Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Surrounded (page 1/1) ------ performed by As I Lay Dying Home | Reviewer: Defendant | 2/10/09 The song is influenced by strong Christian overtones. Take me home -Christians often use the phrase "I'm just a pilgrim passing through on the way to home" (referring to the "passing through" as the world) (Heaven is the eternal resting place, our true home) Imitations surround me -The world is fake, mortal, it will not last. You are all I want to see So why do I turn To embrace what will never last All my life I've tried All my life I've failed -Father, you are all that matters, you're all I care about really, but yet I turn away from you, I am bound by the shackles of this world in my body. I have tried to love the world, I have failed, you are the only thing that matters. And one day I will see Surrounded on every side -One day I will be in your omnipresent embrace, My eyes will be opened, and my shackles will be released. I will be surrounded by my home and my father. Add Your New Review About The Song
