The final single released in the build up to their new album coming out tomorrow, Silent Planet's Visible Unseen is about the epidemic of homeless LGBT kids in the United States. While Silent Planet does not consider themselves a Christian band, this song is definitely like a lot of their early work: drenched in religious reference and allusions to the Bible.
The lyrics are in the video description and are worth a look. As with many other Planet songs, there's a lot of footnotes to what exactly being referenced. For example, this paragraph is full of footnotes:
Am I only flawed when I am alive? Only your child if I live denied? I ask of you, Benevolence, was I made just to be broken? (9) Our faith became a silver shield - insulated from compassion. (10) Praising the prosperity, (11) repressing their identity. (12) I’ll show you hell is a place - it’s in the secrets we keep. Oh God… How those secrets keep me. This isn’t love this is escape. Coerced conformity…fixed on the dust in their eye. Forest fires rage in mine. (13)
Inspired by a conversation with a with a brave young friend, who is transgender.
