All of Flyleaf's songs are written from Biblical inspiration, and the salvation of Christ that God gives to us. Lacey uses bits and pieces from the Bible in nearly all of her songs because MOST of her songs are her little personal serenades from her towards God. She shares these moments of pure love and vulnerability with her listeners. A lot of people don't even make the connection between all the bands lyrics and the Bible but if you knew Laceys' background you'd understand the songs even better, and you'd be able to go deeper if you're familiar with the Bible cuz its really cool to hear how she intertwines scripture into her lyrics. I love her genuine cry out to God in her expression of LOVE for Him and gratitude for salvation and even her sharing of her struggle from darkness into His saving Light. This is pretty much the main reason why people love these songs but no idea WHY they connect with them so deeply. I believe its simply because they're songs that praise God, and I know when God is being praised (regardless IF you realize it or not) it draws His presence to where you are and you become emotional and sensitive to the words. Then you start singing along and tears are coming and little do you know you've just drawn the Presence of God to you as your soul sung along with Lacey. God is no respecter of persons and its amazing how he uses anyone to draw people to Him in sweet love and even needed tears.
@@savvycadaver625 yes Lacey is great, I grew up with her and I love her voice but the new singer is very damn good, if anyone could replace Lacey, it’s her
I understand this song is religious, but it gets to me on a different level. I first heard this a year ago, a few days after I heard it my boyfriend proposed to me. We were in a stressful situation and I didn't want him saying it just because of the stress, it was so random I almost didn't believe he was serious, so I smiled and told him to ask me again once everything calmed down, that it had to be cliche and a fairy tale setting (jokingly). He died two days later. Maybe if I told him yes, he'd still be here. I wish he knew how bad I wanted to say yes. I really need him now, if only to hear his voice.
GodOfThe Wolves He wouldn't be happy with what I've done; I'm not even happy about it. It's a comforting thought though.... Hass PerieratSoul I'm sorry :c all loss hurts, no one persons is more/less than someone else's
I had a similar thing happen. But it wasn't with a lover. I was young, but I still remember it vividly. I believe I was.. eleven. And I had just started middle school. Sixth grade. My family was in a bad way, and we were about to lose our house. My parents had past problems with drugs, though they were recovering. But we were still on the poverty line. My dad was around a lot more than my mom. On a Wednesday, out of the blue, he sold the title to his car so we could get some money and he let me and my little brother do whatever we wanted. Before we got my brother, he stopped and bought some sleeping medicine because he had problems with it. He took too many pills, and he was dead the next morning. The anniversary of his death is this Friday. He always told me how much he loved me, and how important I was to him. I never believed it, and I still don't see what's so loveable about me. Though I wish I had taken more thought to him. The last thing he ever said to me was an 'I love you' before bed. I'm sorry about your loss. And just remember you can always find love again. Don't give up just because of one tragedy. I've been through hell in only a few years of living, but there's always someone that'll take it all away and make you feel special. I promise, if you keep looking, you'll find them.
I can't begin to imagine the pain. I am amazed you can get up each day - Something like this would have put me in a mental hospital, never recovering from the fetal position.. I'm in awe of your strength.
***For anyone who was curious at how it could be taken as a religious story, here are some explanation's for the lyrics: : ) Hope it helps~! "Circle encircles the Earth, chance and choice break his heart.": _as God looks down upon us, sees us as we turn our back on Him. And it is through this choice and chance of sin that we deny the very love God has for us, and this pains His heart deeply. "His innocent arm moves to save me, and I am spared.": _it is through His pure forgiveness and unending love for us that saves us from an eternal suffering. "His beautiful arm is bloody and cut of. His heart ripped out to show me He loved me": _He wants us to willingly love Him; He will not force us to. And even still, man denies His arm, reaching out to save us (His forgiveness). Christ poured out and showed to us the extent of His love for us when He suffered and died on the cross, so that even though we sin, we may still be saved. "I left His arms empty and tied outstretched for me until He died.": _His love for me; that he died, tied and bound to a cross; I did not accept, and so I left the arms of forgiveness that He offered to me, and left Him hanging there. "No man shows greater love than when a man lays down his life for his beloved.": _this is straight out of the Bible. John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." Friends meaning "those whom one loves." And this is exactly what Christ did at the cross. "And here I am alive, and I don't have the right." _who am I to have the right to ask forgiveness and be saved, when I gave it up when I sinned? (You give up rights by your decisions and actions, it is the same when you sin. Even if you don't acknowledge it, that pain in your heart is proof of your suffering that sin and a separation of love has left within you.) "But He gave me the right; costing Him His life; new mercies in the morning." _it was by His death on the cross that gave that opened the way by which I can be saved (freeing all the souls in purgatory and creating a new pathway to Heaven). He has shown mercy to us all, and through His resurrection, He let it be known that he was God, and so brought me to eternal life. The rest of the lyrics explain themselves when looked at in this way. But if you would still like any clarifications, I'd be glad to give some. : ) Hope this helps~!
"he gave me the right, costing him his life..." wow that sends shivers down my spine and brings tears into my eyes, such a beautiful song, i thank God for Lacey Moseley and Flyleaf, God bless this band, i love them so much, and i thank God for this band, there is so much crap music in this world that i like other teens would be listening to if there were not bands like this, L.M is and ispiration.
May the glory of the LORD continue forever! The LORD takes pleasure in all he has made! The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch. (Psalm 104:31-32, NLT)
I remember when I was 16 and almost atheist. I would listen to this and not feel anything. I just liked how the song sounded. Now three years passed, I believe in God and thank him for saving me from death. I just listened to this song after 3 years and I balled my eyes out. I now understand what this song means. I never realized the meaning when I was younger and an athiest. Life without God and the son of God, Jesus is a truly dark life. "He gave me the right. Costing him his life. New mercies in the morning." ♡
Praise God! Thanks be to His awesome power. I am beyond words for what the power of God does, but I can't help but rejoice to hear what God has done for you!
I JUST had this same experience. I liked the sound of this song in high school yet I laughed at the fact that people thought a man in the sky created us. I was a total atheist. 7 years later, of pain and struggle, and I’ve been born again through Christ. Heard this song today and bawled for an hour. I feel so much guilt for ever not believing in the one that gave his life to give me the right to live. I am so grateful he’s given me a second chance ❤️
That’s the beauty of fantastic art, no matter who you are or state of mind it can hit you somewhere in your heart. Christ is the only reason I’m still breathing and I’m thankful everyday for him
I can't even put into words how beautiful this. It's full of so much emotion, and I listen to it every day so that when I feel like giving up I remember how much he's done for me and how much he actually loves me. It's easy to forget.
“And here I am alive, and I don’t have the right. He gave me the right- costing Him His life. New mercies in the morning! I believe... what if I believe You?” Lacey’s vulnerability in her writing is so powerful. Reminds me to come before God as weak as I am and not as strong as I wish I could be.
To think the intensity Jesus spoke with that struck to the core of all who listened. I believe they knew but wanted to keep their way of tradition and power. But JESUS!!!!!! The earth shook, veil torn, and eventually the tomb was empty!!!! So good....
I'm not quite Christian, I've kind of formulated a religion that helps me understand, but man, something about Flyleaf's lyrics always lifts me out of a bad mood, religious or not
I'm an atheist too, and I think these are fantastic songs. Frankly, the fact that Flyleaf and I disagree on the existence of the subject matter doesn't change the passion and love that Lacey sings with. I wish more bands had that kind of drive.
This song puts me in a miraculous state of LOVE. I just couldn't even put into words how I can close my eyes &nd just FEEL this flowing through me. Singing it....doesn't come close to even getting as close as I wish I could to the depth of this songs emotion. ughh..
Better late than never but I FULLY AGREE!:) AND HOPE THIS SONG HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE YOU FEEL THIS WAY AND THAT YOU'VE FOUND MANY MORE THAT HAS FILLED YOU UP WITH THOSE KIND OF EMOTIONS AND FREEDOM FROM THE INSIDE OUT ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING AND I LOVE HOW YOUR NOT AFRAID OR EMBARRASSED TO EXPRESS IT AS BEST YOU CAN HOPE ALL HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE PEACEFUL AND WONDERFUL IN YOUR LIFE FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES:) TAKE CARE ALWAYS:) MUCH LOVE··}·{€@
im starting a band kinda like this but im puting my own like with worship and acoustic sets...my band is called Dvora...God is really blessing us! i cant even say how amazing he is i just have no words but that he is sooo amazing amd im so happy i didnt give up my life last year..God had something els in mind..and he does with you too. :) never give up and trust in God and pray and seek his face you never know what could happen :)
The reason why is because Lacey is singing from a place many have never in their lives. Her songs come from the greatest form of human expression of all. This song cries out from her soul. Lacey Sturm was literally about to end her life by hanging, but God's spirit came and filled her with peace and comfort. I myself have felt God move in my own body, causing fear to leave and make me be able to do things my normal mind is incapable of. God gives me the strength to be the best person I can, and enables me to work towards helping the world be changed for the better. He can be there for you if you seek after Him. Read the gospels and the book of Acts, then all the way through the Bible if you can. God has a plan for your life, and he loves you more than anyone else could ever love. God bless.
Flyleaf is a ChristianBand, pretty much all of their songs contain somewhat religious content.They do have songs about friendship & love but not many. To me this song means:She refused the
I love how when its obvious that a song is about God or Jesus every denies it but if its about a relationship no one argues with that. Yes they are a christian band the lyrics are 99.9% about their faith and yes they are awesome not every christian is boring people!. Flyleaf rocks COME TO MIAMI!!!!!
This vid was uploaded 11 years ago. I till this day come and listen to this beautiful song. I hope the person who uploaded this is doing great in life and to whoever is reading this life gets better just be patient.
Greater love has no man than this ; that a man lay down his life for his friends,What an amazing scripture and what an amazing band is Flyleaf ***** John 15:13
I swear, on every single Flyleaf video there is there's always an argument in the comments about whether the song is related to Christianity or not. Guys music is interpreted differently by everyone so a song will mean something different to everyone. Just because an artist may have written a song about God or Jesus does not mean that that's the only way it can be interpreted. I myself am not Christian, but I still love Flyleaf
You can interpret them in both ways like so.. the religious way is that god/jesus gave up everything and we dont deserve it. The non- religious view point is that it might have been a loved one or in a different perspective like a warrior or soldier that saved her and it cost it that other persons life. There you go now you know how! :)
"Here I’m alive And I don’t have the right He gave me the right Costing him his life I believe What if I believe you now" It can't get much clearer than this

+Tony Walker I think it's changed for the better the music I listen to now is a lot of indie, R&B, trap, house, chill step, edm, jazz my music genres are very mixed I try to listen to as many as I can really, I even listen to the occasional classical and opera now and then but this type of music doesn't really interest me as it did when I was much younger
+UnicornCookieBubbles that,s good have you tried chior and if so have you heard of scala and the kolacny brother they make covers of songs and originals they are a great chior if you have the timevcheck them out
in all honesty the song is what you make it. Flyleaf is a religious band but i'm sure if the message to you isn't religious but still something about helping others or staying true then they are happy.
i'd like to say that, in my opinion, from my stand point, the God i believe in doesn't differ His love for anyone, no matter what the situation is. we all have the right to think and hold our own opinions, and although some may think their opinion is "right", or another's is "wrong", exercising that right is of little meaning to me. does it truly matter if our opinions are right? only to ourselves, and personally, i'm glad that many different people are enjoying this song. my God welcomes all.
I listen to bands considered Christian and I listen to some types of music and bands whom people prefer to assoicate with anti religion, sure it irks me to no end to see hateful and spite-filled words flung at people in the comments but I try to ignore it because I came to listen to music I enjoy (not the mainstream radio pop obsession) not to read comments from people who only wish to cause conflict with one another. So just enjoy this amazing band!
She adresses exactly the issue of not believing in him. Not believing that HE is the son of God, and God himself. I don't think there is a double meaning behind it. But you're right, either way, a great song ;)
that's one unfortunate guy. The words are so powerful. I do get the religious undertone in all of it, but I'm not certain it's proprietorially religious. The words are ambiguous, so I think it can also be up to interpretation. But even so, it's very beautifully and powerfully worded. As a non religious person, I can still appreciate that much.
+Elijah Finamore it's both, she is talking about Jesus, but she is also is talking about how before she was an Athiest before she became Christian. if you read her book she talks about how she was saved and before why she was an Athiest. she was angry at God when she was 10 because her step uncle killed her 3 year old cousin and she stayed that way until she was 16 when her grandma forced her to go to church. She wanted to kill herself but her pastor reached out And spoke to her and she life to Christ that day.
I love this song so much. I was in church one day and the pastor was talking about how god does things for us and we dont belive him and i automatically thought of this song. This song changed my perspecitive about god.
This song has alot of truth in many ways. It means alot for different people. That's why I like flyleaf, they can make good music and they can have emotional meaning behind it.
actually a Captain going in a mission. His wife had a dark past so she thought he was cheating on her so she followed him so a secret place and she confronted him screaming. When he tried to calm her she fled. Though he wasn't cheating. She was nearly out of his sight when his enemy soliders came and seized her. The Captain Shouted "let her go! Take Me!" And he died in her place because he love her more than his own life.AND the wife finally knew for the 1st time she was loved.
i literally just woke up from my dream and the last i saw / remember was lacey saying circles encircles the earth then then young garra destroying the earth with a planetary sand coffin and then it showed his hand closing relesing the justu upon the earth .
You can interpret it in whatever way you want. I just wanted to point out that I'm pretty sure that Flyleaf is looking at it from the Christians perspective, and they probably didn't think about another perspective just to make it enjoyable for atheists or other religions. Of course I cannot be certain about this, you'd have to ask them yourself :P Cheers

There is no era called flyleaf after her lol she was flyleaf

no man shows greater love then when a man lays down his life for his beloved..best lyrics in the song
The words of Christ himself.

Yes they are a christian band the lyrics are 99.9% about their faith and yes they are awesome not every christian is boring people!. Flyleaf rocks COME TO MIAMI!!!!!
I've heard of Flyleaf but never checked them out before. This song is so good!
I forgot how shook up this song made me when I was younger
Thank you Jesus for laying down your life for me.
2020 and still listening to this. ❤
This song brings back so many memories from the 00's
This vid was uploaded 11 years ago. I till this day come and listen to this beautiful song. I hope the person who uploaded this is doing great in life and to whoever is reading this life gets better just be patient.
how I miss Flyleaf doing this kind music...
Gave me chills. Seriously beautiful song.
Greater love has no man than this ; that a man lay down his life for his friends,What an amazing scripture and what an amazing band is Flyleaf *****
John 15:13
This song made me cry because it reminds me what Jesus has done for us
I am still an agnostic theist, but this song is still very powerful to me. Makes me want to question my beliefs.
I swear, on every single Flyleaf video there is there's always an argument in the comments about whether the song is related to Christianity or not. Guys music is interpreted differently by everyone so a song will mean something different to everyone. Just because an artist may have written a song about God or Jesus does not mean that that's the only way it can be interpreted. I myself am not Christian, but I still love Flyleaf
i love this song i listen to it everyday! this song is the best
This song is so strong and at the same time beautiful.
You can interpret them in both ways like so..
the religious way is that god/jesus gave up everything and we dont deserve it.
The non- religious view point is that it might have been a loved one or in a different perspective like a warrior or soldier that saved her and it cost it that other persons life.
There you go now you know how! :)
I know this comment is old, but It's still about JESUS!!!!!
The way Lacy sings this song with such emotion and power. Then at the end I can hear her voice trembling like she's crying. So powerful!
"Here I’m alive
And I don’t have the right
He gave me the right
Costing him his life
I believe
What if I believe you now"
It can't get much clearer than this
I love this song so much!! I wish lacey was still in flyleaf ;(
😢😢😢😭😭😭 Why did he do it? Why does he love us so much? I dont deserve him...
None of us do... That's the whole point... :(
I liked the sound of this song in high school yet I laughed at the fact that people thought a man in the sky created us. I was a total atheist. 7 years later, of pain and struggle, and I’ve been born again through Christ. Heard this song today and bawled for an hour. I feel so much guilt for ever not believing in the one that gave his life to give me the right to live. I am so grateful he’s given me a second chance ❤️
-No man shows greater love, Than when a man lays down his life, for his beloved
Wow I haven't listened to this band in so many years my music taste has changed drastically but I'm gonna admit this song is still good 😂😂😂
do you think it,s changed for better or worst can you name a few genres you listen to now
+Tony Walker I think it's changed for the better the music I listen to now is a lot of indie, R&B, trap, house, chill step, edm, jazz my music genres are very mixed I try to listen to as many as I can really, I even listen to the occasional classical and opera now and then but this type of music doesn't really interest me as it did when I was much younger
+UnicornCookieBubbles that,s good have you tried chior and if so have you heard of scala and the kolacny brother they make covers of songs and originals they are a great chior if you have the timevcheck them out
+Tony Walker I'll give them a listen!
+UnicornCookieBubbles ok tell me what you think of them ?
her voice gives me goosebumps ❤️
love the song..may God bless them for such awsome lyrics
in all honesty the song is what you make it. Flyleaf is a religious band but i'm sure if the message to you isn't religious but still something about helping others or staying true then they are happy.
It's strange how many people say that they would sacrifice themselves to save their beloved, when in reality they would become frozen by death.
i'd like to say that, in my opinion, from my stand point, the God i believe in doesn't differ His love for anyone, no matter what the situation is. we all have the right to think and hold our own opinions, and although some may think their opinion is "right", or another's is "wrong", exercising that right is of little meaning to me. does it truly matter if our opinions are right? only to ourselves, and personally, i'm glad that many different people are enjoying this song. my God welcomes all.
i used to think no one understood me and no love me but all that change when i was intorduce to god.
I’ll never forget how much I was in love with this song 5 years ago
gotta listen to this with the volume blasted
me too imma blow out my ears soon lol
I love the ending..
Why?
Cause it's almost over?
Haha
I listen to bands considered Christian and I listen to some types of music and bands whom people prefer to assoicate with anti religion, sure it irks me to no end to see hateful and spite-filled words flung at people in the comments but I try to ignore it because I came to listen to music I enjoy (not the mainstream radio pop obsession) not to read comments from people who only wish to cause conflict with one another. So just enjoy this amazing band!
:D i luv this song and the video good job!
Favorite song by Flyleaf ever. I been listening to them since I was so little. Now coming back to this song..Ahhh it is so deep. love it♥
Sam Says Favourite*
@honeylion07 No, dear.. It's Favorite. LOL
This is now my favourite song of flyleaf!
I CAN'T stop hitting replay.
She adresses exactly the issue of not believing in him.
Not believing that HE is the son of God, and God himself.
I don't think there is a double meaning behind it.
But you're right, either way, a great song ;)
Exactly shows the pain of not believing and not realizing what he went through and why he went through it
Oh my apples i love it
lmao oh my apples
Where did I hear that before?
apples lmaoooo
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS COMMENT! I WAS LIKE 12 WHEN I MADE THIS
I'm 18 now
This song is so powerful. I love Lacey's use of emotion. It's a sad and angry tone. Words cannot describe.
Love this song...
This is a perfect song for resurection day such a beautiful song
this is my fav song!
No matter how many years have passed... this song always makes me cry. God is great
Oh man....im speechless.....first time I heard this song....its beautiful
that's one unfortunate guy. The words are so powerful. I do get the religious undertone in all of it, but I'm not certain it's proprietorially religious. The words are ambiguous, so I think it can also be up to interpretation. But even so, it's very beautifully and powerfully worded. As a non religious person, I can still appreciate that much.
I can see how it MIGHT be non religious possibly, but as a Christian it really sounds like she's talking about Jesus.
+Elijah Finamore it's both, she is talking about Jesus, but she is also is talking about how before she was an Athiest before she became Christian. if you read her book she talks about how she was saved and before why she was an Athiest. she was angry at God when she was 10 because her step uncle killed her 3 year old cousin and she stayed that way until she was 16 when her grandma forced her to go to church. She wanted to kill herself but her pastor reached out And spoke to her and she life to Christ that day.
very good response. most people, including myself, don't get the facts before making comments. the song is for sure about Jesus!!.
+My Animation that's actually an amazing story.
lightningshock12 u will burn in hell
Awesome! This song make me think, how He love us... =(
Finaly someone who knows the lyrics !!!
its so sad i fell like crying
So powerful.
Like theese with the lyrics, God that's beautiful right at start, wow
Memento Mori is so underrated
my second favourite song on Memento Mori (:
I love this song so much. I was in church one day and the pastor was talking about how god does things for us and we dont belive him and i automatically thought of this song. This song changed my perspecitive about god.
No dislikes. I LOVE this :)
Flyleaf is the best band ever. Hands down. (: I went to their concert and it was the most amazing experience.
This song has alot of truth in many ways. It means alot for different people. That's why I like flyleaf, they can make good music and they can have emotional meaning behind it.
Damn this song was my jam back then
nothing breaks u more when a girl doesnt believe u n then only when its to late do they realize it that u did love them
Isn’t it amazing how you can interpret this beautiful piece of art.
Flyleaf was the best Christian band. Literally majority of those other bands went secular in one way or the other. Flyleaf didn't fake what they were.
I love the end of this song but not because it's over. It's because of her silent voice.
this just gave me major goosebumps and i almost cried. but i love it
actually a Captain going in a mission. His wife had a dark past so she thought he was cheating on her so she followed him so a secret place and she confronted him screaming. When he tried to calm her she fled. Though he wasn't cheating. She was nearly out of his sight when his enemy soliders came and seized her. The Captain Shouted "let her go! Take Me!" And he died in her place because he love her more than his own life.AND the wife finally knew for the 1st time she was loved.
i literally just woke up from my dream and the last i saw / remember was lacey saying circles encircles the earth then then young garra destroying the earth with a planetary sand coffin and then it showed his hand closing relesing the justu upon the earth .
I absolutely love this song
You can interpret it in whatever way you want.
I just wanted to point out that I'm pretty sure that Flyleaf is looking at it from the Christians perspective, and they probably didn't think about another perspective just to make it enjoyable for atheists or other religions.
Of course I cannot be certain about this, you'd have to ask them yourself :P
Cheers
Well, this reminds me of deathly hallows. Like just freaking everyone in the books/movies.
