That's one of those where they became so mainstream that they don't want to name it, but they definitely make Christian rock.

Apparently, Higher is about lucid dreaming, but he's also dreaming of biblical Heaven:

Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
(Isaiah 29:18-19)
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
(Revelations 21:21)

"My Sacrifice" is about Scott's struggle with alcoholism, but speaks of a person who gave him love and who he implies he repeatedly reunites with "in their mind." That's Jesus bro.

"One Last Breath" drops a capital-H "His grace" referring to God, "With Arms Wide Open" mentions praying, "What If" references Matthew 7:16-17, etc.

It seems quite a few of their songs are "actually" about something else, but totally allegorical to Christian belief. And idk what that makes you other than a Christian rock band.

I thought My Sacrifice was about the double standard of being a supposed Christian rockstar but hanging with Kid Rock and getting bjs from the groupies.

“When you are with me, I'm free. I'm careless, I believe. Above all the others, we'll fly. This brings tears to my eyes. My sacrifice.”
