WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Honest" appears to be a song about hope. No matter what pain or torment you've suffered in life. No matter how often you haven't been honest with yourself or others. No matter how much the struggle brings you down. There is always time to change for the better. There is always a light at the end of every tunnel. Of course, with Thousand Foot Krutch being a Christian rock band, there is often a tie to God and Heaven in their songs and "Honest" is definitely one of them.

CURRENT STATUS OF THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH:
Thousand Foot Krutch is a Canadian band that got it's start back in 1995. Originally called Oddball, the band released one album under that moniker called "Shutterbug". Soon after they changed their name to Thousand Foot Krutch. Early on in the band's career, they were very much a nu metal band utilizing a rock/rap sound. By the time their third album, "Phenomenon" dropped, the band started to alter it's sound to a more mainstream rock sound. Once album number four, "The Art Of Breaking", was released, the rapping was pretty much gone from the band's sound. The band had a nice 8 year run with famous Christian rock label Tooth & Nail Records from 2003 till 2011 and since have released their albums through their own label, TFKMusic. The band's 2012 release, "The End Is Where We Begin" debuted at #5 on Itunes while their 2014 album, "Oxygen: Inhale", peaked at #11 on the Billboard charts, making it their highest charting album to date. As of February 2014, Thousand Foot Krutch has sold over 1 million albums world wide. The band's most recent effort was 2016's "Exhale". Thousand Foot Krutch is huge in it's native Canada as well as being a very successful act in the United States as well. When it comes to mainstream rock music, TFK is a clear headlining act. If you are a fan of bands like Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach, 12 Stones or Trapt then you would most likely enjoy the music of Thousand Foot Krutch. Most, if not all of TFK's music has hopeful themes to them. This is most likely because the band is very up front with their Christian values and religious beliefs and they definitely incorporate those beliefs in their lyrics and songs. I'm not really a big religious person, but good music is good music and TFK has played good music for more than 20 years now!
