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.
Faith Love And Happiness
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
need to get out of this place
it's hard to see with you in front of my face
just another perfect day
acting like they wanna talk to me
so fake yet so friendly
My eyes can see even the back of me
won't you just let me be
'Cause everyone is falling away
feel like they're stolen from me
wish everything didn't happen to me
all I want is faith, love and happiness
Every time one runs away another one's returning
I wish everyone
could just see your face
Faith, love, and happiness
It seems everyone is up in my space
like it's the American way
I run in case somebody takes my place
just another change of pace
I know you think you know a lot about me
but so many wanna doubt me
that my eyes can even see
even the back of me
won't you just let me be
'Cause everyone is falling away
feel like they're stolen from me
wish everything didn't happen to me
all I want is faith, love and happiness
Every time one runs away, another one's returning
I wish everyone
could just see your face
Faith, love, and happiness
Every which way I turn I've got
the option of a million choices
every single word I say is
Judged by a million critics
Every which way you turn you've got
the sound of a million voices
Every single move you make is
torn by a million cynics
When will we all see the light of day?
I don't know
'Cause everyone is falling away
feel like they're stolen from me
wish everything didn't happen to me
all I want is faith, love and happiness
Every time one runs away, another one's returning
I wish everyone
could just see your face
Faith, love, and happiness
The lyrics of "Faith Love and Happiness" by Thousand Foot Krutch speaks about the feeling of being suffocated by the crowd and chaos around us. The opening lines describe the frustration of being surrounded by people who seem fake and insincere. It is about the need for space, both physical and mental, to escape from this constant pressure. The song highlights the desire for faith, love, and happiness in our lives, which can sometimes feel overshadowed by the noise and demand of the world.
The song talks about the constant flux of people coming and going in our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling robbed or abandoned. The chorus reaffirms the desire for the three things that can help us survive in the midst of all this: faith, love, and happiness. The verses address how our actions are under consistent scrutiny by critics and cynics. The song concludes with a sense of ambiguity, wondering when and how we will eventually emerge into the light of the day.
The song appears to be a commentary on the stressful and unhealthy aspects of living in a fast-paced, competitive world where it is hard to find peace and happiness amidst the chaos. It's a reminder to step back, take a breather, and remember the things that truly matter. The song merely implores people to pursue faith, love, and happiness, which can lead to peaceful and fulfilling lives.
