I've heard Scott say (on some live concert songs I've downloaded) that when he writes songs, it's kind of like he's looking in a mirror and writing the lyrics to himself. That the words are a reflection of what he's going through or trying to figure out. And yes, their songs aren't the "life is peachy" message because, let's face it, life is full of ups and downs. But I know I also find in almost every song, word(s) of strength, faith, hope or fight. That's one thing that I love about their lyrics. Even when times are hard, there's hope there and I think that's a great thing to remember and hold onto. Just offering my opinion.

In WGMB - all that's been devastated can be recreated

DSD - Although I hurt I must be strong because inside I know that many feel this way (the message that we're not alone in what we go through during hard times)

Weathered - Believe what you will, that is your right, but I choose to win, I choose to Fight, to FIGHT!!
