Thousand Foot Krutch’s Down is unfortunate. It will not help them draw closer to Jesus. After all, worldly people have become successful and snub it onto others, much to TFK’s chagrin. Unbelievers will have no trouble understanding its message. How would an outsider interpret the song? Line 7: That is, a call to experience TFK’s influence, as opposed to the Bible’s influence. Lines 1 and 2: Do you want to become successful? Follow TFK’s example, mere human beings (1 Corinthians 3:4), as opposed to following Jesus (John 15:1-10, 1 Corinthians 11:1-2, 1 Peter 2:21, and 1 John 2:3-6). Lines 11-13: Much like Peter Parker was given a talent and chose to wield it, so too is TFK using their abilities to influence others. TFK was right to leave behind this Eeyore-like state of mind. Lines 8-10: TFK used to have a “glass is half-empty” attitude, never looking past their own failures and negatively affecting the people around them. They were born to win, as though it were handed to them on a silver platter. Lines 4-7: TFK has a desire to write music, go on tour, and work hard to succeed, evidenced by their history. They want everyone to know about it, exhibiting behavior contrary to Proverbs 27:2. Lines 1-3: TFK’s influence has grown, much like rust grows on metal or a gush of blood comes out of a broken nose. Rather than taking their own revenge, they should save room for God’s wrath ( Romans 12:19) and show them their error with gentleness and respect so that they could be ashamed through TFK’s good behavior (1 Peter 3:15-17). It is an “I’ll show YOU!” attitude, with the intent to prove them wrong. Lines 1-4: TFK has been bombarded with critiques that they will never make it, that they will never make a difference, that others have tried and failed, but TFK uses them as fuel to overcome. Lines 8 and 9: TFK’s critics are about to experience how TFK connects with their audience. Lines 6 and 7: TFK’s volumic sound level is loud enough to wake the dead! Line 5: In much the same way as loose change leaves one’s pocket into the dresser drawer, TFK has removed themselves from the onslaught of their critics. TFK overcomes their obstacles while again insulting their critics, claiming that they are lazy.
Lines 3 and 4: References Queen’s Under Pressure. This is contrary to humbly regarding others as better (Philippians 2:3). Lines 1 and 2: TFK accuses their critics as amateurs, compared to a freshman in high school/college. Lines 1 and 2: TFK’s critics fail to take responsibility for their own actions and TFK won’t entertain their foolishness (Proverbs 26:4-5). Most of it is contrary to Scripture, with the exception of ignoring foolish critics. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture?
TFK’s audience can do the same if they follow TFK’s example, that is, to learn to ignore the Debbie downer’s and boast about it once they’ve made it. They use various pop culture references to flesh out their lyrics that carry the same theme. Yet, TFK chose to ignore them, succeeding in spite of their onslaughts, and rubs it in their face, the opposite of showing love. The critics tried to say that “you’ll never make it”, “you won’t succeed doing hard rock”, “you’ll never make a difference”. TFK has experienced many critics over the years.
