Stigmatized
The Calling · The Very Best Of [2011]
If we fight what's true, will we ever be
Even God himself, and the faith I knew
Shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you
CHORUS
Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized
I can feel the blood rushing through my veins
When I hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that I sit and pray
CHORUS
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized
We'll live our lives, we'll take the punches every day
We'll live our lives I know we're gonna find our way
I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I believe in you, and I don't really give a damn
If we're stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides,
We're gonna live our lives
Gotta live our lives
We're gonna live our lives
We're gonna live our lives, Gonna live our lives, Stigmatized
Stigmatized - The Calling
The Calling's "Stigmatized" stands as a defining track from their 2004 debut album, "II," showcasing the band's signature blend of pop-rock and R&B influences. Featuring the iconic vocal performance of lead singer Kristian Chenoweth, the song captures the emotional intensity characteristic of their early work. Released during the height of their mainstream success, the recording exemplifies the polished production style that defined the mid-2000s pop-rock era. While often associated with their greatest hits compilation, the original single remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the group's ability to craft anthemic songs that resonated with a wide audience. The track continues to be recognized for its melodic structure and the band's ability to deliver powerful, emotive performances that bridged the gap between rock and contemporary pop.
