They made their debut in 1995 when Trevor McNevan, Joel Bruyere, and Steve Augustine started putting a praise & worship spin on the nu-metal sound of the time. After building a buzz around Ontario with numerous shows and a strong demo titled That's What People Do, Thousand Foot Krutch signed with Diamante and issued their debut LP, Set It Off, in 2000. The album featured a cover of EMF's "Unbelievable" on a set that veered toward the sounds of P.O.D. and Papa Roach. TFK signed with Tooth & Nail for September 2003's Phenomenon. They'd developed considerably in the two years since Set It Off, and the new album reflected a more focused rock sound, much like Chevelle or Finger Eleven. During this era, McNevan and Augustine also formed a pop-punk side band dubbed FM Static. Released in 2005, The Art of Breaking adopted an even heavier rock sound, doubling down on the introspection, angst, and emotion. Produced by Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace, Finger Eleven), it was the band's first album to break into the Billboard 200 (at number 67).

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.

Wish You Well
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes love feels like pain,
And sometimes I wonder if it's all the same,
Sometimes life, feels just like rain,
'cause you never know when it's gonna fall down on you

[Chorus]
I wish you well, I wish you well,
On this trip to find yourself,

I wish you well, wish I could help,
But I can't help you find yourself

Sometimes faith, feels like doubt
And sometimes I wonder if we'll even get out
Sometimes life hurts just like now,
But ya gotta know, it's all gonna come back around

[Chorus]

Find yourself,
I can't help you find yourself,
Find yourself..

And we were sixteen at the time,
Nothing could ever change our minds,
We were one step below invincible,
And we always fought it, you've never been the same,
You were so scared to make a name,
Then you threw it all away,
And I wish you'd come back now.

[Chorus: x 2]

[Chorus]

Find yourself,
I can't help you find yourself,

Find yourself,
I can't help you find yourself...

Find yourself..
A final reminder to discover who they are and find their purpose in life
