Collide

Skillet's "Collide" lives in the tension its title names, where faith and fear press against each other and neither fully wins. The opening verse pictures a repeated collapse — falling again, watching others tear down the life you've built — and asks the plain question of where to go when the only thing the opposition wants is for you to live afraid. The chorus answers not with certainty but with stubbornness: something deep inside keeps faith alive even when hiding feels like the only option left. That word "something" repeats like a pulse, unnamed and unproven, holding the singer close precisely when they admit they don't know. The second verse turns the corner slightly, acknowledging that healing itself can hurt, that stepping out requires taking a chance while fear is still in the room. The song never resolves the collision; it just keeps holding on, asking how long and answering with the same quiet insistence. It's a portrait of belief that survives without being sure of itself.
