oh wow. you said exactly what I just said, but put apostrophes around the "you". And btw, you CAN be nice on the internet. There isn't a law that says "always be a dick on whatever site you enter". Plus, I'm a girl, I don't grow balls, go back to GCSE Science.
You need to read what I said. "I have nothing nice to say to you, or anyone else coming here to try and start something."
And no shit, Sherlock. I don't need to take a science class to realize women don't grow balls, but you did, obviously, because no man would touch you with a ten foot pole. Maybe you should stop taking things so literal and realize it was an expression. Go wallow in your self-pity. I noticed you took your shitty video down, too. Good job.
Nope, I don't. Now kindly grow a pair and realize this is the internet, and I have nothing nice to say to you, or anyone else coming here trying to start something.
Are people really arguing over whether this song is about Jesus Christ or not? Just to clear things up, it is. Listen to the lyrics and you'll see. If you dont' like it, don't listen to it.
Okay. this song was written with jesus in mind, but it doesn't mean you can't listen to it if you aren't christian? and you can construe it however you like. damn people haha
MY GOD! This song is so poweful! I just cant thank Jesus Christ enough for stretching his arms, suffering, and dying that I may have grace and mercy coming from the Father! AWESOME SONG! With AWESOME truths! Flyleaf did a good job with this one! The WHOLE album for that matter.
Lacey Mosley wrote this song to be interpreted as the listener will. yes, she wrote it about Jesus but she also states that she understands that people will interpret it differently. if to you it doesnt feel like its about Jesus then so be it. To those who do interpret it to be about Jesus thats fine too.
omg ok people - i know your religious and all - and i respect that- but stop shoving it down peoples throats who don't want to be religious- if you bought the cd the booklet clearly states that the song is about s girl who believed her lover was cheating on her and broke his heart, but then he gave up his life to save hers and she then understood that he really did love her and she was mistaken and regretted everything.
Right, because thumbs up by someone on youtube means you're right? I didn't realize that taking five seconds to give someone a thumbs up means they're right!
@wasabipanda haha. oh boyy, you're funny. listen, i dont wanna argue. i was just expressing my opinion! let's all get along here. its friggin youtube. haha (:
@SierraArchuleta actually the meaning of this song is about a woman's husband that went to war..... correct me if I'm wrong and if I am... you should google it
@triedge300 haha i know what you mean! i'm not saying that i'm 100% correct, it's just been my outlook on the song and the band ever since i've started listening to them. i love this band and they make amazing music, no matter what the songs are actually about. i am just a Christian, so i like to interpret the music to fit my lifestyle. which is what a lot of other people do too..
@PopPrincesses because, Americans are too afraid to admit that most of us are really exactly the same and do and like the same things. We'd rather just find creative ways to discriminate against each other and in this case, argue idiotically, about the meaning of simply, a universally awesome song, hands down.. instead of focusing on the shameful reality that we obviously came here to listen to a band we all clearly enjoy, (lets say even just this once) somewhere inside our stubborn minds.
Hold on a second. What does that have to do with Americans? Please, clarify. Don't try and justify your your statement when you "discriminate" against one nationality, please. You're doing the same thing you don't 'want' people to do.
This song itself is about Jesus but it also references to a story in the lyric book on the Momento Mori were a general in the Passerby Army (the same one from The Kind) gives his life for his beloved one which is why it makes references to his bloody arm BUT the song it about Jesus's sacrifice on the cross and how she never believed him even though he did all he could but at the end of the song she finally believes
like any artist the song is open for interpretation you could write making it about something personal but it have mean something entirely different regardless about i think its a beautiful song. Artists have been brought to court because someone took the song the wrong way, not necessarily this song but it has happened that's why people enjoy music because its open to lyrical interpretation to relate it yourself and make it unique and special. that's what music does.
tbh im sick and tired of hearing this shit arguements about is this christian or is it not i had a war with a troll about this about a month ago it annoyed me arguein is pointless it gets nobody anywhere and proves nothing just enjoy the music not dissect it
i have to agree, tht i love how flyleafs song can be interpreted in any way. i know this song is about jesus, but i just like to think of it as being about dying for someone you love instead of about God
its not about jesus!!! its about a chick unsure about a guys love, but then he dies for her! similar to jesus dying for us, but in the cd booklet!!! in the teeeny tinyyyy writing, i read it, and that is the story described...... "what if i believe you nowwww?' lol... yeah :C sad song
@ZombieTiffy Flyleaf is christian, all members of the band are professed christians. They go on a secular label so that their music will reach more people. I read the booklet too, It's pretty obvious the story is a metaphor for Lacey's own life. When Lacey was younger she had some issues (I believe she may have even experimented with drugs but I don't know that for a fact) She was unsure of Jesus, then she realized Jesus died for her and now she wants to live her life for christ.
@Drumwannabe17 that may be true, but who says all their music absolutely MUSTTT be about jesus and etc, just cuz theyre christians? all i know is that they deny being a christian band, just theyre christians in a rock band lol well i guess you can interpret it that way or whatever but it does make sense because the story mentions how she thought the dude cheated on her or whatever and shes all what if i believe you now? please come back to life DX
@ZombieTiffy It can be interpreted both ways Flyleaf is like Skillet they make music that can cater to both Christian and Secular markets but both Christians AND non christians could interpret the lyrics as christian unless your an atheist who just wants to be a bitch about all of it witch I hate....
@ZombieTiffy I think it could be interpreted as about Jesus because yes the Captain from the story died for his beloved BUT it says his arms were outstretched till he died....sounds like a certain man on the cross..... than talks about a lot about beliefs and finally at the end the girl believes which sounds like Lacey cause she struggled a lot than found salvation. Also it says I'm alive but I don't have the right he gave me the right...as a saved Christian your alive in Christ even though you
@ZombieTiffy lemme correct myself now that I checked the complete lyrics it says I believe what if I believe you now could it ever change this heart....Lacey was an Atheist for years and her life got to the point she was going to commit suicide but than found Jesus and when your saved your heart is changed and you become a new person
@SeikoNurashima O.o damn, thats so deep lol i already knew like most of what you just explained, though
flyleaf is kewl, lyrically and melody wise :D
i usually like a band for how their songs sound first, then lyrical intentions second
im not nessisarily christian right now, but i do love all of their songs and their meanings, and even if i dont agree with the lyrics i still headbang tew it :D <3
AND OMG, IS HOW HE LOVES OUT ON ITUNES YET? I JUST REMEMBERED OMG WTFBBQ BYE
@peoplealwaysleave10 agree...then how about my "meaning" Its about a guy who loves her; she's unsure if his love is true...until (what seems to me is he gave his life up for her) he dies...she realizes no other man will love her as much as he did...seems kinda sad if you ask me {love you Flyleaf}
I cry so hard when I hear this song. I'm crying right now all because it reminds me of when I was an Atheist, a life I never want to revisit. I don't know how I actually could stand myself being an anti-Christ!
@TakeABullet4Avril how did that just change? I am very curious how that works. Like i know it has to be sumthing life changing. I have talked to atheist and i always have a good argument but they walk away the same.
@redrodreesie Well, it was at that point that I began to wonder where we go when we die. Do we go someplace in the sky? Do we just lay in the ground and rot? I really began to wonder these things but I didn't make the transition of athiest to christian until the 8th grade(I'm in the 11th now.)
@TakeABullet4Avril I went through something similar. But my path was a hard one when it came to my spiritual views. I was raised baptist christian and it never felt right, the church I went to. I thought for a while that I was atheist, which kind of scared me. I'm still not christian, but i've found my path. I'm very happy with where I'm at. So, two thumbs way up to you. I'm happy you found your own way.
All You who are arguing answer me this.... Do you listen to a song becouse of its exact meaning ? No you don't You listen to them becouse you can interup them In your own way.... I bet 90% of the world have associated songs about paranoier and others thing to a relationship :S DOH! ( Ignore my English )
I see it on Flyleaf videos. Skillet videos. Fireflight videos. And I'm just wondering: HOW THE ELL DO THESE RELIGIOUS FIGHTS START UP!? GOD, ITS JUST A SONG!
People keep arguing about the religion in this song. It's obvious it's about Jesus, even if Lacey didn't mean for it to be. The lyrics are basically about Jesus on the cross, dying for our sins, giving us the right to repent. Jesus gave his life for his beloved, us humans, as he basically created us, as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are a trinity that joins into one thing, or person.
The story in the booklet doesn't necessarily mean what the song is about. It's all up to interpretation. You all need to stop arguing. Personally I believe this song is about Jesus. If you know Lacey's personal testimony you can see a connection of what this song may mean. It shouldn't be a surprise that some of their songs are about Jesus, which in this case with Circle I personally believe is about Jesus.
@wasabipanda I'm not trying to start an argument or anything!!!...Goodness....The only way it'll start another argument is when people jump and attack. By all means, that's not my intention. SO whatever.....
And yet a personal opinion can START AN ARGUMENT.
What do you think STARTED all these arguments? Either die-hard Christians or die-hard Atheists coming in here thinking they need to preach their beliefs on a youtube video.
SO UHHH why don't you reread your comment and come back when you can make an intelligent statement.
Considering this band wrote this song about Jesus to say it's not about Jesus is to be ignorant. Seriously, look it up, do some research, use google, it won't hurt you. Lacey Mosely wrote this song about Jesus.
Wether you agree with Christianity or not that does not change the fact that she wrote this song about Jesus.
Well even if they didn't mention any ounce of religion in the booklet, it doen't seperate the fact that they are all christians. I admit that they don't go into a song thinking that they need to write a christian song, but they said that anyone can't just seperate their faith from who they are. I remember that she said that the deeper side in some of her ideas also come from their faith, so this song may have been influenced by their faith.
@SuburbiaSurvivor The band also wrote a story behind this. About a girl and her husband. the was the captian of the passerby army and he loved her but she didn;t believe him. One day she was caught by the dread army and he gave up her life for her to be saved. And then she realized how much he really loved her. Then they passer by army made her captian because they thought well such a great captain gave up his life for her. She must be something special. (its on the CD)
this song has many different meanings to everyone it could be about a dead friend, a dead dog, jesus/god or whatever but we shouldnt be fighting over it, we should be enjoying this music. its special to some people. we shouldnt spoil it by fighting over it
You don't hear her prayers? To raise him up from the dead? She says in her heart no i am not worthy... Let me die intead let me be your sacrifice. but in truth... She is truely worthy of life. because her compassion and humility is her curse for the evils here that feed upon her and beat her up in spirit and in heart for her testimony and for his testimony and the guilt she feels everyday for it. What i hear is i am not worthy you are righteouss. I am not. However coming from her mouth untrue.
i agree with yuhhh and yess they are a christian band and a awesome one at that :))))) but still i feel we shouldn't debate with ppl overr if they are or not a christian because christianity is basically all abt unconditional love <<3
If you guys really don't believe that MOST of her songs ae about God and Jesus Christ, then listen to her acoustic songs. They have different lyrics and they're beautiful. As for this cd, the songs are based on something not true.. Buy the cd. Look at what the meanings of the songs are, and maybe JUST MAYBE you will understand. :D
yeah, flyleaf is a christian band, but not everything is about jesus. sure, be christian. so am i. but its reeeeeaally annoying that every flyleaf video i go on someone ends up telling people there wrong because there not christian.
your boring. seriously.
the more you say something wont make people more aware. or more christian.
I stopped replying to the arguments months back. Really I'll let everyone chatter on about what they want. I uploaded the song to enjoy the music and I'm going to do just that.
Everyone else can continue to be butt hurt and debate but I'm not going to put myself apart of it anymore.
When I heard the line "come back to my life" I truly felt the song.
I heard it so many times before, but this last time I heard that line. I would listen to the song about someone accepting Christ for the first time, but now I see that it is also about rejecting Him after accepting and then turning back to Him. Love it!!!
Flyleaf is doing exactly what God and Jesus told them to... be fishers of men. They are bringing people into the Kingdom with their music :) i wasn't really religious about 6 months ago, i always knew OF Flyleaf, but i never looked into their meaning. I'm really glad i did so now i can help other people be on the way to eternal life, which is the reason God put most of us on this Earth. I have much respect for Flyleaf, and i litterally owe my life to them :)
What the hell is it with people giving the uploader all of this crap? I've seen it on a number of her videos. It's music, chill. You don't have to be of no particular faith to like Flyleaf, or any band for that matter. Music is art.
We each have our own beliefs, don't we? Whether we're of a different religion, or we do or don't believe in God. Religious beliefs are very personal to people, and you shouldn't question them about their beliefs! Some people even change their religion because it IS a very personal, special thing to A LOT of people. Personally, I hear this beautiful song and think of all of our world's wonderful heroes who laid down their lives for us--not just Jesus and God. Stop arguing, people and LISTEN.
this is a amazing song about how christ died for all of sins. and instead of hating life or being or messing you should turn to god for forgiveness and happiness. and to all of the non believes or ones of a diffent relgion iam not trying to preech iam just stating my opinion of the the song. everyone has a right to their own beliefs
I've got an original idea! How about we just fucking sit here and listen to the damn music, apperciate real artistic music (not that Justin Beiber shit) and not give a fuck about the damn message!!!
Oh look, and atheist/Christian arugment about a Flyleaf song. How unsurprising.
Look, there is no way to prove or disprove the existence of God. It's irrelevant anyways. If you've lived a good, honest life, you have nothing to worry about: if there's a God as loving as Christians say, he's not going to send you to Hell for not calling yourself a "Christian", and if there is no God, you still lived like a good human being. Stop wasting this beautiful life we have arguing over the unknowable.
What I love most about Flyleaf is that the lyrics leave you to your imagination... No matter what your belief is, you can still relate in one way or another. I am not Christian. However, if you are... you should know it's not your job to judge what will happen to me. I will learn from my mistakes as I please.

just so you all know this song isn't based on Christianity.
it's about a women and a man in the army, the woman didn't believe the man loved her, no matter how many times he said it, and she didn't trust him. so she followed him into the army base where he worked, thinking he was cheating. the enemy of the war got the woman at gunpoint and the man stepped in and told the enemy to take his life instead of hers.
Flyleaf is christian, but this song isn't about Jesus' crucifixion.
@imyourtemptation I can see how that might be the case but it's very apparent to me that Flyleaf intended for people to interpret it as Christ's sacrifice.
Flyleaf is one of a growing group of bands that are trying to get their music onto secular radio stations. If you want to save the unbelieving, you have to put the message somewhere where they will listen to it. The only problem is that most radio stations won't play Christian songs so they have to make it sound like a regular love song.
@happyjoybells i am Christian don't get me wrong, a strict Christian, but Flyleaf isn't a Christian band, they stated that dozens of times. Their Christians that created a band, not a band based around the fact of being Christan's / Catholics. If this song was supposed to be a hidden meaning for Catholicism (?) than they wouldn't make it this obvious, i think what your saying is the opposite of what they did.
Who are we, as humans with such limited understanding, to say there isn't a creator? Just because we don't see God in our everyday so-called reality, doesn't mean He isn't real [=
Praise the Lord!!!! This song is flawlessly amazing. And these atheist discussions are futile: "A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell" - atheists merely try to prove something that doesn't need to be proved. If God proved Himself in your life, simply ignore all atheists. Let them write darkness all they want. You have the Light, what else do you need?
hey flyleaf fans, I just want to say flyleaf is one of my favorite bands, and im an atheist. I dont deny that its good music just because i believe diferantly. Flyleaf puts more passion through there music than most bands and thats y i like them. Besides, I still look at there music as, "I should be like god/jesus", because even if u dont believe in them, they are figures of love, peace, and goodness, and everyone should be like that.
oh wow. you said exactly what I just said, but put apostrophes around the "you". And btw, you CAN be nice on the internet. There isn't a law that says "always be a dick on whatever site you enter". Plus, I'm a girl, I don't grow balls, go back to GCSE Science.

@ZombieTiffy I think it could be interpreted as about Jesus because yes the Captain from the story died for his beloved BUT it says his arms were outstretched till he died....sounds like a certain man on the cross..... than talks about a lot about beliefs and finally at the end the girl believes which sounds like Lacey cause she struggled a lot than found salvation. Also it says I'm alive but I don't have the right he gave me the right...as a saved Christian your alive in Christ even though you

@ZombieTiffy lemme correct myself now that I checked the complete lyrics it says I believe what if I believe you now could it ever change this heart....Lacey was an Atheist for years and her life got to the point she was going to commit suicide but than found Jesus and when your saved your heart is changed and you become a new person

@peoplealwaysleave10 agree...then how about my "meaning" Its about a guy who loves her; she's unsure if his love is true...until (what seems to me is he gave his life up for her) he dies...she realizes no other man will love her as much as he did...seems kinda sad if you ask me {love you Flyleaf}

@TakeABullet4Avril I went through something similar. But my path was a hard one when it came to my spiritual views. I was raised baptist christian and it never felt right, the church I went to. I thought for a while that I was atheist, which kind of scared me. I'm still not christian, but i've found my path. I'm very happy with where I'm at. So, two thumbs way up to you.

People keep arguing about the religion in this song. It's obvious it's about Jesus, even if Lacey didn't mean for it to be. The lyrics are basically about Jesus on the cross, dying for our sins, giving us the right to repent. Jesus gave his life for his beloved, us humans, as he basically created us, as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are a trinity that joins into one thing, or person.
alishatheangel 1 year ago 4
The story in the booklet doesn't necessarily mean what the song is about. It's all up to interpretation. You all need to stop arguing. Personally I believe this song is about Jesus. If you know Lacey's personal testimony you can see a connection of what this song may mean. It shouldn't be a surprise that some of their songs are about Jesus, which in this case with Circle I personally believe is about Jesus.

Considering this band wrote this song about Jesus to say it's not about Jesus is to be ignorant. Seriously, look it up, do some research, use google, it won't hurt you. Lacey Mosely wrote this song about Jesus.
Wether you agree with Christianity or not that does not change the fact that she wrote this song about Jesus.
SuburbiaSurvivor 1 year ago 35
@SuburbiaSurvivor
Too bad this song wasn't written about Jesus.
Look at the booklet that came with the album. Just because they are Christians does not mean every song is about Christianity.
Direct quote from Lacey:
"These troops were so thankful that we were there and that they could just enjoy life for a minute. That's exactly what MEMENTO MORI means."
Not an ounce of religion or Christianity is mentioned. Please link me to a source stating it's about Jesus, or gtfo.
wasabipanda 1 year ago
@wasabipanda That quote doesn't even mention the song "Circle". This song has a dual meaning anyway. It has to do with soldiers and Jesus.
SuburbiaSurvivor 1 year ago 3
@wasabipanda
Well even if they didn't mention any ounce of religion in the booklet, it doen't seperate the fact that they are all christians. I admit that they don't go into a song thinking that they need to write a christian song, but they said that anyone can't just seperate their faith from who they are. I remember that she said that the deeper side in some of her ideas also come from their faith, so this song may have been influenced by their faith.
cloudhatake 1 year ago
@SuburbiaSurvivor The band also wrote a story behind this. About a girl and her husband. the was the captian of the passerby army and he loved her but she didn;t believe him. One day she was caught by the dread army and he gave up her life for her to be saved. And then she realized how much he really loved her. Then they passer by army made her captian because they thought well such a great captain gave up his life for her. She must be something special. (its on the CD)

You don't hear her prayers? To raise him up from the dead? She says in her heart no i am not worthy... Let me die intead let me be your sacrifice. but in truth... She is truely worthy of life. because her compassion and humility is her curse for the evils here that feed upon her and beat her up in spirit and in heart for her testimony and for his testimony and the guilt she feels everyday for it. What i hear is i am not worthy you are righteouss. I am not. However coming from her mouth untrue.

I'm really glad i did so now i can help other people be on the way to eternal life, which is the reason God put most of us on this Earth.

We each have our own beliefs, don't we? Whether we're of a different religion, or we do or don't believe in God. Religious beliefs are very personal to people, and you shouldn't question them about their beliefs! Some people even change their religion because it IS a very personal, special thing to A LOT of people. Personally, I hear this beautiful song and think of all of our world's wonderful heroes who laid down their lives for us--not just Jesus and God. Stop arguing, people and LISTEN.

Oh look, and atheist/Christian arugment about a Flyleaf song. How unsurprising.
Look, there is no way to prove or disprove the existence of God. It's irrelevant anyways. If you've lived a good, honest life, you have nothing to worry about: if there's a God as loving as Christians say, he's not going to send you to Hell for not calling yourself a "Christian", and if there is no God, you still lived like a good human being. Stop wasting this beautiful life we have arguing over the unknowable.

just so you all know this song isn't based on Christianity.
it's about a women and a man in the army, the woman didn't believe the man loved her, no matter how many times he said it, and she didn't trust him. so she followed him into the army base where he worked, thinking he was cheating. the enemy of the war got the woman at gunpoint and the man stepped in and told the enemy to take his life instead of hers.
Flyleaf is christian, but this song isn't about Jesus' crucifixion.
amazing. ♥
imyourtemptation 1 year ago
@imyourtemptation I can see how that might be the case but it's very apparent to me that Flyleaf intended for people to interpret it as Christ's sacrifice.
Flyleaf is one of a growing group of bands that are trying to get their music onto secular radio stations. If you want to save the unbelieving, you have to put the message somewhere where they will listen to it. The only problem is that most radio stations won't play Christian songs so they have to make it sound like a regular love song.
happyjoybells 1 year ago
@happyjoybells i am Christian don't get me wrong, a strict Christian, but Flyleaf isn't a Christian band, they stated that dozens of times. Their Christians that created a band, not a band based around the fact of being Christan's / Catholics. If this song was supposed to be a hidden meaning for Catholicism (?) than they wouldn't make it this obvious, i think what your saying is the opposite of what they did.

If God proved Himself in your life, simply ignore all atheists. Let them write darkness all they want. You have the Light, what else do you need?

hey flyleaf fans, I just want to say flyleaf is one of my favorite bands, and im an atheist. I dont deny that its good music just because i believe diferantly. Flyleaf puts more passion through there music than most bands and thats y i like them. Besides, I still look at there music as, "I should be like god/jesus", because even if u dont believe in them, they are figures of love, peace, and goodness, and everyone should be like that.
