Originally rising to fame as lead singer in the Christian rock band, Messenger, formed in 2010, he became a favorite during the early auditions of American Idol. Dixon auditioned in the tenth season, along with his sister Schyler, at the Nashville auditions. However, neither of them ended up in the Top 24. After he was sent home, Dixon performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 3, 2011.
Dixon returned in season 11, however he did not plan to audition, initially planning to merely accompany his sister Schyler to her audition. The judges implored Dixon to audition as well, where he sang David Cook's "Permanent". Both he and Schyler were awarded golden tickets. Schyler was cut yet again during the Las Vegas round, which brought him to tears.
On February 23, 2012, Dixon was placed in the season 11 Top 25. In the semi-finals, he performed Paramore's "Decode". He was one of the top five male vote getters and advanced into the Top 13.
Limitless
Colton Dixon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too shy, too bold
Too average
To make a difference
The world's too big
And you're too small
If you try to fly
You're gonna fall
But we won't listen
We are limitless, limitless
Limitless, limitless
The power of love
Alive in us
Is limitless, limitless
Unstoppable and nothing less
No nothing can hold us down
We're limitless
No more impossible
So much far too difficult, we know
that our God is greater
Oh wake up you dreamers
Become make-believers
This is who we are
We are limitless, limitless
Limitless, limitless
The power of love
Alive in us
Is limitless, limitless
Unstoppable and nothing less
No nothing can hold us down
We are limitless
Take away the limitations
When we fix our eyes on You
Flood our hearts with expectations
Lord, there's nothing You can't do
Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars
Love be the light inside of our hearts
Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars
Love be the light inside of our hearts
We are limitless, limitless
Limitless, limitless
The power of love
Alive in us
Is limitless, limitless
Unstoppable and nothing less
No nothing can hold us down
'Cause we are limitless
Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars
Love be the light inside of our hearts (We are limitless)
Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars
We're limitless
'Cause You're limitless

This song caught my ear at the bridge, about three weeks ago "Fear sees a ceiling; hope sees the stars." I have a virtual sticky note on my desktop with that line so I always see it. I love this song, so so so much.

This song has really comforted me.Yesterday I had a tennis match and I played very badly!
I am very passionate about tennis and yesterday's match literally broke my heart. It's been 2 and a half years since I have started playing tennis and after yesterday's match I thought that I had wasted 2 and a half years of my life. But this song lifted my spirit up!
I was like-With God on my side I have much more to achieve! I can't let the devil smile! I am LIMITLESS!!
