It amazes me how much this band has matured through out the years, in some ways they really changed but as I can see with this song, they never lost their sting! Atreyu is always packing that powerful punch
He probably doesn't remember it, but I hung out with Brandon Saller at a hole-in-the-wall bar in OKC, OK in like 2011 when my friend opened up for his side project Hell or Highwater. 45 of the best minutes of my life. You guys are amazing! I will always cherish that memory.
I'm forever greatful that I found your music 12 years back , you have in some ways made me who I am today and your music have taking me through some rough times. peace and love from sweden !
I requested they make a video for this song in Jan 2016. I posted it on their FB page. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! My children will grow up to the same love i felt listening to Butterfly Kisses way back in the day. Atreyu has kept me going so long, through my tour with the Army, my time in Iraq, my babies... Atreyu is LIFE... ALEX, I WILL come and get tattoos from you! I am now 28... it has been over 10 years since I first heard ATREYU, you guys have (and always will) be my heroes!
Disassociate Try not to feel Pay no attention to it It won't seem real A blind eye enables what we quell Then nature takes it course And breaks your will I can't pick up the pieces As fast as you throw them away I can't hold you together If you don't want to stay Don't want to be your light I burned myself so much I died inside So what is left of me? A bitter broken memory Don't want to live your life I can no longer even sympathize With what you've come to be A bitter broken memory Here we are You expect me to face hell's fury I survive Sharing the pieces of your heartache I'm imperfect too, a jaded monster just like you I can barely fake it for me And I won't play the game for the benefit of you I can't pick up the pieces As fast as you throw them away I can't hold you together If you don't want to stay Don't want to be your light I burned myself so much I died inside So what is left of me? A bitter broken memory Don't want to live your life I can no longer even sympathize With what you've come to be A bitter broken memory Don't want to be your light I burned myself so much I died inside So what is left of me? A bitter broken memory Don't want to live your life I can no longer even sympathize With what you've come to be A bitter broken memory A bitter broken memory A bitter broken memory (Yay lyrics!)
It's crazy to me that this song came out in 2015, yet, it somehow makes me feel super nostalgic. Maybe it's because it reminds me of old Atreyu. Epic track nonetheless.
IT SURE IS!..."THIS WHOLE ALBUM, 'LONGLIVE' Should've been the follow up after "THE CURSE" As ATREYU are in their ELEMENT!!! THIS is what we should've been getting from them ALL ALONG! TO ME, THIS IS THE LAST ATREYU ALBUM- LONGLIVE, As their music from other albums is allll over the place, SURE I ENJOY "SOME" of their other material, more like 2-3 songs off albums such as LEAD SAILS PAPER ANCHORS, CONGREGATION OF THE DAMNED, A DEATH GRIP ON...THEN THIS ALBUM WAS THEIR ENORMOUS COMEBACK AFTER HIATIS, ... Then material was released that is better left alone! This is just my honest opinion.
Man. I remember been in HMV years ago and there was a 2 for 1 offer on CDs and I randomly picked out 'The Best Of Atreyu' not knowing who they were. because the cover art was sick. One of the best decisions I ever made.
I freaking Love You guy's! Lead sails and paper anchor's is my favorite full record. Paper castle is currently my main jam, and House of Gold is my song to my 16 year old daughter. You guys kick ass! Never stop making amazing music. Wish I would of found you guy's before the underworld sound soundtrack.
This albums screams Atreyu... Glad this album meant so much to you guys and I hope it can relate to others as it did me. It's been too long since I've seen you guys... Glasshouse in 2003?... Holy fuck, I'm old.
I have a problem with this song, it's less than 4 mins long, I've had to create a playlist with just this song until someone brings out a 10 hour repeat 🤘
This is a bit long and I doubt you guys will read this but I just wanted to say, thank you. Atreyu has been my inspiration since I first discovered you guys in 2001, after a Google search of my all time favorite movie named "The Never Ending Story." I began drumming because of the passion I saw within all of you since the beginning. Sadly, after an accident I had, I lost the ability to play. That did not stop me from creating music however. I'm a music producer now. My music is completely outside this genre but, it is you guys who kept and continue to keep me going for something I truly love doing. I may not have much of a popularity or as much money as I would like but it's that drive that I still see in you guys that kept me going, despite my disability or limitations. No matter how bad I want to quit or give up, thinking I'm not good enough or by remembering what I am no longer able to do, all of it seems to disappear as soon as I pop in your albums and start singing along. I mean this in all honesty, thank you. Be safe out there and I wish you all the very best. ~Starlit Ocean
I’ll always love this video, recognizing clips from the Seattle show. Bumped into Alex after the show. So nervous dropped my phone when I asked for a picture 😂 will always be a good memory 🖤
I saw you guys at Knotfest Mexico in 2015, it was my dream to see Atreyu live, and it was fucking awesome! one of the best performances of the festival, you guys ROCKED, thank you so much for your music and your energy on stage
I met you guys at the mascarade in Georgia, im 25 years old i meant it when i said it the and i mean it now, your music saved my life thank you so much!
This band is still amazing to this day, people saying they're no longer relevant but music is always relevant. Doesn't matter if it is new or old, this band is still amazing.
Is it just me or did they stick to their guns from album 1 to the last. One of the greatest bands on the planet...💯💯💯 I know they have helped me in some tuff times .
It's cool because I've met them several times now, and if they seem like really cool, nice guys, they're 10 times cooler in person. The bassist Porter is one of the nicest and coolest people I've ever met, and Alex, the screamed vocals guy, I bought a tattoo from. He's a really awesome person. Has a great heart. And the drummer/singer Brandon usually does small personal free shows of his own band Hell Or Highwater's music after every Atreyu show. Everyone who goes gets to sing with him and talk with him and take pictures. It's been some of the coolest experiences I've ever had to get to see these guys when they come to my state.
