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.

3. Pillar was an emo band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Released their full length "Everyone is as Terrified as You Are" in 2001.
Secrets And Regrets
Pillar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't make the clock rewind to the moment that you lied to yourself
It never really mattered how they felt
Your secrets and regrets are keeping you from going very far
And you can't let all this get you down and keep you living in the dark
Cause all you're looking for
Is love
You just can't get enough
Your secrets and regrets
Your holding on to all this pain
Can't seem to leave it all behind you
Tomorrow it'll be today soon
Don't wait until it's too late to move
Your secrets and regrets are keeping you from
going very far and you can't let this get
you down and keep you living in the dark
You're living in the dark
You just can't get enough
Your secrets and regrets
How many times do you need second chances
Not everybody gets a another second chance
(how many times do you need second chances, not everybody gets another)
Chance!
Second chance
Your secrets and regrets are keeping you
from going very far and you can't let all
this get you down and keep you living in
the dark cause all you're looking for
Is love
You're living in the dark
You just can't get enough
Your secrets and regrets
No more secrets
(no regrets)
No more secrets
(no regrets)
No living in the dark
The lyrics to Pillar's song Secrets And Regrets emphasize the danger of keeping secrets and holding onto regrets.

The final lines "no more secrets, no regrets, no living in the dark" serve as a powerful reminder to let go of the past and embrace the present.
