Creed Lyrics

    ------ About the song Faceless Man performed by Creed

the title of the song says it all: I think when they (tremonti and stapp) wrote this song it was personal, I believe that the schedule and demand of the rock band lifestyle got to them and they literally spent a day with nature to purge all the distractions of the world and to feel the Holy Spirit and to be still and know that God is in control. then as he looks on the water and sees he realizes that without God he wont make it home but with him he will make it home. this song is about being accountable to God and having the courage to admit it and to ask the Lord to come back into your heart and never go away... there are some biblical references in the lyrics and the part I love most about this song and album is all throughout Creed is talking about taking action as a Christian, not just talking about it, but doing it; I know this: if the devil cant get you with sin, he will keep u busy, and I believe Mark and Scott were writing about not having God enough in their heart and wanted to make sure to have an identity with God and not to be a Faceless Man. I love the way the album is arranged, the order of the songs were intentional, and I see the same with the band Alterbridge... if you haven't heard of them definitely check them out!

    ------ About the song One performed by Creed

this song has helped me through lifes bitter challenges. i feel that the message is trying to promote only one way to ensure you will never suffer again and there is only one way to ensure that you will be spiritualy righteous enough on judgment day. the emotions that overflow in this piece of music is what impoverished and hopeless people feel. angry and helpless.......

    ------ About the song My Own Prison performed by Creed

This song is about self evaluation... Realizing what you done is the cause of your own grief... You Reap What you Sow... God willing, he will bring you out of it, but you have to humble yourself and accept that you were wrong...

    ------ About the song One performed by Creed

I know this review is quite late, but better late than never. I have to say that even though your view on the lyrics is a bit insightful, you are wrong. The song may seem negative, but in all it is asking for everyone to stand together a "one" and end the discrimination. You are obviously reading into the words the wrong way, but people have their own opinions all around.

    ------ About the song Say I performed by Creed

yes, they mean god when they say maker and a lot of people believe that that is the truth. God has gone away from us when man sinned. I think they're talking about satan too. if you look at the world, i could believe that god has abandoned us because he lets half of the idiots in this world stay alive. i know better. i really can see how good this song is.

    ------ About the song Faceless Man performed by Creed

This song is awesome!
I really like it no matter how you look at it.
It's a pretty deep song and I think it can relate to just about anybody. And the reason why I think that is because its a song about relationship. Guys, what I'm about to interpret in the words of this song is just my view of them everytime I hear them. So It may or it may not bring new light or meaning
to the song, but in any case I don't think you'll stop listening to it anyway.
Firstly:
I spent a day by the river (the river of life, "Jesus Christ")
It was quiet and the wind stood still (Christ brings peace and
rest)
I spent some time with nature (God's creations)
To remind me of all that's real (Proof of God's divine power
and existence)
It's funny how scilence speaks sometimes when your alone (temptations of the world without the presence of Christ)
And remember that you feel (your human, you will feel pain in a world destined to decay)
Again I stand, Lord I stand (again pursuing, admitting to the Lord, (Jesus), taking on faith)
Against the faceless man (the defeated ruler of the world who is the cause of all deceit and temptation, Satan)
Now I saw a face on the water (seeing the face of Jesus. Note: the bible is known to be like a mirror to the believer, it convicts the sinner and reflecting the image of Christ, thus he may be using 'water' as the 'Bible' and also possibly looking into the water reflecting the image of who he should be.)
It looked humble and willing to fight (humbleness: a huge portrail of Jesus' earthly ministry, 'willing to fight': the fight of Christian faith, hope and most importantly love)
I saw the will of a warrior (the determination of Christ, his hope for the survival of his people)
His yoke is easy and his burden is light (a direct passage from the Bible itself referring to faith and salvation)
He looked me right in the eyes
Direct and concise to remind me
To always do what's right
(the penetrating gaze and power of the lord as he is able to gaze into our hearts, 'eyes', and convict us, 'remind us', through the Holy Spirit, to walk in the way of righteousness)
'Cause if the face inside can't see the light (referring to the one who reside within you: Either the evil one, who does not see the light and will always abandon you or the Holy Spirit (Christ), who recognizes the light and will never abandon you)
I know I'll have to walk alone (in this case he refers to the evil one)
And if I walk alone to the other side (as in after death, 'other side')
I know I might not make it home (admitting his awareness that if the Holy Spirit is not present within him he will not enter the gate to the Kingdom of Heaven, 'home')
Next time I see this face (the tempter, the abandoner, the false hope)
I'll say I choose to live for always (chooses eternal life through Christ)
So won't you come inside and never go away (the acceptance of Christ in his life as savior, to make his home in and dwell forever within until the end of age, 'second coming')

And there it is, thanks for reading guys, God Bless.

    ------ About the song My Own Prison performed by Creed

this is definitely my favorite ever creed song. i remember when i was homeless on the street losing my sanity. my sister found me, demanded i come home after hugging me for five minutes, and my father and i apologized to each other. i was 22 and had runaway five years earlier. later that night this song camew on and completely explained my state of mind during those five years. i am happy to say that me and my husband have been married for 10 years and we adopted a son named derek and i couldnt be happier. those who wonder, i am a gay man and my fathers reaction to my outing was my irrational reason for running away. oh well, pencils have erasers, do they not?

    ------ About the song Weathered performed by Creed

This is an awesome which I can really relate to, especially after all I have been through in recent years. At times I do feel like giving up because I have been "rusted and weathered" by the hardships in my life. But I love the last verse to this song. "believe what you will, that is your right, but I choose to win, I choose to fight!". That right there solidifies the fire I have in my soul to keep on burning and keep on fighting... Even though I'm rusted and weathered.

    ------ About the song Stand Here With Me performed by Creed

This was just a good song i got it for a assignment for school and i had to listen to it, but now i can't stop listening to it. To me this song means thathe has loved and always wants to love and shes has done so much for him and he wants to repay her but if you put that in the christian way it is us singing to the lord and wanting to repay him for all that he has done for us.
