Can the music of Creed be related to by most anyone?
 

This is a question I have...How real are the lyrics for everyone out there? If you where going to saying something using a Creed song...which one would it be and why? And what would the situation be?

What exactly do you mean by real? Do you mean would we quote them directly or something, or just cite the lyrics in some situation?

if you mean real as in they mean something to us, and we can relate to them, then yes. and sometimes i do quote lyrics.

Re: Can the music of Creed be related to by most anyone?
 

I take there lyrics real and each one of theme has message a question or a testimoni and as far as situation life is full of many of theme and what all you ask is basicly pin ponited the odvious so if i could use a creed song to get a point across it would be signs and why you ask can you see the signs now ALL AROUND YOU FALSE PROPHETS ALL NATIONS WILL KNOW OF ME WORLD DISATERS AND IM GOING TO STOP NOW FIND THAT PEACE THAT LIVES INSIDE US ALL.....pEACE

I guess what I meant was, can anyone out there relate to the lyrics as one would with other bands? I'm new to Creed. Just trying to see how everyone relates to the lyrics.

Yes, there are many Creed songs whose lyrics I relate to...among them: What's This Life For, Hide, Ode, Torn, MOP...many, many more.

Creeds lyrics seem to reach out and touch people in time of need in there lifes there music saved mine but there lyrics move people in a lot of diffrent ways and far as other bands i have felt the move of creeds message and lyrics in alot of bands in tantied way why do you like creed now? over here

lyrics of other bands havent made as much of an impression, or moved me more than Creeds lyrics has

Me Either My Brother There in Class by theme selfs i just anwserd overs question

yeah

yeah groovy

Me either, facelessman. I've loved music ever since I was a kid and although I love alot of other music, no other band/singer's music touches me the way Creed's music does.

over_here, a few of the songs that I can relate to are Torn, Sister, What if, Inside Us All, Hide, My Sacrifice and Stand Here With Me. Most, if not all of their songs touch me in some way. That's why they're my favorite band.:crest: :D And welcome to the board. :newbie:

The songs that I can relate to the most would be, Don't Stop Dancing, Torn, One Last Breath, WTLF, Who's Got My Back, Weathered, Hide, and so many more:D I agree, there aren't to many bands out there with music and lyrics that have touched my life more than Creed's:dancing: :angel:

Welcome to the BB :newbie:

First song I could relate to was MOP, and Torn I totally relate to WAWO because I have 2 kids and I really relate to Wash Away Those Years! When Weathered came out, Oh BOY! My Sacrifice ,OLB SHWM, Hide,Weathered and Lullaby! :crest:

yeah

Relate, believe it or not I felt like the songs were written for me on MOP!!!! I have never related to any music like this in my life, I never get sick of it and I am like an addict if I don't get it! I relate to MOP, What IF, Faceless man, WTLF, ONE and Weathered..... gee I could go on and on, Creed feeds my soul!:crest:

I do believe that Creed's music CAN and WILL relate to everyone in some way, shape, or form! When I first heard "Wash Away Those Years"...it did nothing for me. About 6 months later, that song hit home and dug beneathe me. It was meant to be, and the song was just waiting for the right time to "come to me"!

We all see their lyrics differently, what "My Own Prison" means to me, most definitely won't be what it means to you, Frank, or Bob...ya know? They've got a weird way of displaying their messages, but I certainly would NOT change that for the world!

yeah

yeah

Rock on

It's amazing how deep Creed's lyrics are. Thinking now, no other band has lyrics that connect with me on so many levels in so many songs as Creed! They are absolutely my favorite, and I truly believe they are the most talented band in the world. I don't know how so many people can hate them (I assume they have never heard a Creed song).

The songs that hit me the MOST (because just about all of them do in some way) are My Own Prison, Higher, My Sacrifice, Bullets, and What If.

Welcome to the board, these guys are great! :)

I know what you mean, luvin monti. Torn was that kind of song. I've always enjoyed it but recently it's become a favorite.

I can't honestly say that Creed is the only band I can relate to lyrically. I like lyrics and I always like band's that have meaningful lyrics, not like the same thing over and over, which is why I like Creed so much...
BUT as far as their ability to connect with what most people think, My opinion is that Creed's success has proven that spirituality is a big issue with many people. Good and bad. The questioning of it is what's important, not just following something blindly.

yeah

***WHY DO YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DISCUSS THE MEANINGS OF YOUR SONGS?

SCOTT STAPP:
For a Creed fan, they obviously bought the record and liked the song for a specific reason. Whether that be Mark's guitar riffs or Scott's drums or the groove of the music, the vibe, or the lyrics. Somewhere in there, they like-- they like the song. By giving away the meaning of the song or-- or any-- too much information about it, yeah-- I can change that person's interpretation of the song, if it's because they liked it for the lyrics.
Because if someone wants to think in their mind that that song is about this, because it made 'em feel this way, then I don't want to ruin that for them, because that's what has made the song personal in their lives. Just take it for what it's worth and-- and make it your own. And that's what we want our music to be. We want it to be personal to everyone who has it.***

sounds good to me

I can relate to numerous Creed songs and apply them day to day in my life. We all take our own meaning from the song. I can say that no band has ever gotten in my head like Creed has. They make me stop and think about ALOT of things.

I don't know how so many people can hate them either. Obviously they have never stopped to really listen to the lyrics. They have never stopped to think about what is being said in a Creed song.
