parang sa lyrics ata makikita kung christian band sila.
parang vertical horizon, you're a god.
tsaka yung pangalan mismo nung band.
vertical horizon, pag pini-picture mo yung band name, lalabas, cross.
which symbolizes christ.
insights lang. .png "lol")
But Vertical Horizon is NOT a Christian band. This was one of the great deception of the 90s. Everything you want was misconstrued as Christ being EVERYTHING WE NEED but the song talks about a woman who is dissatisfied with all her relationships. Even You are A God deceives a lot of people too, let the lyrics speak for themselves:
I've gotta be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's okay
And there's somewhere beyond this, I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again, no-o-o...
No, never again...
'Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go-o
But I've been unable
To put you down
I'm still learning things I ought to know by now
It's under the table, so
I need something more to show, somehow
So, never again, no-o-o...
No, never again...
'Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go
I've got to be honest
I think you know
We're covered in lies and that's okay
There's somewhere beyond this, I know
But I hope I can find the words to say
Never again, no-o-o...
No, never again...
Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go
You're a god
I just thought that you would know...
You're a god
Oh, I thought that you would know
You're a god
I just thought that you would know...
I'd let you go
And finally:
A: "Hey guys, we are getting the Christian question again." - Ed Toth
Some of Vertical Horizon's songs appear to have religious overtones. One song in particular, "Prayer for an Innocent Man" is based on one of the Psalms of David (Psalm 17). However, Vertical Horizon has not acknowledged that they are a Christian band. In fact Keith has said that this was one of the many rumors that have circulated around the band. Matt has encouraged people to develop personal interpretations of the songs. This is especially true about the latest album. Ed says he loves being in this band because of this room for personal interpretation. He goes on to say that "it's fine with us because there can be 5,000 different interpretations about a song. People can think whatever they want, but we are not a Christian band. We don't even go to church when we are on the road." By interpreting the songs on a personal level, it allows the listeners to connect deeply and get more out of the song.
As a collective, Vertical Horizon is not a Christian band, but there has been some speculation to the personal beliefs of the members. Many people point out the fact that the founding members went to a Jesuit university. Also, Keith has said that the Bible is a good book to have and read. In spite of this, no one is really sure of any of each member's personal beliefs except the members themselves, and they choose not to make that part of their recordings, performances, and public life.
