No Picture Jack Average	#1 by Jack Tweddell at Aug 26, 1978 at 11:14 AM EST
	its about the people who try to avoid things like pain, love, and death. I liked the Allusion from the romeo and juliet balcony scene...in romeo and juliet Juliet asks romeo how he got here and he says "with heavens white wings did i approach these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out" but thrice says "with HELLS BLACK wings did i approach these walls, for stony limits cannot hold ME out" I think we all know that thrice kicks ass and deserves to own the world.

	Who cares. Music is music. Thrice is awesome. If christians want to think of the lyrics in that sense, then why not let them? It'll give them somethings to think about, while it's giving non-christians other things to think about. That's the power of it.

No Picture Adam Wanna Be	#3 by Adam Spinelli at Sep 20, 1978 at 8:49 AM EST
	Hate to burst your bubble, but while Thrice is not a christian band(proclaims the name of Christ in the music), The writer of the lyrics, Dustin, IS a huge follower, and his struggles with it are dealt in the lyrics. What makes it not Christian rock is the fact that it's just part of his life, and he deals with his life with lyrics, instead of using the music as a way of worship

No Picture One of the chil Average	#4 by One of the children of the KoRn at Nov 22, 1981 at 8:23 AM EST
	This song is adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Masque of the Red Death"...read it...it definitely is a great short story...

No Picture Daniel Wanna Be	#5 by Daniel Phillips at Aug 11, 1983 at 9:12 PM EST
	Okay all you people who are arguing that this song is a christian song or this song is not a christian song or it's about love, hate, escaping the truth, or whatever else you think it's about, you're wrong. As 1000thoughtsdecline said 3 times, the song was adapted from the poem "Masque of the Red Death" written by Edgar Allan Poe. Read that poem and you'll understand what this song is about.

No Picture Rodrigo Wanna Be	#7 by Rodrigo Pogo Punker at Feb 1, 1995 at 8:06 AM EST
	man... i have always associated the term 'christian rock' with 'annoying rock'... ridiculously untalented mtv 'artists' such as p.o.d., michelle branch & lifehouse make a mockery of some of the most potent material the world has ever dealt with, ie, the power of religion and its role in society. i have only recently discovered thrice, and i have been completely, 100 percent impressed. their music not only makes me want to jump around and scream, it engages my intellect... something very few bands have done, and certainly something that no christian band has ever done before. songs like 'the red death,' 'a subtle dagger,' 'betrayal is a symptom,' 'deadbolt,' and 'where idols once stood' take on the topic of the symptoms of immorality and their consequences, with remarkable lyrical poignance and musicianship. i am not christian, but i have great respect for those who represent their faith with such brilliance, and especially those who do so with music so transcendental of our unfortunately diminishing expectations, that it helps us to at least 'see the light' of what music can and should be.
