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.

Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Console me when you want control
Roll me in those lies you've told
But I won't play these games no more and
(Don't run and hide, stand up and fight)
I'm feeling like just letting go
(It's shaking your mind with 'cause and divide)
(Don't run and hide, stand up inside)
The wheels keep burning
I'm about ready to blow
When I get angry, I feel weak
And hear these voices in my head
Telling me to fall beneath
'Cause they'll make everything okay
How did I get here?
Everything's unclear
I never meant to cause you pain
Give me a reason I can believe in
I need it all this time
Send me a lifeline
Wave if it makes you look good
Smile when you feel like you should
It's hard not to treat this like I could
Heaven help me, it's overwhelming
(Don't run and hide, stand up and fight)
I'm feeling like just letting go
(It's shaking your mind with 'cause and divide)
It's taking everything I know
(Don't run and hide, stand up inside)
The wheels keep burning
I'm about ready to blow
When I get angry, I feel weak
And hear these voices in my head
Telling me to fall beneath
'Cause they'll make everything okay
How did I get here?
Everything's unclear
I never meant to cause you pain
Give me a reason I can believe in
I need it all this time
Send me a lifeline
When I get angry, I feel weak
And hear these voices in my head
Telling me to fall beneath
'Cause they'll make everything okay
How did I get here?
Everything's unclear
I never meant to 'cause you pain
Give me a reason I can believe in
I need it all this time
Send me a lifeline
When I get angry, I feel weak
And hear these voices in my head

'Cause they'll make everything okay
How did I get here?
Everything's unclear

Give me a reason I can believe in

The song "Lifeline" by Thousand_Foot_Krutch talks about the struggles of dealing with emotional manipulation and the need for support when facing challenges. The lyrics describe the pain caused by someone using hurtful words and lies for control, while also questioning how they got to that point. The singer reveals feeling weak and hearing voices urging them to give up, but they want a reason to keep fighting and ask for a "lifeline" to help them through.
The chorus encourages standing up and fighting instead of hiding or giving in to the pressure. It suggests that it's hard to resist playing those games, but it's essential to keep going and not let the situation consume them. The line "The wheels keep burning, I'm about ready to blow" implies a sense of feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of breaking down.
Overall, the song is an anthem for finding the strength to fight against toxic relationships and situations. It's a reminder that we can't always handle things on our own and sometimes need to reach out for help and support to keep going.

The chorus of this song could be told by someone who has Amnesia.
"When I get angry, I feel weak" - The person is angry he cant remember anything, but he also feels weak
"And hear these voices in my head" - His/her loved ones are trying to tell him/her things in their past, but to them its just voices in his/her head
"Telling me to fall beneath" - His/her loved ones are telling him/her to remember the things and believe in them
"Cause they'll make everything okay" - Because remembering and believing the things from their past and the memories will hopefully make everything go back to normal and him/her will be happy
"How did I get here?" - They obviously cant remember anything because of their amnesia, and are wondering how they got where they are right now
"Everything's unclear" - Cant remember anything and/or some memories are unclear/hazy
"I never meant to cause you pain" - They never wanted to give their loved ones pain by them trying to make him/her remember things and/or giving them sadness, or even anger, because him/her cant remember anything
"Give me a reason I can believe in" - They want a memory that they can believe in
"I need it all this time" - They need the reason so they can figure out who they are again
"Send me a lifeline" - They want to remember who they are and they need all the help they can get, a lifeline.
Keep in mind, this isnt the actual story, i just though it was an interesting alternative to the "Angel is singing it, rather than the person singing it in Three Days Grace - Fallen Angel "

Ok.. Just to make sure, because people seem to hate this song because the chorus is similar to Fallen Angel by Three Days Grace. TFK and 3DG have been friends in the music industry for years now, and both bands have influenced each other and Trevor of TFK has co-written a few 3DG songs. He even featured in a 3DG song as well. So, I'm pretty sure they have each others albums as well and most likely 3DG has heard of this song. And yet, no violent reaction whatsoever from anyone from 3DG. So, this is most definitely not a ripoff rather an inspiration of sorts since both bands respect and influence each other.
@axelowo2411
Yeah, isn't a bad way, in my opinion, it's perfect because this chorus is great, and both bands are great :3. Is most like a different options
@TheCrimsonRiversSociety
speaking of- did you know TFK is Christian? you can tell in untraveled road and a few others- they rarely show it but listen to the lyrics. You'll hear it-
