Thousand Foot Krutch - Stranger Lyrics

This video is almost as old me.

I like the ominous beginning!

these guys remind me of our lady peace. but heavier. are they from Canada?

Yup! Ontario, I believe

this song makes me sad for some reason :/

this comment bar upsets me Christians are too love thy neighbor but all I see is hate. no one can condemn someone to hell only God can. God gives us freewill u choose who u become but that doesn't mean don't share the gospel. share it with love and compassion not hate and damnation.

this song so relates to me. noone sees me or listens... Ima loser... only a few people only remotely respects me... those people are precious to me and I'd die for them in an instant.

My advice is to stop giving a shit what people think about you. Focus on what makes you happy.

How am I only just now discovering this? So good

Nice guitar part!

Yes, that's my favorite part of the song :)

yo this is kinda true in my life i'm not the stranger tho

instead of the word stranger use the word traitor XD

Has anyone else noticed, the Christian comments are like: "Atheist's, stop all these arguments and enjoy the music," but its the Christians starting these stupid arguments. So everyone, please:
ＳＨＵＴ　ＵＰ　ＡＮＤ　ＥＮＪＯＹ　ＴＨＥ　ＭＵＳＩＣ！

you can't group religious people together just like you bully atheists and every other category of people we are ALL individual

no if what you say is true then the people are flawed not the teaching and just like always you bully atheists always love to combine both testaments when we only live by one and we do not "hate" on other religions we disagree and debate we do this because our belief and our lord is sacred to us an atheist can NEVER EVER EVER understand what sacred truly means or what it is to hold something sacred!!!

until all opinions are one, there will have to be understanding. If there is no understanding than there will be eventual conflict. Religion, for some, proves this.

Christian religion is the most flawed in my opinion they hate on other religions and how others view the lord like take a chill pill they follow the bible to the last letter even though it was written by man not god

Don't scroll down, it's so much hate down there, just enjoy the music.

right! cause its not a religion, its a relationship :)

My awesome song to sing to

You're not allowed to say that, you're judging for him whether or not these people can have an opinion. Hypocrite. Think about what you're saying.

Brilliance my friend.

Can you please stop capitalizing pronouns? It's really fucking annoying and grammatically incorrect.

I know this comment is old but your saying he dosent have the right to judge people then why are you judging him for his belief's

If that were the case then wouldn't only Priests and Pastors be certified to preach as you are and judge who is true and who is false as you are? I highly doubt you're as righteous as you act. You've already damned yourself by attempting to damn others. Well done Mr. True "Christian". Get real.

So...I can't worship God through hard rock if someone else says that He's only found in hymns? I can't prefer anime to Pretty Little Liars? For those of you who, like me, are starting to despair for the intelligence in the religious community, I swear we aren't all this stupid.

wow no shit 0_0 , fucking bible tumpers

Its strange when I start thinking about it. Why would they call a genre of music by the name of a religion. What's the big picture behind this all ?... Music is music, religion is religion. What's the connection between them ? Personally, I believe it's stupid. Even though I'm a Christian, I disagree with that kind of names for genres. But enough about it. It's the satisfication of the ear and the messages the songs leave behind that's important, not what religion do they follow. So, cut it out.

I agree with the people that don't care for religion but I love God more than anything else!! :)

Clonetroper 29 I'm gonna be honest you are not going to Heaven not my words it the Bible's idk were you learnt it was ok to call be gay or to swear this very in Christlike and is damaging you more than anyone to live like this

We Christians don't stone people we don't cut off hands we don't force people to accost our beliefs Christianity is relationship not a religion we grow intimate with God and live to please Him

ok i just i have to say one thing is that I'm a Jesus freak and i dont stone people and i love pork. nor would i dare cut someone's hand off for stealing... thats all i have to say v.v Im not religious Im a follower of Christ. i do agree with you though, people should stop arguing about the song and just listen to it and keep your opinions about it to urself unless your saying it ish awesome.

Religious kill other humans, for their thinking of diffrend gods.
Even IN 2013 we are primitive!
Stoning people to dead, rather die, than eating a pig, i mean come on! Cutting people's hands off for stealing!
Come on world, something is clearly wrong.
Lets just listen to the beautiful music, and stop trying to confess people, about the right religion. Thank you.

Enjoy the song assholes.

That is their opinion indeed, we can't blame them cause Thousand Foot Krutch claim to be a Christian band. As you said "look at the big picture", don't just rely on what you believe in right now, continue to search for what is truth until you satisfied. Does who want to enjoy this song, let them enjoy. Those want to give their opinion, let them be. But here is another thing - don't judge anyone. For an atheist must not be judged, only God can judged them cause he is the real judge. :) MSG to all

Well, we can all believe what we want. I was just a bit pissed because every song that hada slight connection with religion had a) giant fights bout religion and b) top coments saying non-religious people are wrong. I would just like to enjoy the music without being called wrong for once. Yey, I got worked up again... But you get what I'm saying. Everyone should be able to think what they want. (Sorry if I offended you religious guys who aren't jerks.)

Are we righteous because of the good works we made? You are the one who judged this atheist, they shouldn't be judged. They also search for the truth... act as a Christian not a religious one.

Do Science proves the differences of language or the existence of the first man, how about the existence of Earth, Solar System and universe? Since Science can't explain the existence of God because God is above Science. :) :)

that makes no sense
cant we just forget about who has what religion and enjoy the song?
The lyrics could mean anything, they've not been explained by TFK so are open to interpretation
you dont have to be christian to enjoy a christian rock song, im an atheist and i love this band for their music nothing more
so can we please drop the religious arguement and just accept each other? =)

I'm a Christian, and that's ridiculous.

i've met some dumb religious people in my time but you sir have just topped them all.

i'm lovin the positive Christian comments, lovin the song as well haha! #goJesus

My favoirte Bible quote.

Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the daysof her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals - as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions. -Ezekiel 23: 19-20

You can't understand the true meaning of the song because The Lord is not within you. Only through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your savior will you be able to truly understand the meaning of this song and life. If you do not, then you will be subject to the consequences when The Lord Almighty, the one we fear, judges you. You should go to church, pray to The Lord, and donate to His church so that His people may be helped.

No, you cannot have your opinion of The Lord. The Lord is The Lord and there is only one way to perceive him. You cannot see The Lord in any other way than the way He is seen. If you view Him any differently than the way He is supposed to be seen, then you are a not a true Christian, and should stop posing as one. You should not have any opinions at all anyway. Opinions can only be made by judgments, and only The Holy Father and His son have the right to judge.

So u a Christian then

lolol. true :)

No shit. But their goal isn't to convert people. It's to make music that as many people as possible can relate to. It's still for anyone interpretation

well this is a christian band.

it's for anyones interpretation.

I understand they're talking about God but I don't believe in him. I am listening and it's close-minded of you to say that people who don't believe in god aren't able to understand it on the same level. TFK isn't writing music to try and convert people. They're writing music about what the love (God in this case) and to entertain thousands of people. If you were a real fan of TFK you wouldn't judge. You'd just love the music like we all do. It cna mean so much more than just god.

Well everybody can give a different meaning to a song. Everybody has a diffrent listening to the same song, it can fit different situations. That's a reason why we love music

Can we just skip all this religious arguing and enjoy the music? These people who try to cram their opinions down others' throats are no better than the millions of trolls who make their life's work to annoy people and piss them off. I'm all for free expression and believing what you want, but please, any religious people listening to this, just stop trying to force your beliefs on other people. You'll find you'll be a lot better off if you stop trying and just go about your lives.

Yeah, but not for you. For me.

That's exactly what I just said. ugh.
I'm just so tired of christians sayng that the ones who don't believe in god are wrong. I said that "No one has proof that a god or something of that nature exists. No one has proof that one Doesn't exist either.".
That meaning I don't think christians are wrong and I don't believe other theories are wrong either. I think everyone should get to think what they want. Don't tell us that we're wrong for not believing in christianity. Now do you get my point?

Sorry i don't believe in God, but I accept every kind of things I hear about religion. Whatever the religion.
Why couldn't I understand this song ? This is stupid. I am here to listen to the music I love.

Actually, I find that TFK is just the kind of band I'm looking for, as they don't directly sing about God. They make good music, and although their words are mostly towards believers in God, I can kind of walk around that and make my own opinion about what their singing.

Abbass, can we not have our opinion of God. To me Cy is right. Can i not believe that? Are we not allowed to have our opinion but you have yours? Answer these, buddy.

I was sleepy and I don't even know that I heard this song hmmm I'm cool

What about people who just like good music and don't care about the religious aspects of songs?

Oh COME ON! For crying out loud.
Can't we even listen to a "christian song" without being "wrong" anymore?
I wish you guys (26 and counting) would listen. No one has proof that a god or something of that nature exists. No one has proof that one Doesn't exist either. Whatever they meant originally isn't the entire point. Look at the big picture.
Just because they meant that, it doesn't mean no one else can have another meaning for it themselves. To me, that means a lot. I DO love this song. Damn.

Yeah, and scientists also say that homosexuals and transgenders are born like that and that it isn't a choice, yet the Bible begs to differ.

Leave people alone.

Uh, do people NEED to listen? Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. Your truth isn't necessarily someone else's truth, by the way.

Wow, I made that comment so long ago. I can't believe people still respond to it. I don't even listen to these bands anymore.. xD. And I was an immature 12 year old who thought since I knew what an atheist was I should be one. Sorry, excuse me.

If my memory is correct, people were arguing over religion, so I decided to share my opinion on that argument. I wasn't trying to tell the world, I was using a personal connection to prove a point.

I'm a Christian and I agree with you. What the lyrics mean all depends on who is listening, your own point of view. Although when people post comments like this on these videos it upsets me that they think they should tell the world. So please don't do this anymore. And those are some of my fav bands too XD ~ God bless

Maybe you should listen to the song's lyrics bro.

@IRockChuAll For once, an actual smart person. I know an atheist personally, and even though I'm Christian, we can have the deepest of conversations and I don't feel like I'm arguing with him.

From 0:06-0:18 is really epic.

This song basically desrcibes me

EVERYBODY SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN BELIEFS! IM CHRISTIAN BUT YOU DONT SEE ME GETTING ON TO OTHER PPL DO YOU. BECAUSE I LET THEM BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO. SO LEAVE PPL ALONE AND LET THEM HAVE THEIR OWN OPINION! YOU CANT CONTROL ANYONES BELIEFS AT ALL IT IS NOT RIGHT! THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

Matthew 7:1-5
(yes i cheated n used google)
so take that "all mighty christian leader" Filiphiles

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

@Filiphiles: if only one religion mattered then it would be the only religion in the world. God or no god, whoever u believe in gave u the right to make ur own joices but not to tell ppl who or what to believe in or who can judge others.
@IRockChuAll: i agree completely with u

For some reason, my mind keeps thinking "russian roulette" by 10 Years

@Filiphiles I haven't listened to TFK since I posted my original comment. I was an immature 12 year old back then. What I said is still true though, you don't need to be a certain religion to listen to specific music. I'm not ignoring the fact that he's a Christian, I'm translating his perspective into my own beliefs. It's great music.

@IRockChuAll in Trevors songs you feel the love to God and his voice is a gift... so it's kinda hard to ignore the fact that he's a christian... However, on every video people are talking about the religion thing...

0:40 AAAaah!!!! Trevor's voice FTW!!!!

@parkourip Oh yes, surely, I'm full of myself. I go around telling an ignorant Christian to not disrespect others' beliefs, and he says I'M full of myself. You're the one full of yourself, trying to make someone believe in something they don't want to is so low and pathetic. Respect other opinions, yours isn't always right.

@parkourip Now, that sir was the worst comeback anyone could ever think of following your illegitimate argument too. I'm not overreacting, I'm trying to get a point across. Learn some proper grammar, and don't disrespect others beliefs.

@parkourip Please, you are sick. I put up my own opinion, and you come around with your ignorant arrogance acting like you are superior by being Christian. If you have the nerve to go around telling others that their beliefs aren't realistic, then you might as well expect the same kind of answer back. Get over yourself.

@midnightpredator18 Why would a human (the child) have to go to god (the father)
when you create something (even with free will) you are responsible for it.

If he is there, then why doesn't he do something against all the horrors in this world? because if he is as almighty as you think, he could get rid of all the bad stuff in this world within 1 second.

and yes thats faith: believing without proof. I have already seen proof against him so consider that my faith.

@noodlecookies And as long as you look at it that way, you're not going to be able to see the good that God does. That's what faith is, believing without always seeing or understanding. He won't show you anything unless you allow Him to show you Himself, giving your all to Him so He can change and use you to help others like that, if that's where your heart is.
I'll be keeping you in my prayers!

@midnightpredator18 there are exeptions of course, there are too much people alive to say that this goes for everyone, but it goes for a majority of the people.

and god should convince because he can end entire war's and a lot of misery by just proving himself. neither us or god gives a sign. but as our 'leader' and our 'savior' he should be the one to make a first move.

and please.. christ was a long time ago its a new generation and we deserve some proof

@noodlecookies Well, the problem with that statement is God doesn't need to convince, He instilled it in us to already recognize Him. We are the ones that fight it.

@noodlecookies So what does that mean for those who were raised in other religions, but came to Christ anyway? Like... me for example?

@midnightpredator18 yes its easy to point fingers because when a group suffers its always the fault of the leader. a good leader puts trust in his group in ALL of them.

and you can deny this if you want: but religion is a matter of what you're taught by your parents.

if my parents would have been arabian i would have been a muslim
if they were christian i would have been one too.

i had both as parents so was raised atheist, god should focus on convincing people as me.

@midnightpredator18 in the mirror and seeing the damage we've done. We'd much rather deny it.

@noolecookies Real easy to point fingers, isn't it? Good thing God doesn't cause death and destruction, but rather wants to give us life to live abundantly.
He already had a plan, and it was fulfilled, His name was Jesus,and His sacrifice is what sets us free. He has an awesome plan for each and every person- but we need to take the first step and take his hand. If we don't do that, we can't be any help. Instead, we become cowards and place the blame on Him, wrongfully placed instead of looking

@midnightpredator18 yes i actually asked him a few times to stop all the pain in the world and to erase pain and angry feelings or at least lower them, and yet people die, more rapists appear everywhere and i hit my head to my desk.

so yeah i stopped asking him for favors, if he is so almighty he should come up with a plan that saves us instead of killing us slowly,

you appear to be best buds with him, can you perhaps ask him to stop childabuse hunger and pain? thanks.

@noodlecookies Have you even tried to let Him help you?
You can't be helped if you choose not to be.

@cycmpdf mabey i like the way how they play the music instead of the actual deeper meanings of the song, btw you can state these things without having actual proof of that.

and even if thats true, are you telling us (atheists) to stop listening to this song because i don't believe in god?

btw even if god is up there, he's not doing shit about our problems so why worship him?

@bassist01202325323 An excellent piece of writing there, I must say. Very true and and a very good point, most seem to forget that demanding that others see things from your perspective gets you nowhere.

Even the world around us is nothing more than what our minds create from the information they are given. No two people see the world in the exact same way since each individual's mind is different and will therefore interpret it in a different fashion. It is the same for religion, art and music

Music is music. Religion is religion. They're only connected if we connect them. I write music, and not everyone else understands what I write. There is no right or wrong, in music or religion. My religion is my business and I'm not forcing it on anyone else, so don't force yours on me. Music, like religion, only means what you interpret. Do not ever tell anyone that they've interpreted music wrong, it is impossible. Grow up and stop argueing.

I am a stranger in the earth; do not hide Your Commandments from me.

(Psalms 119:19)

What we are in the truth only God can say

This song pretty much describes me

@IRockChuAll Flyleaf is alternative metal,and music is a religion.

@Billy07032011 Jesus was a real person. Scientists even agree with that.

oh right, 4 Ur Info everyone, Religion means nothing, it will get u nowhere, trust me, it doesn't! So knock it off, be nice, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Another thing is, Music isn't just music, it's inspiration for your soul, that and they're not thinking of religion they are thinking of their heavenly father, not religion.

Tfk rocks

I love the drums in this song :) This is my favorite song by them
