Relient K Philosophy

Relient K has recently popped up on the radar of my life. I think i like listening to their songs so much not just because i enjoy the style of music, but because i feel like they might be telling the story of my life (only from odd angles).

They, without a doubt, have better lyrics than anyone else i've ever listened to.

1. They are witty and clever (exa: "Wits All Been Done Before")
2. Spiritually Relevant (exa: "For the Moments I Feel Faint")
3. and I can relate to them easily (exa: "Over Thinking")

The writers are very poetic and honest about life's valleys and summits, wins and losses, and how to be both serious and ridiculous. They've written songs about important stuff (God), unimportant stuff (girls), and everything in between.

The following was the first song of theirs i really loved. It never loses relevance in my life, and probably won't in yours. It is a song about looking forward... keeping the faith... pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere

We're on to something good here

Out of mind, out of state

Trying to keep my head on straight

I think we're going somewhere

We're on to something good here

There's only one thing left to do

Drop all i have and go with you

Somewhere back there i left my worries all behind

My problems fell out of the back of my mind

We're going and i'm never knowing

(Never knowing) where we're going

To back to where i was would just be wrong

I'm pressing on, I'm pressing on

All my distress is going, going, gone

(Pressing on, pressing on)

And i won't sit back and take this anymore

Cuz I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door

And to go back to where i was would just be wrong

I'm pressing on

I think we're going somewhere

We're on to something good here

Out of mind, out of state

Trying to keep my head on straight

I think we're going somewhere

We're on to something good here

Adversity, we get around it

Searched for joy, in you I found it

Somewhere back there i left my worries all behind

My problems fell out of the back of my mind

We're going and i'm never knowing

(Never knowing) where we're going

To back to where i was would just be wrong

I'm pressing on, I'm pressing on

All my distress is going, going, gone

(Pressing on, pressing on)

And i won't sit back and take this anymore

Cuz I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door

And to go back to where i was would just be wrong

I'm pressing on

You look down on me but you don't look down on me at all

You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me

I think we're going somewhere

And we're on to something good here

We're gonna to make it after all
