Is Hoobastank the Reason a Christian Song?

[PEANUT]

Hi,

Does anybody think that this song can relate to our relationship with Jesus Christ? Here are the lyrics:

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

What do you think?

A kid sang it at one of our chapels last year at school and claimed it related to his relationship with Jesus. So I suppose it's possible. I think part of the fun/complexity of art is that it can mean one thing to the creator and another thing to the listener/viewer. It's meaning can transcend the creators intent.

For the record:

When I said "art" above, I was speaking in a broader sense. I don't think what Hoobastank does is either artistic or creative.

Hoobastank = suck-rock

Yes.

And a member of my church's youth group did that song for a talent night at their youth service about a year ago.....the youth pastor had NO idea it was Hoobastank song, nor who Hoobastank was.

i think it definately could relate to jesus

i guess with any song, if you can turn it in to a song to worship God then you are singing it for Gods glory. i find many secular songs u can relate to God and ur relationship with Jesus.

 

[Chrome]

it could, if the listener interprets it that way. I mean, lyrics can me alot of things to alot of people.

 

[Mae Band]

it reminded me when i heard the song of my personal relationship with jesus

 

[HybridNation]

i think it definately could relate to jesus

I agree. They are Christians, arent they?

Hoobastank = suck-rock

Yup. I've seen several live performances by these turds, and, while the band does a fine job with the music, the singer can't seem to hit a correct note. He sucks! Flat as a pancake...

How did they manage to score a record deal with a singer who can't sing?!?!?

 

[Lake]

cool,it reminds me of my relationship with a girl that was younger than me. which yes,I got out of.

it reminded me when i heard the song of my personal relationship with jesus

 

[TheBatman]

Yeah, I bought their live DVD, and I like a bunch of their songs but man their singer can't keep it in tune live. He butchered Running Away, my favorite song.

I have to disagree. Hoobastank lyrics remind me of having glass shards shoved into my eardrums while being violated by the devil.

Haha. This gets my vote for quote of the day.

And, before someone asks, "Are they really that bad?", the answer is YES!. They are...

 

[ArmouredSaint]
