Hit the wall
Scream out loud
As you start to crawl
Back in your cage
The only place where
They will leave you alone
Until they've broken them
Could you get it back again
Would it be the same
At your expense
Left you with no defense
They tore it down
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
Where you feel sheltered
Where you feel safe
You lost yourself
In your search to find
Something else to hide behind
Did they see the consequence
When they pushed you around
The arrogant build kingdoms
Made of the different ones
Breaking them 'til they've become
Just another crown
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
Can't be weak, can't stand still
You watch your back, 'cause no one will
They had to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars
For your only company
Don't believe the lies that they told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright, you're alright,
You're alright
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
As you, I've felt the same
this song is simon, a biblical character that helped jesus carry the cross, singing about when jesus was carrying the cross to be crucified. when he says "i have felt the same" he means that he had to carry the cross, when he says "Scream out loud As you start to crawl" he is talking about when jesus fell and practically called out to him before he helped him, and when he says "Fulfillment to their lack of strength" he talks about how the pursecuted Jesus because they where afraid. i could go on but the list is way to long. if you know the part of the bible i am talking about then this will make sense.
I am interesting. Can you continue tell me about that part of bible or send me an email at anki_dao@yahoo.com. I would appreciate that. Cheers, Ha

Sorry to burst your bubble but this song is not about the simon in the bible. It's about a friend that Jason had a while back.
I don't reckon it's the biblical Simon, or Jason's friend Simon. I think the Simon of the Song is Simon Cowell; it describes how he belittles people, destroys thir dreams and generally preys on their insecurities.
The whole 'I have felt the same' refers to the fact that Jason and Lifehouse have been at the struggling musician just breaking out stage.
this is the song that made me buy NNF. I heard HBAM d/led this song and fell in luv with LH. This song describes everything Ive gone through these past 3 yrs. Everytime i hear it i wanna cry. Jason wrote this song perfectly. I think everyone can relate to this song no matter wut there status is at school...
I just love this lines: 'Cause the weak will seek the weaker Until they've broken them Could you get it back again Would it be the same
Fulfillment to their lack of strength At your expense Left you with no defense They tore it down "
It made me feel better about myself.
Wow, this song is really great, I can't even express the emotional impact it has on people. Although it is about Jesus, taking into your own views- it's really inspiring. This has got to be my favorite song of all time.
i just love this song. the lyrics are powerful, and meaningful, and no matter who it is about, i can relate to it. it feels wonderful to see/hear your feelings are someone elses.. you dont feel so alone.
im sure your good friends with jason and would know right ponch. how about you quit acting like a wack senile columbo and just listen to the song and there is no way that it could possibly be any closer to the story of simon in the bible.
where is it in the bible? just curious :)
lots of love, melissa
If you look at all of Jason's songs.. all of them are religiously based. You just have to look at them from that point of view. Its a great song.
