@@truthBtold-ip2ur I like john Cooper as well but I don't think they around alike at all. John's voice is a lot gritter and Brandon's is smoother. That's how I hear them. It's all personal opinion.
This song is so true. Right now in my life I feel like there is a lot of pressure on me. As an individual you have no one to depend on but yourself. Life is quickly passing us by, it’s like I work to live and live to work. Let’s not forget about the time we have now and everything in between. We are the ticking of the clock as time passes us by…
I definitely miss the screaming from previous albums but damn this is awesome. Brandon’s singing parts were always my favorite, his voice is unique. It’s not old Atreyu, im glad they’re still making music. Just need some guitar solos then it be 🔥🔥🔥
Sorry that Brandon and the rest of the band are getting so much hate, I love the older albums with Alex, too, but the new music they are coming out with I think is just as good. It's a different style, a different chapter.
The first 40 sec made me lol as a 18hr a day to 48 hr str8 no sleep insomniac we are dying but atleast all the hours of life are in my youth and not crippled on 50meds. Its great music
Unfortunately a lot of the hate is coming from Alex he was talking negatively about the style of the album after he left the band even though he was present during a lot of the recording
Probably AI music. Computers are now finding working formulas and patterns to trigger nostalgia and familiarity, and thus a new popular song is made. Sure I'll work out what each bit reminds me of one day..
Lyrics: I wish I could fall asleep Thoughts of peace are haunting me Begging for a lucid dream My mental state is crushing me TV static, blinking eights Eyes wide open, can't escape I'm not breathing but it's all the same Is living just a losing game? Can't keep my head up I'm drowning underwater Life is getting harder Will I sink or swim? It's like the days past Slower than the nights last I just need a break, man Will I sink or swim? Insomnia Insomnia Will I sink or swim? Insomnia Insomnia Will I sink or swim? Insomnia I wish my brain could simply change like the weather But here I am, it's pouring rain without a fucking umbrella Strangers are screaming but I'm here all alone The walls come crashing down on me As I Echo my heart beat Shatter my lungs I can't escape my thoughts So I'll just swallow my tongue Spilling these words in blood onto a blank page I swear, I didn't feel this way back when I was young I swear, I didn't feel this way back when I was young Can't keep my head up I'm drowning underwater Life is getting harder Will I sink or swim? It's like the days past Slower than the nights last I just need a break, man Will I sink or swim? I'm taking my chances I'm leaving my sanity Buried it down in this hole in me (buried it down) I'm losing the battle I start to unravel Until there is nothing that's left in me Can't keep my head up I'm drowning underwater Life is getting harder Will I sink or swim?

You've been my high school, my college, my motherhood and my son is now 18. Pretty sure I'm always going to appreciate you 💚🖤 everything about this is wonderful, sound to video 😮😍 I always listen one time through before I ever look. I LOVE THIS.
In our wake is hands down one of my most favorite songs by these guys and definitely one of my tops songs in general makes me feel something very different and I’ve been with these guys for a long ass time and I’m 42
I already loved seeing Atreyu live because it was so awesome watching Brandon Salor play drums and sing like a total bad ass, but i always loved him most because he was such an incredible singer, so naturally he still shines as a frontman!!!
I remember 20 years ago the first time I listened to Atreyu I thought to myself: This band describes all the things I'm feeling, is awesome. Now, 20 years later, still hits that spot. Thank you for your art.
When I worked a job and a half and closed down the bars I would go for days without sleeping. “It’s like the days pass slower than the nights last” is a perfect description of insomnia. Rock on Atreyu!
Brandon has such a powerful and unique voice. On the earlier records he reminded me of Ozzy a little. But he has really come into his own. Pretty inspiring to see.
This is just brilliant, as someone who have insomnia i can but feel identified with the song and the video, it could not be the most popular song ever, but it truly got on me, again, just brilliant, thank you Atreyu for just an awesome piece of art, lets unravel and swim until we get our head up
This song speaks to me and I will not apologize for liking new atreyu. I saw them live first at the '05 warped tour in Atlanta and theyve changed a lot, but so have I. I like the new them, even if I miss parts of the old them.
been waiting for some stuff that actually means something other than propaganda or adverting some product. you guys have never come off as sellouts. Ithank you for keeping music "REAL"! Since 2002...I love you guys.
Absolutely love this band for life! ❤ my 10 year old and 13 year old want so badly to see you guys live, but not sure that I’ll get to make that happen. Maybe one day
I hope they open a small space of their heart for us in Mexico and can come to Guadalajara Jalisco, as well as Monterrey and Mexico City, other bands, like underoath, alesana, Memphis may Fire, slipknot who return on their anniversary again and have delighted us with their music, so we are looking forward to you coming
Love this song! Really speaks to me, I've been suffering with insomnia for about 6 months now I tried taking Trazadone for sleep and other medications nothing works. Insomnia is a real problem people suffer with it, laying in bed at night never falling asleep.
New fan, due to this song absolutely jumping out and smacking me accross the face in the first 30 seconds. thank you youtube algorithm. Now to go down a rabbit hole with them!
As someone’s been a long time fan but as a massive death grip from yesterday fan boy this song wouldn’t look out of place on that album it’s a really good song
One of the most favorite songs on this album🖤I was really waiting for the video for this song to be released. I would also like to see the video for the title song of this album!!

I really liked this! I know everyones complaining about them not being as heavy anymore but they made songs like this before.. the first song I heard from Atreyu back in the day was "Falling Down" and it's a lot like this in my opinion. They make good music regardless
Go see them live. Oh, wait. Shit, sorry. That would be more expensive than watching this shit for free on RUclips. You know that song? Still exists. This shit doesn't change that.
MAN how cool would it be if Atreyu recovered "When Two Are One" from their Lead Sails | Paper Anchor album!?! 🔥🔥 Just winged it again and put their own unique spin on it?? Yeah. They could totally pull it off. ❤️🔥
Brandons voice is definitely one of a kind.
Great voice, mid song.
Definitely 🔥👏
sounds like the lead singer of skillet.
skillet singer??? almost identical

Good lordt that chorus is chefs kiss the tone is just 🫠🫠
Auto tune turned up to 11.
@@Sailor1010 auto-tune creates a pitch-shifting robotic effect, this is NOT what's happening here.
@@metrotyler Not if you're good at using an Autotune plugin
@@jaybuck4951 Alright, so what do you think then, is the track auto-tuned?

Lyrics:
I wish I could fall asleep
Thoughts of peace are haunting me
Begging for a lucid dream
My mental state is crushing me
TV static, blinking eights
Eyes wide open, can't escape
I'm not breathing but it's all the same
Is living just a losing game?
Can't keep my head up
I'm drowning underwater
Life is getting harder
Will I sink or swim?
It's like the days past
Slower than the nights last
I just need a break, man
Will I sink or swim?
Insomnia
Insomnia
Will I sink or swim?
Insomnia
Insomnia

Insomnia
I wish my brain could simply change like the weather
But here I am, it's pouring rain without a fucking umbrella
Strangers are screaming but I'm here all alone
The walls come crashing down on me
As I
Echo my heart beat
Shatter my lungs
I can't escape my thoughts
So I'll just swallow my tongue
Spilling these words in blood onto a blank page
I swear, I didn't feel this way back when I was young
I swear, I didn't feel this way back when I was young
Can't keep my head up
I'm drowning underwater
Life is getting harder
Will I sink or swim?
It's like the days past
Slower than the nights last
I just need a break, man
Will I sink or swim?
I'm taking my chances
I'm leaving my sanity
Buried it down in this hole in me (buried it down)
I'm losing the battle
I start to unravel
Until there is nothing that's left in me
Can't keep my head up
I'm drowning underwater
Life is getting harder
Will I sink or swim?
It's like the days past
Slower than the nights last
I just need a break, man

You've been my high school, my college, my motherhood and my son is now 18. Pretty sure I'm always going to appreciate you 💚🖤 everything about this is wonderful, sound to video 😮😍 I always listen one time through before I ever look. I LOVE THIS.
That first wig on Brandon got me 💀. His hair used to look just like that way back when I first started listening to Atreyu 😂
Tell me he doesn't look like JonTron with that wig 😂
Btw those were the days. Falling down, becoming the bull, ex's and oh's ❤
right
@GarrettsGear I still listen to those weekly! Every album they've made is top tier imo 😂💕
Good song ,Love it! Long live atreyu..
Live, love , burn, die forever Atreyu 🙌
This song resonates with me so much. Brandon carried this song so well vocally. One of my favorite new songs by them
I love their music, and I love music like this, like I prevail, beartooth, memphis may fire, wage war, and point north. This rocks!!!!
In our wake is hands down one of my most favorite songs by these guys and definitely one of my tops songs in general makes me feel something very different and I’ve been with these guys for a long ass time and I’m 42
The notes hits a chord and makes my skin feel XxI7tehijb!!!^@$^
I love you Brandon Saller.
But I also miss Alex Varkatza
Brandon should take notes from All That Remains
@bobjenks8642 all that remains turned trash with overcome. Their latest single is the best thing they've done in a decade
My favorite track on the album!
Absolutely
Me too!
I already loved seeing Atreyu live because it was so awesome watching Brandon Salor play drums and sing like a total bad ass, but i always loved him most because he was such an incredible singer, so naturally he still shines as a frontman!!!
Brandon's voice is what made (and still makes) Atreyu great! Period!
Alex was the man.. The two combined made them great
Period
Long Live Atreyu! They still out here killin it
I remember 20 years ago the first time I listened to Atreyu I thought to myself: This band describes all the things I'm feeling, is awesome. Now, 20 years later, still hits that spot.
Thank you for your art.
I am new to Atreyu, love love his voice and vocals. Great band!
wow Atreyu made a video for my sleepless nights this song is fire
So did King Diamond. The song is called sleepless nights.
This song is so good I cant sleep.
The opening sounds like a song that belongs on the movie A Nightmare Before Christmas. Love this song
what a banger man!! crazy beautifuly catchy song
When I worked a job and a half and closed down the bars I would go for days without sleeping. “It’s like the days pass slower than the nights last” is a perfect description of insomnia. Rock on Atreyu!
Brandon has such a powerful and unique voice. On the earlier records he reminded me of Ozzy a little. But he has really come into his own. Pretty inspiring to see.
I really love the pounding drum on this in particular. So good.

Unmatched vocals. Amazing band even with changes. Nobody likes change but I quite like this and the albums amazing too
Love this!!! Great song, guys!!!
This song speaks to me and I will not apologize for liking new atreyu. I saw them live first at the '05 warped tour in Atlanta and theyve changed a lot, but so have I. I like the new them, even if I miss parts of the old them.
I N S O M N I A A A A A A H !
That's what friends are for!
I've had insomnia the past year. I haven't heard Atreyu since high school. This is an unexpected and eerie coincidence, however, amazing song.
Now that's what I call Let's stay awake and make music.
And the video was amazing.
been waiting for some stuff that actually means something other than propaganda or adverting some product. you guys have never come off as sellouts. Ithank you for keeping music "REAL"! Since 2002...I love you guys.
Incredible vocals ❤
I got "live, love, burn, die" tatooed on my arms. Thats how much I love Atreyu... regardless of whos in the band. It's a culture, and I'm here for it.
Forever a Atreyu fan ❤🤘🏽
Best atreyu song i’ve heard since high school (12yrs ago). Absolutely love it
this song gives me chills everytime I hear it, it's goddamn amazing 😍
Absolutely love this band for life! ❤ my 10 year old and 13 year old want so badly to see you guys live, but not sure that I’ll get to make that happen. Maybe one day

The band that got me into heavier music back in 2011-2012 GG guys stoke to see content still \m/
Love this song!
Really speaks to me, I've been suffering with insomnia for about 6 months now I tried taking Trazadone for sleep and other medications nothing works.
Insomnia is a real problem people suffer with it, laying in bed at night never falling asleep.
freaking love you guys so much
this is awesome...
I’m new to the band and absolutely in love. You guys are great. Keep up the good work. ❤️
You have no idea how many times I've played this song since the album came out!!!!!!
Killer tune❤
Whoever read this comment. I wish you all the best, may the light be with you
Bro wtf did I stumble upon
I love it
One of the most underrated bands of all time is what
Their old albums are way better
@@gtamike_TSGK Both their old and new albums are good but okay
Found this band in 2001. The Curse was their cleanest album to listen to from beginning to end. They're missing the key component which was Alex
Wow this is insanely good. Great voice!
Finally 🔥 this song
YES 🙌🏼🙌🏼 love you guys and this freaking song is absolutely relatable!!!!🔥
thank you for sharing i really like this song
The drummer is so good he took over
I've been a huge fan of Atreyu since I first heard the song Bleeding Mascara, This album shines as the top album for me. it's perfect.
New fan, due to this song absolutely jumping out and smacking me accross the face in the first 30 seconds. thank you youtube algorithm. Now to go down a rabbit hole with them!
Wait till you see them live 😁
They used to be heavier 😢
Well, my life now has a theme song. Thanks!
Mein momentan absolutes Lieblingslied. Ich feier euch, macht weiter so! Hab euch letztens in Bremen live gesehen. Der absolute Wahnsinn 🔥
this needs more views. Y'all still going strong
Banger
Havent listened to Atreyu in years, this is a banger tho, gonna started listening to some more
This man said "life is getting Hard R"
Glad I'm not the only one,I was 😂😂🤣🤣
F n love it😊
All my favorite song from atreyu are when this man is singing
Really good song and the lead singers voice going up octaves nice! Have had this song on my spotify for a while! This Video.. lol
Atreyu dropp a new song? Hot damn time to dig out the ol skinny jeans.
The Idea to this Video remember me on U2 "Numb" ❤
Great song
song of the year
hi from Venezuela, is a great song
Hell yeah
❤ Absolutely love this song 😊
HERE SINCE 2004 RESPECT ATREYU!!!!!!!
As someone’s been a long time fan but as a massive death grip from yesterday fan boy this song wouldn’t look out of place on that album it’s a really good song
New sound , im here for it 👏
This band feels like the old man from The Theft before he finds the toy plane. Apparently it was the plane I liked best. Glad he's still flying. ✈
One of the most favorite songs on this album🖤I was really waiting for the video for this song to be released. I would also like to see the video for the title song of this album!!
Dude the chorus what a surprise
Banger. I made it here after riding the nostalgia trip

I just seen them and they don't sound the same without Alex..😭 come check out videos
About MF time! missed you guys bad!
On repeat!!! 🥴
The best song
I still absolutely adore how all of these new videos are just weird as hell
Me gustais mucho chicos, muuucho 🤘🖤
Saw atreyu open for Ink on the Trinity of terror tour kick ass opening act
bring back Her Portrait in Black
Go see them live.
Oh, wait.
Shit, sorry.
That would be more expensive than watching this shit for free on RUclips.
You know that song? Still exists. This shit doesn't change that.
First order from listener 🤘🏻
I still cant believe yall only have 200k subs, crazy!
Atreyu still got it 🤌
Cool tune
⚓️ video would be huge. One of the best songs in the history of songs. No video. Do it.
MAN how cool would it be if Atreyu recovered "When Two Are One" from their Lead Sails | Paper Anchor album!?! 🔥🔥 Just winged it again and put their own unique spin on it?? Yeah. They could totally pull it off. ❤️🔥
