I highly doubt that it was written with That idea in mind. Not saying it can't apply to the song. Songs are open to any ideas. But I think, since Ben wrote it, It's more a romantic song.

October has to be one of my favourite songs by evanescence!!! It reminds me of my boyfriend, whose birthday is in october!!! I think evanescences songs are good because you can bring your own meaning to them!! So if you believe its a christian song thats what it means to you!!! Personally I think its a love song, someone realising that they can't live without someone!!!

Ok, well, at first I didn't see it as a love song, but not too long ago, I had a bad break-up. We're back together, but that little unwanted break that I had from him really changed my outlook on this song. So, I see it more as a love song than a Christian one.

You didn't hear anything religious in the lyrics?

"I fall into your abounding grace"

"I fall before you"

"When night falls on me
I'll not close my eyes
I'm too alive
And you're too strong"

"I fall down before you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry."

"Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again."

I would say that it is most definitely a song to some sort of higher deity. I don't know too many people that say they fall into someone else's "abounding grace."

Guys! It doesn't matter if this song's really about religion or not. You think it is? Then it IS. You think it's just about love? Then it IS about love. The band says we can see in their lyrics what we want to. It isn't necessary to start a dispute in this thread

I agree With Lisa here..

"I Fall Into Your Abounding Grace" If you had a bad experience when you left someone that treated you wonderful and then they took you back, You'd Definatley find it as an Abounding Grace. But you could also look at it as in there's a higher power.

It can work Either way. Can we please stop arguing before the Mods come in here and shut everything down?

Hey it's right it may seem christian... but I don't think so. Amy Lee said once that she believes in God but the music she makes is nothing to do with God... I understand that you think that about it but I really don't think so. I guess it's a love song, of a very big love. I understand its feelings as many persons here. When you're someone who gives up completly to someone's company/love/friendship you feel the deepest and strongest things ever, I've felt what that songs sais once. And yes "abounding grace"... when you're in love everything about that person is "sacred to you"

. So I'm sure it's not christian, it seems but... as already said, I think Amy makes her music completly out of her God's beliefs... It's the strongest love song I've heart. So beautiful...

Ah yes, attack of the random song names :P I like this song, i didn't at first but i warmed to it. Her voice is just SO BEAUTIFUL... she could sing, like, simple plan and make it deep and moving.

I absolutely adore this song, it is so moving and romantic and sweet! I find that "Origin" has a lot of love songs on it! I wonder what happened to make them die out? I much prefer the softer songs that compliment her voice! (not that I don't like all of the other songs, I just find these very soothing and a lot nicer sounding)

I dont see this as either a love song or a religious song.
But i agree that it could be used for anything, which is whats so great about this song!
