Papa Roach - "Lifeline"

Papa Roach isn't a group I listen to on a regular basis, but "Lifeline", the recent single from Metamorphosis, caught my ear at the gym a few weeks ago. Lyrically, it's nothing we haven't heard before; the lead singer describes the pain he feels as he recounts a bad situation. However, take note of these lyrics from the second verse:

So I put out my hand
And I asked for some help
We tore down the walls I built around myself
I was struck by the light
And I fell to the ground

The last two lines should look familiar to Christians or anyone else who reads the Holy Bible.

And as (Saul) journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
(Acts 9:3-4, KJV; emphasis mine)

Just because some people aren't explicitly religious, it doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't thinking about spiritual matters. As a matter of fact, Christian Music Today has a series of articles called Glimpses Of God, where they explore the spiritual aspects of secular music. Their most recent examination was on Bruce Springsteen's latest album, Working On A Dream.

With that said, enjoy Papa Roach's song.
