Trying to put a universal spin on very personal feelings and beliefs is at the core of great songwriting. Relient K is a potent young band that has captured those elusive elements on its brilliant Gotee Records debut. The four members hail from Canton, Ohio ("the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame!" Thiessen is quick to add). "Until a few years ago," says Matt Hoopes, "[we] didn't really have any musical aspirations. We wanted to learn guitar to be in the youth worship band. We were all really into punk growing up, and we still are. When we started out, we wanted to have pop punk songs, but without the speedy and somewhat monotonous beat that is sometimes associated with punk music. Most importantly, we wanted to make sure we had strong melodies and harmonies More... (Submit New Relient K Lyrics) (Submit New Relient K Lyrics) Review about Relient K Cute Song! | Reviewer: Yoshi ------ About the song Maintain Consciousness performed by Relient K "Maintain Consciousness" is a short, upbeat, catchy song that always gets my toes tapping. Many people (including myself) can relate to it, and the lyrics have just the right amount of witticism without being overly (but maybe a little) cheesy. Another cute Relient k song. (: Brilliant song | Reviewer: Harrison ------ About the song Failure To Excommunicate performed by Relient K There's no way to describe this song really, other than brilliant. The music is powerful, but subtle when it needs to be- a perfect compliment to the moving and heart-felt lyrics. Definitely one of Relient K's best, and that's saying a lot considering how awesome they are! wth? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song My Girlfriend performed by Relient K lol this song jus reminded me of why i honestly dislike christian rock bands..marylin manson is not satanic and he does NOT look ood..and zologod wat the hell makes you able to decied who some one is coz of how they look? its just another typical example of how narrow minded and hypocritical christians can be.. but i like this song.. and i honestly (no sarcasm) like relient k..they are one of th VERY few christian rock bands that are in it for the ryt reasons.. keep rockin Schweet.... and Vivian: | Reviewer: Josh ------ About the song Up And Up performed by Relient K This song could be both. Relient K and Hawk Nelson write a lot of love songs...... and I know I feel like this with the one I love...... I did't mess up with her, but she is my best friend and knows EVERYTHING about me. Moreso, she accepted me. When no one else, even my mom, would except for God. She makes me feel like I WANT to be better for her, not that I NEED to be. Everything ive ever known | Reviewer: hiden ------ About the song When I Go Down performed by Relient K i love this song so much. it explains everything about my life. this song just reminds me to keep strong because God is looking out for me. keep up the good work boys. love you heaps. come to australia! Sad Memories | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Who I Am Hates Who I've Been performed by Relient K My boyfriend and I broke up yesterday. All I can think of is this song. He told me I changed. I would do anything to change back and get a second chance. He said I had a second chance but I ruined it. I'm sorry baby that I put you through so much stuff and you put up with it. Truth behind these words | Reviewer: Aaron ------ About the song Over Thinking (Acoustic) performed by Relient K This songs means a lot to me. It's just how I am, I over analyze and overcomplicate when I could be simply happy. And the path learning to be happy and seeing your happiness right in front of you pass you by. It's hard but you have to learn not to try so hard, or you'll be left alone in the dark... zologold | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song My Girlfriend performed by Relient K this song is actually not that bad. However stephanie your obviosly not a christian and whoever says manson is not satanic just take a look at him. You can't see him and tell me he's not satanic. If he ain't satanic what is he? Stupid's the only other word i can think for him. christian song? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Faking My Own Suicide performed by Relient K Just because relient k is christian and writes song about God doesnt mean every song is about God. Why would he say "You say aloud that you Would've been my wife" That has nothing to do with God or Jesus. However, at the same time this song isn't literal at all. Its just the thought that people get that you feel others take you for granted. Once they think you have died they'll realize that they really do love you. Relient K is a Christian band but you dont need to take every single song and say its about God because its not. It's about God, but through good ol' rock and roll... LOVE IT! | Reviewer: anomynous ------ About the song I So Hate Consequences performed by Relient K Great song but guys, to summarize the song, it's all about people screwing up all the time, and when they need to get a break from all of it, God is waiting for them, with love and forgiveness. Not about drugs, not about someone's mom, but GOD! Want proof? Check Relient K's home page, they'll say on at least one page they are for God with their music! WOW jillian | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Need You performed by Relient K WOw!! I so relate to this song right now b/c i have not been doin my thing with god and i just keep doin it over agan.I hate it bc im disobaying god in so many ways. The wierd thing is that last night for the first time i had a dream about him and i saw his light an his face but he disappeared and i was devastated.I really do need him an i want to change but its just hard and I can't do it without him. This just makes me cry...Guys keep on doing what youru doing and do it for the Lord and always give the glory to him. Love ya Fantastic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Deathbed performed by Relient K I've listened to this song nonstop for weeks now! I love Relient K. and this song has such a wonderful meaning to it. I LOVE THIS SONG!! I cry when I listen to the song. The first time that I heard it, I wasn't paying attention to what the lyrics were actually saying, but when I listened to it again, I couldn't stop crying. WoW!! This is just such a powerful song! Great job Relient K. Praise be to God!!! GOD BLESS! Mmmhmm | Reviewer: Casey ------ About the song Let It All Out performed by Relient K Every word is so true. We have to find the strength to stand up for what we have done, and confess. Even if it mean breaking hearts, for if we dont, it will just get worse. For us, for our loved ones and especially our relationship with god. I used to be such a strong christian, and i can only read my old poetry and diary entries with envy in my heart. My stupid actions have torn me apart. Just Be Happy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forgiven performed by Relient K I'm not gonna judge anyone right now, that's not my job. I just want to say that Jesus loves everyone no matter what and wants to be close to you. I mean come on, he suffered death itself just for you. We will always be in debt to that but hey, accepting him as your savior is the best thing you can ever do. ^_^ Seriously come on!!! its a Christian band guys! | Reviewer: <3 ------ About the song Faking My Own Suicide performed by Relient K Reliant K is completely a Christian band. they rock! ive seen them in concert. (rock the universe 2008). this song is about God. but ppl can relate on different levels.. relationships with freinds family or gf or bf. thats why its such a good song. they write them so they have many different meaning. Pressing On and Must Have Done Something Right are songs that you can also relate to in many different ways. They talk about love but yet in a Godly Christian way. perfect .. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forgiven performed by Relient K love the way the melody turns all bright and almost festive and celebrating at the line 'cause we're all guilty of the same things' and 'and i know that i have been forgiven'. the two facts are truths that really set a grim heart free.. Get it all out | Reviewer: Amanda ------ About the song Let It All Out performed by Relient K Well I have alot to say about this song because it brings so much hope to me. Recently I have had a rough patch in my walk with Christ and it was difficult because I didn't realize it untill I was desprite. I got upset and I pretty much told God that I was doing everything I could and I got mad and turned on my Ipod..it was on shuffle and up comes this song. I was suddenly overwhelmingly convicted. I hadn't been "letting it all out" I didn't know it but God reminded me of a part of my life that I had tried to hide and the insecurities I felt and he let me know that in order for true healing to ever come I had to "let it all out" the part that says "don't be alarmed when the wound begins to bleed" it was tough on me because I had been doing everything I could to not let it bleed but again in order for healing to come you have to let it bleed...and it stands true in my life right now God had to break my heart in order for him to find myself on my knees like he calls his children to do. and in the end though I had to let go of everything and though it will cause pain because not only did I have to give the things to God but I have to deal with them now his way and that is painful but "the end will justify the pain it takes to get us there" this song is an amazing song for someone who is broken and brings so much hope letting you know it won't always be this way. we have to be weak and broken before we can become strong in Christ... well that is what this song shared to me and I also agree with all of the reviews I have read before mine and I think it is awesome that God can let us get different things out of this song depending on what we need at that moment...I hope that this brings hope to anyone who can relate to me..let the wound bleed so that there will be healing! "seriously" | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forgiven performed by Relient K Wow guys... Just wow.... I'm not going to get too deep in this conversation but I'm a musician myself who has played a venue along with Relient K and if anyone in this discussion that doesn't seem to think the original process of writing this song wasn't inspired by their life as Christians all you need to do is listen to the rest of their discography. Every album is laden with Christian Gospel from start to finish including this one and this song. This song isn't just "Christian" but flat out biblical seeing as the Bible's teaching includes that we are all "damned" and we are all "guilty of the same things". Although I would never call them a "Christian Band" because I consider them better than that because they get that all music is supposed to have a message that is real and relevant where most bands in the genre just play music that sounds good and add the word Jesus (I feel my own band did this at one point)... And to the person who earlier said Relient K didn't use the name "Jesus" in their songs, you are wrong. They even do on this album a few times. Listen to more of their music... This along with all songs they write, aside from "Crayons Can Melt on Us for All I Care" (lol) and a couple of other goofy fun songs ("Mood Rings", etc.) are from a specifically Christian focus... But we are ALL welcome to take from music whatever we can.... If what they take is positive although it isn't truly "Christian" then that is their right as a person. And at the same time I also think it is a person's right to pray for whoever they think needs it (we all need it in my opinion) but at the same time, too often us Christians use our own faith on purpose to offend someone by saying to them "I will be praying for you". I don't do that because I am deeply convicted by it but I know those who do. Who said we needed to tell EMily we are going to pray for her? God will work in her life if He wants to either way. HE IS GOD you know? Let's all just start expecting God to be God and do what He does without us fighting with others about their beliefs. We got to learn that we earn the right to talk to someone about their belief or disbelief in God. Not force our will on them. In all fairness I was heading straight to Hell before I was "Forgiven" . So we can't be rude to others about stuff that we are just as bad about due to our sin nature that according to the Bible (we have all fallen short of the glory of God) we all have to deal with on a day to day and second to second basis.... Haha, this is soo stupid. | Reviewer: Mitch ------ About the song My Girlfriend performed by Relient K I think we should get all you emotional little girls to wear mood rings. Wait... Haha! Give it up, one song does not define a band, nor does a band define one song. They've grown up, moved on, and are writing WAY better stuff now. QFT: "the lyrics in this song sound like they were written by a carefully supervised youth group of 11-14 year olds" Wow. Really? | Reviewer: Kellie ------ About the song Forgiven performed by Relient K This song is saying not to point the blame on someone else before you look at yourself, and here you people are damning one another. Call it ironic, I think it's moronic. Listen to the music, read the lyrics, comment on them, or comment on something uplifting. seriously :) Read the lyrics!
