Demon Hunter - Gasoline

[@allay414]

Demon Hunter has to be one of the most savage Christian metal bands out there.

I love the meaning of this song. We may have a different world view than everyone else, but we're not going to apologize for it.

[@Chase_baker_1996]

Amen

[@sarahwalker4241]

Wait what’s the meaning

[@mcb3920]

@@sarahwalker4241 I believe (unless I'm misinterpreting, but this is what I get when I look at the lyrics) the song is saying that rather than apologize when they share hard truths or parts of their faith that might make people uncomfortable, they're not going to apologize for what they said or try to retract their words ("we can smother out the flames with gasoline"), but that they'll stand by what is true, or even let the discomfort drive them to share with more people. I think this song might be based off of Matthew 10:34 where Jesus said he didn't come to bring peace, but came to bring a sword that would divide families and relationships.

[@Waskomsause]

For anyone wondering, here are the lyrics "Gasoline" I thought about you I thought about the ones that I forget Oh please forgive me I hope that I've not pushed you to the edge Let me wash away the painful words I wrote We can smother out the flames within my soul No more standing by the way that I believe We can smother out the flames With gasoline You break around me You say that I should give my heart a rest [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] We’ll watch these flames Like a tower of dissent, choking out regret Devouring light An image of my soul, out of our control [Pre-chorus] [Chorus]

[@googIesux]

@@ithuraktherolrim decisive victory of some kind, i think. i don't remember, but it was magical. man, the guitar in the leadup to the chorus is such a steady understated contrast to the rest of the song; comes off as sort of alien, focused/determined and indifferent. it does feel like that ghostly slow movement of flames in a superheated environment, like a burning bedroom or somethin. this song is such a solid fuck you to the voices that try to pretend retreat is tempting for you

[@ithuraktherolrim]

"Devouring light, an image of my soul, out of our control." My favorite line, just sounds so right and good.

[@raypennington6210]

I no longer think about them. I forget to remember the pain when our Father is forever greater then any suffering. The past is gone not behind us.

[@shyguyvxv8450]

We walk the path less traveled and even though there will be pain, strife and resistance we must not and will not falter. Yet for each time we will fall we will rise again each and every time because our strength is not from within but from a higher Authority. To those who say our fight is useless because there is no God, be a light to them through our lives and let what God has done in us be our testimony. To those who mock us, pray for them for in as much as they judge so too will they be judged even more. To those who would call themselves our enemy, know that we are not theirs but no matter what understand we cannot and will not relent because of who He is. No matter how tough times may get, we find peace knowing Christ has already won the battle for us. Realize our enemy knows our every weakness and he will not relent or tire. Our battlefield is fought within ourselves. Do not be mistaken though, our enemy wants nothing more for us to be caught in that struggle within ourselves trying to overcome our flaws. In that struggle he often doesn't have to do a thing because we will often be our own saboteurs. We wildly swing at and attack our enemy out of desperation to get the upper hand and when we have our hands firmly around the throat of our enemy we fail to realize all along we were fighting ourselves. Understand God wants us to surrender totally and completely to Him. We must unclench our fists and let go of our weaknesses, struggles, needs and cares to Him. Accept that He loves us as we are and through that love He will perfect us. Because of our love for Him we will strive to live a life pleasing in His eyes and walk in peace knowing the fight is already won. Now a fire burns within our souls that daily refines us and illuminates even blackest of nights and when the struggles of this life threaten to put it out we must stand firm and never let it die. To those who wish for us to smother out the flames within our souls, we will smother out the flames with gasoline.

Best comment ever on KZbin. Thank you ShyGuy711, it was a real blessing reading these words.

Amen.now let's desolate the Fallen.for the last enemy to be destroyed is the Angel of death..shine bright in this dark broken world.but surely goodness overcomes evil.the light shines in the darkness but the darkness cannot fat home the light.journey well my brothers.fight the good fight.and learn the lessons. We all must learn from our failures.that is the true meaning of repentance.making the true effort to change.surely we will fail in areas of lives.for the wages of sin is death..the body fades as a flower.but the spirit is eternal.and death the doorway ..excellent comment.

[@Hofboys]

People comment on bands changing styles.. The world changes, they can't keep doing the same sound their entire band life.. If you don't like it, leave, go find a new band. They make money and NEW fans from this style, losing you is okay with them seeming you're the type of person to complain.

[@sh9683]

Hofboys I have liked demon hunter since i found out about them. they don;t disappoint album after album, i have known demon hunter since summer of darkness. but I like there stuff right from their very first album. extremist did not disappoint. I will buy there next album should they come out with another.

[@MaSsCaLaMiTy]

Hofboys I agree Ryan talks about this a lot. they change slowly and do test songs almost every album like life war for instance, to see what the reaction is then they move in the direction they feel had the best response from the fans. its what keeps them improving and changing but in enough of a difference to allow new listeners in. if anything the only reason they may have lost fans is because its becoming more politically incorrect to listen to this type of music but that is fine, if they are only fans as long as its "cool" then not much of a loss

[@sarameireles2839]

Única BR! ♥♥♥

[@F1stcmgetsum]

What makes me upset is no one knows demon hunter. Their underground. Like metal heads I ask they say no they havent heard of demon hunter even though they have some of the best songs I have ever heard. We dont care from True defiance is my Ringtone for i listened to that song all day for like 7 hours for like 3 months. I'm a demon hunter fan for life

[@TheJoshery]

Just curious--are you guys that are listening to this mostly old DH fans, or did they loose a bunch as they slowly changed styles?

[@donutsacrifice2588]

well, i've been hooked to DH for two years now. idk about the rest of us, but yea. how about you? and also, i dont think they changed styles, really, more like they just are starting to get the effects of being a band for so long. but idk. *shrug*

[@TheJoshery]

Zach Bartu well, to be honest, I don't really dig this last stuff, but to each his own. They're early 2000's stuff was much different than this! It's good for them though that they're solidifying their style.

[@FalconOfStorms]

Old fan going back to self-titled. Actually, most of their stuff is different than all of their other stuff. Self-titled and Summer of Darkness were very similar, then the Triptych was completely different. Then, Storm and Thorn were pretty similar, with True Defiance being slightly different. And now Extremist is the most unique album they've done. Demon Hunter doesn't stay static, that's for sure. But it's still filled with classic DH style -- thrash, death and speed. I suggest giving Extremist another chance or two. Blast it at full volume while taking a long drive. Notice how much the band has improved their skills, and how they're starting to play with musical theory and their own tropes. Feel the way the bonus track, 'Helpless Hope', swings. Note how truly guttural 'Death' is, and how much heart 'Gasoline' and 'I Will Fail You' have. This band has reached a new apex with this album.

[@scarsremain7]

I think their whole style changed when they released The Triptych. Of all the albums that one is my favorite because they found their style and became popular through it. But to each his own, this stuff is really good and I appreciate the immense amount of talent it takes. Plus the bass drops are a nice addition

This song is about forgiveness. IMO. Which is also a big part of Christianity / christian music.

[@MiracleMortgages]

I think Demon Hunter's message resonates with MANY christians, and non Christians alike. Take the time out to go watch a few videos and tesitmonies of the guys in the band... I think you'll find that God's love shows through MANY of the songs that they play, despite the fact that none of the songs they perform are traditional por contemporary christian music.

[@drago2021]

sk8terbruhXD4653 "Christian" music is a ridiculous name for an entire genre of music. Because something doesn't have a piano and a violin it can't be about God? People can't be aggressive and still love God and their fellow man? Besides, listen to the lyrics of this song. It's about erasing your mistakes and being a better person. How is that NOT uplifting? Carry Me Down, Storm the Gates of Hell, I will Fail You; even if the songs aren't all happy and "I love everything!" they all carry a rooted, Christian message. To say, "This is too loud, it can't be something God would like," is a pretty strange thing to say when you consider the things God is said to have done.

[@sh9683]

Josh Schnids this song is about {not} apologizing for his strong and unwavering belief in God. and his not so popular worldview. he promises to snuff out the words he said that offended those who have a mainstream worldview with gasoline, in other words, he is not sorry at all. look up what Ryan says about this song, I paraphrased it. you can look it up if you want the direct meaning

And it's not even about speed, it's just....like, this is the kind'a song you close out a set with, and barely even that. This is called a "filler track," if I ever heard one. The only congratulations to this goes to the sound engineers that made this sound decent. ...worst metal song of 2014.

Could be worse, while their messaging can be clearly read as religious, they dont have to word it obviously, so makes us Atheists able to enjoy the song for its well written lyrics and good tune.
