As many people who know me know, I am a big fan of music, in particular music with powerful or interesting lyrics.
Mute Math - Typical, has been a song that has caught my attention for some time, and every time I hear it I think, can I/we break the spell of the typical?
As Christians we are called to be different, to be honest, upright, etc. However how can we be that and also fit into this world. The Bible says live in this world but don’t be of the world. However without acting like a weird religious drone this is very difficult. We need to be relevant to the world at the same time of not being of the world. It is a very hard balancing act.
I don’t have an answer for this balancing act, however, it is always good to get some encouragement or something that makes you think.
Come on, can’t I dream for one day
There’s nothing that can’t be done?
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone?’Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never Can I break the spell of the typical?
I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone?
‘Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never Can I break the spell of the typical?
Because it’s dragging me down
I’d like to know about when,
When does it all turn around?
