being let down is actually a blessing in disguise |
the beautiful letdown I'm a big fan of switchfoot, an alternative rock band. It was a pleasant surprise when I came to know that they are actually a christian band though their music reaches out to everyone regardless of faith. There is this really cool number of their's called 'the beautiful letdown' and I really loved the message it brings about. It's just about how when you're down, when you've lost eveything- it's only then you're truly yourself. For me it's only then I take God seriously, realize his powers and then talk to him with the love and respect that he deserves. And thats why a letdown is so beautiful. It's then you're stripped of everything and you become humble,meek. I guess that's when you can experience that great power out there. just close your eyes and think and you'll feel that a letdown is so beautiful. anyways, here are the lyrics- It was a beautiful letdown When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone, unknown and hurt It was a beautiful letdown The day I knew, That all the riches this world had to offer me will never do. In a world full of bitter pain, and bitter doubts, I was trying so hard to fit in, Fit in, until I found out I don't belong here (I don't belong) I don't belong here (I don't belong) I will carry a cross and a song Where I don't belong I don't belong It was a beautiful letdown When you found me here Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon I see everything clear I'll be a beautiful letdown That's what I'll forever be And though it may cost my soul I'll sing for free We're still chasing our tails In the rising sun In our dark water planet still spinning In a direction no one wins No one's won. See, I don't belong here (I don't belong) Well, I don't belong here, I don't belong I will carry a cross With a song where I don't belong I don't belong I don't belong here (I don't belong) No, I don't belong here, I don't belong I'm gonna set side And set sail For the kingdom come, kingdom come Your kingdom come Won't you let me down, yeah Let my foolish pride forever let me down Ah, Easy living, you're not much like the name Easy dying, you look just about the same Would you please take me off your list Easy living please c'mon and let me down We are a beautiful letdown Painfully uncool The church of the dropouts The losers, the sinners, the failures, and the fools What a beautiful letdown Are we salt in the wound Hey, let us sing one true tune I don't belong here (I don't belong) It feels like I don't belong here, yeah It goes like I don't belong here I don't belong (I don't belong) Won't you let me down (I don't belong) C'mon and let me down (I don't belong) You always let me down (I don't belong) So glad that I'm let down (I don't belong) C'mon and let me down (I don't belong) Cuz I don't belong here Won't you let me down! ---------------------------------------------- hope you liked it. please beleive in miracles love priyasha |
