LYRICS
Everything is just so loud
Lost in the noise and I can’t turn it off
The chaos spreads and it’s getting louder
I run to escape but it’s never enough
It keeps chasing me and it’s erasing me again
In my head but I don’t know
Light it up and watch it go
I shut it out but it all comes back again
Everyday it takes control
Even worse when I’m alone
Can’t turn it off cause it just gets louder
So turn it off
Cause I’m losing my mind
Are the voices and these noises
All I can find
Is it real
Can I keep up the fight
When the static pushes back
And there’s nowhere to hide
(Now I’m) screaming over and over again
I just can’t stop the overstimulation
Time runs out before it ever begins
And the peace becomes a prison in the end
In my head but I don’t know
Light it up and watch it go
I shut it out but it all comes back again
Everyday it takes control
Even worse when I’m alone
Can’t turn it off cause it just gets louder
So turn it off
Cause I’m losing my mind
Are the voices and these noises
All I can find
Is it real
Can I keep up the fight
When the static pushes back
And there’s nowhere to hide
Giving up, giving in
There’s nowhere to go
Nothing helps, nothing else
Just leave me alone
So turn it off
Cause I’m losing my mind
When the static pushes back
And there’s nowhere to hide
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
It pulls me apart
And I can’t shut it out
The silence turns to violence in the middle of nowhere
Fading to black
Is it all over now?
Why is everything so loud?
So turn it off
Cause I’m losing my mind
Are the voices and these noises
All I can find
Is it real
Can I keep up the fight
When the static pushes back
And there’s nowhere to hide
Giving up, giving in
There’s nowhere to go
Nothing helps, nothing else
Just leave me alone
So turn it off
Cause I’m losing my mind
When the static pushes back
And there’s nowhere to hide

Thank you for instagram shorts with the 2 guys dancing
those guys were kiiling it with those dance moves
For me is that little girl with glasses dancing most of the time 😂
exactly! need to learn the dance now
I’m glad I’m not the only here because of that 😂
Dude that's how I found this!! 😂😂
I’m turning 30 and I feel like a kid again discovering this band. First rock band in a while to give me that feeling only a new band with a hit song can give you. Truly an awesome feeling.
I Feel You Bro ❤
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I'm turning 39 and I feel like a kid again discovering this band. First rock band in a while to give me that feeling only a new band with a hit song can give you. Truly an awesome feeling.
Yep
+1
I graduated in '99 and this reminds me of the good music from the late 90's and early 2000's. really enjoying it. great stuff
Hoobastank style vibes for me.
Lol sane here
what the FUCK were you listening to?
Could have heard this in an old Need for Speed under ground game.
I completely agree! Class of ‘99 also and this is good nostalgic music!
Bro i have adhd and autism i already found it hard not to listen to the same song 652 times this song is absolutely perfect
This song has a vibe that hits just right
I've probably listened to this everyday for the past month, it's perfection!!!
I love how Sleep Theory just has fun when they make music videos. It reminds me of 2000's rock where songs went hard, but the bands where enjoying themselves as they made music videos.
They definitely don't have as much fun as bands like Electric Callboy, but I fully agree with you.
@snakeeyes9246 lol those guy's are crazy, in a good way tho 😅
You’re so right !
Exactly. Like when I first discovered seether while on my way to high school on a Monday morning when my dad was driving me.
Yessssss 😈
34 years old and this brings me back to my favorite band Linkin park.
I'm 46 and been rocking out to this!
I hear the "linkin park" vibe you're talking about
Keep it quiet bro, im the same age and im still getting girls in their early 20's 😂
They're one of the few artists I don't have to worry about not liking a new song since they don't disappoint.
True.
Sleep token is great
I just collect songs...I don't need to belong to one genre or feel the need to like all songs from one band.
@kingtwinkie3035 LOL wrong band, but still my favorite. Im here for both!
FR. Almost feel as if they are perfectionists when it comes to music, and im here for it
How am I just learning about this song. Amazing vocals
1:34 "just gets louder" arghh! 🌋
Bro they do not miss
It’s radio core, it’s engineered, literally, for you to think that lol.
@TheeFinalBossstop tier hater
Fr bro
True!!
Came to comment the same
I need this song in a Static Shock movie during a training montage where he’s learning to control his powers.
Dude I was literally thinking that 😂
Sounds like something that belongs in solo leveling
Bro is not even a chef and is cooking so well
@SuperCezo💯🔥
BROOOO ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Another Sleep Theory banger? I'll be back after the video
Edit: it's another Sleep Theory banger!
This is their best song...those vocals...that heavy metal breakdown
This song is my current adhd-obsession song. Repeats 24/7 since yesterday. Thank you!
By God I did not know music was allowed to be good again in 2026
Their official music videos have ultrawide support (Very few have that or only a single video). Their drummer and guitarist switch roles in the music video. All 3 of them sing. What a talented group they are.
They’re brothers so they look a lot alike but I don’t think Ben and Dan switch roles? But Sleep Theory is a super talented band indeed!
@erikataclysm at a glance they do. You must be right, after another look it is a different person
They all 4 sing! They're pretty awesome, man! They all have wonderful voices. But yes Ben and Daniel are brothers. They're all so talented. Told them they'd blow up quickly! So proud of em.
This song should be in a static shock live-action movie. 🤘😁🤘
YES!
This song would be in the ending credits.
This song should be in the fight scene in the movie.
Static shock going emo.
Atb 'lost in the static' fits even better. But this is a close second.
日本からです
オススメに出てきてハマりました！
かっこいー!!
Definitivamente es muy bueno, saludos de Perú 🇵🇪
私もハマりました！
If only we had more concerts like this in okinawa
This just screams mid 2000s punk rock 🤟🏻
Bringing me back to my high school early 2000s warped tour days
Have seen them 3 times in concert. They are getting better and better. This last show at the Epic event center I told my brother in law this is the last time we are seeing them as an opening band.
They were sick at Epic! Wage war as well.
True dat.
Saw them with Daughtry. They were banging it on every song. The “best” part was the humility they showed in packing their own equipment after. What a great beginning for them.
@bobbo0616 yeah they are awesome dudes. I drove for them on the Daughtry tour and will be driving for them again on their headlining tour. See yall there!!
Seen them with Shinedown a couple years ago. Literally no one really knew them back then… especially when they were at the merch and look at them now
Wake up, Sleep Theory just dropped a new banger
Fine… I just have to repeat another sleep theory song on repeat max volume in my truck again…
I just found this song it slaps 🔥🔥🔥
This perfectly encapsulates how I feel having anxiety and ADHD. Especially in current times.
I’m so grateful I got to be part of this! This was such a blast to film! And I love the song
U are beautiful
You did a fantastic job with the video! Appreciate you
Shhg😊😊😊
The song is such a mood!!! Hope you had a great time!! 🤘🤘😆
Where are you in the video?
This pre-chorus is stuck in my head lol 0:37
Omg dude I know..that part has been stuck in my head for a couple weeks now its so damn catchy
Same lol
Same! You'll probably like "Back in the Bizz" by Electric Callboy too!
@lottowolfak9633 bro any song by electric callboy is catchy lol love that band
stuck in my head heh sleep theory reference
CERTIFIED BANGER!!
Remind me that teenage heroes static
Straight-up the best band nobody knows about it.
yet...
i love how Cullen said at the live show i went to how they only use non-explicit lyrics and the music is for everyone. Such a breath of fresh air from everything that has gotten so profane. Its nice to know my kids can even listen to this and enjoy clean rock (r&b, metal? lol) music. Love this band so much!
profanity has its place. I needed it in my music as an abused, pissed off young adult. but circling 50 I do appreciate cleaner lyrics
non explicit can lyrics can be good if not better if it is written well. This applies to lyrics in general. Know when to use profanity in your lyrics.
@fadhx08 It's all dependent on the artist. Some of them need profanity, like Slipknot. Most don't
@Sammarillion while Slipknot made a point of using zero swears on their third album
“Wah bad words” your kids and “Christian” grandma is hearing worse than the F word on the daily
Just found this song today! Wow!!! I love it!!! 👏👏👏
Плюсую👍🔥
I'm already hooked already
Already x2. Insane
Already
Already?
@SportsRadio yep
I am too, as well!
My face went from 😊 🎶 to 😈 🤘
Real
Paralyzed is a good one to btw
For real 🤘🖤🤙
I cannot stress enough much I feel this song... I feel so overwhelmed and this describes it perfectly.. this will be on repeat
Sleep Theory in the house baby! I love you guys.
this is gonna be Sleep Theory's year! MARK MY WORDS!!!
This band is so underrated they literally are amazing but they only have 66k likes which is crazy they easily should have 1.2mil
My 3-year old asks for this by saying "I want the song." 🥰
Every second of this song gives me goosebumps
I have found my people. Feels so good to be alive! 🤟🏾🤟🏾
I totally resonate with this as a fellow rocker! 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Oh yeah....we hitting new PRs in the gym with this
T-pain of Metal
Why do I instantly think about the tinnitus in my ears I got from the military
This sounds is awesome and fresh but yet familiar and nostalgic I am a fan of them now
The postpartum depression song. Describes the feeling perfectly
If you guys have a chance - go see these dudes live. They opened for The Used and Papa Roach and the energy they started the show with was ridiculous. They sound incredible live
This is like the new age sevendust. You all NAIL the perfect sound.
This has been my ADHD brains background sound for at least two months.
Can't stop listening to this song, please help me. All I hear now is Static
So upbeat you can't notice its about intrusive thoughts and depression🤘
Can't wait for the album!
These guys amazing. Feel like it's the early 2000s again
I heard this in Instagram and it was a very pleasant surprise to find a black singer 😂
Perfect for working out!
1000% a pump up lift song
I’ll be testing this here soon 🤙🏻
His vocals are off the charts
Wtf?! As a 37 year old who grew up with numetal and screamo, this shit couldn't have hit me right when I needed it anymore directly. Hell fucking yes.
I felt that breakdown deep in my bones 😫 🔥🤘
Yo summer jam with MTV present Sleep Theory🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽lol
This would have been great back in the day, yet here I am and here they are 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
What a beautiful voice. This song is fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
2:10 Great breakdown🤘🏼
He went super sayian
Twas a great transition but not a breakdown. A breakdown is when the tempo and energy lowers for a section of the track…. But I agree with you
igual ao da Faint do Linkin Park kkkkkkkkk
This band is gonna be so big
T-pain got into metal core and I'm living for it 😂✨ fr loving this band
Damn. I love my algorithm for recommending this.
Amazing metal music
This is a straight up banger!🔥🔥🤘🏼 Thank you for this song. It will be playing on repeat for a long time!😌🔥
I'm Thai, my Filipino friend suggested this band to me a just few days ago. I don't understand what they are singing about but I REALLY love their sound and by that, I still feel what they are portraying. Music is a universal language everyone understands. All the love to this band from Thai!

TagayThai
Sawadee kaa
Hayup, hahaha!!!!
🇹🇭
🇵🇭
From America here and I agree! Music is universal and can cross language barriers even if you don't understand the words!
Does it matter what race you are were all people all lives matter yk
You guys are amazing can't wait to see you again when you come back around to Toronto Ontario
❤ the lyrics hit! The struggle with the noise in my head lately is very overwhelming. Thank you guys for spreading the word of continuing the fight! I’ve been playing this album on repeat lately!
These guys are gonna be huge soon they are way underrated...I saw them live at sonic temple and they are jam up live. Awesome band
One million, we did it ! 🤘
Deserves much more views
It’s time to bring this time period back right NOW!!!!
If you ever want to know what real ADHD feels like... its this.
I'm autistic, and because of it, my hearing is so unbearably sensitive that I can't even leave the house safely without earplugs in. I don't know if this is the intended meaning, but I'm so glad there's a song that speaks to this experience.
Im autistic too. It hits me deep
Same here
This hits me too and I’m also autistic
Yes, I quite agree to your statement. Also the meaning of music can be whatever it means to you.
This is totally about the Tism.
NEW MUSIC DROP!
This sounds like a song from my late teens but focus’s on how I feel now as 38 years old! Love it!
This song is SICK!! ❤
Love this song...just found it and it has so close to home
Sleep token, Sleep Theory, Silent Theory. All great bands 😂
got my boyfriend hooked to this song AND to sleep theory. he ranked this one s-tier! keep it up my boys and can’t wait to see you all for a THIRD TIME in concert someday soon! :D
Just discovered and love it!
Welcome to my workout playlist
Came from a random Instagram post, SO GLAD I DISCOVERED THIS BAND
Thank you for making me realize i am still in love with this genre. Your music is top tier
These guys have quickly become my new favorite band! Y’all are killing it!
All I can say is let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!
This needs to be Static Shock theme song. This embody his struggle with his ability perfectly. WB needs to make this his song
If the show returns, absolutely
46 yr old metalhead here still discovering some good metal stuff. Metal is in good hands for the new generations... including these guys.
I gotta thank IG reels for showing me this song. I'm 33, and it warms my heart to hear music like this still being made these days. This is exactly the kind of music I'd listen to when I was 15.
This song is God damn amazing ❤️
My ears thank you
Sleep theory can make any genre of music sound good
omg love this band
I Love this amazing Song ❤❤❤
Im screaming
How am i just finding yall
That's what I'm saying
Love this 🎉🐐
OMG!!!! New Sleep Theory!! I’ve seen them twice and they kill it live!! 🖤🤘🏼🖤
This song gave me chills. Bravo!
RUclips short sent me here, glad it did I am loving this sound.
