At the End Of August Lyrics & Meanings: Crawling from the floor, / I've been there before. / There I was staring / back at the bottom. / Let's just make this clear, / it came from these tears. / Carved across our chest, loyalty. / / And with the new light, / there was young hope, / to underline the meaning, / and carve our names in. / / At the end of August, the end of... / At the end of August, the end of... / I'll never replace the ones I first made, Jesus, does anyone? / / So I lit lanterns, / to light up all these words. / Looking back I know / it's what I'd die for. / And through all of this life, / smashed away all the strife, / a friendship I paint, untouchable. / / And I want you to know, / how all of you made me, / how all of you saved me and, / I'll never replace the ones I first made, Jesus, does anyone?

August Burns Red - Composure Lyrics & Meanings
|
|
Composure Lyrics & Meanings: Shake it off. Pick yourself up, they say. Your life fell apart in your hands, and you’ve got the scars to prove it. It’s not the first time, and they’re getting deeper. Pull it together. Button up your shirt. Roll down those sleeves. Don’t let them see how you’ve coped. More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand. It seems like your giving up on everything you worked for. It’s pulling you under. It’s gripping around your throat. Life can be overwhelming, but don’t turn your back on the strongest crutch you’ve ever. They have always been there to brace your fall. Wave goodbye to the past. You’ve got your whole life to lead. It’s time to gain some ground.

Prepare to engage. / Our armor tight to the skin, this shield it bears His name. / We are strapped to the teeth, but our swords are lodged tightly in our throats. / We are going under. We cannot swim under these conditions. / We’re drowning quicker and quicker. / We cannot swim, we cannot swim, we can’t swim under these conditions. / We are drowning quicker and quicker. / We cannot swim, we cannot swim under these conditions / / We have become what we have feared. / Being one with this world. / We’ve become one with this world, Yea. / / Pray for Heaven’s titans to rain down, and spare us the pain. / We’re going under.

Indonesia Lyrics & Meanings: This plane is going down in flames / and this time there's no black box to capture your last words / A situation we can't make any sense of / Sacrifice costs all of us everything / This is the time to turn down our heads and turn up our hearts / There's no scale to balance this out / Some say may those who curse days, curse this day / There's no scale to balance this out / How does a man wrap his mind around eternity / when he cant even explain his own composition? / Don't you see it's bigger than you? / He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, / and the white on his flag brings colors to shame / The earth will swallow the water / The clouds refill the oceans / The earth will swallow the water and spit out / The clouds will refill, refill the oceans / The earth will swallow / (Old mountains will crumble / ....?) / the water and spit out, and stronger ones will rise / The clouds will refill / This is the portrait of the humble and broken. / This plane crashed down in flame

Meddler Lyrics & Meanings: This moment will too pass us by / It's this notion inside all of us to prioritize through our selfish eyes / To be the bull behind the rampage / The reason for all the riot / We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's / With more problems and less pride / We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's / The gallows were not supposed to look like this / Oh God, / We live in misery, lying here in desperation / We need you here more than anything right now / If everything's relative, then why the emptiness in our souls? / Trying to untie the knot we thought we were untying our entire lives / We're busied up and burnt out / Everyone together, we will strengthen ourselves / We will Because now we know you wont ever fly fast enough to make time stand still Stop, listen, and learn / You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still

Existence Lyrics & Meanings: This hollow feeling, the knowledge that you exist amidst your insecurities. / Cover up to only coward out and never shutting up only to never speak aloud. / Have you dried up entirely.

The Seventh Trumpet Lyrics & Meanings: I can no longer tell the days from the nights. The moon glows an eerie red and I could swear it was covered in blood. Something big is going to happen.

A people more concerned with the temporary pleasures of this world rather than your eternal salvation? I am now convinced that this is the end. As I raise my head towards the heavens to take one last look at the moon, the stars begin to fall.

Redemption Lyrics & Meanings: I trust in you for life to live, and air to breath. / Purity fills my lungs. / I no longer live in solitude. / No longer bound. / My heart beats with great devotion. / This is the start to a new beginning. / On my knees praying for mercy. / Hands raised high, humble and broken.

I am just a man with a heart and sinful hands. / I am a fallen victim. / Lord, show me the way. I ask of you Father, let my words be your words. / Let my thoughts be your thoughts. / To you, I give my praise. / Show me the way. Take me in your arms. Never let me go. / Lord, show me the way, as I give myself to you. / Never let me go. / Hold me with your everlasting love. / Be my strength. Be my voice. Be my glory. Set me free.

(3x) / / Let's go. / / Why are we led by a misled generation? / Everything true and complete is cut out. / Everything true and complete is cut out, / And swept under the floor boards, / Left to drown (left to drown) in an... / / Ocean.

Your Little Suburbia Is In Ruins Lyrics & Meanings: Open those eyes. Wake from peace. Orders are some favorite color. Same old, same old is their battle cry. Why don't we keep searching for a new flavor? Our hearts have become a routine. Worthy kings have broken backs for nothing. Unless we cherish all with pride, the lines on our face will turn into canyons of sorrow instead of hope. They didn't die from cold without but they died from cold within. And I just can't stop denying that our brothers are in miserable pain. Stop short. Lend a hand and break the chains of regularity that you lean so closely upon. Your little suburbia is in ruins. Tear down all the assumptions you hold, for I guarantee they are false. Sometimes the best feeling may be the one that kills.

Twenty-One Grams Lyrics & Meanings: As I follow you, where will you lead me? / To the ends of the world, or is that just the beginning? / I've rolled through villages / And done my best to pass on your name / How much is too much? / How far is too far? / As I push on and leave everything behind / The front line swears I'm going into battle blind / A life dedicated to what I can't see / Still grasping what I was told to believe / / What kind of cruel truth only presents itself / In the moment you die? / In the moment you die / / The facts are becoming less and less transparent / Constantly mixed with the thoughts of the incoherent / Dig deep, they're hidden beneath centuries of dust and dirt, / Covered up by the evolution of the earth / I'm struggling with the blessing of the unseen / It's harder and harder to not be accusing / Continuing to draw the lines of acceptance / I'm trying and trying to translate the evidence / / Why do we owe anyone repentance? Repentance / While seeking answers to these question

Black Sheep Lyrics & Meanings: You’ve fallen captive to what you thought would save you, what you thought would clean your slate. / You’re in the thick of it now and you have swallowed the hook. / What’s done is done. / We’ll continue on with or without you. / Pain must exist in order for healing to survive. / Neither one will ever serve their purpose alone. / You’ve fallen in love with a dream you’ve never had. / You’ve fallen in love with a surreal way of living. / To late to wake, farewell and good luck to you. See you at the end. / Too late to wake, to lay too waste. / I’m throwing in the towel. / This is my goodbye. / Don’t worry. We saw through your trickery, and were coming out alive. / See you at the end. / What was once your life is now lifeless. What was once your life is now your jail cell.

The Blinding Light Lyrics & Meanings: The fear is what shelters them. / It’s what shades their eyes and muffles their ears. / Keep them inside. Lock them up in a closet known as home. / In here no one can find them. / In here no one can fill them with filth. They were born with the silverware clenched in their teeth, and so help us, they will die with it too. / None of them will make anything of themselves. / They don’t need their own lives. / The ones we have planned will work just fine. / The world is a terrifying place. / Without us they will never make it. / They will never reach their potential. / They will never ever surpass us. / Without our watchful eye, they might just leave us behind. / /
