same"
everyone sins all at once he is dieing for everyone
"I've become prey
Strolling down
In my face
These tears I'm not crying
This will not kill me"
he knew he what was in store for him was not going to be gone for ever just a few days
"To do this right
We must realize
Everyone kneads equally"
we all need god equaly you need to realize that
jesse is a very sneaky write he write in ways that its hard to find but he lays out almost the hole story of jesue life in these song its tricky you just have to listen and think
Through The Iris : finding god
Wasteland: being sacrificed
Prey: going to the cross
Fault Line: jesus comeing back
these are also the only 4 song he did a special accostic LP for

"I've been waiting so long for this time
I'm terrified
Blind in ways I've never realized
I don't mind"
All at a time
All in the same
Califormula
I've become prey
Strolling down
In my face
These tears I'm not crying
This will not kill me
that may refer to how all at once everything changed and suddenly they realize someone has taken advantage of them
ha this is just what i think when i listen to it

"One is the time
That remains
Snip back the weak before they give away
I'm twisted in knots from hard work and strain"
one time remains...as in the first time or virginity...and then the weak are those who just give it up so easily but the narrator is trying hard not to

The true meaning about it was nailed by IncredibleEntity. That is the bands view on the song.
As for how I interpret it, it is a love song. If you can read the lyrics you would understand what I mean.

never hurt to express your oppinion on the meanings of songs but noone is completly sure. his lyrics are so deep and cryptic..
like i i think through the iris could be about two views on a relationship, and a argument between and atheist and a christian

But since the first time I heard this song I always took as someone waiting and worked for something so much that once they receive that one thing they are so terrified and scared about what could happen next.
