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.

Ooh, it's hard to explain
How things have changed
But I'm not the same as before
And I know there's so much more ahead
I can barely believe that I'm here
And I won't surrender quietly
Step up and watch me go
Break down, ya really want it?
Wanna make a scene?
Show me what ya mean
Let's get it started
Let me see whatcha got
Can ya take it up a knotch?
Don't think you got it
Can't handle the pressure?
Get, off, stop talkin' about it
Gotta make this count, let's go
When we move
We camouflage ourselves
We stand in the shadows waiting
We live for this and nothing more
We are what You created
I can feel the storm
The winds have changed
Ooh, 'cause we're worlds a part
But just the same
But we won't leave the way that we came
And I know there's so much more ahead
I can barely believe that we're here
We won't surrender quietly
Step up and watch it go
Are you ready? Are ya ready?
Are ya ready for me?
Are you ready? Are ya ready?
Are ya ready to see?
The song "E for Extinction" by Thousand Foot Krutch reflects the idea of change and growth. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not who they used to be and that they have grown and developed over time. This change is difficult to explain but is evident and has led to the belief that there is so much more ahead. The singer is now determined and empowered and is not going to simply give up without a fight. They challenge others to make a scene and show what they are capable of. They stand in the shadows, waiting and ready to move forward.
The song's chorus talks about camouflaging oneself in order to move forward, to stand in the shadows waiting for one's time to shine. The song emphasizes the importance of hard work and dedication in order to achieve change and growth. The singer's passion and determination serve as a call to action for others, challenging them to make a difference and become the best versions of themselves.
