Story behind the song
THE DOOR released to radio in April 2004 and quickly found success on many charts. It peaked at #1 on FreeRock1.com and on The Indie Rock Show with Sonia V. Sonia ended up naming it as the #1 song on her show for 2004 and FreeRock posted it as their #4 overall song for 2004 behind Skillet, Switchfoot and Jeremy Camp. What an honor!
Lyrics
You say you want to be something more
Say you want to feel overwhelming love
Walls all around are slowly closing in
Numbing skin and choking breath
The panic room has held you for too long
Has the door closed and held you in the dark
Good news is here if you will wisely hear
Stop and listen to the faint and steady sound
Knock knocking
Stop talking
Open up & make the change
Loneliness it keeps you in the night
Patiently waits to give his love, he gave his life
Sunken so low that you can barely see
Signs of the time in a resonating beat
CHORUS
Knock knocking stop talking
Open up and make the change
Heart gripping you're stricken
With the truth so what's your choice?
So you complain about your life but don't want to change
really too much effort the comfort Zone and familiarity of pain
doesn't make a difference anyway but what if what if what if
... you answer
Quietly you sit and wait
And pretend that you don't hear
All along you've had this gnawing
For the truth and something clear
CHORUS
(ad lib)
So knock knocking knock knocking
Knock knocking it is already here
Knock knocking your living
With the fear of uncertainty
