LYRICS: I'm fighting from the fire again. The whole time I was spread beneath the ashes. I'd rather leave but if we had to go back I'd take only you. Maybe my foundation was poured to be cracked open. I watched the light find it's way in. Maybe my life was meant to be tested. How else will you learn from me failing. I wanna step out of your shadow, But when I do there's no sunlight at all. Pressed against the wall we can't stop breaking. These nights, they never fail to show us Who we are. I can't wait to be born again. I belong here, I was meant to be condemned for your fears. Sometimes you need to look down to find faith again. I'd rather see you die than watch you choke. I'd rather see you die than watch you hurt. I wanna step out of your shadow, But when I do there's no sunlight at all. Pressed against the wall we can't stop breaking. These nights, they never fail to show us Who we are. I wanna step out of your shadow, But when I do there's no sunlight at all. Pressed against the wall we can't stop breaking. These nights, they never fail to show us Who we are.
This album is without a doubt Jonnys best work besides DBM. Light years ahead of slaves first album. I don’t understand how anybody can listen to this and not see that. Amazing and passionate vocals, lyrics, and songwriting. This album is so underrated.
Why is it, that when I read the lyrics online, it says, "I'd rather see you die, than watch you grow". Yet if you listen to the vocals of JC, the verse sounds like, "I'd rather see you die, than watch you hurt"? Really confusing me with that one, but all in all, possibly my favorite song on the album at the moment.
+Brandon Setsodi its actually 2 lines First line: I'd rather see you die, than watch you choke Second line: I'd rather see you die, than watch you hurt Then chorus Hope it helps!
I can somewhat see it, but don’t completely agree. Lyrically and vocally it may resemble older emarosa. Musically it’s not even close. As much as I love slaves and the new lineup, this has a totally different sound musically. Old emarosa was heavy, fast and hard with clean and unclean vocals. Great time for the scene in my opinion. Then again, I’m old as fuck now and am trying like hell to hang on to the good old sound.
+Lyndsey Broyles during the dgd ten year anniversary I got to see him and we had a fee drinks it was literally the best experience for me, if you see him live he usually hangs around the merch tables
When he comes to Fresno, he has a drink at Strummer's after he performs. All the fans drink with him and have a great time. Pretty cool, even DGD goes after they play at that venue
+King Zagan sad u don't enjoy it mate. I liked the 1st album but this is the best cleancore album I've heard since the 1st hands like houses album, just perfect, imo ofc
+GusMOfficialChannel Cleancore! Never heard that. I like it. Good way to describe bands like Slaves, Hands Like Houses, Miss Fortune and Too Close to Touch. Thanks
Adam Artz dude wtf are u talking about? no one said they were metalcore, cleancore is meant to designate core bands with full clean vocals, just like the ones we've mentioned, and it's not even a genre

I'll listen to anything with jonny, for the rest of my life. this shit is too good. just makes me feel better. takes away my anxiety. feels like home!
+kendra neely same here man

This is one of the greatest albums of all time. I listen to it almost daily since the release
That run Jonny does at 1:02 is so insane! I still get chills!

LYRICS:
I'm fighting from the fire again.
The whole time I was spread beneath the ashes.
I'd rather leave but if we had to go back
I'd take only you.
Maybe my foundation was poured to be cracked open.
I watched the light find it's way in.
Maybe my life was meant to be tested.
How else will you learn from me failing.
I wanna step out of your shadow,
But when I do there's no sunlight at all.
Pressed against the wall we can't stop breaking.
These nights, they never fail to show us
Who we are.
I can't wait to be born again.
I belong here, I was meant to be condemned for your fears.
Sometimes you need to look down to find faith again.
I'd rather see you die than watch you choke.
I'd rather see you die than watch you hurt.
I wanna step out of your shadow,
But when I do there's no sunlight at all.
Pressed against the wall we can't stop breaking.
These nights, they never fail to show us
Who we are.
I wanna step out of your shadow,
But when I do there's no sunlight at all.
Pressed against the wall we can't stop breaking.
These nights, they never fail to show us
Who we are.
thought it was "Pressed against the wall we can't stop reaching". i could be wrong
love love love
What does he say in the outro? I hear:
"(?)
These walls cracked down underneath your fire
(?)
These walls cracked down underneath my fire"
I love the very beginning lyrics and how he sings "id rather leave" haha so good. Oh to have them vocals lol
This album is without a doubt Jonnys best work besides DBM. Light years ahead of slaves first album. I don’t understand how anybody can listen to this and not see that. Amazing and passionate vocals, lyrics, and songwriting. This album is so underrated.
I love it!
omgosh what an amazing voice
JWATization That's Jonny Craig for ya!😀 Much love for him!

I always thought it was I'd rather see you die than watch you cry :/
Damn I miss jonny being on slaves....
Nice to know they're still on good terms though
Just realized this was Jonny I'm lovin this 😂❤
How do you just realize lol You should be able to tell immediately! He has a unique voice and sound!
This one reminds me of old emarosa
How? Old Emarosa was hard and loud.
I understand what he means. There is a certain intensity about it that johnny usually uses when the instruments are harder.

I'm fighting from the fire again
Reminds me of Kuroi Ledges opening lyrics: The cool air takes me back
DgD vocalists ftw!
great track
This song is fucking incredible . Omg
oh, this is a good song. I think I judged this album too quickly.
😍😍😍
LYRICS?
i just want to drink a beer with you jonny.. ive been trying for years now.. or even just a high five
+Lyndsey Broyles You'd get better results if you brought heroin with you. jk sorry jonny
i thought it was crack. im down for whatever i just want to hump his voice box
+Lyndsey Broyles during the dgd ten year anniversary I got to see him and we had a fee drinks it was literally the best experience for me, if you see him live he usually hangs around the merch tables

Lyndsey Broyles My top 10 goodlooking band frontman list
Watch and enjy

Yo canto mejor !!! lml jaj
When is he gonna learn a new melody? All his songs sound the same.
Who cares
GoshDarnBarnOwls bro his lyrics are priceless there so meaningful and heartfelt
The breakdown and the intro was the only good part the rest of the time the beat made no sense or the effects made his singing not understandable.
+King Zagan sad u don't enjoy it mate. I liked the 1st album but this is the best cleancore album I've heard since the 1st hands like houses album, just perfect, imo ofc

Zachary Stewart yw mate ^^ its my fav genre, had to name it
I don't think Slaves are metalcore lol not even close they're more post-hardcore rather than cleancore/metalcore
Adam Artz dude wtf are u talking about? no one said they were metalcore, cleancore is meant to designate core bands with full clean vocals, just like the ones we've mentioned, and it's not even a genre
