Love Lost - The Temper Trap - Plus a little something, something.

When I first tuned my ears to this single, I immediately thought this was another typical relationship/break-up song. However, as time moved quickly, I got to know the band a little more and found myself to realize that this song had much more of a meaning behind it, rather than your very own relationship/break-up song we hear everywhere. Meanwhile, I knew that this song wasn't what everyone interrupted it to be, for I had a little voice who spoke to me saying that this song was written by one man who had a secret desire to spread the word of a Love greater than any other man has to offer. It's kind of little hidden secrets we can catch if we seek. For I am going to be giving a verse describing purely what couldn't been said any better.

Colossians 2:2, Paul the apostle says "My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ."

When the verse came across the words 'encouraged in heart and united in love', I began to think about the struggles He made for us to get to know Him personally (prime example: the Bible). He knows everything about us, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, as written, but in order to have a relationship with Him, to be united in love, we have to get to know Him also. Earthly relationships that we have with people we love knowing all about us, but we knowing nothing about them, Nada, just doesn't work. So with that said, Why the heck do we still not give a hoot?! I don't really know you might reply, but the reason why, comes all the way back to fear. Fear to love. Fear of rejection. God has such a great love for the nonbelievers, atheists, agnostics and all living, breathing human beings on this planet that He gave His one and only son to die for us. Surrender and flash your hearts, He won't reject or mistreat it. He will take a quick glance, grab it, and cherish it. So wave high your white flags for He is searching and making you the person you were meant to be.

He's always there, ready. waiting for you to take that first step towards Him. He yearns for us to come home, and promises not to leave us dry.

In the song, lyrics are written...

"Our love was lost,

But now we've found it,

and if you flash your heart

I won't deny it

I promise (I promise)

Your walls are up too cold to touch it,
Your walls are up too high to climb

I know it's hard but I can still hear it beating,
So if you flash you heart,
I won't mistreat it
I promise (I promise)"

This part of the song gave me the chills, massive chills up and down my arms. For sure.
