Complication's my claim to fame
And I can't believe there's another
Constantly just another
I can't avoid what I can't control
And I'm losing ground
Still I can?t stand down
And I know, yeah I know, yeah

[Chorus]
I know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around's breaking down to chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around's breaking down to chaos

It?s hard to trust anyone again
After all the let downs I've been through
Haunted by what I've been through
Air still trapped while I still can't breathe
And I'm screaming out
Give me hope somehow
And I know, yeah I know, yeah

[Chorus x2]

Chaos, chaos
I know you stay true, yeah
I know you stay, yeah, yeah, yeah

I know you stay true, everything around's breaking down
I know you stay true, everything around's breaking down

[Chorus x2]

    General Comment:i love this song. the meaning is pretty much straight forward- when your life is out of control, there is always one consistent- one thing you can count on. if your a Christian, you know God is the same today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow. slow down and talk to Him, listen to Him, seek Him first (Matthew 6:33-34).

    i first heard mute math on conan or leno- can't remember which one. i got their self-titled album @ a time in my life when i needed to hear it most-- inspirational lyrics, cool sound. they're one of my favorite bands, and their self titled album is in my personal top 10. saweeeeeet.

    General Comment:Mute Math is not a Christian band. They are just a band of members who are Christians.

    I actually had NO idea they were Christians, or that any of their songs were about God or Jesus until I googled them a few months after getting into them and saw them appear on a Christian website.

    I am an Atheist. But this band is so incredibly amazing. Their music is incredible, and they are so talented with their instruments and with putting it all together, that it doesn't really matter who or what they're writing about it. If they have a fanbase of Christians who can listen to the music and get something Godly out of it, then fantastic. But what I get out of it is just the beauty of the music itself, and I had always interpreted their music to being about a significant other.

    Regardless of what you believe, or who you believe in, this band is so amazing and you have to give them that. I've heard they're also really good live, and I already have my ticket for their fall tour in St. Louis! I'm so excited!

    General Comment:In my opinion this song is saying how whoever he is talking to is making him see the truth while everything around his is a mess.

    General Comment:I'm not saying I don't believe in God or people shouldn't or anything like that. I loved Earthsuit. What I'm saying is that if you ask Paul Meany if Mute Math is a Christian band, he will say no.

    General Comment:MuteMath is a Christian band, Paul Meany was in the Christian band Earthsuit prior to forming MuteMath (they have won a Dove Award, the awards by the Gospel Music Association). So I'm going to interpret it as how Jesus is always there, I like it because it is amazing music and am a firm believer in Christ. Interpret it your own way, if you dont believe in Christ interpret it your own way.

    General Comment:Behhh, Mute Math literally sued their record label because they are not a Christian band. This song is open to interpretation, really. It could be anyone, whether that's a lover, a friend, or God that the character in the song is depending on. This song is about depending on someone during times of, well, chaos, and the identity of that someone is left for the listener to decide.

    General Comment:Complications, my claim to fame
    And I cant believe theres another
    Constantly just another
    I cant avoid what I cant control
    And Im losing ground
    Still I cant stand down
    And I know, yeah I know, yeah

    I know you stay true when my world is false
    And everything around is breaking down to chaos
    I always see you when my sight is lost
    And everything around is breaking down to chaos

    Its hard to trust anyone again
    After all the letdowns Ive been through
    Haunted by what Ive been through
    Best to try while I still can breathe
    And Im screaming out
    Give me hope somehow
    And I know, yeah I know, yeah

    these are the lyrics straight form the mute math pure volume site.
