From there, the band would continue to rise in the charts. In 2007, they released their fifth full-length, The Flame in All of Us, which was produced by Ken Andrews (Beck, Chris Cornell, Pete Yorn). Arriving in 2009, the aggressive Welcome to the Masquerade, which would be the band's last release with Tooth & Nail, entered the Billboard Top 200 at number 35, peaking at number two on the Christian rock chart. It was their most successful album to date and would spawn the band's first live album, Live at the Masquerade. The group's next studio album, The End Is Where We Begin, was issued in 2012. It was their first album released entirely independently. Continuing the upward chart trajectory with each subsequent release, The End debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, and claimed the top spots on both the hard rock and Christian charts. In late 2013, the band released Made in Canada: The 1998-2010 Collection, which included two new tracks. Thousand Foot Krutch remained independent into 2014, relying on crowd-sourcing for the release of the energetic Oxygen: Inhale, the first part of a pair of hard rock chart-topping LPs. The heavier Exhale followed in 2016, marking TFK's third consecutive Christian number one.
Can't Stop This
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Might've missed one by the door
The grass is high where we roar
Sometimes a rebel doesn't make an outlaw
I can see them in the distance
'Cause anything can happen in an instant
But now we know why we're here
You shouldn't have done it
Now there's blood in the water
You can't stop this thing we've started
Word of mouth, there's a snake in the garden
You can't stop this thing we've started
Come get it, forget it, even if you wanted
You can't stop this thing we've started
Bring it on, like a bomb, even if you wanted
You can't stop this thing we've started
This is war, and when it rains it pours
So get ready for the encore
Tension's high in the blast off
Shake up the boardroom, take all the masks off
Cataclysmic, down to business
There's no fear here, no time for head tricks
'Cause now we know why we're here
Nobody's safe, get out the clear
You shouldn't have done it
Now there's blood in the water
You can't stop this thing we've started
Word of mouth, there's a snake in the garden
You can't stop this thing we've started
Come get it, forget it, even if you wanted
You can't stop this thing we've started
Bring it on, like a bomb, even if you wanted
You can't stop this thing we've started
You can't knock it, can't rock it
You can't stop this thing we started
You can't stop it, just get off it
You can't stop this thing we started
You can't knock it, can't rock it
You can't stop this thing we started
You can't stop it, just get off it
You can't stop this thing we started
You can't knock it, can't rock it
You can't stop this thing we started
You can't stop it, just get off it
You can't stop this thing we started
Come get it, forget it, even if you wanted
You can't stop this thing we've started
Bring it on, like a bomb, even if you wanted
You can't stop this thing we've started
Thousand Foot Krutch's song "Can't Stop This" is an anthem about standing up against oppression and fighting for what you believe in. The lyrics describe a rebellion, with the singer counting the forces they are up against ("I spotted nine, maybe ten, Might've missed one by the door") and realizing that they are outnumbered but not intimidated ("Sometimes a rebel doesn't make an outlaw"). The message is clear - the rebels are ready to take on their oppressors and will not back down until they have achieved their goals.
The chorus repeats the message that the rebellion cannot be stopped, no matter what the oppressors do ("You shouldn't have done it, Now there's blood in the water, You can't stop this thing we've started"). The metaphor of a snake in the garden is used to describe the traitors who are working for the oppressors, and the rebels will not be deterred by their treachery. The bridge of the song emphasizes the rebels' determination ("You can't knock it, can't rock it, You can't stop this thing we started") and urges anyone who is not on their side to get out of the way.
Overall, "Can't Stop This" is a powerful song about standing up for what you believe in, even when the odds are against you. It is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt oppressed or marginalized and is determined to fight back.

I’m still trying to process that he can rap AND sing normal rock at the same time
Usually I’m not really that much into rap but my friend introduced me to TFK and I love the rapping parts 😂
iNtRoVeRt
Never said it didn’t. But what I mean is that I’m amazed that he has the gift of rapping extremely fast while also being able to sing normally. It’s a really cool talent.

Two words for you...HOLY SPIRIT.
Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you...".
Hope that helps answer your question?
The Holy Spirit's power, ways, how He moves/operates/works is far above human comprehension, mysterious and Supernatural.
Benjamin Jacome
This song desperately needs an old school music video.
Richard Rogers
Yeah with computers and sledgehammers or a sling and a giant.

I have a 3-way tie for my favorite song on this album. Between 3 songs of entirely different styles. Give Up the Ghost, Lifeline, and Can't Stop This. When my favorites on an album are of such a vastly different style, that's a good sign.
