During the band's hiatus, Jason Vena is apparently currently working for his family's business in Mercer Island, Washington. Kaylan Cloyd has joined Ryan Van Wieringen and Bobby Darling of Gatsby's American Dream to form Search/Rescue. The band released their debut album The Compound in 2007. Nick Radovanovic, Christian McAlhaney, and Kyle Flynn started a band called Thunder Thunder with Jerrod Bettis. Their current status is unknown due to McAlhaney's commitment with Anberlin.
The Letter
Acceptance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't point the finger
Choose the winner
Hold your own
It's never been always
Who's the liar
I'm the coward
The letter read like this
Of all the sinners I walk before
I can't deny
Somehow you're seeing it
So you're the one who took the fall
And it's bringing us together
Don't ask me why
Somehow I'm seeing blue
And I'm breaking after all
This could last forever
The choice has always been
To take advantage
Ride it to the top
Still I'm caught again
I see this coming
See this coming Through
Of all the sinners I walk before
I can't deny
Somehow you're seeing it
So you're the one who took the fall
And it's bringing us together
Don't ask me why
Some how I'm seeing blue
And I'm breaking after all
This could last forever
We'll see if I start coming clean
You'll see that I'm still missing
I can't deny
Somehow you're seeing it
So you're the one who took the fall
And it's bringing us together
Don't ask me why
Somehow I'm seeing blue
The opening lines of Acceptance's song 'The Letter' showcase the singer's vulnerability and sensitivity. He takes criticism to heart, and instead of blaming others, he chooses to focus on self-improvement. The chorus speaks about the consequences of one's actions and how they affect others. The singer acknowledges his flaws and the wrong choices he has made in the past, and now he sees the blue (cold?) truth behind his actions. The repeated lines 'you're the one who took the fall, and it's bringing us together' highlight the theme of redemption through forgiveness and acceptance.
The song's lyrics convey the emotions of remorse, self-reflection, and the effort to make amends. The repeated reference to 'sinners' gives the sense that the singer is burdened by guilt and is seeking absolution. The line 'we'll see if I start coming clean' suggests that the singer feels that confessing his mistakes and seeking forgiveness is necessary for his own redemption. The lyrics take a positive turn towards the end as the singer reconciles with his past actions and takes responsibility for them.

One of my favorite songs from Acceptance.

This is my favorite song on this album because it’s just so honest. This is what it means to be in love with the idea a person you think you love.
