Blindside is one Swedish rock band whose ship may have just
arrived. At least in America, anyway. With two memorable
indie releases under their belt, the scorching foursome
have signed with Elektra in the U.S., and have been busily
putting the finishing touches on their American debut –
Silence - produced by Howard Benson (P.O.D.). Despite the
title, Blindside’s much-anticipated disk is anything but
silent. Marked by brilliant, flaring guitars that
complement an almost mystical vocal presence, the group has
carved out a rock masterpiece in a series of stunning, but
simple strokes. The appeal of such immediacy was not lost
on producer Benson. “I met them through P.O.D.,” says
Howard. “They were blown away by how talented they were.”
Sonny, of P.O.D., indeed heaps a More...
I knew it was Blindside ? :/
Maybe it's because I listen to them all the time along with Billy Talent. They're both very good, but their voices are nothing alike :P
Whoever told any of you it was BT needs to learn music a little bit more ^^
This song makes me break down in tears. Just from reading it even.
Its talking about a person losing God, and finding him again. like my favorite line of all time "there you were, holding me, waiting for me to notice You"
Its amazing because he's still searching for 'an open arm' and in the process getting hurt. he wants acceptance. comfort. love. and the same things keep happening.
He runs to God.. but only too soon falls away again. Such is the heart of a human.
This song also speaks of forgiveness, and that there's always hope. We wash our wounds with tears of hope. There's always hope.
Blindside, a truly Christian band.

Good Song, Not best | Reviewer: Jimmy
------ About the song About A Burning Fire performed by Blindside
I prefer their early works. A Christian band, it'd be easy to figure out what these lyrics mean. The forgetful nature of mankind. "Love is destructive for the ego.
And Your voice is the only thing
that speaks rebelliously in this world of claiming your own. "

Yamkela, the meaning of the song | Reviewer: Ephraim
------ About the song Yamkela performed by Blindside
The vocalist of Blindside went on a missions trip to Africa, of which he encountered a boy, named Yamkela. This boy was stricken with AIDS, the deadly immunodeficiency virus. The boy was told he would live no longer than 2 months. (two months tops, before silence replaces your small beating drum) Christian (vocalist of Blindside) knew the boy as a friend, and after he left to return to America, the boy died. Later, Christian wrote Yamkela, the song as a tribute to the boy he met on his missions trip.
"Wasted, disposable dying scum...
...isn't that what we're waiting for,
so we can go on and celebrate good life,"
This section of the lyrics from Yamkela state that the wealthy and fortunate parts of the world see people like the boy Yamkela as just wasted and worthless. "so we can go on and celebrate good life," This section states that we are careless for those in these kinds of places, facing disease and famine, homelessness and misery. We simply enjoy our good life, and most of us do nothing about what others are facing.
"...but I feel,
gun powder, burning under my skin
don't say another word,
you might set off a spark,"
This section of the lyrics, starting with "but I feel, gun powder, burning under my skin," means that Christian feels the pain and misery that the boy Yamkela was experiencing, and felt sympathy for him, which is why he, I am assuming, led the boy to loving the Lord. I am also assuming that Christian asked what being stricken with AIDS feels like, and Yamkela responded with, 'gun powder, burning under my skin.' I am also assuming that "don't say another word, you might set off a spark," was from the risk from even speaking with people that Yamkela must have had, knowing he might catch a cold from them, and set off the spark of his disease.
I am not sure what the rest of the song means, as in verse two, of which "take me back to TV land, numbness is a safe zone, never trained me for reality, I'm the reality TV clone," however I am attempting to deconstruct the song more to find its true meaning.
Thanks for reading, and remember what kind of effect Blindside intended their music to have.

------ About the song About A Burning Fire performed by Blindside
this song will proboubly never die.
Blindside has some CD's that are mostly secular.. or you cant tell its about God, but this one is streight from the passion of Christ. Its so hard core in that This IS who they are the passion and the drive.. it makes me want to change something ya know?.. maybe you dont..

as I recall when my stomach turned
and I was hiding away from myself
away from you
like nothing THOUGH something was terribly wrong
and I admit that I was only waiting for the right time (NIGHT time)
right moment for you to look away
though you never did I pretended for a while
so I could walk where I don't belong

------ About the song Swallow performed by Blindside
It is one thing to accept the truth of Jesus and God, for the demons also believe. To know the truth, and to live the truth are two very different things. And don't just think knowing the truth will get you very far. For a thirsty man may believe in water, but until he embraces it and drinks from it, he will surely die.
