It’s a crime that this band still doesn’t receive the amount of massive recognition they deserve. Been listening since their initial EP in middle school and I’m 30 now.
That bridge when the drums come in at 2:40 is just awesome! Sounds very Karnivool-ish...and I mean that in a GOOD way. I've been looking for more bands that have a similar vibe to Karnivool.
Do you feel warm within your cage Friend you are bigger than this I know you see between these lines Want for the world in your hands You are smarter than these chains And have you figured out yet It always figures out best, life goes by I feel something's not right We're living in circles With no break in sight yet Why can I not live this life the way I feel I choose, know that is right I wanna push this wall till it breaks It comes and it goes, it comes and it goes and it's never the same One day at a time and I can't explain why I keep holding on when I know this is all a game I choose to play but why? There's no turning back This prison is perfect and moving too fast Tell me why should I exist in life this way I wanna choose, know this is right I wanna push this wall till it breaks It comes and it goes, it comes and it goes and it's never the same One day at a time and I can't explain why I keep holding on when I know this is all a game I choose to play but why? Do you feel warm within your cage And have you figured out yet, life goes by Is that you standing head down in the line Is that you with your hands held in the sign The real you in this moment now Hoping to identify and to re-define And now you, claim you broke free to decide Lonely you, built the walls to your design Is that you wishing, you could have learned how to just simplify and not analyse Do you feel warm within your cage Or does it burn almost everyday There is still time left So make your decision.
great band,singer sings the truth,music is done very well too!love em!I saw them @ Candys Apartment in sydney and they were brilliant,i chatted with them after the show,Kym(singer)was a lovely humble fellow, a breath of fresh air in a world so cold.big love to the whole band,really rockin,every release is great.
In Chicago, generally, we love our Rock Bands (Chevelle, Disturbed, Cold, Tool, Perfect Circle, Breaking Benjamin, Trust Company, etc) BUT I have NEVER been so more In love with these Australian Rock Bands.. They just bring a new ORIGINAL Flava to Rock such as these guys here and Karnivool, birds of tokyo, the Butterfly Effect and the Mayan Factor.. I not only tip my hat to Australia but I bow to such art work! Thank you
Really Cool song, very creative and definitely not boring. Interesting lyrics too, I like how he is singing about your life being like a cage, but he describes it as a perfect cage, not an ordinary cage. A perfect cage can be worse because it's more difficult to escape, it traps you. Simultaneously it sounds like he is saying that the real you is also outside of that cage, a huge part of being free is being yourself, which is the real you. So basically being inside the cage is totally pointless, also because if you're not yourself what's the point in living. That's why escaping the cage is the only thing that matters, everything else is vain.
I met Luke, the drummer, at a Shpongle show tonight. He was standing by himself because the rest of the band didn't want to come, me and my friends came talked to him and I'm glad we did, he's a very interesting guy. Loving the sound too, love to all
Finally get to see this video...i was at the location when they were shooting this video and watched a few takes...i liked the song so much i went out and bought the album.
i searched for some degradead and then tadaa i discovered dead letter circus . these guys are knwoing what it means to make good music , very good song ! we need more of that stuff ...
I was fortunately introduced to these guys when I saw them live with Fair to Midland on December 4th. Not only does the lead singer look like a combination of Robert Knepper, Jim Carey, and Abraham Lincoln, but both bands where outstanding.
Guys, one thing that really is a let down is when you try and compare bands, saying "this band sounds like this more popular one" it really does not matter. They sound like dead letter circus to me, and that is perfect.
Couldn't agree more. I also love Birds of Tokyo and a Finnish band by the name of Poets of the Fall. If you love DLC, i guarantee you'll like these two as well.
Heard this band prob. In 5th grade ....didn't know the name just heard an awesome song shuck in my head for weeks and now again in high school it comes in a dream!!!!!!woah :O ...with lyrics and everything , had to search for hours finally found it and it was totally worth it !!! My life is now complete , I can die happy :D
Freaking incredibly awesome videos (this, Big and One Step), incredible band, f**king brilliant album - one of the best Australian albums released for a LONG time. The guys know what Aussie rock is all about. Amazing!!!
....just listened to this song for the first time. ive payed music for 25 years and this song gave me goosebumps. You have to listen to it all the way to the end. THESE GUYS ARE COOL. if YOU like bands like A Perfect Circle and Karnivool you should listen these guys a little....
Wow I'm not normally the type to stumble upon bands that I can't help but keep listening too... Considering I'm so heavily into electronic genres such as dubstep and trap. But I've listened to this song so many times now. Something magical about these lyrics. Vocals are so catchy can't help but to sing with it! (: great track!
Ryan Sadauskis Holy fuck, how do you consider me that dense???? LOL? Read my words carefully. I am stating I listen to a lot of electronic genres not that this track is electronic at all (obviously!)... Hence why I am surprised I enjoy it so much. See? :P
+SamWagner704 A thousand times yes to TFN! I discovered them when they toured with 10 Years, and now I can't get enough of these bad ass Australian bands.
If you ask me, Dead Letter Circus is the best Metal band in the world. Simply because they have a Metal-like sound and, unlike the genre, they don't scream into the microphone, they actually sing! xD
As someone who really doesn't like 99.999% of electronic music, I'm not sure I really get the hate on this song for having some drum/key sounds programmed in the background. They didn't do that because they can't play instruments, they did it for that specific sound to add to the palette of this song. You know DLC are quality musicians so trust that if they're gonna use digital sounds they'll use them tastefully! This shit ain't skrillex (thank the lord)
@LoganTotallyz I talked to them after the show in Minneapolis saying they need to come to the US more often than every 3 years. Kim and their road manager said they will "most likely be back in March". This was in early December so hopefully it holds true. Then we did a shot of tequila. I was very happy.
@minglis88 Fair call =] In my opinion though, linkin park isn't overrated; they've proven that the effort in the studio and hardwork they put into their music creates a unique sound that stretches across a couple of genres :)
ok.... so i just listened to a few more of their songs and I still think they are great.... I just love the vocals!!!! Im a big A Perfec Circle fan, Karnivool is great, Chevelle. I would say DEAD LETTER CIRCUS kicks it! lemme listen sumore n i'll be bak
I've seen something like this before, I was at a bush doof in a state forest near the blue mountains, there's was psy-trance being played on some generator run tables and at like 5 in the morning a fog picked up, mixing with the smoke of the camp fires and it looked so much like this
@benoleno96 HOLY SHIT!!! You're right! I switched to 480p as I usually do if it is an option and the quality was totally worse. Switch backed to 360p and it was totally better lol. Good shit for catching that first.
this video was based apon one of kim's (lead singer) dreams, the lazers and lights are meant to resemble a ufo or something along those lines, they made it in the middle of the bush somewhere and some person seen all the lights and fog and called the cops because they thought there was an illegal rave goin on, haha dead letter are brilliant in every way
If you like this, listen to Karnivool - 'New Day' 'Goliath' 'Mauseum' 'All I Know'. Seriously cool band repping Perth. Aussie music does fucking rule, I swear to god that every second band around here are just straight out sick.
@armanth13 I totally agree with u bro, their music is unlike anything i've ever heard. And they have a slightly different type of feel and sound between songs, its like they're changing styles between songs, but at the same time delivering a killer song, with meaningful lyrics. They truly r my favorite band.
It’s a crime that this band still doesn’t receive the amount of massive recognition they deserve. Been listening since their initial EP in middle school and I’m 30 now.
I'm the same but I was in year 7 now I'm 26
This was the song that sold me. Been a fan ever since, 57 yrs old here
Can't believe this came out 11 years ago. I found this album when I was a sophomore in highschool. I'm almost 27 now. It's still good af
Yeah I'm 25 now so I mustve been a freshman
Same here, I discover this band by a Australian youtuber at the time I was playing Wow, I'm almost 30 now...
Dead Letter Circus is my favorite band of all time, they are so good!
They’re amazing ❤
I still love this song so much!!! Live almost 9 years ago at Tattersalls in Penrith was just as awesome!
A definite standout by Dead Letter Circus.
That bridge when the drums come in at 2:40 is just awesome! Sounds very Karnivool-ish...and I mean that in a GOOD way. I've been looking for more bands that have a similar vibe to Karnivool.
ooo and Butterfly Effect
13dirty666 You have good taste in music sir :-)
13dirty666 love Butterfly. Rishloo is another one that is in the same vein, but unique
Good comments. I've followed TBE. Cog Karnivool since the early days. Check out Tesserect and Skyharbor amazing - Daniel Tompkins vocals
yeah that part reminds me Karnivool songs, very good band for sure!
Know that is right
I wanna push this wall
Till it breaks
It comes and it goes, it comes
And it goes and it's never the same
❤️❤️❤️
Do you feel warm within your cage
Friend you are bigger than this
I know you see between these lines
Want for the world in your hands
You are smarter than these chains
And have you figured out yet
It always figures out best, life goes by
I feel something's not right
We're living in circles
With no break in sight yet
Why can I not live this life
the way I feel I choose, know that is right
I wanna push this wall till it breaks
It comes and it goes, it comes and it goes and it's never the same
One day at a time and I can't explain why
I keep holding on when I know this is all a game
I choose to play but why?
There's no turning back
This prison is perfect and moving too fast
Tell me why should I exist in life this way
I wanna choose, know this is right
I wanna push this wall till it breaks
It comes and it goes, it comes and it goes and it's never the same
One day at a time and I can't explain why
I keep holding on when I know this is all a game
I choose to play but why?
Do you feel warm within your cage
And have you figured out yet, life goes by
Is that you standing head down in the line
Is that you with your hands held in the sign
The real you in this moment now
Hoping to identify and to re-define
And now you, claim you broke free to decide
Lonely you, built the walls to your design
Is that you wishing, you could have learned
how to just simplify and not analyse
Do you feel warm within your cage
Or does it burn almost everyday
There is still time left
So make your decision.
Late comer to DLC but have quickly become totally addicted to every single song. Pure passion in every lyric, every note is absolute brilliance.
hits harder than ever - this song is a beast. song has such meaning...
great band,singer sings the truth,music is done very well too!love em!I saw them @ Candys Apartment in sydney and they were brilliant,i chatted with them after the show,Kym(singer)was a lovely humble fellow, a breath of fresh air in a world so cold.big love to the whole band,really rockin,every release is great.
i dont care for cog or Karnivool.... but Dead letter Circus are a great band still loving them after 2 yrs.
This song got me through an extremely abusive relationship many years ago. I love you always DLC
good to know you're fine now 'n
out of it
@Tony Amen to that my brother.

Dead Letter Circus and Karnivool are my two favorite bands. I think I need to move to Australia.
I met Luke, the drummer, at a Shpongle show tonight. He was standing by himself because the rest of the band didn't want to come, me and my friends came talked to him and I'm glad we did, he's a very interesting guy. Loving the sound too, love to all
Man this album is such an absolute all time classic, always come back to it
Finally get to see this video...i was at the location when they were shooting this video and watched a few takes...i liked the song so much i went out and bought the album.
i searched for some degradead and then tadaa i discovered dead letter circus . these guys are knwoing what it means to make good music , very good song !
we need more of that stuff ...
Saw them in South Africa last year. One of the best live shows of 2013 for me. great muicians' band
Where are you guys? Hungry for more music
Love this video through and through. I love the mood, the colours, the styling. The song is killer. Well done DLC, you rule!
I was fortunately introduced to these guys when I saw them live with Fair to Midland on December 4th. Not only does the lead singer look like a combination of Robert Knepper, Jim Carey, and Abraham Lincoln, but both bands where outstanding.
love this band! going to see em in Chicago this Thursday!
Guys, one thing that really is a let down is when you try and compare bands, saying "this band sounds like this more popular one" it really does not matter. They sound like dead letter circus to me, and that is perfect.
Saw them play this song live a couple nights ago, was freaking awesome! Ended up buying their CD that night
This song is absolutely outstanding, can't wait to see them live - whenever that may be.
Absolutely an epic album guys!! 🤘🏽
Couldn't agree more. I also love Birds of Tokyo and a Finnish band by the name of Poets of the Fall. If you love DLC, i guarantee you'll like these two as well.
the first video i have ever come across where 360p is better quality than 480p.... thumbs up so people can see :P
This is the best song I've heard in a long while.
13 years... 13 YEARS
man this band and song is awesome too late to the party but still feels fresh and new
Saw and meet you guys at the white rabbit and you guys killed it. Instant fan when I heard those vocals.
His voice pulls me in every time!
you guys are the most unique bands out there, i have heard no other group that sound even i bit like your music.
keep it up fellas.
Love From Argentina, City of Buenos Aires! :) DLC It's the best band, i listen all day and i don't get tired of them.
Heard this band prob. In 5th grade ....didn't know the name just heard an awesome song shuck in my head for weeks and now again in high school it comes in a dream!!!!!!woah :O ...with lyrics and everything , had to search for hours finally found it and it was totally worth it !!! My life is now complete , I can die happy :D

Wow I'm not normally the type to stumble upon bands that I can't help but keep listening too... Considering I'm so heavily into electronic genres such as dubstep and trap.
But I've listened to this song so many times now. Something magical about these lyrics. Vocals are so catchy can't help but to sing with it! (: great track!
This is prog rock/metal, not techno, nor dubstep.
Ryan Sadauskis
Holy fuck, how do you consider me that dense???? LOL?
Read my words carefully. I am stating I listen to a lot of electronic genres not that this track is electronic at all (obviously!)... Hence why I am surprised I enjoy it so much. See? :P
+Brennan - Silently Okay, I'm cool with that, it's just I know some people think every damn song can be turned into techno or dubstep.
@minglis88 I agree with your statement there :)
Very true. Its sad how mainstream doesn't share our view yeah?
Hey guys... I´ve never hear about you in Argentina, I´m becoming a world music traveler, that´s how I found you. What a discovery. You rock.
Check out karnivool too another great Australian band.
yeah... great music too. i´m listening it right now. :)
Adam Minehan twelve foot ninja also
+SamWagner704 A thousand times yes to TFN! I discovered them when they toured with 10 Years, and now I can't get enough of these bad ass Australian bands.
+Rodrigo Nielsen Check out Tesseract. They're not Australian, but they're bad ass.
Dead Letter Circus is really talented. I LOVE this band.
If you ask me, Dead Letter Circus is the best Metal band in the world. Simply because they have a Metal-like sound and, unlike the genre, they don't scream into the microphone, they actually sing! xD
It's hard not to love a song when your heart beats to the bass drum and the giutar thrums through your veins.
Cool clip guys, keep it up!
Can't wait to be able to play some of your songs on guitar as well as it's played in your songs!
His voice is magical candy to my precious ears. It sets me out on cloud 9 every time!!!
What an awesome video and song! Just found out about these guys!
Epic track guys and a very cool clip to boot. Love the album, keep it coming!
Everytime I see this video I feel as if I'm watching a scene a Midsummer Nights Dream. This video is amazing
@thefallingdream i just discovered them today and im love
oh my goodness... i love your music!!
As someone who really doesn't like 99.999% of electronic music, I'm not sure I really get the hate on this song for having some drum/key sounds programmed in the background.

Thanks to Comcast's Music Choice rock channel, I've found these guys!!
Yeah I can't wait to see Dead Letter Circus
my mind melted 2:42
you guys are awesome.
keep up the great work.
love it! Great Song writing. Love the 80s vibe
take that back, no need to hate on one of my fave bands!!!
@LoganTotallyz I talked to them after the show in Minneapolis saying they need to come to the US more often than every 3 years.

AWESOME TRACK GUYS, LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT MONA VALE

I just love the vocals!!!! Im a big A Perfec Circle fan, Karnivool is great, Chevelle. I would say DEAD LETTER CIRCUS kicks it! lemme listen sumore n i'll be bak
amazing band. plz come to Japan
@bigbadadman Tom came after the album and the deal to make any videos. He has only just been approved as a new member by the manager/record company
I've seen something like this before, I was at a bush doof in a state forest near the blue mountains, there's was psy-trance being played on some generator run tables and at like 5 in the morning a fog picked up, mixing with the smoke of the camp fires and it looked so much like this
Very awesome guys.
ooo good!!!
your band is perfect guys!!!!
more song whit metal and electro!!!! 😍
LOVE THIS SHIT! thx to Periphery for introducing me to this amazing band!
LOL that was funny... cuz I don't think anyone wants to be 30 Seconds to Mars. But just found these guys and Im in love. awesome

My favorite song from my favorite band!! :D
Seeing them on the 2nd of June!
Amazing stuff
Saw them last night in Townsville :3
So, I guess I'm here in 2022 alone? 🥺🥺🥺
@benoleno96 HOLY SHIT!!! You're right! I switched to 480p as I usually do if it is an option and the quality was totally worse. Switch backed to 360p and it was totally better lol. Good shit for catching that first.
Oh man this is insanely good stuff guys.
i saw this band live THEY WERE AMAZING! I LOVE THEM XD
@Piemasterism LOL thats how i remember their name! DLC= downloadble content and DEAD LETTER CIRCUS WOOO
@osibola i also say, look up karnivool, great band from perth and similar style of music
The good old days when Maric was on guitar.
i foundet this band 20 minutes ago , and i fuckin love them
this video was based apon one of kim's (lead singer) dreams, the lazers and lights are meant to resemble a ufo or something along those lines, they made it in the middle of the bush somewhere and some person seen all the lights and fog and called the cops because they thought there was an illegal rave goin on, haha dead letter are brilliant in every way
This is on their debut album that came out 2 years ago haha. New album comes out end of this year I believe.
If you like this, listen to Karnivool - 'New Day' 'Goliath' 'Mauseum' 'All I Know'. Seriously cool band repping Perth. Aussie music does fucking rule, I swear to god that every second band around here are just straight out sick.
