Officially forming in 2006, FTF merges the sounds of Metallica-like heavy guitar riffs with the melodic open, filling sound of modern rock acts such as Breaking Benjamin, Sevendust, Seether and Alter Bridge. FTF has always been a musical force in one way or another, consisting of Drew Bell whose vocal leads are raspy & raw and his guitar playing is full of ripping riff-rock guitar licks only to be complimented by the aggressive rock-style drumming of Gabe Higgins, and of coarse the lineup wouldn't be complete without the phenomenal bass playing of Derek Fair carrying the low end. This lineup brings a highly energetic vibe as well as a high level of musicianship and comrade-re. FTF isn't afraid of putting themselves on the hard rock front lines: their lyrics are permeated with brutal honesty. The guys, as individuals, use FTF as their vehicle to deliver their fiery vision with a vibrant passion.

You Never Know
From This Fire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every single day you feel
The crushing emptiness
And you're sick of everyone's self-rightousness

It's grave what you've become, wishing you could be someone else

You never know the love that waits for you
The one that loves you so

(You never know)
You never know the love that waits for you
Oh, you never know

You feel the world turn away, from who you really are
The loneliness is killing you and you're drifting to far

It's grave what you've become, wishing you could be someone else

You never know the love that waits for you
The one that loves you so
(You never know)
You never know the love that waits for you
The grace he has to show
You never

When will you know?

Oh save me tonight, you cry
'Cause this life isn't worth it
Rescue me from myself
I can't take this anymore
Anymore
Anymore

You never know the love that waits for you
The one that loves you so
(You never know)
You never know the love that waits for you
The grace he has to show

You never know the love that waits for you
The one that loves you so
(You never know)
You never know the love that waits for you
The grace he has to show

You never know
