Songfacts®:

  • This contains snippets from the 2005 horror/thriller movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
  • The album title is taken from a lyric in this song. Frontman Spencer Chamberlain told Christian Music Today why they named their set Lost in the Sound of Separation. He explained: "The whole story is all pretty much the last two years of my life. It could be interpreted as me trying to separate the things that I should be doing—what God is actually calling me to do—and the things that I actually do. As Christians, we fall all the time and do things that are selfish. We know what we're supposed to do, but can't always hear which voice in our heads is the right one and the wrong one. Lost in the Sound of Separation is trying to string out and differentiate all the different voices talking at the same time in our heads: the conscience of God, best friends, parents, and anyone telling us [what do to and how to live]."
