How are these guys able to stay so good for so long? Most bands typically lose flavor after x number of albums. But these guys seem to get stronger over time lol
We are all comatose We are overfed and Under undernourished, yearning for something more Never starving yet Never quite satisfied Carnal but without useful flesh or mind. Yeah... I am a walking contradiction That's found consistency Consuming everything All without producing sustenance In the parallels we struggle Struggle to upkeep There is a better way for us to be set free From all it is we crave There must be more to life Than to simply stay alive... To simply stay alive We are not the same As I hope to show There is a better way If we just let go We are not... We are not the same We are not... We are not the same Let go... In the tension between devouring want or simple need It's clear the only lines between the ones we preserve We are not the same As I hope to show There is a better way If we just let go We are not... We are not the same We are not... We are not the same Let go... We are not the same And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep There's a better way for us to be... for us to be set free And in the parallels (parallels) We struggle to upkeep (struggle to upkeep) There's a better way for us to be... for us to be set free We are not the same As I hope to show There is a better way If we just let go We are not... We are not the same We are not... We are not the same Let go... We are not the same
And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls. If the Church locks their doors, God will use the "devil" to spread the message. Long live AILD!! Thanks for the ministry, guys! God Bless!
"Parallels" We are all comatose. We are overfed and under...undernourished, yearning for something more. Never starving yet never quite satisfied. Carnal but without useful flesh or mind. Yeah... I am a walking contradiction that's found consistency consuming everything, all without producing sustenance. In the parallels we struggle... struggle to upkeep, there is a better way for us to be set free. From all it is we crave, there must be more to life than to simply stay alive... to simply stay alive. We are not the same as I hope to show. There is a better way if we just let go. We are not... we are not the same. We are not... we are not the same. Let go... In the tension between devouring want or simple need it's clear the only lines between the ones we preserve. We are not the same as I hope to show. There is a better way if we just let go. We are not... we are not the same. We are not... we are not the same. Let go... We are not the same. And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep, there's a better way for us to be... for us to be set free. And in the parallels (parallels) we struggle to upkeep (struggle to upkeep), there's a better way for us to be... for us to be set free.
dude as i lay dying is one of the greatest bands on earth....and this song is my favorite by them, the guitar is amazing, and the lyrics are orgasmic...and i am athiest yet this is my third favorite band lol
At first I was willing to hate and give up on this band after listening to a greater foundation but listening to this song I now realize they're not that bad
everyone has tattoos these days, and metalcore bands are fucking amazing it's all about the live performances. listening to music at my computer brings me back to the shows i've been to
at the beginning of this epic solo you can see nick smiling, that shows me that he love playing guitar more than other people, its his passion and so he plays :D
Best band ever in my opinion. Every year they progress some may disagree and you are entitled to your opinion. My fav band and you can't go wrong with AILD.
I'm still amazed at just how solid the drums are. The double kicking is fast, but more importantly, CLEAN and even! Amazing. I love the drums in AILD songs. Drives me continuously to be a better drummer. There's a definite difference between just playing fast, and playing accurately. This drummer does both flawlessly.
I think its their best album yet. You can tell they really tried to make this more technical and professional. They really improved and matured as a band. Bravo As I Lay Dying....You Keep Amazing Me!
AILD (and the powerless rise) is just something so incredible O.o AILD is one thing that i MUST see in live at least once in my life, hopefully in near future
