Poison the well - nerdy acoustic 

I listened to this song many times, and I didn't realize how beautiful the lyrics are.

i thought this was going to be horrible, but it's quite interesting and very worthy of a listen. the original is probably still one of my favorite hardcore songs of all time. makes me yearn for hardcore in the early '00s again.

Played this for my daughter every day after she was born for like a month...just listening to this again 5 years after....you have no idea how much this puts me back there...thanks for posting this honestly...it means alot

Poison The Well was the band that got it right the first time around. Here we are a decade and bands are still using their template. PTW will forever be one of my favorite bands.

I honestly listen to both versions of this song every fucking day

PTW has STAYED my favorite band for over ten years now. the entire back of my calf is a poison the well tattoo. I love you guys.

This song. This is my favorite version, 2006 i would listen to nerdy on repeat, in art class, on the bus, etc. This will forever be my favorite song, engrained forever in my memories.

Talk about a song that saved my life. Still get chills

These dudes were my first live show around 2001 at Ace Of Spades in Sactown after my buddy snuck me in cause was 21 n over and me Billy got a couple beers and then my hole life changed after that 🤘 Shout out to my dude Billy wherever u are these days 🤙

This is literally my favorite song ever.

I’m just so in love w the harmonics and rhythm of this song it’s so Beautiful it’s like a heavy gritty yet angelical jingle from like a valentines card

Why do your eyes paralyze me? What makes me feel this way? Just carry me away with silence And heartbeats as rapid Just thinking of your embrace And how it makes me feel I just want to feel this way forever Forever Sleep on portraits Painted as perfect as you Why have I been given the chance to fly Away When I'm not with you I feel lesser I’m alone Why have I been given the chance to fly? I remember your face imprinted On angels Your voice as beautiful as the sounds of waves Crashing against my heart Time slows down when you look at me I'm infatuated with this Infatuated with you With you.... Sleep on portraits Painted as perfect as you Why have I been given the chance to fly Away When I’m not with you I feel lesser I’m alone Why have I been given the chance to fly? Yeah I remember your face imprinted On angels It's so hard for me to understand why I hadn't found you before Don’t dull away Hold my hand

A decade later and I still get chills whenever I listen to this song. It’s raw and unpolished but I think that it captures the depth of the song perfectly! From tears when I first heard this song to chills from the heavy nostalgia that it beautifully brings me.

i'm infatuated with this cover.. i haven't listened to 'metal' since my high school years(05-07) and it feels so nice to hear this song again to remind me of all i've lost and how happy i am to hold the one i love and still get lost in her eyes. and this version is one i can show to my girl... let's see if she can appreciate it like i have.

the answer is: awesome i fell in love with PTW in 2002 when i was i guess 12 or 13 years old. that was when i was big on the hardcore scene back then. people didn't fuck with these guys but i always sang their praise. this song is awesome. it's like a private slice of heaven for us oldschool PTW fans. Like a secret fishing spot, or a really awesome place in the woods that no one knows about respect

great times in high school with this song. I love it

I honestly love this more than most people I know. I remember listening to this song in full glory in 2004.

Wow... I cant believe i never knew there was an acoustic version to this song. this has to be the best discovery i've made on youtube.

I listen to this acoustic version first then the regular one, it’s a darn masterpiece!

This always makes me melt every time I hear this. Thanks for this.

Poison The Well, Deftones, Hopesfall, Glassjaw...will always be my favorite bands.

This song has been in my life and surfaced I the most interesting times. Both hardcore and acoustic are equally amazing in their own way

Still here listening to this masterpiece

I've been listening to this since it was posted, and this is one of the best god damn songs I've heard. 110K views? Not sure if that's awesome, or tragic....

well, i still think its a love song. that line "when im not with you i feel lesser alone" could also mean he feels lesser alone because he simply knows that shes there... and to be infatuated matches the feelings when youre really in love.

this is good man. damn good, i've been listening to this band since i was a kid and this is the best cover of them i've ever heard. you got talent

Still the best love song

I’m a huge fan of PTW and never could have interpreted this song this way on my acoustic. I tried for years to turn it acoustic. Even better now that are touring again in 2021!

Twenty years later and still jamming it

Why do your eyes paralyze me What makes me feel this way Just carry me away with silence and heartbeats As rapid thinking about your embrace And how it makes me feel I just want to feel this way forever Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you Why have I been given the chance to fly When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone I remember your face / imprinted on angels Your voice as beautiful / as the sounds of waves Crashing against my heart Time slows down when you look at me I'm infatuated with this / infatuated with you It's so hard for me to understand why I hadn't found you before don't dull away Hold my hand

Fellas, if she won't agree to walk down the aisle at your wedding to the original. Maybe, she'll agree to this version!🖤🤷🏾‍♂️

This song is so incredibly dear to my heart and has been for years. It has strangely reincarnated itself to a melody for my daughter. Xoxo. Beautiful lyrics

You cover is awesome, very creative interpretation! well done.

every time i go for a acoustic jam, i end up searching this video along the line

If your gonna thumb down...... don't. Just go watch something else... shit is so fly

That was really fucking good. shit. im amazed at how you were still aple to capture all of the angst and emotion that goes into this song

thanks a lot for this music. really means a lot.

@djnorge, There are so many amazing things to experience in life before you let it pass by. Before I go, I want to travel the world with a band and I'm not going to let that dream go until the end. Don't let yourself down over that one girl. If she's not the one, you can still always wait for a better one to come around that truly loves you back. There are always more opportunities ahead of you, don't let one thing get you down!

Loveloveloooooovelove

This is a tough one to go acoustic with

Loved it

🔥🔥🔥🔥

linda canção! !!

ommgg i so happy somemade this..and that got to hear it!! i nearly in tears im so happy thank u so much!!! : )

Really awsome cover

wow...the nostalgia. Maybe a tear too

How can you not enjoy this? It's so good

My favorite song ever. This is such a bad ass version.

this song has to be the most amazing song lyrically i have ever heard

This is awesome, keep up the good work.

tears came to my eyes thinking of my girl like from nowhere

great song

Que recuerdos con esta canción....

words only love could genuinley inspire. i want to meet this girl.

the lyrics to this song are beautiful

OMG i never heared this song in acoustic version its just awesome congratulations dude (Y)

I don't think this is poison the well, I'm pretty sure its a cover. I've had this song on my old mp3 players/phones for years. It had a different band as the artist every time I "legally" downloaded it over the years. Glad to see it up here but the accuracy of the title might be sketchy

@TheSamoanElvis perfectly said, i dont believe in keyboard warriors, but if that wasn't already pointed out i think i would have just dedicated my life to finding the man behind that nonsense, so thanks for saving the trouble, again well said

@destinationuknown85 when he sings it he sings it like....i feel lesser, alone. not lesser alone

Another great acoustic covers for PTW Nerdy!

my love language

This song Will be with Me Forever........

i remember i wrote all these lyrics in a note to my ex boyfriend lol aww :)

@myeahok "The Opposite..." was released in 99.

humans get the choice of being honest... hence why we rule the world.. yet how sad how far we go to not be..

POISON THE WELL - NERDY Por que seus olhos me paralisam O que me faz sentir assim Apenas me leve embora com silêncio e batimentos cardíacos Como pensamento rápido sobre o seu abraço E como isso me faz sentir Eu só quero me sentir assim para sempre Durma em retratos pintados tão perfeitos quanto você Por que tive a chance de voar Quando não estou com você, me sinto menos sozinho Lembro-me de seu rosto / impresso em anjos bonito / como o som das ondas Batendo contra o meu coração O tempo diminui quando você olha para mim Estou apaixonado por isso / apaixonado por você É tão difícil para mim entender por que Eu não tinha te encontrado antes, não se apavore Segure minha mão

This is so much different from the original (which melted major fucking face by the way)

this is so great! and your voice reminds me of the singer of muse a little bit btw

@ofeki23 either it's meant like Even though i'm not with you or like i feel lesser, alone. that's my interpretation

mm good job suposse

this rendition is so 1998. Good year

"É ela se foi, já não estava presente no corpo. Embora ao seu lado, nunca mais seria sua..."

does anybody know if this is an acoustic version played by the band or is this a cover? otherwise it's very beautiful.

NYC Dec 7th see you soon

@destinationuknown85 Maybe about a nerdy kid having a major crush on a girl he will never get... I used to listen to this thinking about a girl i loved, but now i don't think it is actually a love song. That line "When I'm NOT with you I feel lesser alone", means he feels more alone with the person than without. Think about it :)

♥♥

@CelebrityMugshot can u imagine what this girl looked like or just how good she was to em.. i want a girl who inspire's me this much!!!!!!

@ipseadamovos remembering never " last night alone" off she looks good in red is cool and a song / instrumental by "nodes of ranvier " called - "its going to be ok" maybe like those , check em

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

So fucking beautiful

@djnorge calm down man, we are who we are for a reason. Don't let that kinda stuff bring you down buddy! In the big picture of life, ur not alone and you also arnt much different than anyone else. No one is perfect man :) not even that girl u liked!

dude this is dope as fuck!

@brianreading thats the whole point, its simple and to the point, like if someone WAS speaking to someone and explain how this song isnt poetic?

i lost my love as well i stare into the river out on the pier every night and remember how we used to do the same together and now its lost sometimes i feel her next to me and when i call her name she disappears sometimes i want to just walk off the pier and let the abyss overcome the wretched sorrow i feel but i know if i do so i will lose the visions i have of her left within me go there every night i dont miss a night i have nothing to lose without her i miss you so much

time slows down when you look at me.

@djnorge yeah dog, girls aren't attracted to guys who think of themselves like that. you have to love yourself in order to be able to love anyone else. if you feel different and isolated from everyone you need to embrase that and come to terms with thats just who you are and love yourself. you will be suprised but people pick up on that and want to be around people like that cuz really thats what everyone is trying to accomplish themselves...

Prime

The only other way I see to interpret that still reinforces it being a love song in saying that he only feels like something more when she's with him.

pretty good, the guitars could be tighter tho

this is legit

What a fuckin version dude, awesome, congrats !!!!

fucking awesome.

hey good job guy. did you use the electric guitar tabs or did u revised it

@Erika12203 dam i wish i can see it happen. Awsome have fun

omg this song has a fucking acoustic version?? SICK

me and you forever

This awesome. Is this actually Poison the Well or an acoustic cover by a fan?

@Erika12203 FUCK YES! :)

can you tell me where i can download this song???

Do Poison the Well just have a backlog of weirdo b-sides. Like this and the Smashing Pumpkin's Today covers?
