Hi Guys I have the real meaning to this song because I've talked to band about their music.
I'll go ahead and make sure this post has a large box size so everyone can see it.
First of all I haven't read all of the posts so if anyone has already posted this then... well I'm just agreeing with you.
Second, for those that dont know already, Flyleaf is a Christian Heavy Rock Band, so pretty much all of the songs they make contain somewhat religious content.
The sickness that she talking about is the sickness within her heart, and.
Like my all time favorite band, Skillet, Flyleaf often has songs about Satan, sin, and selfness, which is briefly living for yourself and not for god. If you want an example of songs with Satan, i'd listen to "Open Wounds by Skillet". For sin and selfness, listen to "Monster" by Skillet.
Between those three, this song would fall under the category of Satan and selfness. I know this can hard to understand so I looked for other christian songs that could better describe what "the sickness of Satan and Self" really is.
these are the best songs that I found.
D.C. Talk: In The Light - Great Song! good for this.
Mercy Me: So Long Self - Another good example for self
Skillet: It's Not Me It's You - Perfect for this! Its about how Satan and sin has poisoned him and caused so much pain in his life.
It's defiantly easier to understand from a christian view but i promise you this is the song meaning.
while I'm not sure exactly every bit ad word meaning, I know the intent of the song cuz they said it at their concert at my church.
OK, so here's my personal break down, again, its not perfect, but it works with the overall song intent.
"I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break"
(this is the sickness of Satan, Satan gives us bad thoughts and desires, we know that they are wrong, but if are hearts are not strong enough, then they break through and we submit to them.)
"I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick"
(this pretty easy to understand, the part "where I live" I think is a metaphor for where he heart is.)
"If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears"
(this is Satan again. Hes saying to stop fighting him and give in to his will on her heart, by threatening her with the pain she feels.
" Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now"
"Hear it! I'm screaming it!
You tremble at this sound"
(She is now screaming NO! to Satan and fighting him. In the bible it said that the one thing Satan fears most is God so i think shes screaming for God, knowing that Satan will back off.)
"You sink into my clothes
And this invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick"
(By now you can probably understand the content here. I think clothes are a metaphor for "outer skin" or the way people now see her.
The invasion are the multiple struggles in her life that Satan is using to make her depressed and now feels "Worthless, hopeless, sick")
so that's it, my interpretation. please feel free to comment and god bless.
No. They've expressed many times that they are not a christian band. They all are of christian faith, they were signed to a christian label, and some of their songs are about religion, but not all of them.
