    🖤🌍
    Our lives, like flowing water, forever thrown into stages of change
    The river must duel the rapids before it can rest in the lake
    Perceptions are conflicted, we waste time fretting what could be
    The first step to understanding madness:
    Identify the cures we seek
    We’re sinking into nothing, but we can feel it all the way down
    Giving up on hoping that our feet will ever hit the ground
    We bite our tongues in the face of god
    Turn nothing into something
    We’re not dead yet
    We play pretend
    Look around and see the glory
    Feel the breeze caress your skin
    We have to come to terms with ourselves
    Real knowledge blooms from within
    Our strength is found in weakness
    Push away the thoughts of disgrace
    Let’s all refuse restriction
    (Find courage)
    I’m too far gone for you to bring me back

      Yeah I feel you, their early catalog (first 2-3 albums) are great. I thought the last album was a snoozer, there were only like 4 songs that were stand-outs (too much electronic production and not enough instruments IMO). However this song was pretty interesting, kind of sounds like they are going for more mainstream appeal like Of Mice and Men, Parkway Drive, etc. did by softening up their sound a bit and adding more catchiness. I thought this song was pretty cool though, reminded me of I Prevail. Just my opinion

    Being As An Ocean aren’t what they used to be, but that’s okay. I appreciate their talent and ability to change their sound however they want, while doing it in a way where they still stay true to their roots while also adding something different.
    Personally, I’m not a fan of the new sound. I think it’s too BMTH sounding for me. But this band will always mean so much to me as their first 3 albums is still some of the best music I’ve ever listened to and helped me through some very rough times.
    I’m so proud of you, BAAO. Keep going and don’t stop.

    • @jonathanrodriguez8367
      @jonathanrodriguez8367 5 лет назад +2

      Their sound has changed but the lyrics and emotions behind it still as strong as their early music; when they release Waiting For Morning to Come Album at first I was scared they'd become a normal band but nowadays I need to hear at least 5 songs from that album as well as the first 3 albums! Btw; please don't compare them to BMTH they truly are a disgrace nowadays

    • @nicknajduk6485
      @nicknajduk6485 5 лет назад +1

      Jonathan Rodriguez the lyrics and emotions are still there without a doubt. And yes, BMTH is quite pathetic nowadays. But the best way I can describe it is it’s becoming a little more Pop-y. And for a band that truly excels at writing lyrics and conveying such deep emotions, I feel that those talents are much more suited (and more appreciated) in a more hardcore genre.

      Commenting mostly to just express an agreement. This song, and even the last album, are really good; but very different from what the band used to be. Its not bad, just different than what I expected. And I have to admit to having a hole where BAAO's old sound used to be.

    I was one of the haters prior to the release of the album a few years ago. It didn't even make sense because I'd only *really* gotten into them with Waiting for Morning to Come. But somehow I found my expextations failed and got carried away by the harsh and unjust critique - I think it was in the comment section under a premiere of this song - and joined it. Since then I've even convinced long-term fans who didn't like this album at first to give it a try with a "new ear".
    I came back here to say I'm sorrry! Being As An Ocean is not only one of the few bands in the Metalcore/Post-Hardcore Genre/Era I regularly come back to, both of their most recent works are among my favorite albums ever! I love when artists evolve, develope their sound and stay true to their being as an artist. I can't tell you how excited I am for any new work to come! Thank you, guys.
