Hi. I'm Matt (14) and I was surfing the web when I saw your thread. I think it's pretty cool you do these kinda' threads. Anyways, I'm the vocalist for my band, Sounds of a Silent Mind. We're an agressive heavy-metal, medalic core christian band. (And I wince when I saw "Christian, because I know there's so many posers out there....)When I say christian, I mean hardcore christian. As in all of our songs are meant to spread the good word, give testimonies, prayers, and political messeges. We're not just a "spiritual" band. (P.O.D.'s 2nd album, for example.)
This one of our songs titled "What was I Thinking." The song's meaning isn't that hard to figure out, but if there's anything confusing please e-mail me!!!! (And if you reply to this, then could you contact me so I know? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for your time!!!)




WHAT WAS I THINKING
written by Matt Marnocha, performed by Sounds of a Silent Mind

Those tainted trees
At cavalry
Long ago
Were meant for me

You shed your life
To shelter mine
And all I returned
was hollow, empty lies

pre-chorus
those nail-scarred hands
took my past
and replaced it
with a peace that will always last

chorus:
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
Who did I fool?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
whose strings were whose?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
who did I fool?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
staining the pure

I remember that crown of thorns
that pierced your brow
And if it wasn’t for you
I’d be wearing it now

How I will sing
when I see your face
Because you came into
this unholy place

pre-chorus
those nail-scarred hands
took my past
and replaced it
with a peace that will always last

chorus:
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
Who did I fool?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
whose strings were whose?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
who did I fool?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
staining the pure

Can’t let my life be exposed
can’t let my life be exposed
can’t let my life be exposed
can’t let my weakness show

what was I thinking
what was I thinking
what was I thinking
who did I fool?

chorus:
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
Who did I fool?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
whose strings were whose?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
who did I fool?
What was I thinking (what was I thinking)
staining the pure
