Reflections...

from a twentysomething Aussie kid

Thrice are such a rad band, whats even radder is their lyrical content!
such deep and well thought out lyrics with the majority having some sort of spiritual element ... not bad for a band who aren't actually labelled a "christian band". Its good having music that isn't about getting smashed, sleeping around, drug use or other crap! ... check em out! would love to hear your thoughts on the below lyrics, I like discussion :)

Image of the invisible - Thrice

We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can't allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible

[Chorus:]
We all were lost now we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we'll never walk alone

We're more than static and dial tone
We are the image of the invisible
We're emblematic of the unknown
We are the image of the invisible
So raise the banner, bend back your bows
We are the image of the invisible
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
We are the image of the invisible

[Chorus]

Though all the world may hate us, we are named
The shadow overtake us, we are known

We're more than carbon and chemicals
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can't allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible

[Chorus x2]

Raise up the banner, bend back your bows
Remove the cancer, take back your souls

Even though you like discussion. I don't have a lot to say....

I think the words are very powerful, these lines particularly stood out to me

"We're more than carbon and chemicals
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible"

Pretty darn good.

I have lots of links on my blog that I check when I post a blog. I used to use google reader though but now I just click on the links.

To be honest very few people blog these days. It's sad :(
