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 ↴
thousand be the head of the class 'n'
rollin through ya party with the stereo blastin' we creepin'
it's bin' seven since last weekend,
everybody in the club freekin'
and in the corner, I can see ya standin' there,
black jacket 'n' long hair we've been exchanging stares,
'n' I know ya, 'n' what'cha thinkin' yeah right,
don't'cha know that brothers don't like the girls,
that be into the guys that be tellin them lies 'n' listen here hun,
life's more than this,
ya tryin to tell me that'cha never get bored of this?,
Yo, check this who you eye'in up for ya set list,
frontin' with ya fake gold necklace,
not respected, 'n' yet ya wonderin' why,
seen the gleam in ya eyes, as soon as ya spotted the $,
girl what's next? who you hittin' up for the rolex?
brothers need to clear their specs,
boy ya gettin' gamed on, thinkin' she loves you 'n' all that,
need to get it all back, move on 'n' step off that,
she's the wrong type, but same goes for females,
'cause' guys be spittin' lies, not telling the details,
in the fine print, baby girl, don't sweat it,
'cause one of these days you'll regret it,
and yo, the moral of the story is,
dogs and cats are notorious, for gettin' funny around cash money,
so lesson learned, 'n' ya playin' with fire get burned,
respect yourself, peace, kid hope ya learned
(CHORUS)
You think ya somethin' more ya so supafly,
to the fact you're blind, you're so empty inside,
it's hard for me to get this through to you,
to the fact ya blind, baby, blind, baby, (x2)
Well it's the Sundance Kid,
yo the rap villain, man for real and,
peeps catchin' feelin's of the lyrical caps that I'm peeling,
makin' noise y'all, me 'n' my krutch boys y'all, stand tall,
'cause yo we ain't never gonna fall, man forget that,
yo, we'll keep constantly comin' right back,
like CHRIST when he rose on the third
strikin' ya nerves take ya down, down, like Titanic to icebergs,
if ya messin' with a girl for her curves,
and yo, ya might be, you think ya somethin high and mighty,
might be that you be frontin,
most likely, no doubt, money be singin' the same song,
respect yourself hun, it's the 34th Psalm
And sometimes I feel, so unbreakable, I'm so forsakeable,
I'm shattered,
and things aren't as they seem,
they're so in between, they're so make believe,
that it's un-real,
and wake me up when things are better,
'cause I can't take much more of this and take these rags,
but leave my comfortable sweater,
and leave me alone, then leave me alone, alone, alone, a-lone
(chorus) (x2)
The lyrics of Thousand Foot Krutch's song Supafly speaks about the foolishness and futility of chasing material wealth and superficiality. The song is divided into three verses, with each verse discussing different aspects of materialism. The first verse is about party-goers who are chasing a hollow existence, living life in black jackets and air-tight clothes, getting bored with the same thing every day. The second verse highlights how people value others based on their money and possessions, with individuals trying to impress others with their fake gold necklaces. The third verse warns listeners about getting burnt by intertwining with people who are focused on materialism.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that chasing after material possessions and appearances can lead to someone being "blind" and "empty inside" despite thinking otherwise. The rap verse at the end reinforces the idea that materialism is not the way to happiness, with the lyrics saying that people often forget what they stand for and who they are when they focus solely on material gain.

Just leave me alone, alone, alone, alone.
