"Writing on the Walls" is the first single and ninth track from the Christian band Underoath's fifth album, Define the Great Line. The song has received heavy airplay on MTV, MTV 2, Fuse and many other music channels around the world. Supposedly, this song is directed toward Christians, telling them to try and find some comfort in a sin-stained world. Some lines that gives evidence to this is "I swear we need to find some comfort in this run-down place". In the video , the band is playing the song in the basement of an unusually small and cramped house. As the band plays, random events occur inside the house, like a man killing another man, and two kids practicing ballet and gymnastics.
