Creed is an American rock band from Tallahassee, Florida formed in 1994. Creed was prominent in the post-grunge movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing three consecutive multi-platinum albums; their second, Human Clay (1999), received diamond (11x platinum) certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Creed has sold over 28 million records in the United States, has sold over 53 million albums worldwide, and was the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s.
For most of its existence, the band has consisted of lead vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist and vocalist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips. Creed's first two studio albums, My Own Prison (1997) and Human Clay (1999), were released to commercial success despite unfavorable critical reception; Marshall left the band in 2000. Human Clay remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and contained the Billboard Hot 100 number one single "With Arms Wide Open"—which also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The band's third album, Weathered, was released in 2001, with Tremonti on bass guitar. Creed disbanded in 2004; Stapp pursued a solo career while Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips founded the band Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy.
Creed reunited in 2009, releasing their fourth album Full Circle and performing several tours before separating again in 2012. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed reunited once more in July 2023 and announced their headlining of the Summer of '99 cruise festival in April 2024.

2. Creed was formed in 1977 by vocalist Steve Ingle and guitarist Luther Maben. Enlisting the services of Hal Butler (keyboards), James Flynn (bass), and Chip Thomas (drums), they were soon signed by Asylum Records. Their self-titled debut appeared in 1978 and was notable for "Time and Time Again," an epic southern-style guitar workout, comparable in stature to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird." Unable to attract enough media attention, the band split up shortly after the album's release.

3. There is also a German Christian metal band called Creed. They have released at least one album called "Sign of Victory" on the Pure Metal label in 1992.

Creed Lyrics

Who do you serve
Took for granted what you, should have preserved
No time left, no time left, to make amends
Keep burning bridges while you're buying your new friends
A day of reflection hits, you're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs
Is it worth your soul
A day of reflection hits
It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes
The pain fade away
So important then, doesn't matter now
Both feet on the ground
Come full circle, yeah, come full circle
No access granted now boy, you've been denied
Jump a fence to see what's on the other side
Are you wanted, are you wanted
The question is, could second chances mean another impression
A day of reflection hits, your you're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs
Is it worth your soul
A day of reflection hits
It's funny how times can change, rearrange, and distance makes
The pain fade away
So important then, doesn't matter now
Both feet on the ground
Come full circle, we've come full circle
I got one foot stuck in heaven, yeah
One boot stuck in hell
I looked at God, he winked at me
I made this mess myself
Don't be surprised and don't deny
Hear every word I say
Close the door and don't look back or you will fade away
It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes
The pain fade away
It's funny how times can change, rearrange and distance makes
The pain fade away
So important then, doesn't matter now
Both feet on the ground
Come full circle, full circle, come full circle
We have come, full circle
The song "Full Circle" by Creed is about reflection and taking a second chance to make things right. The first stanza talks about a person who has gained their freedom, but has been burning bridges and taking things for granted. The lyrics "No time left, no time left, to make amends" implies that they do not have enough time left to fix the bridges they have burned. Later in the song, the lyrics "Are you wanted, are you wanted, the question is" question if the person is wanted, but the real question that the person seeks to answer is whether second chances can mean another impression. The song’s central theme revolves around getting a second chance, reflecting on past actions, and making things right before it’s too late.
In the chorus, Creed speaks on how times can change and shows that there is a realization that things that were once very important are not so essential to them anymore. The line "Both feet on the ground" shows an understanding of reality, while the line "Come full circle" indicates that things have come back around to the beginning where they started. The lyrics in the second stanza, "I got one foot stuck in heaven, yeah, One boot stuck in hell. I looked at God, he winked at me, I made this mess myself" implies that the singer is looking for answers that he can only get from himself.

Hear every word I say
Close the door and don't look back or you will fade away
You're warning others to listen to your advice and move on
Come full circle, we've come full circle
We've all come full circle, facing the same problems again

The whole full circle album has grown in me over the years

If you haven't, you should try Alterbridge, which is Creed's band with a different singer. Instrumentally, I feel like Alterbridge gets after it more with lots of guitar solos. Creed I think was handcuffed to be like the bands of their era. Full Circle was what I always wanted Creed to be.

This is a great song that I just heard today from my beloved Creed! Thank you for being you and creating a legend! Grafted from Kazakhstan!
@vickiemarshall8579
You have been part of my life for 23 years. So glad to hear your music. All of you have a gift and thanks for sharing with us.

When I heard that Creed was putting out another album that would be all the songs they never used (because Scott Stapp lost his voice) I had low expectations. I listened to this album and was disappointed. I revisited it and have it a god listen and it is actually another solid outing by them. A big shame Creed disbanded.
@tudorverde
One of the best rock songs!
@cadeevans4623
Great album
