Switchfoot - Meant To Live

[derekwowblancas]

this song has so much meaning, i feel exactly like what this song says. When i was a kid i had such big dreams, but as i got older, reality kicked in and i saw my myself blend in to everyone else. Just a dot in the middle of a million other dots.

Now i just sit and watch my life pass me by.

[believeinurself100]

this song is such a good song. I love it. It put me in tears the first time i heard it :')

[Silentstoons]

Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open, maybe were bent and broken.. It's true..

[gerritfun]

Good song

[MarianCarter12]

i feel old when i listen to this song. =/

but i lovez it anyway!

[sushinibbler]

The song freaking rocks no matter what your faith is, Christian, Atheist, whatever. The song is badass, and the content doesn't change based on faiths. It applies to everyone.

[KYSNB]

@sushinibbler That's cause the message comes from the Illuminati.

[Silentstoons]

@KYSNB The songs obviously anti-Illuminati, and about humanity's true goal, of seeking personal enlightenment in order to arise to the higher plane (kingdom of heaven) They've always been against ppl other then themselves gaining enlightenment which is why they strive so hard to keep our minds weak.

[KYSNB]

@Silentstoons You have no idea what you just said. You proved my statement by arguing with me cuz. The REAL Illuminati's true goal is for everyone to become personally enlightened so we can all have a more prosperous, complete, and eternal life. They actually strive to open our minds and weaken the government leadership, the highest members anyway. You shouldn't believe everything youtube videos say about them. I mean after all if they're that powerful how would we know anything about them?

[whateverisright48]

The great thing about Switchfoot's songs is that they mean different things to different people. I, personally, see it from a Christian's perspective, but that's not the only way it can be seen. This means a lot of people can enjoy it, no?

[711Kayla]

I do not beleive in god and I listen to this song alot. It helps me alot when I am at my worst. It explains alot of how I feel. "We were meant to live for so much more!"

[ironpsyko]

most amazing song ever..makes me feel like i can do anything

[calyluvcali]

i like this song im glad it has more meaning then god stuff. sorry but this song is better then some stupid religious song.

[crowofdeath2]

calyluvcali...this song is all about God like alot of there other music

[VampLavni]

For me this song isn't taken like a religous song even though it is one. I suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder and some of lyrics help me see hope from my Disorder. I have it on my positive playlist( something I listen to when I'm at my worst) It helps.

[crowofdeath2]

good to hear i understand how hard it can be and its good that you found a way to help yourself but not every one can be helped by a song so thay need God

[MADDOG6400]

Such good times! I remembered I was 11 when this song came out! I also remembered watching the music video on MTV!

I'm getting goosebumps just listening to it!! ^_^

[HelloDrBob]

holy crap, me too lol and I just now found out Switchfoot was a christian band, but I think this song is about living to your potential or something lol :D

[Th3HondaGuy]

@HelloDrBob Well, they aren't labeled as a Christian band, they aren't outright preaching, but their Christian faith is definitely apparent in the meaning behind their music. This makes it very easy to listen to for anyone :D

[Trojanoid1]

This song is pretty much about ppl who die or get injured, "were meant to live for so much more". This can also apply to ppl who do something stupid and dont no wat theyre really doing.

[LORDMETALMAN]

This music brings me back so much good memories.

[shakeandbake982]

yeah it was theyre a christian band.

[imaluvJesus]

yeah dudes, i was at a concert this summer and they kept talking about how Jesus is the answer for this broken world. =)

[ttaminodnis1]

i dont think is was meant to be religous but if u do i mean what ever gives u the shits and giggles

[AndreasDornerfan]

its just illegal to not listen to it!!!!!!!

[tacojonesdaddy]

Indeed!

[tina33159]

praise god they are doing something good 4 our lord who forgive us from our sins godbless everyone

[jsaf7]

[tdawgg96]

[DLJackass14]

[tristin183]

[wilson0o76]

[akumamenra]

[racqueljoy]

its not homosexual you idiot.

at least they can make a song.

so shut your blab.

[aegisfate117]

and famous people are always right?

TITS OR GTFO BITCH

[iDinoChan]

No they are not always right but so what? Its not a homosexual song! You are just being really mean!

[CulturePeaceForever]

i think of it like renunciation...

[brendanoconn]

drummer looks like the singer for F.O.B

[HotCadbury]

switchfoot is like one of the best to me.. hardly anyone could beat their lyrics.. listening to switchfoot just makes me feel so better.. "dare you to move" is very special to me..

[turtlegrl252]

I think the world has alot to offer. The way it offers it I think is what eveyone wishes they could change.

[StormPixi]

<3 luve this song <3

[MyownCreep]

I heard this tonight and I was like " wtf , I haven't heard this song in two fucking years" The radio never plays it ...I forgot all about it .

I love this song.

[goodgirl4evr]

this song is amazing. it never fails to hit me hard!

[Dragonfly335]

this song is the best song in the world! LOVE YOU SWITCHFOOT!

[Zuccitchi]

Uplifting for me but not in religious way for me. I have a disorder that run my life for a while. This inspired me to fight it and defeat it.

[crazybob121593]

Tis is an AWESOME song and thats reallly cool that you are doing that because of this song. : )

[stevensbubba95]

this song is da shizznit

[silvercow16]

Wanting to be more isn't a solely Christian feeling

i'm atheist but love this band and this song!

this is probably the first song in english I actually listened too

and I mean really listened to, and even now years later i can still get into this song.

[TOPOFTHEMORNIN2U]

Just wondering what you think about when they sing "We want more than this worlds got to offer"

[PSNkillsLIVE]

maybe it means were all greedy pricks lol jk jk i love this band

[TideofWar420]

probably the fact that this world is set up with rules and people dont really have freedom at all (even though the government likes to say that we do). The fact that everyone shouldn't be able to own anything in this world because everyone was born on this world at a certain period and what gives them the right to say that they own it...This will nvr change n people will always "own" things but still it shouldnt be that way.

[stealthstoat]

They're Christians and they're referring to being not of this world. They believe that God is going to make a new world without sin or problems for his followers, and they're looking ahead to it.

[iamihop11]

Actually I think they're saying quite the opposite here. In the beautiful letdown, yes, that's about belonging to a world other than this one. But I think this song isn't about the future - it's about right now. It's a challenge to make something of our lives now, not sit around waiting for God to perfect it. God may provide the window, but people can usher in and live in the kingdom of God right now. The thing is, we're IN this world; we'd make it a better place if we started acting like it.

[sw0oshy]

They want what God has to offer with eternal life

[EMOxHEARTSxRxBROKEN]

the bassist has ubber long arms fool.

ubber smexxy

[PutItInYourJuiceBox]

They're even better live :D

[imsinglegrls]

[pulipulasion]

this song makes me feel like im nto on earth

[MrCDW]

Amazingly AMAZING

[MaReBSC]

[brianlmeigs]

[sagu4]

[thayut333]

I'm learning this song on my guitar and its sorda hard but sound AWESOME!!!

Lovin this music, Rock On Switchfoot!

[CRISTHAL21]

awesum wish i could learn it too

[hashamhk]

no dought has to be one of the greatest rock song

[petalnose]

awsome

[careehallucinate]

Um wtf is wrong with you, I know it's a good song. I clearly said "This is so old. but it's still great." TIME LENGTH It is, but i know its an amazing song. Chill bitch

[arthurdragon17]

i am chilled

its only 8 degrees celsius in my room:S

sry:D

[careehallucinate]

this song is so old, but it's still great.

[marylov]

i hate it when ppl say "this song is so old" u say it like it's lost its goodness and stuff. a good song will just and always be a good song like a gold beautiful when made, valuable in the end.

[arthurdragon17]

look at it this way:

a diamond is formed in thousands of years and so, but many people would still kill for it

so old things are valuable:D

the same with money from 1354 A.D

[yahookisser]

that was a very sexy song it should have 5 stars.I could take you dare bitch.I am better because i have hot girls in my lamborgini

[ricky55655]

really on this song, there should be a rate " off the charts!!!!" cuz really thats what this song is!

[choirdork22]

This song is so strong. Who can't relate to this? really.

[Ears14U]

The only people that can't relate to this song are God's non-elect. The song just caught a lot of the metal loving audience.

[personofworld]

THIS IS SUCH A HEAD BANNGERR!! (^^)Y

[Jennipje]

LoveLoveLovee! <'3

[bobmark1]

i love the guitars on this song

[kiwitwistwlemon]

me 2

[beattk]

ok this is gay beacuse my history teacher is a majpr christion and so am i, and he gets in troubles for playing christion songs

[bumpypickel44]

chrition is spelt christian but great message they should allow christianity in all schools

[cooipooi]

there is a reason they dont allow religious any thing at public schools and its because there r all types of religious people that go to those schools and they might b offended by it or they might be obligated 2 listen or their teach will do something but hey, im not one of those people

[AnthroKixsie]

yay best ever!

[BigT0008]

what are you talkin about? its way better...

[HillOfHeavin]

the best song by them in my opinion

[LionLB]

this is a christian band if u listen u can see how religious it is and if u dont know that many religious stuff u may not get it

[sirpip6969]

damn..... you just ruined it for me...

[iheartseizures]

Just because it's christian doesn't mean it's bad. Christians can have a christian take on the song, whilst non-believers can enjoy it for what it's worth. It doesn't matter if your religious or not, the song can have quite a deep impact on a person.

[stealdream]

Wow...this whole time i have liked Switchfoot and never knew that they were a Christian band. Now that i know......I STILL love the band. Doesn't matter what they are. will always love this song.

[arthurdragon17]

yup:D

lets hope that god is happy:D

[frodaddy2394]

usually, I hate rock music, all of it, I'm strictly rap hip hop and R&B, but when I heard this song I was like daaamn, that aint bad and for some reason I love it, jus cause of what its trying to say, the meaning it has

[jdsayssup]

the coolest song EVER!!!!

[alikyrsti101]

i am totally in love with this song!!EVERY1 THAT LIKES THIS SONG U ROCK

[CobaSan]

[Epiphone314]

[osseochiks]

[SnizzleDaHairo]

our EVERLASTING PERFECT GOT ROCKS...JESUS

[McNelly92]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[DazeWolf]

Aha, I never knew this was a religious song (which is odd, considering the lyrics). I guess I just loved the refrain so much. (: Although I don't believe in a perfect, everlasting God, I can still appreciate this one for the moral and spiritual frustration it impresses. It always makes me cry. (:

[SwichfootNewsboys]

GOD bless Swichfoot

[Vayne707]

the song is kick ass but the vid confuses me wat is the vid about anywayz?

[Charmed2themaxs]

its about people leading ordinary lives. get up, go to school, go home, do homework, go to sleep, then start it all over again. they're saying "we were ment to live for so much more". God has a plan for everyone and everything, and we were ment to fulfill it. "we want more than this world has to offer". have you or anyone else ever felt that something in life is missing? God wants to fill the "gap" where the missing peice is. thats why we were born! isnt it amazing that someone would die for us?

[animemangaluv13]

haha, me too!

[whaler3232]

We were meant to live for much more...and I know what it is.

[ggacapitt1311]

i like this song but the lead singer kinda sounds gay
