Heard this song for the first time a couple of days ago. I can relate. I was once in the same mindset. Its devastating to believe something with every fiber of your being and then to suddenly lose faith. You feel true despair and become lost, wandering. However, if you are lucky enough to come out on the other side you have an even deeper sense of your faith. I feel for him. I also admire him for making the song. Music should make you feel something and I like when an artist puts that kind of passion into a project. Too often it seems we are afraid to show that we dont have things all figured out and heaven forbid we outwardly question God. I think we do each other a disservice when we cant speak openly about our struggles and convictions. Let others complain that the age is wicked; my complaint is that it is paltry; for it lacks passion. Mens thoughts are thin and flimsy like lace, they are themselves pitiable like the lacemakers. The thoughts of their hearts are too paltry to be sinful. For a worm it might be regarded as a sin to harbor such thoughts, but not for a being made in the image of God. Their lusts are dull and sluggish, their passions sleepy...This is the reason my soul always turns back to the Old Testament and to Shakespeare. I feel that those who speak there are at least human beings: they hate, they love, they murder their enemies, and curse their descendants throughout all generations, they sin. ~ Soren Kierkegaard *Explicit Lyrics*
