guys you guys wtf is this. you are missing the true meaning of the song. i come back 2months from seeing this vid and theres a fight think about what your gonna say BEFORE you say it and stop fighting
i understand what you mean. but their music is so secular sounding, i can easily pretend that they're not singing about religion. Don't stop listening to them if you enjoy their music just because you have issues with their beliefs.
You guys need GOD, we are not here to fight about this or that.. i mean hear the music and enjoy, dont waste your time fighting with blind and deaf people.. ask GOD for wisdom.. thats what we need to understand all those things.. of course they deserve to be paid for their talent.. they are great.. if you dont want to paid... then dont hear them.. just go and search another thing to hear. ;)
@trav12433 well i mean i used to agree but the bible actually does speak of getting paid for your labors. If you're using your talents for the benefit of God and others then it's fine. When you're putting all of your time into this then you don't exactly have time to make a living any other way...they need to live too...
maybe a donation can then.... it's hard to hold something up and say "This was inspired by God, but you have to pay to get it". -- of course i'm listening for free on you-tube. I don't mind if these guys make a buck or several bucks--- they do have to eat, etc.
this song totally reminds me of Proverbs 12:18! "Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing." The power of God's word can repair what we've destroyed with our words.
This song spoke to me today.. I really need to control my anger towards my terrible housemate. I'll bite my tongue and share his love instead of showing hate.. Thanks Relient K, Thanks God..
i just wanted to say how nice it is to see a page of only nice, cheerful comments. i get so sick of seeing all these debates and rude comments, so this is really nice. :)
@pac31kers I agree completely! It is so refreshing to see people listening to good music, and saying nice things about it! I think this is the way YouTube was intended to be to begin with...
relient k has become my thoughts.. their songs playing in my head non-stop.. more than 100 relient k songs like a playlist playing even when i'm asleep.. relient k = my life :)
i am the same way!!! =D their songs have the greatest message ever! and the lyrics always go through my head, and sometimes i find myself singing out loud and no knowing it =) they are THE GREATEST band ever!!!!! God bless =)
omg i love dis song like i heard an understand d meaning of the sayin bite my tounge i knew wat it means like since i was 10 an i neva listened 2 it bt i heard dis song like 2weeks ago an listin 2 dis i wanna change now well dat part at least lol
ya just because theyre a christian band, it doesnt mean that all their songs have to be serious or god related nessesarily. they can be as funny, weird, and awesome as they want!!! THESE GUYS ROCK <3
God has told us in His Word (what we know as The Bible) not to be hurtful in our speech, and thus to control our tongues. That is the relation in this particular case. Relient K does have a few songs that I know of which do not have a real "Christian" connection.
lol i know what u mean i heard this song and come right out and say it and automatically related (sad but still kinda funny) *its getting better tho*;)
Nice thinking, however, that is not what this video is stating.
Its about how he tends to lash out with his words: i.e. "I can conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick"
This song pretty closely relates to James 3:1-9 in that he feels that his tongue is the hardest thing for him to tame, and that for the most part it would be better for him to just "bite my tongue."
I love the power in the phrase "keep quiet, listen to your voice, cause the power of your words can repair all I destroy."
this song so tells the true...i always listen to this song before i go and talk to someone cuz if i dont ill say something to them that ill reget later...come on im not the only one right? anybody hello anybody? who understands me? i know im not alone....
maybe all of you should keep quiet quiet, and only open your mouths to bite your tounges. :P stop talking religious shit cause no one wants to hear it if its bad.
i know, when i do that as i write my papers, sometimes as i go back over them later the phrases from the songs pop up in my report... very awkward, lol!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok, reading these comments makes me think...what are people on, cause i need to get me some. i mean, theres all these messages about god and shit and if you ask me, i don't see ANYTHING that even mentions god. at all. seriously. its mor of someone saying that they have trouble thinking before they talk. obviously these people have never met someone who has trouble with social norms and thus have no social tact whatsoever and tend to stumble over their words and say the wrong things.
This song is about how what we say can really hurt people, and how when we let God inspire our words instead only good can result. And Reliant K definately lets God inspire their words (as well as their lyrics!)
You shouldn't go around calling people retards. This is a christian band , so on some level it does have to do with God and our relationship with him. What I fell this song is talking about is how we speak to other people.
my favorite part of this song is the beginning guitar riff...it's pretty sick >:D
