In Christian belief, burning often represents the refiners fire which is where God molds us to be a beautiful being, and burns away our imperfections and sins into nothing. Matt Schultz grew up in a Christian family. People who are blind and do not understand what is going on in the world are usually just heartbroken and feel like the world is on there shoulders, and over all, just overwhelmed. “Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders” “Do you understand the things that you've been dreamingĭreams usually have a meaning to our waking lives and most people don’t care to find out what they are about and what they mean. One thing I got from this myself is that most people don’t understand that there is spiritual warfare going on in the world that causes, hate, anger, division, lust, and fear, etc. He is asking if you really understand the things that you are seeing, or are you just living simple minded. If you come a little closer you will see the truth. I believe he is talking about hell (as most celebrities sell their souls to get their dreams and their ways, yet they know what they are doing is leading them to hell, along with their followers.) It’s possible that he sees his fans as a bunch of sinners as most people nowadays don’t open their eyes and choose to not accept Christ (I could be wrong about this sentence). When he says still I know I’ll see you there, he is either talking about heaven or hell. After all, this world, at times, can blind you. Of course we should all see God as her father, but he still could have seen God in that way.Įarthquakes could have something to do with things that shake your soul and make you realize that there is something beyond this world that you are haven’t recognized.
I think right here he could be talking about the way he feels about God or Christ. My InterpretationI think that the song is talking about waking up to what’s really going on in the world both physically and spiritually.Īt first you were my father, now I love you like a brother” My InterpretationI feel as if the first verse is about how a person was in trouble then they found someone pure and inspiring who later on became more of an equal because of things they have done 'DUST BEHIND YOU' could be a metaphor bad decisions.'this world at times will blind you' probably means that you know its not your fault you got caught up in that mess everybody makes mistakes "still i know ill see you there' probably means that the friend is strong the 2nd verse prob means something similar.How the friend and you go are at a breaking point and your at a crossroads are u guna lay down and let it defeat you or are u guna fight.(with the final verse i cant quite figure it out yet) and then the chorus my FAV PART is about how EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING has more meaning to it,more depth,more value then what is on the surface.And i also think that it is kind of a way to challenge the listener to really look at themselves and figure out why they are the way they are,why do you feel? TL DR: the song is about we need more political and engaged people trying to change the world and finding a greater good for mankind and less YOLO. And then "Time flies by, they all sang along", meaning they all (people of the world) only think about thenselves and sing along to those that make the world how it is today. And then he talks about how the sun sets and rises, relating it to how things stay the same because nobody does anything to really change our status quo. How about most of the world is "standing alone", thinking only about themselves. Oooh, I wanna see if you can change it, change itĪbout how difficult trying to change the world really is but he hopes to see them "there" (trying to change the world with him). "Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders Pretty much self explanatory, but he hopes to make a point about how the other person understands the things he's been seeing and dreaming (dreaming in this case that reality is something it's not). First he had respect for how that someone used to live (father) but then he saw in that someone the possibility for them to acctually become something more.ĭo you understand the things you been seein'ĭo you understand the things that you've been dreaming He is hoping to make the other person understand how important it is to see the world how it trully is. My InterpretationI think this song is about how people do not want to aknowledge how the world is and are always only trying to find happiness and not wanting to actualy change the world.Īt first you were my father, now I love you like a brother Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders Things aren't always what they seem to beĭo you understand the things that you've been seein'?ĭo you understand the things that you've been dreamin'?
