(SMS) MxPx - Secret Weapon


You've always had some trouble with authority
And that's the way that growing up's supposed to be
Yes, you can make it through, you gotta believe

You are your own
Secret weapon
It's all up to you
To come out swingin'
It's all up to you!

Take back the stolen years, the truth will set you free
Don't lay down and lie, shut down the fallacies
Throw all of your fears into the sea

You are your own
Secret weapon
It's all up to you
To come out swingin'
It's all up to you!

So call all your cars
And take to the streets
Raise up your voice and sing
You can't change the past
'cause nothing will last
Embrace what tomorrow brings
You can't change the past

You are your own
Secret weapon
It's all up to you
To come out swingin'
It's all up to you!


Today's the day of rocking out everything with this punk rock in loud and clear volume! Two minutes of high energy from the very beginning to till the end. Also a band that was part of my childhood and make their first appearance on blog.

It's funny to look up on their lyrics. Some seem so mature and strong, and others seem made by a rebel child hahaha and this is one of the most curious things in this band: the mix between maturity, "silliness" and fun.

There are days we are okay, and there are days we are bad. The past keeps on mulling over in our heads, thinking what I should've, or not, done, said. Thoughts that thousands of times destroy our spirit, our will of living. But there's something only you can do to go back in having endless happiness: seeking the Truth. Abandoning your fears. Carry on. Abandon the lies.

It's way easier and comfortable to make a lie and live around it. With no need in justifying yourself. Though with theses lies an insulating blanket cover us and turn us dull to the world. Because of them we gather fears after fears. Only one Truth can really set us free: Jesus. He is the Truth that brings unexplainable joy. Even in sad or difficult moments, He cheers us up.

"and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8.32

This is something only you can run after. I can't force you to do anything. It is you your own secret weapon to run after true happiness. And the past suits as model to not repeat the same mistakes in future.
