1. Pillar is composed of Rob Beckley (vocals), Lester Estelle Jr.(drums), Noah Henson (guitar), and Michael "Kalel" Wittig (bass). These Christian rockers with an alt-metal edge have been honing their infectious sound since 1998 while attending Ft. Hays State University in northwestern Kansas. A deal with Flicker was inked in 2000 after the band's self-released debut, Metamorphosis, impressed the label. Within months, Pillar followed things up with Above. Their first single, "Open Your Eyes," was popular on the college charts, earning Above nearly 60,000 in sales. Pillar also earned the Best Rock Band award at the annual Dove Awards in 2001.
A year later, Pillar relocated to Tulsa, OK, and released Fireproof. MCA picked up the band and reissued the energetic sophomore effort in 2003. However, MCA shut down shortly thereafter and Pillar returned to Flicker, and released their next album, Where Do We Go From Here, in 2004.
In 2005, Joey "Cinco" Avalos, formerly of Christian rock trio Justifide, was added as a second guitar player. He was never an official member of the band, and only played live shows. He no longer does, as he is playing in the newly started band "Stars Go Dim".
In Pillar's 2006 release, The Reckoning, the band stays true to their style while experimenting with new sounds. Pillar was nominated for the "Best Rock/Rap Gospel Album" Grammy with this album.
On Pillar's fifth album, For The Love Of The Game, frontman Rob Beckley says this:
“We get to say that we play rock ‘n roll for a living. We get to see lives changed. We have a renewed love and focus. With that in mind, making For the Love of the Game was very fun, and very fluent; it just came out. We went into the studio knowing what the album was going to be called and we were able to carry the vision through. We wanted to have a positive, bright, fun sounding record. That was our intent from the beginning. We trust that as people hear this record, God will use it to change lives. That’’s the ultimate fuel for our fire. When someone tells us, ‘‘your music changed my marriage, or brought me closer to God,’ that’s when we know God is using our music, and that’’s what it’s all about to us.” ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Pillar's sixth album, "Confessions," was released on September 22, 2009, claiming to show an evolved style but at the same time sticking close to the formula developed in For The Love Of The Game.
2. Pillar was a band that consisted of Dave Walker, who would later on do vocals for Harvest and Krakatoa, and Justin Kane, who would go on to drum for Disembodied and Martyr AD. Not much is known of Pillar other then a demo released in 1993, which was produced by Cad Dziewior (Threadbare, 108, Judas Factor, etc.)
3. Pillar was an emo band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Released their full length "Everyone is as Terrified as You Are" in 2001.

Pillar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since then, so much has changed
I'm still the same man that I was before
Knowing that I can be without anything scares me away from being alone
Now, that I know what's going on
I can look back and see You
And I made You wait, as I turned away
Just pass me by, I could see You
If I could rewind, I'd take back the lies
And all of those times I hurt You
I don't know if I'll ever know exactly how much that I hurt You
Knowing that hurts me everyday
If I could rewind, I would take it away
And not make You wait, and I won't walk away
I want to take back all those lies
I want to take back all those times
I want to show You with my life that I'm here for You
The song "Rewind" by Pillar is a reflective song about the singer's regrets and wanting to go back in time to change his past mistakes. The song begins with the acknowledgement that so much has changed since the singer first heard God call his name, but that he himself is still the same man as before. He confesses that the idea of being alone scares him, and that he realizes now that he turned away from God even as God waited for him patiently. The singer then expresses his desire to go back in time and watch his life pass by, so that he could see God in every moment, and take back all the lies and hurt that he caused God.
The chorus of the song, repeating the phrase "If I could rewind", emphasizes the singer's intense longing to undo his past mistakes and make things right with God. He recognizes that he hurt God, but also acknowledges the pain that the knowledge of his mistakes causes himself every day. The verses and chorus combined create a powerful emotional resonance that captures the regret that many feel when looking back at their lives and wishing they had made different choices. The song ultimately expresses a message of hope that it is never too late to turn things around and show God that we are here for Him.

It seems just like yesterday was the first time that I heard You call my name
It was not long ago when I first heard You call my name, and it feels like it was only yesterday
Since then, so much has changed
A lot of things have happened since then
I'm still the same man that I was before
Despite everything that has happened, I have not changed as a person
Knowing that I can be without anything scares me away from being alone
The realization that I am self-sufficient and do not need anything or anyone scares me from being alone
Now, that I know what's going on
Now that I understand the situation
I can look back and see You
I can see You now when I look back
And I made You wait, as I turned away
I turned my back on You and made You wait for me
If I could rewind, watch all my life
If I had the power to go back in time and see my life again
Just pass me by, I could see You
I would be able to see You as my life passes by

If I could go back, I would take back all the lies I told
And all of those times I hurt You
And all the times I caused You pain

I am not certain if I will ever know the extent of the pain I caused You
Knowing that hurts me everyday
The knowledge of how much I hurt You pains me every day

If I could go back, I would undo my actions
And not make You wait, and I won't walk away
I would never make You wait for me or turn my back on You again
I want to take back all those lies
I want to repent for all the lies I told
I want to take back all those times
I want to undo all the harm I caused You
I want to show You with my life that I'm here for You
I want to prove to You through my actions that I am here for You
