This is what I wrote today in Seminary, I've solved a lot of problems and answered a lot of questions when I came to realize this.

"I am faithful, but not religious. I don't believe all things testify of God. If anything, I am a transcendentalist. I don't find God through congregations and preachers. I find him through trees and mountains and skies, and through myself."

In other words, organized religion doesn't help my spirituality much at all, sometimes it even hurts it.

I haven't found much anything else better that can express how I feel as a person, as much as this song, and when I discovered the music video today, I entered a dream.

Breathe

"I don't care if there is a God that can atone for my sins, because the pain and grief I've caused others and myself I can never forgive nor forget. If I were to make it into heaven, using his atonement, I would want to leave because I know that I don't belong there"

- Me, but not me.

Defeater

I think I may have found the first screamo song that I actually like
and it's not because of the music
but the way the way that it's all put together

I didn't enjoy it when I first started listening to it AT ALL
but because somebody was explaining it to me
I opened up the lyrics page and read along as I listened
and wow
just wow
the whole song is just about emotion

The vocals are all screamed because the brother has lost everything, including peace of mind and self control.
The drums come in like the sound of the oncoming train
and it's all about revenge of one brother to the other because he tore apart the family and made him lose everything he had.

The second part of the song is when he describes all of the landmarks they see of things that remind him of how they grew up together
like "the white oak doors" and "the boardwalk" and "the old shipyard"
and wow
just the mixed emotions with the music and everything
is completely overwhelming and awesome.

I really don't know why I enjoyed listening to it.
It's basically like a movie with all the emotion put into the form of music.
Anyway, check it out if you want to
but you have to have an experimental mindset or else you will just want to mute it like I did at first.
and then the story intrigued me.

CAUTION: THIS SONG IS BONE-CHILLING
IN A SERIOUSLY CREEPY WAY

aiight well get ready for raw emotion
