Dictate What you think is pivotal Mandate Just for the sake of Ego Controlling your decision making The world we're missing is still ours for the taking Accelerate Into isolation Gravitate To comfort, presentation Anxiety laden, restless confusion No courage, no confidence, absent delusion Most of us would be lying Holding fast to denying If we Said we're all feeling swell and content All of us would be slipping Backpedaling, gripping So tight To our fragile confidence We're trying Just to convince The world we're Something That we can't be We are not Afraid of Being alone Of being caught By oursselves With only Our own thoughts Activate With hope and integrity Honesty The only true currency Devastate The guilt, not the guilty And I promise a better night's sleep

    General Comment:I think its about 2 faced christians, one moment their praising God with a sort of spiritual high, but after that they go to the bar or do w.e their sinnful nature decides because they can't be the perfect christian they want to be so they live double lives, one spiritual and one sinful.

    General Comment:I think Skillet has it close, AND the title has a lot to do with it.

    The first two verses are about the church as a whole, the common conquering Christian attitude. Save save save its a numbers game, but its done in a fake heart so much of the time. I've been there.

    I've also been the one pretending everything is going great and God has given me the most perfect life, when inside my head and heart thats not what is going on.

    But being honest, having hope/faith, acting with integrity, thats what is going to lead people to Jesus. Its the sin not the sinner. Get real with your faith and be true; you'll feel better about it.

    Thats how I'm reading it anyways, and it feels right to me.

    General Comment:Another song about the church and how it has conditioned us to be gnostic Christians, meaning we think it is between us and God and nobody else. In reality, without the community of faith we are not fulfilling our purpose in God's will.

    It's about how most Christians present a front that they're swell and happy and have no problems, when in reality we all struggle and have problems. If we'd admit we have problems and confess our sins to one another instead of being hypocrites, then perhaps the lost will see that we are not so different than them, except of course that we have a God to help us overcome our sin.

    "Devastate the guilt, not the guilty"

    When you find a brother or sister who has sin in their lives, it's not for you to condemn them. Love them and help them beat the sin, thus devastating the guilt and not the person.
