Burn Out Brighter (Northern Lights)
10/18/08 at 10:02 PM by Jonathan Bautts | So late last night I was able to interview Anberlin vocalist Stephen Christian a second time. Despite battling laryngitis, he put on a dynamite show and was nice enough to still do the interview, further proving why he's one of my favorite people ever and an incredible human being. In honor of their album New Surrender being one of the best of 2008 and Stephen's general awesomeness, here's the lyrics to one of my favorite songs from it, which is a great one to live life by.
Live, I want to live inspired
Die, I want to die for something
Racing towards the heavens
I fell into a pitch black
I'm moments from landing and I'm
Shaking like a heart attack
Is there time?
Can I turn back?
I made mistakes in the past
Need a chance
Can't say goodbye
Wish I could set things right tonight
Live, I want to live inspired
Die, I want to die for something
Higher than myself
Live and die for anyone else
The more I live I see
This life's not about me
All I know spins out of control
Wonder what's next for a hardened soul
Nothing I earned can save me now
Here in what may be my final hour
Is there time?
Can I turn back?
I made mistakes, well, in the past
Need a chance
Can't say goodbye
Wish I could set things right tonight
Live, I want to live inspired
Die, I want to die for something
Higher than myself
Live and die for anyone else
The more I live I see
This life's not about me
Don't want to leave this world
Knowing I breathed in vain
Looked out for myself
So sorry, so ashamed
Don't want to leave this life
Knowing I barely tried
To chase down all my dreams
That I hid away on the inside
Live, I want to live on fire
Die, I want to burn out brighter
Brighter than the northern lights
Want to live to feel the daylight
The more I give I see
This life's not about me | |
