[HolyCrapmuffinzz]

We read "Of Mice and Men" in English class and my English teacher made a connection to this song and brought it back to me <3

[Wippydipp]

[gracierainlove]

.theres.nothing.that.can.ruin.­how.much.i.love.this.song.

[Acelynn54]

OMG I just LOVE the guitar in this song!!

[iwannahugxD]

maybe we're bent and broken? pshh screw that we are bent and broken... or does that only apply to me?

[xJadeIrisx]

NOTE: I'm writing this comment before listening to the entire song. I stopped at 0:11. Just wanted to say that I know this song is going to be awesome just by hearing that guitar introduction..

Also, just by that introduction, I'm thinking about starting a rock/pop band sometime in the futrure.

Again... just by the first 11 seconds.

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

Nice song, they're talented. Religion is interesting. Peace and happiness to you all.

[twillyisweirdlooking]

sorry i meant -3

[twillyisweirdlooking]

[93Sheck09Love11]

60 people have been living with their eyes half open and are bent and broken...someone HELP THEM!

[Nomad1718]

The sad part is, it probably applies to the world more now than when it did in 2004.

[awaitingmemories]

WE WERE MEANT TO LIVE FOR SO MUCH MORE!

[DON'T] lose yourself!

[Pareod375]

@Izzesz Don't cut simple as that, you think you've got problems? Look around you. Instead of pitying yourself, help others. Then they'll help you and you'll have accomplished something great. Trust me, I've been where you are. (:

[xXNiNjATriiXx]

@XxARTISTofWARxX rap does suck shit...............it has taken most of the music industry and look at our economy right now.....its shit because all those songs brainwashing peoples minds into money...so listen to other stuff than rap

[harristhesecondcomin]

[ncnate99]

We were Meant To Live......

[KISB16]

1 of the best song ever

[LindseySuson]

I feel like Switchfoot's music can be interpreted about 50 different ways.

[gloinstrong]

@LindseySuson Alright. Congratz. I know that Switchfoot's music is meant 1 way. Read any website about them and it becomes obvious who they are writing about;

[LindseySuson]

@gloinstrong I know what they are about, not denying it..I'm just saying that there are many different ways to look at their songs.

I wasn't meaning to insult or offend anyone.

[iivellios]

@LindseySuson It's the internet, you can't say anything without offending someone.

[thekarlitatv]

Peoples go to my channel.. Im putting the new songs of switchfoot.. I will give you the songs that I put for free... I will send you the song to your e-mail.. Soo go and check.. I dont do this kause I want to send a virus or something crazy. Soo go and check.. I speak spanish and english.. :)

[whattadoofy]

Amazingly AMAZING!!!!!!!

[ZuesaBishop]

I used to steal my brother's cd and listen to this.

[polarbearslovemusic]

@ZuesaBishop lol i used to sit outside of my brothers door and listen to it from the hallway whenever he was playing it. i woud've gone in since we were tight then but it smelled like something had died in there lol

[kayamichelle52]

This song has gotten me through so much... <3

[zdawg02]

wow did some retard say illuminate?

first off its "illuminati"

and two just wow no.

[polarbearslovemusic]

@zdawg02 its rude to say retard. wanna know why? becuz retard is what people call people with mental disablities. and retard means stupid. my cousin has autisim, and he is not stupid. in fact, he's an honor student at his high school. so that's why its rude to say retard. you should say stupid instead, its nicer.

in a way.

[XxJeremyTxX]

Man I miss this song :') One of the first rock songs i heard when i was kid, my friend showed me it.:)

[KieronstarboyD1]

[mikeyere69]

Thumbs up if your thumbs are aching cause of all the thumbs up comments?

[aaron555444333]

I didn't know this song was by Switchfoot until like yesterday. When I heard that, I was like LOLWUT

[Omnilegence]

This song epitomises the quote: "Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung" ~ Voltaire.

You'll notice that if you take away all the massively impressive drums and guitars and just pay attention to the lyrics, then the song suddenly says very little indeed.

All that is expressed is the stand-alone opinion that "we were meant to live for so much more", no justification, no suggestions on alternative ways of living, no solutions. I would go so far as to suggest the lyrics are cliché.

[mordsith97]

@Omnilegence its all how you look at it you can also see it as to aim for something higher than what you have right now

[basssamueri64]

this was the first switchfoot song i listened to and im glad i liked it because i like all there songs :)
