This is such a gorgeous and powerful song. I have always been the black sheep everywhere I'v gone. I've always been an antisocial person who is always alone and always hurts everything that's against her. Listening to this I realized my true self and this song just makes me confident and makes me feel powerful.
Yes never surrender even when they come at you with all there false accusations and they know better attitide.. stay true to who you are and never be who they expect you to be
Arch enemy is the most melodic heavy band there ever was. They are one of my top bands. Not to mention, she happens to be the hottest chicks ever and the hottest metal chick period.
I don't agree. What about Carla Harvey, Heidi Shepherd, Maria Brink, Angela Gossow, Simone Simons and Cristina Scabbia? And check out Jinjer, amazing band, the lead singer is a badass woman and, in my opinion she's more talented than Alissa.
This song helped me trough hell and beyond... There are things I can never explain to people. And it is safer if I don't..... So I fly alone. Awesomeness
When I was born the seed was sown I will not obey, my life is my own Battle rows, which do enslave me Exposed lies that enrage me I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell Never joined the herd, could not adjust well Slave and master, it's not for me I choose my own path, set myself free I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the pοwers that be The eagle flies alone Reject the system that dictates the norm This world is full of lies and deceit I ask my own betrayal, cut so deep Suffered defeat only to rise again I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone Alone! I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone
I love this message, the flip side though is that if you're always fighting, you loose out on peace. Peace and war are both a necessity, so be objective, study both sides, and look for the most probable efficient outcome. Regardless of peace or war were all human. I will stay true thru both positive and negative outcomes. Hope y'all do the same.
Normally I don't understand heavy metal singers, but somehow I understand Arch Enemy. This song describes a character I'm writing about whose father was a preacher that persecuted her for her nonconformacy. So she left him and pretended to be an atheist, though deep down inside she believes. She's just hurt.
I'm a christian but I've never been a believer. My parents always told me that it's just a way of manipulating people and as I grew older I realized they are right.
According to Jesus the laws were fulfilled through His crucifixion. I don't understand what 'rules' anyone is referring to? I believe that the only conformity that we as humans adhere to, is of this world and man's laws.
@@mrvonel3016 , it's simple, you just either know or you don't know. And if you ever need to believe in something. Just believe in yourself, having one main purpose: Temet nosce ... Beliefs just exists due to lack of knowledge. The more we know, the less we need to believe. And knowledge is Power ...
@@MrCroky123 According to your logic, if I am an educated, independent individual and have a belief (which I do), I am "weaker" or "have less power" (whatever that means) than an uneducated atheist who is constantly being manipulated by everyone? I don't see the logic here. "Beliefs just exist due to lack of knowledge". That's absolutely false. In my case (I don't consider myself ignorant, yet I am Christian) it's exactly the opposite. According to science, I am a biological machine without free will and purpose, all emotions and feelings of which are controlled by chemical reactions in my brain. I don't accept this idea for ideological reasons. Does it mean that I necessarily lack knowledge? If someone is fine with being a biological machine, it's their choice and there's nothing I can say against it. However, when people consider others stupid or weak on the basis of faith (often not knowing shit about science themselves), it looks ridiculous. By the way, I do believe in myself and I have no idea how one's faith contradicts this wonderful ability. I would say it works the opposite way, but whatever.
If you think you are free to do whatever you want then try to choose the day of your death and try to save your beloved ones from death. There's only one fact boy that no one had the power to avoid or hide from. And that is death.
Eagles eventually die just like all of us mortals, this song and lyrics enforces my faith in Christ. Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. I used to be rebellious , tough and stubborn till God humbled me and I surrendered to HIM. Now I have joy, peace and righteousness through him, He who offers eternal life and have conquered death.
I don't believe in a god. And I'm not sure what I've done to conquer death. But it seems like I have. I've been hit by a car hard enough to do 5 full flips before hitting the ground. I've fallen asleep on a motorbike at 100 kilometres an hour. Crashed my bike another time at 110 kilometres an hour. Had front and rear wheels slipping at 160 kilometres an hour. Had my motorbike airborne at 240 kilometres an hour. Fallen asleep in a car and had a truck wake me up with its horn coming straight at me. I've been told I'd be dead in under a day twice by doctors in the hospital. I pointed a loaded rifle at my head from 10 centimetres away. Pulled the trigger. And I'm still here. If there is a god. He wants no part of me.
Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father. If you confess and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ laid down his life and then rose again, you WILL be saved. Satan tries to convince people that there isn't sides in all this and that he isn't real. I can assure you there is and yes, he does. With a heart that aches for people, I love you all and so does Abba Father.
2 Corinthians 4:4 2 Corinthians 4:4 New Living Translation (NLT) 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. I won't go on or argue.. I pray that your eyes are opened and believe in the one true God. Why do you deny God if he's not real? Why protest so much. I use to listen to all these bands but my heart changed when I cried to Jesus. I pray you do the same. God loves you and so do I.
I like the lyrics but i hate the voice it irritates me and PS: you cant go against the stream unless you have a fucking boat with engine then you can do whatever you want babe but of you are ordinary swimmer this will be your ego speaking dont trust it
This song is what you call inspirational
obviously.
Powerful voice with an equally powerful message 🤟🏼
👍👍👍👍👍

You explained me lol I would say fly with me but sorry i fly alone 🦅
So beautiful! Same here, since I was like 4/5 years old. Beautiful journey for sure.
Good luck
Then change it lol
this is my song. since 20 years before I heard this angelic voice
Her angelic and demonic voice lol
Arch Enemy has always been on another level of awesome.

Totally agree
Children of Bodom...
An old metal band, by the name of Burzum is more melodic.
Yes itis
This song helped me trough hell and beyond... There are things I can never explain to people. And it is safer if I don't..... So I fly alone. Awesomeness
You don't need to explain to anyone. The right people will always have your back.
🧡💛
Music can easily do that. Meat Loaf's songs and Back to Bedlam by Jame Blunt has helped me through some times.
I really started crying while listening to this.
Blue Line Doge with Martial Skills why?
me too :3 it's because of the melody and lyrics :'( I can relate to this song :'(
Dude us eagles all meant to fly alone.
But me it fun
I don't think you cry to metal
This song describes me. I'd rather be a lonely eagle fighting for myself rather than a parrot flying in a flock of liars
When I was born the seed was sown
I will not obey, my life is my own
Battle rows, which do enslave me
Exposed lies that enrage me
I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell
Never joined the herd, could not adjust well
Slave and master, it's not for me
I choose my own path, set myself free
I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the pοwers that be
The eagle flies alone
Reject the system that dictates the norm
This world is full of lies and deceit
I ask my own betrayal, cut so deep
Suffered defeat only to rise again
I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
The eagle flies alone
Alone!
I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
I, I go my own way
I swim against the stream
Forever I will fight the powers that be
The eagle flies alone
Makes me feel powerful 👊
I'm in love with this woman
This song matches my personality way to well I love it hahaha
This song is getting me thru some rough times

I just got broken up with. This song makes me feel better. I don't need no man! I'm an eagle!
This song puts me at peace😊❤

Wish I could walk my own path like the lyrics says
Why can't you? I do it everyday. It actually comes to me easy honestly.
You can. Be you. Be strong. Who gets to tell you who can be. Only you.
- love the piano and the band itself. #ArchEnemyForever 🤘🖤💜♥️
This....many of us can relate to all these words
The lyrics to this song are great.
Amen I totally understand
Uma música incrível ❤️⭐
This song says me believe in yourself.

threat to democracy
power to feel free
I believe in Jesus. Good song though
I'm a atheist through and through and this song speaks volumes to me
Would you say being a christian means conformity? In your opinion, ofc
@@cassiosousa1912 In the Holly Bible there's a versicle where those who specting in Jehovah, as the eagles will fly.

Try not to believe. That's the ultimate power ! It will set you free.
@@MrCroky123 Could you tell me how exactly that works? Really keen to find out.

@@MrCroky123 Ayo you literally sound like a stereotype
Im a shy, 14 years old girl. Im playing the clarinet.
Why do I listen to this kind of music?
I should listen zu k-pop lol
Maybe you like this kind of music too?
You should listen to whatever empowers you to be the best you that you can be!
Be strong! Live well. Everyone that loves this music is family to you.
nice
true
Would it be weird for me to get my first tattoo of some of these lyrics if I’m not a die hard fan of the band
It's not weird if you believe in the lyrics. 💜
I fully intend to get a tattoo of an eagle with "The eagle flies alone" around the eagle, when I can.
No. In fact it's a great first tattoo especially if there is significant meaning behind it for you

Being a neurodivergent queer trans woman, this song speaks to me in spades.
ALOOOONNE!!!
FINALLY an atheist metal band!!!!! Been avoiding hard rock and metal for a while to avoid clerical brainwashing, now I'm finally back.

Okay thats what you believe
Me and most of the fans of this bband disagree
God does not exist
Satan does not exist
Get over it

Romans 1:25
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather then the Creator-who is forever praised, amen.

Oh no! I always thought she says "I have found betrayal consoleting" which might not even be a word, but you know, with a meaning like 'console' 🥲
