like alot of thier songs they can have different meanings to different people but the message is timeless. God heals and restores and in him there is life everlasting.
The lyrics, absolutely make me think of Eve in the Bible, back in the garden of Eden.. Like sumone said on here, Uncle Bobby is a nickname for death... These lyrics seem to point to Eve bringing sin into the world, with the consequence of death following. But Then the redemption through Jesus came along and swallowed up death, bringing life.
"A call to be still" = a bible verse that says "Be still & know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10) Oh, glory! We will rise to eternal life, despite the death of our sIn, because of the price Jesus paid for us! :)
i admire your strength and your faith in Christ. ive had a TON of people in my lifetime. and i hated God for it, for a while. but now i see His love and His purpose. His beauty and grace. this has made me strong.
That's because "Uncle Bobby" is a hidden track that is placed before "Beautiful Bride". The song can be heard by rewinding the disc to -4:28. On digital versions of the album, the song is track 15, after "Arise".
I think this song is about when she found out her three-year-old cousin died from child abuse. That was when her depression started, so when she referring to 'her' she was meaning 'herself'. She wanted to die but then God saved her from death, so life over-powered death, and she decided to live on. And also the song got its name from her uncle bobby who killed her cousin.
This reminds me of my grandma she past by COVID I didn't cry at her funeral I couldn't idk why but in my bfs car my ex now I was screaming and crying cussing God for taking her even tho it wasn't his fault rip gram gram I miss u so much
Knowledge came and devastated Pressure building behind her eyes Breathing buried under the weight Will she, has she died also this day Her death has been swallowed up by life This dead will rise Dying to death and raising to life The moment we became alive death was waiting, chasing And all of us fell and kept breathing One day, today A spirits alive, a body has died And death has been swallowed up by life This death will rise Dying to death and raising to life With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry Death has been swallowed up by life This dead will rise In the middle of All the business A call to be still Multitude of words Quiet be still And death has been swallowed up by life This death will rise Dying to death and raising to life With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry Death has been swallowed up by life This dead will rise
Especially when it says "knowledge came and devistated" When Eve sinned, the consequence was the knowledge of good and evil, bringing in the ability to chose evil, in which the consequence of death follows.
@13hockeyswim13 Rewind to -4:28 (negative 4:28) actually!...start playing track 1 (Beautiful Bride), then press & hold rewind, so that it goes back past 0:00, and back to -4:28! So GOOD & TRICKY too! WOO HOO! :)
Hey Shadowspeace, thanks heaps for posting this video - especially the lyrics! Sorry for taking over the comments with my excitement/appreciation/interperetation! I get carried away sometimes!?
@muimui150x it is. Its the "hidden" pregap song. Essentially put the cd in a reg cd player, and hold the 'backskip" button all the way to 4:27 and there's this song
Alright, it IS actually on my CD, WMP just wasn't allowing me to access it! And I just realised that the opening line, "KNOWLEDGE came & devistated", confirms that the song IS about the fall of man in the garden of Eden - it was the tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good & evil that they ate from! Now the only mystery is Uncle Bobby? ANy thoughts anyone?
Oh, fuck it all! Sick of being sick and tired, Sick of understanding Tired of feeling sick to my stomach Demons inside command me They're saying crush it, break it, smash it Fuckin' kill 'em all! Laugh as it falls away I won't dodge another silver bullet Just to save a little face [Chorus:] I want you to know, I want you to see I want you to look beyond your own eyes Past your afflictions How many people really care? How many will be standing? I'll light the match, the flame, the fuse, the bomb Rescue the world from slavery I wanna torch it, burn it, scorch it, Fuckin' stomp it out Laugh as it blows away I won't eat another rotten apple Though I've grown to like the taste [Chorus:] I want you to know, I want you to see I want you to look beyond your own eyes Past your afflictions I want you to hurt, want you to bleed I want you to look beyond your own face Past your infections I'm taking back control with my knuckles I'm taking back control with my knuckles I'm taking back control with my knuckles I'm taking back control with my knuckles [guitar solo] Smash it, burn it, break it, kill it Fuck 'em all! [Chorus:] I want you to know, I want you to see I want you to look beyond your own eyes Past your afflictions I want you to hurt, want you to bleed I want you to look beyond your own face Past your infections
Dying to death, means dying to sIn (sIn is equated with death in the scriptures) = repenting, which leads to new life (raising to life) in Christ (= being born again). As to the specifics of the song's background (Unc Bob?, she?) I'm not exactly sure, but come to think of it, I reckon 'she' is Eve, and the song seems to be about the original sin of Eve, and God's rescue plan 4 mankind!?
I love this song and have sung it more times then I can count.... However, while this vid is a nice recording of the audio, the screen lyrics aren't sync'ed with the vocals. There's a noticeable delay. Just be wary to new vocalists trying to learn this song
Feel it fleeding back to the sound of knowledge breaking out into her skin,now u know i feel more you in the moment of battle,no warfare fire on till the cloak dissolves into your soul,now know what your missing in you,its me press into sleep for more piece in that too
@StayReal4God OK, this is fun!...Put the MM CD into a normal CD player (ie. NOT a computer's CD drive) & let it start playing Beautiful Bride, then rewind (reverse fastplay) back PAST 0:00 to -4:23 and let it play from there & you'll have Uncle Bobby to enjoy! :)
Pressure building behind her eyes = tempted by the look of the fruit on the tree, buried under the weight of the temptation & she died (spiritually & eventually leading to her physical death, and passing her death onto all of us) when she ate the forbidden fruit, and that's why death is waiting for & chasing us from the moment we're born! And all of us FELL but kept breathing - we died spiritually, despite still living physically!
I had the memento mori CD too, I did get it when I was 12 years old, The time when I was one year in psychiatric hospital. I was allowed to hear music in my Room. So this was the soundtrack of my teenage desperate I still feel it . Today at 23 years
@loufordian Thanks for your comment, but I have no idea what U mean about a Mary vibe!? I am a Christian, and have no knowledge of Catholic Mary stuff?! How does sad & death being chased away relate to Mary?! No worries, I just don't know what U mean! lol
@shapeshifter567 Yeah, could be, 4 sure. But would be good to know 4 sure, rather than guessing. Seems a bit random for FL - they usually have very significant (& usually spiritual/biblical) meanings/reasons behind most of what they do/sing.
@joshpenecost09 So if my great great great great great great great great grandfather stole something I should be punished for it? Also I think it shows something that for us to be forgiven someones blood had to be shed. Still love the song, though it obviously has a different meaning for me.
@greencherry5 Yeah, RAD song 4 sure! Flyleaf are always very good! Meaning...it is obviously an overtly Chirstian song - Christianity/the bible are all about death & life (death to yourselfishness, eternal life). There's a bible verse about death being swallowed up by life. Jesus rose from the dead, and the dead in Christ will one day rise likewise...
@NicoleMarieButterfly Thanks, it certainly could be, but even so it is still primarily about the salvation that she has in death as a Christian lady ("Her death has been swallowed up by LIFE - this dead will rise! Dying to death & raising to LIFE!")! Either interpretation is HEAVY 4 sure! The problem of sin in our lives & the spiritual death that it brings - which Jesus swallowed up by his death & LIFE OR the problem of death/cancer that came upon our world as a result of Adam & Eves sin! :(
@13hockeyswim13 lol xD i bought memento mori so i could use the cd if i wanted 2 do my talent show and when i wanna piss my mom off by blasting music xD and i wanted the free downloads that came with it... i should have gotten the deluxe version cuz it came with 6 webisode downloads
@wonbytheson But why would the actions of one be EVERYONE'S fault? If, say, my aunt were to murder someone, should I be put in jail too along with everyone else in my family?
I am intrigued about why it's called Uncle Bobby? Her death (Eve's sIn, that has come upon all of mankind) has been swallowed up by Christ's life giving sacrifice! :)
@loufordian Cool, stoke U R not C! :) Thx 4 gettin what I mean. I see what you're sayin, but I don't reckon it really fits very well, but hey who cares what I think anyway!? lol God & Flyleaf KNOW, and it is intriguing, but we may not know 4 sure til we all get to Heaven...& we can ask God, or Lacey what THEY were singing about in UB!?! O GLORY! :) Blessings on U sister!

wow 0.0
WHAT!? I used to have the disc! I’m so mad I didn’t try that!
It's also about her getting over her uncle's death.
I really want this song played at my funeral.
My second favorite. Right after Circle.
This is dedicated to my favorite beloved uncle bobby who passed away in March of 2016. I miss him everyday.
Don't be sad that it is finished. Be glad it happened.
I think this song is about when she found out her three-year-old cousin died from child abuse. That was when her depression started, so when she referring to 'her' she was meaning 'herself'. She wanted to die but then God saved her from death, so life over-powered death, and she decided to live on. And also the song got its name from her uncle bobby who killed her cousin.
I also thought something like that
I actually had an uncle named Bobby.......:(
He died before I got to know him though...
Yet I still miss him even though I never really knew him...
DivineTwilitPrincess What a coincidence I just went threw the same thing-
And then, O GLORY, our death gets swallowed up by Jesus' life when we repent & are given eternal life! Woo hoo! Preach it Lacey!
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG!
One of my favorite song's ever it means a lot once you understand it thank you flyleaf
Am I the only one who thought of Supernatural and Bobby's wife?
Anon Ymous ME!!
I miss my grandpa. Rip Bobby Briley. #NC
Shout out to my aunt joy and the cry that lived 3 doors down ...
But they barely scratched the surface...
Sarah Cofer my uncle named Bobby died recently what a coincidence
Is it weird I want this song played at my funeral?
LaurenLikesPTVMoreThanPeople YDG me to
No
"With mournful joy, she finally lets out her cry."
My father died the summer 10, and that's the part where i broke down.
one of my fav Flyleaf song !!!!!!!!!!!!!
this song should have been on the album, its so amazing
This reminds me of my grandma she past by COVID I didn't cry at her funeral I couldn't idk why but in my bfs car my ex now I was screaming and crying cussing God for taking her even tho it wasn't his fault rip gram gram I miss u so much
I’m totally amazed by this song. Christ what a song
great, I can't stop crying... THANKS A LOT!!!
Knowledge came and devastated
Pressure building behind her eyes
Breathing buried under the weight
Will she, has she died also this day
Her death has been swallowed up by life
This dead will rise
Dying to death and raising to life
The moment we became alive death was waiting,
chasing
And all of us fell and kept breathing
One day, today
A spirits alive, a body has died
And death has been swallowed up by life
This death will rise
Dying to death and raising to life
With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry
Death has been swallowed up by life
This dead will rise
In the middle of
All the business
A call to be still
Multitude of words
Quiet be still
And death has been swallowed up by life
This death will rise
Dying to death and raising to life
With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry
Death has been swallowed up by life
This dead will rise
There's probably notbkne song I havnt loved by flyleaf
Especially when it says "knowledge came and devistated"
When Eve sinned, the consequence was the knowledge of good and evil, bringing in the ability to chose evil, in which the consequence of death follows.
@13hockeyswim13 Rewind to -4:28 (negative 4:28) actually!...start playing track 1 (Beautiful Bride), then press & hold rewind, so that it goes back past 0:00, and back to -4:28!
So GOOD & TRICKY too! WOO HOO! :)
and all of us fell and kept breathing..man oml its so littt I ship it
one of my favourite Flyleaf songs
Hey Shadowspeace, thanks heaps for posting this video - especially the lyrics! Sorry for taking over the comments with my excitement/appreciation/interperetation! I get carried away sometimes!?
Looking for this song everywhere, I'm glad I found it now :)
This song got me thru therapy
My name is Bobby and I just became and uncle for the second time today...not sure how I should take this song
@StayReal4God Stoked to hear that someone else is FEELin it' with me! Thanks for letting me know that I'm not alone! :) btw, I dig your name!
i cry every time i hear this my uncle bobby just died :,(
amazing song!!!!
I am so in love with this song :D :D Its amazing!
incredible.
@muimui150x it is. Its the "hidden" pregap song. Essentially put the cd in a reg cd player, and hold the 'backskip" button all the way to 4:27 and there's this song
Alright, it IS actually on my CD, WMP just wasn't allowing me to access it!
And I just realised that the opening line, "KNOWLEDGE came & devistated", confirms that the song IS about the fall of man in the garden of Eden - it was the tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good & evil that they ate from!
Now the only mystery is Uncle Bobby? ANy thoughts anyone?
Oh, fuck it all!
Sick of being sick and tired,
Sick of understanding
Tired of feeling sick to my stomach
Demons inside command me
They're saying crush it, break it, smash it
Fuckin' kill 'em all!
Laugh as it falls away
I won't dodge another silver bullet
Just to save a little face
[Chorus:]
I want you to know, I want you to see
I want you to look beyond your own eyes
Past your afflictions
How many people really care?
How many will be standing?
I'll light the match, the flame, the fuse, the bomb
Rescue the world from slavery
I wanna torch it, burn it, scorch it,
Fuckin' stomp it out
Laugh as it blows away
I won't eat another rotten apple
Though I've grown to like the taste
[Chorus:]
I want you to know, I want you to see
I want you to look beyond your own eyes
Past your afflictions
I want you to hurt, want you to bleed
I want you to look beyond your own face
Past your infections
I'm taking back control with my knuckles
I'm taking back control with my knuckles
I'm taking back control with my knuckles
I'm taking back control with my knuckles
[guitar solo]
Smash it, burn it, break it, kill it
Fuck 'em all!
[Chorus:]
I want you to know, I want you to see
I want you to look beyond your own eyes
Past your afflictions
I want you to hurt, want you to bleed
I want you to look beyond your own face
Past your infections
oh
+spiderskull98 you write this?
+iM Okay? It's not my song.
+spiderskull98 oh whos is it...do you write tho?
Im sure it's Breaking Benjamin right?
Such a good song, i have no idea what it means though!
Write on and on untill they have no more sorrow for what weve done,
Dying to death, means dying to sIn (sIn is equated with death in the scriptures) = repenting, which leads to new life (raising to life) in Christ (= being born again).

I'm not exactly sure, but come to think of it, I reckon 'she' is Eve, and the song seems to be about the original sin of Eve, and God's rescue plan 4 mankind!?
you did really awesome on your first time
I love this song and have sung it more times then I can count.... However, while this vid is a nice recording of the audio, the screen lyrics aren't sync'ed with the vocals. There's a noticeable delay.
Just be wary to new vocalists trying to learn this song
Feel it fleeding back to the sound of knowledge breaking out into her skin,now u know i feel more you in the moment of battle,no warfare fire on till the cloak dissolves into your soul,now know what your missing in you,its me press into sleep for more piece in that too
@StayReal4God OK, this is fun!...Put the MM CD into a normal CD player (ie. NOT a computer's CD drive) & let it start playing Beautiful Bride, then rewind (reverse fastplay) back PAST 0:00 to -4:23 and let it play from there & you'll have Uncle Bobby to enjoy! :)
@prayerswillbeanswred i didn't know if the rewinding backwards for this song would work, but it does so if you have the cd, go for it! :D
@Darverses that's a funny name for a preacher. i can hear it now. all hail preacher BOBBY
And I'm spewin that this 'secret track' isn't on my MM CD that I bought!?! I'll get it somehow!?!
My uncle's name is actually Bob lol
Pressure building behind her eyes = tempted by the look of the fruit on the tree, buried under the weight of the temptation & she died (spiritually & eventually leading to her physical death, and passing her death onto all of us) when she ate the forbidden fruit, and that's why death is waiting for & chasing us from the moment we're born! And all of us FELL but kept breathing - we died spiritually, despite still living physically!
❤😢
OMG the going backward on the cd thingy really works!! :D srry, flyleaf gets me excited
Please lord Jesus. Watch over my niece because Martha Stewart is feeling like herself.
@wonbytheson Actually, I think it's referring to Sameer's cousin Esther who died that year of a brain tumor.
@NicoleMarieButterfly :) Way to be girl! Blessings on you.
Am I the only one who doesn't have this song on my Momento Mori CD?
I had the memento mori CD too, I did get it when I was 12 years old,
The time when I was one year in psychiatric hospital.
I was allowed to hear music in my Room.
So this was the soundtrack of my teenage desperate
I still feel it . Today at 23 years
@loufordian Thanks for your comment, but I have no idea what U mean about a Mary vibe!? I am a Christian, and have no knowledge of Catholic Mary stuff?! How does sad & death being chased away relate to Mary?! No worries, I just don't know what U mean! lol
different things for different people? " a spirits alive but a body has died"? please interpret for me
imaginexxx God made us as immortal beings, when we die our spirits pass on from our mortal bodies to either meet God in heaven or be sent to hell.
imaginexxx it means the body died, but the spirit of the person is still alive get it now?
@gryffindorgirl98 Don't B sorry!...I/we UNDERSTAND the FL EXCITEMENT factor!!! :) SO GOOD!!
@wonbytheson i definitely agree. I, too, am a Christian.
No Blood! No Bone! No Ash!
@13hockeyswim13 lol i already bought the expanded memento mori a while ago xD i bought the cd a week ago
@shapeshifter567 Yeah, could be, 4 sure. But would be good to know 4 sure, rather than guessing. Seems a bit random for FL - they usually have very significant (& usually spiritual/biblical) meanings/reasons behind most of what they do/sing.
@Darverses Yeah, hilarious *music* ! :)
@joshpenecost09 So if my great great great great great great great great grandfather stole something I should be punished for it? Also I think it shows something that for us to be forgiven someones blood had to be shed. Still love the song, though it obviously has a different meaning for me.
@13hockeyswim13 ooo thats gunna be hard 4 me cuz my cd player doesnt show the lengths and the numbers it just shows the track numbers
@theonekari
I think so :P
@greencherry5 Yeah, RAD song 4 sure! Flyleaf are always very good! Meaning...it is obviously an overtly Chirstian song - Christianity/the bible are all about death & life (death to yourselfishness, eternal life). There's a bible verse about death being swallowed up by life. Jesus rose from the dead, and the dead in Christ will one day rise likewise...
@StayReal4God Did you 'find' it before Beautiful Bride?
@wonbytheson will you explain why the title is uncle bobby now??? lol:D
how can i get this song from the album to my computer when its on the "negative" side"??
@NicoleMarieButterfly Thanks, it certainly could be, but even so it is still primarily about the salvation that she has in death as a Christian lady ("Her death has been swallowed up by LIFE - this dead will rise! Dying to death & raising to LIFE!")!
Either interpretation is HEAVY 4 sure! The problem of sin in our lives & the spiritual death that it brings - which Jesus swallowed up by his death & LIFE OR the problem of death/cancer that came upon our world as a result of Adam & Eves sin! :(
@wonbytheson Dedicated to a family member?
can dig it
@13hockeyswim13 lol xD i bought memento mori so i could use the cd if i wanted 2 do my talent show and when i wanna piss my mom off by blasting music xD and i wanted the free downloads that came with it... i should have gotten the deluxe version cuz it came with 6 webisode downloads
@wonbytheson But why would the actions of one be EVERYONE'S fault? If, say, my aunt were to murder someone, should I be put in jail too along with everyone else in my family?
I am intrigued about why it's called Uncle Bobby? Her death (Eve's sIn, that has come upon all of mankind) has been swallowed up by Christ's life giving sacrifice! :)
@shapeshifter567 Certainly possible, but I'm intrigued & would like to know for sure, if anyone knows or finds out.
What the instrument playing in the beginning of the song?
its wishing has she also died this day.......
@ebearz94 SAD! D:
@loufordian Cool, stoke U R not C! :) Thx 4 gettin what I mean. I see what you're sayin, but I don't reckon it really fits very well, but hey who cares what I think anyway!? lol God & Flyleaf KNOW, and it is intriguing, but we may not know 4 sure til we all get to Heaven...& we can ask God, or Lacey what THEY were singing about in UB!?!
