When ppl comment on my art on DA you kno wat i say, 'its not my talent, its the talent god gave to me...' Becouse b4 flyleaf i was annother one of those nonbelivers thinking they have life by the reins
This is why Lacey is the best singer. Because she didnt take the credit for her beautiful voice, unlike other singers who might think they have a perfect voice and its all theirs. Well like Lacey said, its not theirs... its God's.
This is making me think about how so many people glum over me because I'm pretty or so they say or because I'm such a great singer like they say...but its not me. Not because I was born this way. God blessed me with my talents in music, art, and working with horses. He's the one who made me "pretty". All the credit goes to Him.
TheBatmanSmells has been posting those kind of comments on every flyleaf related video so it's obvious they are just posting stuff like that because they have no life and we are all better off ignoring them
@TheBatmanSmells stop being such a hypocrite why the hell did you watch it then? flyleaf is amazing NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR OPINION! oh.. and btw your username sucks!
@TheBatmanSmells Why the heck are you so negative with alot of Flyleaf songs? All they're doing is expressing how they feel and what they've been through, leave them alone.
we really don't deserve anything that God gives us, because we choose to betray Him every day when we go against Him. Thankyou God, for giving me all of the great things that I don't deserve every day.
@Shaestel im an athiest too. i still listen to the songs that dnt specifically talk about god. most of flyleaf's songs can be interpreted in different ways. this one as well
i just have to say that Lacey is spot on... God is the one who gave her the talent she has and the credit needs to go to him... and because of Him giving Lacey her amazing gift i have been inspired to write my own story... at first i was giving the credit to Flyleaf because their songs triggered the story to take shape but now i think about it and God is the one to be thanked for He is the one that has given all of us our gifts... it is time for us all to start giving credit where credit is due.
Personally, I think it's about her songwriting/performing talents. She didn't write her songs, God did, she just wrote down what He told her... She didn't make herself talented, God did, and He's using her to spread His word. Then again, I may be wrong, but that's what I got out of it. :D
in my version, this song is mostly about a girl and boy who hate each other really much but then start to like each other because something happened one day. They don't want to like each other, and they think they don't deserve to like the person at all. They don't want to be with the person they want to be with other people but God is forcing them to be together and the boy and girl doesn't like that. does anyone has something better?!!!
@videogamesinginggirl yes. i think that this song is about Lacey, (the woman who sings all of the Flyleaf songs), i think that she is trying to say that God created her with her talents and people need to praise God and not her for her singing. in the song, it even says, " .... But I don't have anything good enough to say. I did not make myself this way. I'll show you what He did, but I won't take the credit. It's not mine anyway. I just held the pen that day...."
I ask that anyone who considers yourself an athiest and is deeply touched by this in your heart to ask yourself WHY you are deeply touched, could it be that your spirit knows the truth in spite of your intellect and Longs for Gods Love? God isn't the cruel taskmaster the world makes Him out to be. He wants to be Loved just as you do.

But Lacey, of course you deserve this. You are amazing, and passionate, with such an inspiring devotion for God. You may have been told by Him to show us your beautiful messages in your songs, but you yourself deserve to have credit.. God wants you to be all you can be, and if you can be an amazing singer with amazing lyrics- be it! I love you all, btw.
"I'll show you what He did, but I won't wake the credit. It's not mine anyway, I just held the pen that day" She's def. giving credit to God there for her songs(: Glory to God <3
@fma3040 i really hate apple, none of flyleaf's old passerby stuff is on itunes, but something to look forward to is there new EP Remember to Live, which comes out on the seventh. On there official website they say that it will have some old tunes re-recorded that Paserby fans will recognize.
Lacey is an amazing singer.! This song just shows that she doesn't really care about the credit of her songs.. She cares about the messages.. I love this band.!! : )<3
yeah these slow songs arent doin it for me, i onlky like their heavy stuff, and before you say anything about you dont know the meaning, let me say i dont give a damn about the meaning of a song, only that it sounds good
@kingrutoz DO YOU KNOW HOW IGNORANT AND SHALLOW YOU SOUND RIGHT NOW?!! How can you sit there and say you don't care about the meaning? That is probably the most meaningful song that flyleaf has written... Music isn't only about how it sounds it is the message behind the lyrics. If you can honostly say you don't like this song because it is slow ( and you prefer thier faster songs)... and not even think about the meaning.... you have NO good taste in music!!!
@PebblesMD19 That's not true. Just because a person doesn't understand or really listen to the lyrics doesn't make them ignorant or shallow. Some people just listen to music for the beat behind the lyrics.
@Armstrong014 I understand that they have a taste in music.. and respect that, i just think it is silly to just dislike a song because of how it sounds.
music is all about the sound, that is why lady Gaga, justin beaver, hannah montana/miley cyrus and all those aother stupid bands (sorry if i sepped on anyones toes) are so popular, but this song is great in sound, and even more so in meaning.
I am with you, just pointing a few things out, hope i didint come off rude.
Flyleaf is awesome, same with demonhunter, falling up, brave saint saturn, breaking benjamin, rise against, first 4 cds of switchfoot, so on...
@PebblesMD19 Ignorant and shallow? I don't even understand the meaning of most songs, I like the beat/guitar solos/singers voices... Just because I don't understand what the hell is going on or even care to find out, doesn't give you the right to call people names. I like Flyleaf, even if I don't understand the song, she has a good voice. People sing songs all day long without knowing the meaning, no one cares to stop and ask... what did I just sing?
@Krimsonix I kinda agree with you and her... But to say you don't like or disagree with a song just based on the sound is kind of silly to me, too. people should stop and actually think about the meanings of songs, it can make you appreciate the song A LOT more if you do that. And yeah... calling that person ignorant and/or shallow cuz they only care about the meaning wasn't really called for.
@Krimsonix I DO & ALWAYS HAVE!?! (care to stop and ask... what did I just sing?) But, admittedly/sadly, I am a RARE example of human...who actually cares what message I am hearing/singing! You are fully @ liberty to mindlessly enjoy songs, with little/no regard for the meaning/message of the lyrics, like the majority of the masses do)! God & I love U regardless! :) But, you would benefit more from Flyleaf's songs if U did take the effort to think about the meaning of the lyrics. Just sayin. :)
I have written a couple Christian songs and written love poems and her quote "and all the art that I supposedly create is simply a reflection of something He's already made." I've realized that's so true since He spoke of those situations first and watched them happen first hand and made the nature and emotions I revealed in my poems. I LOVE YOU GOD!!!
Don't any of you belive in fiction? She could make-up a character! It's not lk everything she says has to be about her and god!!! Im not going to bring in my religion becuz I thik utube fights r stupid, but I'm just sayin tht u shud open up to the world of FICTION!!!!!!!! Who gives if she wrote it? Not lk shes so self centered tht she wrote it about her and god! It's not even directly related to god! Does she say, GOD HELPED ME FIND MY WAY, in the song? NOPE!!!! Sry for bein mean, just da truth
@hahahaGals yoi just started a youtube fight you know. and have you ever heard of reading between the lines. I don't know what people are doing when they go to school these days. it is called symbolism
I have an EXTREME belief about "God" I do believe that there are things higher, greater, and by far stronger than us, but I also belive that we are in no way it's center of attention. We are jsut a few billion sould in a big rock in a small part of everything. Why would something with so much power care ONLY for us? Yes we matter to it or them or him or whatever, but so does everything else. On a moral level, we won't end the world by sinning, and we won't save it by being gratious.
If anyone has heard of the Law of Atraction, otherwise known as "The Secrtet" then you probably know what i mean and where I am coming from. I don't mean to bash down anyone, or say they are lying. I also have a complicated beliefe that almsot everything we believe (within reason) is real. So keep still in your beliefs, and I will stay in mine. Again, I'm not saying anyone is wronge.
Okay I see that I have a lot of people flaming me. I have to say that I'm not an antheist, I am Lutherin Christian, but I also think about science. I never said I didn't believe in God, I just said that Lacey had these ideas all on her own.
@telephonepaparazzi - Lacey and Pat write most of them I think. Sameer also writes a few: I know Have We Lost? is definately his. Jared and James don't but I'm sure they have an input into the songs.
@telephonepaparazzi She writes some, and the other guys write some, and they write some together - BEAUTIFUL! Go team! GO GOD (as per the theme/lyrics of this FL song)!!!
@DarkBladeofLyoko Dude, how can I 'ruin' this RAD song by simply pointing out what it's actually about & helping you understand what Lacey is saying to you/us?!
He made her, you & me for a purpose - embrace him & embrace your purpose in life! :)
@wonbytheson I'd hate to tell you, but we all are made by two sex cells that joined and made a single cell which multiplied many times over and over. See, I look at the logical part of life, and see things for what they really are. Sorry if you cannot.
@DarkBladeofLyoko Yeah, obviously, but Lacey & I believe what the bible says that God designed our individual personalities before we were formed in the womb, and he implimented his specifics of the cell multipication to ensure that the outcome was according to his design for you! God know you before you were born - dude, that's the MEANING of Flyleaf's name!?! I can 'see things for what they really are', but I also look beyond to where they came/come from spiritually! God is the source of life!
@wonbytheson Personalities are formed not only by biological standards but also by the enviroment we lived on. "God" or whatever didn't form anything. We are all just hairless monkeys. The sorce of life is the Sun, cells, the six kingdoms (Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, Fungi, Plants, and Animals) and because of millions of different atoms only. Noone knew me before I was born.
@DarkBladeofLyoko Listening to Penholder again, I must say, this song is ALL ABOUT HIM (like most FL songs are!), and he is ALL ABOUT YOU! He LOVES YOU to death!!! FEEL it dude! Not everything is logical - some things must be felt! One day you will understand. I also remind you that Lacey & I both spent about 2 decades of our lives being atheists, like you seem to be, and we have chosen to move on & let our Creator love-on us & lead us through life. Listen to any of her interviews/testimonies!
@DarkBladeofLyoko Your a real idiot. You think your some scientist that all high and mighty who only sits on his ass all day and says stupid shit. God is real, it was proven to me too many times. If your going to be ignorant, and stupid like that, when you feel a falling feeling when you die and wake up in a pit of fire, your going to be having a strong, pure, voice telling you: THEY told you so.
@DarkBladeofLyoko Alas, Lacey & I disagree with you & that's what this song is ALL ABOUT!...it's all about Lacey giving God all the glory that we believe he deserve! If U don't agree, that's up to you, but THAT IS WHAT THIS SONG IS SAYING! :)
God did design the whole ovari/sperm/womb gig & he also designed the sun as a source of heat/energy & cells & the 6 kingdoms! :) O PRAISE HIM! O, & he actually DID KNOW U B4 U WERE BORN & HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH, despite your denial of his existance! :)
@DarkBladeofLyoko Hey, I think the most appropriate way to respond to your arguments is via Flyleaf's 'Breathe Today'...youtube.com/watch?v=Rold5OPbddg
@DarkBladeofLyoko dude but how did the cells and atoms form then ill give you the answer god made them and he let us evole to what we are now i wish he didnt let somethings evole how the are now but he loves us and you know were we go when die to heavan or hell most go to heavan you just dont sit and rot in the ground and never see light again
@EvoRandom you can prove god is there and im linkinpark43100 i jus wanted a new account im not mad for what you said we all have different beliefs the reason why nuttin to good is happening becuz he is testing our sanity and right now its bout to break maybe the end of our world will come to a end because of us and hard evidence well the only evidence tht u can prove when that one police officer died but came back to life wit his 10 min vision of god and you just got to believe no hard feelings
@paramoreflyleaf4567 ok let me get this straight... ur telling me that the evidence that 'god' exists is the fact that a lot of us are going through hardships now... are you referring to natural disasters? economic crisis and all that? Thats the proof that god exists? he is "testing" us? ... i've been thinking for a while but cant give a good reply to you for that... except that with the police... ummm... he wants to make a name for himself? HEADLINE IN NEWS!!! MAN HAS VISION OF GOD!!! = fame..
@paramoreflyleaf4567 and to continue... the police man would probably get a week of fame... some questions about god... and why would it work? because you can speculate about god: he could say... "i saw a bright light and then a gentle voice told me I would survive it was so soothing, incredible..." etc etc. and then all the priests bishops and cardinals would come and see him and praise him for his visions saying he is a stepping stone to god... thats what he is aiming for... fame
I think it may have a little to do with her perpetuation of the word... and how she is not the originator but a conduit. Friggin' awesome song! I love Flyleaf!
It's not just writing good songs. It means that what ever she does, it's not because it's her. It's because God destined her to help people. So instead of thanking her, they should thank God.
the many times that this "he" character is referenced would suggest that she's talking about God, seeing as they are a self-proclaimed Christian band.
I think this song is about how Lacey doesn't think she deserves the credit for writing her songs or music. She's saying that her music is inspired by God, and he deserves the glory for it's creation.
this song is just wow like the words she saying you could really hear that she doesn't want the credit for what god chose her to write..... truely an amazing song.

Lacey is an amazing singer.! This song just shows that she doesn't really care about the credit of her songs.. She cares about the messages.. I love this band.!! : )<3

yeah these slow songs arent doin it for me, i onlky like their heavy stuff, and before you say anything about you dont know the meaning, let me say i dont give a damn about the meaning of a song, only that it sounds good

@kingrutoz DO YOU KNOW HOW IGNORANT AND SHALLOW YOU SOUND RIGHT NOW?!! How can you sit there and say you don't care about the meaning? That is probably the most meaningful song that flyleaf has written... Music isn't only about how it sounds it is the message behind the lyrics. If you can honostly say you don't like this song because it is slow ( and you prefer thier faster songs)... and not even think about the meaning.... you have NO good taste in music!!!

@pcrvg0808 yeah but it ties the two together. I mean lyrics and music by themselves can have a different translation being read of sung or heard.

@PebblesMD19 That's not true. Just because a person doesn't understand or really listen to the lyrics doesn't make them ignorant or shallow. Some people just listen to music for the beat behind the lyrics.
MrsTwilightAddict18 1 year ago
@PebblesMD19 I dont like slow music to much, but this song is awesome, but if you are not a christian then i see how you would not like it.
But taste of music is their taste in music, but im with you, this song rocks.
Armstrong014 9 months ago
@Armstrong014 I understand that they have a taste in music.. and respect that, i just think it is silly to just dislike a song because of how it sounds.
PebblesMD19 9 months ago
@PebblesMD19 I agree and disagree.
music is all about the sound, that is why lady Gaga, justin beaver, hannah montana/miley cyrus and all those aother stupid bands (sorry if i sepped on anyones toes) are so popular, but this song is great in sound, and even more so in meaning.
I am with you, just pointing a few things out, hope i didint come off rude.
Flyleaf is awesome, same with demonhunter, falling up, brave saint saturn, breaking benjamin, rise against, first 4 cds of switchfoot, so on...
Armstrong014 9 months ago
@PebblesMD19 Ignorant and shallow? I don't even understand the meaning of most songs, I like the beat/guitar solos/singers voices... Just because I don't understand what the hell is going on or even care to find out, doesn't give you the right to call people names. I like Flyleaf, even if I don't understand the song, she has a good voice. People sing songs all day long without knowing the meaning, no one cares to stop and ask... what did I just sing?
Krimsonix 9 months ago
@Krimsonix I kinda agree with you and her... But to say you don't like or disagree with a song just based on the sound is kind of silly to me, too. people should stop and actually think about the meanings of songs, it can make you appreciate the song A LOT more if you do that. And yeah... calling that person ignorant and/or shallow cuz they only care about the meaning wasn't really called for.
MusicAddict909 9 months ago
@Krimsonix I DO & ALWAYS HAVE!?! (care to stop and ask... what did I just sing?) But, admittedly/sadly, I am a RARE example of human...who actually cares what message I am hearing/singing! You are fully @ liberty to mindlessly enjoy songs, with little/no regard for the meaning/message of the lyrics, like the majority of the masses do)! God & I love U regardless! :) But, you would benefit more from Flyleaf's songs if U did take the effort to think about the meaning of the lyrics. Just sayin. :)

I have written a couple Christian songs and written love poems and her quote "and all the art that I supposedly create is simply a reflection of something He's already made." I've realized that's so true since He spoke of those situations first and watched them happen first hand and made the nature and emotions I revealed in my poems. I LOVE YOU GOD!!!

I have an EXTREME belief about "God" I do believe that there are things higher, greater, and by far stronger than us, but I also belive that we are in no way it's center of attention. We are jsut a few billion sould in a big rock in a small part of everything. Why would something with so much power care ONLY for us? Yes we matter to it or them or him or whatever, but so does everything else. On a moral level, we won't end the world by sinning, and we won't save it by being gratious.

If anyone has heard of the Law of Atraction, otherwise known as "The Secrtet" then you probably know what i mean and where I am coming from. I don't mean to bash down anyone, or say they are lying.

wonbytheson 1 year ago
@wonbytheson I'd hate to tell you, but we all are made by two sex cells that joined and made a single cell which multiplied many times over and over. See, I look at the logical part of life, and see things for what they really are. Sorry if you cannot.
DarkBladeofLyoko 1 year ago
@DarkBladeofLyoko Yeah, obviously, but Lacey & I believe what the bible says that God designed our individual personalities before we were formed in the womb, and he implimented his specifics of the cell multipication to ensure that the outcome was according to his design for you! God know you before you were born - dude, that's the MEANING of Flyleaf's name!?! I can 'see things for what they really are', but I also look beyond to where they came/come from spiritually! God is the source of life!
wonbytheson 1 year ago
@wonbytheson Personalities are formed not only by biological standards but also by the enviroment we lived on. "God" or whatever didn't form anything. We are all just hairless monkeys. The sorce of life is the Sun, cells, the six kingdoms (Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, Fungi, Plants, and Animals) and because of millions of different atoms only. Noone knew me before I was born.
DarkBladeofLyoko 1 year ago
@DarkBladeofLyoko Listening to Penholder again, I must say, this song is ALL ABOUT HIM (like most FL songs are!), and he is ALL ABOUT YOU! He LOVES YOU to death!!! FEEL it dude! Not everything is logical - some things must be felt! One day you will understand. I also remind you that Lacey & I both spent about 2 decades of our lives being atheists, like you seem to be, and we have chosen to move on & let our Creator love-on us & lead us through life. Listen to any of her interviews/testimonies!
wonbytheson 1 year ago
@DarkBladeofLyoko Your a real idiot. You think your some scientist that all high and mighty who only sits on his ass all day and says stupid shit. God is real, it was proven to me too many times. If your going to be ignorant, and stupid like that, when you feel a falling feeling when you die and wake up in a pit of fire, your going to be having a strong, pure, voice telling you: THEY told you so.

@DarkBladeofLyoko Alas, Lacey & I disagree with you & that's what this song is ALL ABOUT!...it's all about Lacey giving God all the glory that we believe he deserve! If U don't agree, that's up to you, but THAT IS WHAT THIS SONG IS SAYING! :)
God did design the whole ovari/sperm/womb gig & he also designed the sun as a source of heat/energy & cells & the 6 kingdoms! :) O PRAISE HIM! O, & he actually DID KNOW U B4 U WERE BORN & HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH, despite your denial of his existance! :)

@DarkBladeofLyoko dude but how did the cells and atoms form then ill give you the answer god made them and he let us evole to what we are now i wish he didnt let somethings evole how the are now but he loves us and you know were we go when die to heavan or hell most go to heavan you just dont sit and rot in the ground and never see light again

@EvoRandom you can prove god is there and im linkinpark43100 i jus wanted a new account im not mad for what you said we all have different beliefs the reason why nuttin to good is happening becuz he is testing our sanity and right now its bout to break maybe the end of our world will come to a end because of us and hard evidence well the only evidence tht u can prove when that one police officer died but came back to life wit his 10 min vision of god and you just got to believe no hard feelings
paramoreflyleaf4567 1 year ago
@paramoreflyleaf4567 ok let me get this straight... ur telling me that the evidence that 'god' exists is the fact that a lot of us are going through hardships now... are you referring to natural disasters? economic crisis and all that? Thats the proof that god exists? he is "testing" us? ... i've been thinking for a while but cant give a good reply to you for that... except that with the police... ummm... he wants to make a name for himself? HEADLINE IN NEWS!!! MAN HAS VISION OF GOD!!! = fame..
EvoRandom 1 year ago
@paramoreflyleaf4567 and to continue... the police man would probably get a week of fame... some questions about god... and why would it work? because you can speculate about god: he could say... "i saw a bright light and then a gentle voice told me I would survive it was so soothing, incredible..." etc etc. and then all the priests bishops and cardinals would come and see him and praise him for his visions saying he is a stepping stone to god... thats what he is aiming for... fame
