Advent - Intro lyrics

rate me

I can’t seem to answer all these questions in My Mind is running overtime

to figure out This Life so full of anguish without all the death we see. I

see, I hear you, but it’s so hard to believe. God, where are we now? Can

you hear us through those clouds? When the rain is beating down? Our hopes

and dreams never left the ground. Nothing’s being done for your daughters

or your sons. Everything just stays the same. So they tell me Nothing’s

your name. Do we believe in Nothing? (Nothing? Nothing? Nothing? Nothing?

Nothing?) Scream at the sky! I scream at the sky! Into the big nothing,

begging to hear something. Into the big nothing, begging to hear... Scream

at the sky. As I close my eyes to sleep, I decide I still believe.

Song Explanation by vocalist Joe Musten:

"I basically wrote this song late one night when I was feeling frustrated

with the world and where it seems to be headed. You know, I obviously

believe in God, but sometimes it’s hard to see Him in this world. Rape,

suicide, murder and betrayal are our newscasters’ favorite topics. It’s

what people want to see. We are attracted to death. It’s disheartening to

watch the news. People are addicted to being sick and being prescribed

their cure." A bleak picture, for sure. For Musten, this mild depression is

incapable of finding lasting root in his worldview. "I guess all can say is

that this world is broke," Musten admits. "We are out of currency, we are

out of answers and we are out of reasons to push on. But amongst all the

darkness I still feel like there is hope. I still believe in The Unseen.

Hope is real, I guess we all just gotta find it ourselves."
