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.
We Are
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I've got it
'Cause too much thinking is bad for my health
It's like a fire
'Cause when it started
I can't control it and I burn myself
But I can't just sit here and watch you
We are the ones, we are the guns, and we will run
We are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong, we are one
My heart is racin'
Just like a rocket
Victory looks like a distant dream
'Cause what we're fighting's
Not gonna stop it
But we can beat it if we just believe
But I can't just sit here and watch you
If we don't stop it no one will
We are the ones, we are the guns, and we will run
We are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong, we are one
We are the choice, we are the strong, we are one
We are the ones, we are the guns, We are
We are the change, we are the chains, we are
But I can't just sit here and watch you
If we don't stop it no one will
We are the ones, we are the guns, and we will run
We are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong, we are one
We are the choice, we are the strong, we are one
In "We Are," Thousand Foot Krutch speaks to the struggles and obstacles we face in life. The first verse talks about how overthinking can be harmful, causing one to burn themselves. However, the chorus highlights the power in unity and coming together. The band wants their fans to understand that they can not only stand up for themselves, but also for others. The song talks about how important it is to fight for something you believe in, because if you don't do it, nobody will. The song is essentially about standing up against the odds and overcoming them. The music clearly has a rock edge which is complemented by lead singer Trevor McNevan's aggressive and emotive voice.
The song has an energetic and anthemic rock feel to it, making it perfect for live performances. It was featured on the band's 2009 album, "Welcome to the Masquerade," which was met with commercial success. "We Are" was also used in several films, including "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" and "The Punisher" respectively. It was also used as the theme song for the WWE show, "Superstars" from 2009 to 2012.

I found them on a weeb nightcore playlist. I really enjoyed this song and decided to look up their band, and my goodness thank the Lord I did.
I've been listening for over 5 years, and seen them blow up and grow over 500k subscribers. I am so proud, and overjoyed.
Their music evokes extremely strong emotions I've never knew I could feel. They made me feel melancholic, nostalgic, sad, energetic, and romantic. They grew with me in my late teen years. I am so thankful for you guys.
You guys were also my beginning spark for heavy music. I listen to metal as well nowadays and you guys sparked that interest.
And the memories - the memories of my late-night gaming with online friends. The ones I still have and lost. I will never forget your part in it.
Thank you, Thousand Foot Krutch. You guys changed so much of my life. I am so grateful!! I love you guys!! When I'm a bit more older, and see you guys live, I want to visit a concert!! 18 isn't enough still in my parent's eyes T _ T)\m/, but I will listen religiously to TFK forever!!
