So I know I am not the cool with it mom but this is a band my oldest monkey likes... so we go looking to get it for her and we were like NO WAY! because this album has a song on it Faking My Own Suicide... okay so if you saw that as a song and didnt know anything about this group what would you be thinking? Especially if your child was going through a complete I HATE YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR phase? Come to find out its a punk rock CHRISTIAN band. Still dont know if I will like it or not but the YW pres let them listen to it on the way to LA a few weeks back when they went to some YW thing for the whole of southern cali.
Anyways I am still not sure I am going to like it but I guess if its Christian it should be okay... right?

hi amy,
i have two teens. i don't know anything about this band.
but just because some band says they are Christian does not mean that they won't sing words that are still bad for someone to hear. i can't imagine there being anything good about that suicide song.
go with your gut feelings. if something doesn't feel right, you know what you feel.
blessings,
kathleen
Here are the lyrics to the song (thanks google. Doesn't sound all that Christian to me.
So I've Made Up My Mind
I Will Pretend
To Leave This World Behind
And In The End
You'll Know I've Lied
To Get Your Attention
I'm Faking My Own Suicide
I'm Faking My Own Suicide
Because I Know You Love Me
You Just Haven't Realized
I'm Faking My Own Suicide
They'll Hold A Double Funeral
Because A Part Of You Will Die
Along With Me
Wish You Thought That I Was Dead
So Rather Than Me
You'd Be Depressed Instead
And Before Arriving At My Grave
You'd Come To The Conclusion
You've Loved Me All Your Days
But It's Too Late
Too Late For You To Say
Because I'm Faking My Own Suicide
Because I Know You Love Me
You Just Haven't Realized
I'm Faking My Own Suicide
They'll Hold A Double Funeral
Because A Part Of You Will Die
Along With Me
I'll Write You A Letter That
You'll Keep
Reminding You Your Love For Me
Is More Than Six Feet Deep
You Say Aloud That You
Would've Been My Wife
Right About That Time
Is When I Come Back To Life
And Let You Know
I'd Let You Know (whooaa)
I Was Faking My Own Suicide
Because I Know You Loved Me
You Just Never Realized
I Was Faking My Own Suicide
I'll Walk In That Room And
See Your Eyes Open So Wide
I've Been So Lost
Because You Know
Because You Know
You Will Never Leave My Sight (you Will Never Leave My Sight)
Until The Day That I Die For The First Time (until I Die For The First Time)
And We'll Laugh, Yeah We'll Laugh
And We Will Cry
So Overjoyed With The Love
That Saved My Life
Our Love Is So Alive
Teens are so challenging. Mine makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes. In a couple of months I'll have two teenagers. Scary!
I have to agree with the other 2 comments, though.....saying their Christian doesn't always make it ok and the I wouldn't be ok with the lyrics for me daughter. Go with your gut feeling! It's your kid and you know her best!
by the way, I tagged you!
