That’s a common misconception. My self-MOC wore the teal Miru way before I ever knew about TTV.

Monster’s one of my favorite skillet songs, along with Hero.

You mainstream scrub. /s

I like them both as well. However, I’m even more in love with Lucy, Falling Inside The Black, Looking For Angels and Freakshow.

@Seto_Kaiba You lucky (censored) /s That’s really cool though, I wanted to get something signed when I saw them at Winter Jam but I didn’t have anything and the line was HUGE.

@Hawkflight Dude, git gud. Listen to all their albums. Granted Collide, Comatose, Awake, and Rise are the best but there are some good songs on Skillet (Debut album), Hey you, I Love Your Soul, Invincible, Alien Youth (Title track is pretty good). Ardent Worship has some OK stuff if you’re interested in worship music.

Does anyone else here love Dead Inside?

“Dead inside! My heart and soul flat-lines! Put your mouth on mine! And bring me back to life!”

@legomaster1378: Falling inside the Black is great! Do you like The Older I Get or Everything Goes Black?

I always heard it as “My heart is open wide”. Derp.

Coincidentally, that’s twice now that I’ve misheard a “flat-line” verse. I originally heard “And then I heard you flat-line” from Not Gonna Die as “And then I heard you flood me”. Yeah… the lyrics in my head don’t seem to make much sense most of time… :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh yes! Especially the last line of the bridge: “you remind me of a time, when I felt alive!”

I like the sound, but I still haven’t been able to pin down exactly what the song is about. Little help?

A slow song, but I really like it. All of their Deluxe songs are great IMO (funny how that works).

I’ts about the lead singer (John Cooper) reconciling his relationship with his dad. Other songs such as Open Wounds also touched on the subject.

Really? I kept on trying to see how it talked about a girl, since it obviously wasn’t about God.

Dang, being about his dad makes a lot of sense. Older I Get has always been a “so-so” song for me. Maybe now I’ll like it more. How about you?

Older I get was always that one that I never knew why I liked but I did.

I’m the same with Better Then Drugs. Maybe it’s the guitar riffs on that one…

I have to admit BTD had some good guitarwork (coming from my unsophisticated opinion).

I love the guitars, violins and cello in Whispers In The Dark and Awake And Alive myself.

Have you ever heard the acoustic version of Comatose?

58

I own the acoustic versions of 6 songs because I own Comatose comes alive I have to say they sound pretty cool.

Same here. Comatose’s acoustic doesn’t have a whole lot of energy to it, but man do I love those synthesizers/piano effects in the beginning. You understand what I’m trying to say?

I play the piano myself, and from what I’ve heard, Skillet has some of the best piano recordings I’ve ever heard.

I had the fortune of obtaining invincible on disk.

Nice! I like some of the stuff on their debut album and Invincible is pretty good. Overall I like their newer stuff better, but every once in a while, I find myself going back to the old stuff.

Once I found the case for Collide at a goodwill store but someone had taken the disc out of it =|
