LYRICS
Faith alone
Can’t get me where I need to go
‘Cause I should know
That you don’t wanna get better
When we collide
The worst and darkest parts of me
Come back to life
They weigh me down now I’m tethered
I’ll take your fall and lose it all
You write the narrative
‘Cause you won’t see reality
For what it really is
Suffocate and compensate
’Til I’m empty in the end
And you still take
When I got nothing left
But all I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Now all that I could ask for is for you to f ck ng let me be
All I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Tell me why we cant just let this be?
Faith alone
Holds all the strings that dangle me
Now I don’t know
What dances in my mirror
As time moves on
I say you’re gone but it feels the same
It’s ink that shows
Your toxicity in my veins
I’ll take the fall and lose it all
For what I’ll never know
And you can’t find the nerve to wish me well
The memories and promises
Were they all just for show?
Your photographs they show somebody else
How much further underwater can I sink?
I’ll never know
Now I can barely to hold on
What I need is strength to let go
Take all you want
‘Cause I’m devoid of anything
You don’t contain no empathy
I’m starved for anything
That makes me feel alive
Drain me of every memory
HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THE NEW TRACK! Pre-save the 3rd original album NOW - ffm.to/toletgo
WE WILL! YOU ROCK!
LOVE LOVE LOVED IT THANK YOU!!
Absolutely loved it, looking forward to the full album’s release already. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Mike Lowther on bass is not something I was expecting to see, but it ended up being something I never knew I needed in my life. So for that alone, and the actual song, I thank you, Nate.
Let the boys step in onto the stage. Its time to let go of the past, TO LET GO.
And. Take. Over.
I personally like his non fandom tracks like this, we get to hear him on full display as himself, not behind the lense of another character, and it feels so raw
SAME! His original songs were my introduction to him and while his video game-based stuff are good, these just feel so . . . yeah, you said it best. They’re “raw” and have this gritty feeling that can draw you in.
Nowadays, it seems like his fandom tracks can be seen as standalone songs and you wouldn’t realize they’re based on a video game or cartoon just by listening. I think it’s some of the word choices and the sounds they use that differentiate them from his originals. You can kinda feel the intended theme being slapped on to fit in with whatever franchise it’s supposed to be based on, but the originals feel more like Nate’s real voice singing what he wants to say in the way he prefers to express it.
Same. they're some of my favorite songs by far.
I've been listening to Sandcastle Kingdoms and Paid in Exposure almost constantly since their releases.
Leave Me Behind would like to have a word with you 'bout that lol
1000000000000000% agree. Such a difference but Such a great one.
I just found this song, I'm surprised he's actually doing original songs again. It's been so long.
I stopped liking the "English covers" when I realized there's almost no actually translation being done or even translyrics it's just a completely different song with a similar instrumental
The fandom stuff I've never really enjoyed because yes it keeps the lights on for Nate and the crew but it just felt like wasted potential for awhile. Paid in exposure was over 4 years ago.
I did like the return to full versions of some of his past covers though I'll say that.
This song is like a punch to the face (emotionally speaking). That feeling of wanting someone's approval so bad, of pushing yourself beyond your limits just to impress them, only to get nothing in return, and how you need to push yourself even harder to cut them from your life. I might be trying to relate it to stuff in my personal life too hard, but that's what I took away from it anyway
This is a great analysis of the song and what I got out of it as well!
This comment resonated with me too well. To let go of something or someone that was important to you is very tough. The tendency to fall back into that toxic relationship keeps people from moving on.
Just like me fr fr
I definitely got the same impression.
I'm gonna stream the hell outta this song when it comes out. Gonna be on repeat for at least a few hours.
Ima loop for days always have but this time probably more so 😂❤
Same
For at least 4m 15s
if I do the same thing with this album like I do with other songs, I will be replaying this constantly for weeks or until I find another song.
not if, I will do the same as I do with other albums
Don't think I haven't noticed those callbacks! Great stuff! I am so happy to be here for a few original album!
"You don't contain no empathy" - Callback to Take Me Anywhere "A thousand whitened smiles, but none contain no empathy"
"You can't find the nerve to wish me well" - Callback to Manipulate "Maybe you could find the strength, to smile and wish me well"
"I'll take the fall and lose it all" - Callback to We Are Ignited "Don't look before you take the fall Who knows when you could lose it all"
Little bit more of a stretch, but "all I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me" and "Need you to see me, and know what it's like to be me - If you could just believe me" from Live Long Enough to Become the Hero
"As time moves on, I say you're gone but it feels the same" - callback to Time To Move On
"It's time to let go, time to move on, time to take on a different name"
The melody of "Suffocate and compensate, ’til I’m empty in the end and you still take when I got nothing left" is similar enough or the same as "Madness" before the chorus.
Also might be a stretch but "Your photographs they show somebody else" might be a callback to Branded's line "The mirror showed somebody else", since both lines are talking about who it should show but it doesn't.
And every time I hear the pre-chorus my brain tries to sing "nothing to me" and go "and you still take when I got nothing left. You running from the consequence you won't reap. Sell me out in the end, were you ever a friend?" etc.
The whole post-chorus starting with "How much farther underwater can I sink? I'll never know" feels like a very heavy callback to Branded's bridge "Learning how to sink before I take the time to swim." The whole song honestly feels to me like a continuation or response to Branded imo. Like the two different sides of him arguing about his place in the music industry.
As Nate said once in his instagram, to let it go is about a attempt to forget past traumas and such, this year i started to suffer with anxiety and depression due to something to me (make me remember some past traumas) and this song is a good way to help me
The vocals are so raw with emotion. I just KNOW this whole album is gonna hit different.
So much emotion. Incredible vocal delivery. I love how he hits that distortion on the end of the word "be" at the end of the chorus!
What an amazing song! I'm so excited for this album, I've been hoping for a new original album for years.
I'm here to honor Nate's last original album (for now I believe) and it's titular song, as well as his music in general, after his retirement was annouced today. Thank you Nate for all of the wonderful tunes over the past decade. It was a good battle while it lasted.🎵🎶
The line “Now I can barely hold on, what I need is strength to let go” has literally been getting me through these past weeks. The full album releases on Monday and I literally CANNOT WAIT. Nate, you’re incredible. Always appreciate what you do, man.
NGL, the fandom songs are great and all but this? THIS is what I'm here for! Can't wait to hear the full album!
Unfortunately I'm JUST going to miss the premiere, because I'm "only human" and need to do things like "sleep", but the first thing I do when I wake up is going to be blast this as loud as I can, because I already know it's going to be a certified banger. Can't wait.
EDIT: I was right.
Hope you rest well I called off work for this
He's right guys, sleep is important after all. Don't put the blame on him
I seriously didn't expect him to drop this today! I was literally counting down the days until the 24th. This song sounds so unbelievably amazing! Please keep up the good work Nate and always remember that you have an amazing community that has and will continue to support you always!!!
Keep on rockin!
LETS GOOOO 🤘
This is honestly the best song you have written nate. As a huge music nerd and a big fan I honestly say this song hit all the points and passed with flying colors. Thank you Nate for helping me make such amazing memories with your amazing music! Love you!!
This song is incredible on soo many levels. From the caring opening to the raging chorus. Everyone is a star the Guitarist the Drummer and Nate Singing is all balanced so perfectly and they all compliment each other. Congrats on you 3rd original album i cannot wait for the rest.
HIS BELTING IS SHIVERING I LOVE IT
If this was live at a concert, I'D BE IN THE FRONT ROW.
How do you keep pushing out songs that help me out with *exactly* what I'm going through in life at that *exact* moment? Legit every original you've released has caught me at the most poignant part of my life. I'm really happy you're back to doing originals man, keep up the killer work!
I thought we wouldn't get any more NWTB music, so when the news for the new album dropped I cried tears of joy. Fantastic first song, looking forward to the rest!
I'm pretty sure that what's hapenning is that he won't make fandom inspired music anymore. You see, if you analyse the lyrics of some of his FNAF songs, you'll notice that some of them have nothing to do with the story of the series. "Madness" is a really good example of this. They're about the feeling of being stuck with making FNAF music. Similar thing to "Leave Me Behind".
@@Esteves2102 yeah for sure. i think it was pretty clear that scrap heap was an album about fnaf but not really ABOUT fnaf. like those were definitely more personal and about real life stuff than they were about a video game
Way beyond hyped for this album now, Nate. Love this song to bits, can't wait for October! ❤❤
This song hits so hard right now for me. Im going through some really bad stuff with my mother and this song is a perfect representation of my feelings and pain.
This will be my song of the year for sure
Alittle late, but nate if you see this.
Thank you for coming back, you’ve been a huge part of my life and to see you come back with a new original album really means alot to me as im sure alot of people. Your writing skills and vocal work is amazing and i cant wait to hear the rest of the album thank you for the work you’ve done~
God it's awesome to hear your original music again dude. Absolutely incredible.
Good to come back Nate. Youve grown so much and your music has inspired me since high school. Keep loving and growing man.🙌♥
I was looking for a comment like this. The king of Give Hearts has returned.
Legit was thinking the same thing! Nearly every piece that comes out is almost exactly what I'm feeling at the time it comes out.
this honestly feels so much more inspired than his fandom songs, this makes me excited to hear his future albums
Now that's a good surprise.
This song is officially one year old!!
When we collide the worst and darkest parts of me come back to life
Memories and promises, were they all just for show? Your photographs they show someone else!
This song is incredible 😭💜
I like how this song has a couple parts where it seems like a verse or chorus repetition is gonna be in a soft/saddened/pensive tone, but it immediately goes back to power singing.
Dude yes! Was just thinking there are parts that weirdly remind me of Evanescence, without actually being anything like it.
I think that's iconic part of every his songs
@@awa7328Yeah! But it's still cool! 🎉
I am literally crying right now
I have never seen such an amazing, energic song in which I could also identify with.
You are my hero nate
This song is literally my new obsession, the energy, emotion and just overall sound of it is gorgeous. Your music has never failed to constantly surpass expectations and be a joy to listen to.
You're easily one of the best music artists I've ever came across and I'm so glad I did discover you.
Man, if this is a sign for what the rest of the album is going to be then it bodes very well!! It really shows how your sound has evolved since your last full original album. The lyricism is pretty similar, and you've really refined it over the years with the level of personal talk while it being general enough for it to resonate with a lot of people. Very cool!
Wow. And I thought Time to Move On would’ve been enough to jerk some tears. But man, I was a mess listening to this. The vocals and lyrics are incredible, and the additional screams and chord progressions really helps the song maintain that saddening/rageful feel of the song. If this is just the start, I’m super de-duper excited for the rest of the album ❤️
Its vintage yet new. We see the something old, yet there's a new polished and refined look to you and the band. If this is just the tip of the iceberg I cannot *wait* to see what you have in store for the new album.
You people know this Banger deserves more likes and views?
“All I’ve ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me” hits so hard ❤️
This song was phenomenal!!! I’m losing my mind over it actually. Was already pumped for this album but now it can’t come out soon enough. You’ve really found your sound Nate and I’m living for it
freaking hell, I've been waiting for many years for this moment to be repeated. It's incredible to hear your original work again Nathan, Phantom was a spectacular work and it left me wanting to hear more from you for many years.
LET THIS MAN COOK!!!
I knew this album was gonna be worth the wait but DAMN this goes so hard !! Can't wait to hear the other tracks off this album !!!
If this is what we can expect from the rest of the album, then holy shit this is fire, like straight flames. Nate, my man, you outdid yourself🤘🏻
The fact that this song has been Released on my birthday feels like a treat. It's honestly times like now that I forgot just how much I loved Nate's music. It reminded me of when Sandcastle Kingdoms came out and how I felt when I first heard those songs. That same feeling has come back. The song instantly sucked me in and I instantly fell in love with this song. I'm super excited for the next album .
this song is so amazing. we got faith in you nate, don’t worry. everyone did amazing!
1.6 Million Subscribers and only 66 thousand of them decided to show up for this banger of a song.
Ik im late but this is so sad this song is amazing I can’t believe it only has 150k now
I can't wait to trauma bond with this song for the next 72 hours while I disassociate in a grocery store stuffing mix aisle
I’m not kidding. At this point I listened to this song over 20 times on repeat and I’m still not bored. Who else did the same?
Been playing it for the whole month it’s been out damn already?
It dosen't matter if it's Fandom or original tracks, what matters is that nate sings his heart out the way he wants it, and that's important, so follow the music in your heart nate and never let that beat die out! uwu
An unexpected, but very much welcome surprise.
This was an absolute joy all the way through.
Phenomenal job as always to anyone and everyone who assisted.
There is no man who can use his voice quite like Nate can, I'm gutted I didn't find his music earlier!!!
I love how this song matches what I’m currently going through at the moment. It’s actually helping me realize that I don’t need to stress and feel anxious, that I don’t owe anyone anything for the sake of my mental health.
Thank you, Nate for such an amazing song! ❤
Another banger as always, Nate! This was well worth the hype and I will definitely be streaming this album! I'm absolutely loving the rawness of this song!
I started following your music back in 2015/2016. I'm so glad I stuck around. You've grown so much and your music is amazing.
NATTEEEEE IVE BEEN WITH YOU MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD IM NOW 17 AND IM SO PROOUD OF HOW FAR YOUVE COME AND I LOVE YOUR MUSICCC❤❤
This song has been stuck in my head ever since
I can't stop listening to it
Nate's voice is just so iconic
This is not just S tier; it's on a God tier level.
Yk it's rlly insane bc all of nates songs sound similar, yet completely unique individually. I've never heard any other artist make so many songs and make them SO AMAZING, yet so different w out entirely copying a similar melody. He incorporates some parts of songs into other songs, but the rest is completely unique and it all is so so cool and all of it is just so so beautiful. I'd give anything to see this man in concert, srsly
The song was so fire that the house started to burn down. 🔥🔥🔥
Yet another banger!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing!! ✨
Your original music is always the best. Masterful work as always, Nate and crew!
This was, without a doubt, one of the best songs I have heard in years. Amazing job, Nate. Absolute banger
We love you, Nate. We all love you
This legit has me in tears. When I said I was gonna heavily relate to this...I RELATED to this...The lyrics, the video, everything is just perfectly put together. Those lyrics cut deep, man. I feel like this album is gonna heal me in ways people are not gonna get. I have been through so much shit this last year or more, and this really did come at a good time for me. When I say ur music has literally saved me...I mean it. It really has. I have the NWTB scissor logo tattooed on my right wrist to remind me that things are gonna be okay eventually. Thank you for everything you do Nate
Really glad Nates done this new Album
I wont lie, when he started doing non fandom music it wasnt really for me back then, but now this albums releasing I wanted to go back and give the non fandom stuff another shot
Now i have CDs for both Sandcastle Kingdoms and Paid In Exposure and the albums are in my spotify playlists too and I'll be getting this Album too
They say music comes from the heart and soul. Thank you for showing the most vulnerable, powerful, unique, and complex parts of your heart with us over the years, Nate. No matter what you do or where you chose to take your career, just know you'll never be alone. 🙏
My fav tracks from artists are ones like these i know the songs based on popular media will always get more views but songs like this have an emotional energy that no other songs have. Other examples is 'lazy' and 'Hit the snooze' from the living tombstone and 'metamorphosis'from monarch/amalee there's this personal relatability that just makes them so good,just like 'to let go'
This song hits me right in the gut. It's smooth, yet tough. It connects so well with current things going on in my life. I needed to hear this.
Worth the wait this is amazing and my daughter and me are dying for another tour! Chicago is waiting for you Nate!!! ❤❤❤
We have faith in you, Nate ❤️
I get the sense that this song is about an abusive and controlling romantic partner who abandoned you after you finally broke out of their grasp.
Wow, I have to say that I absolutely loved your latest music video! The visuals were stunning, and the way you incorporated the lyrics into the story was so creative. Your voice sounded amazing as always and the melody was so catchy, I can't stop humming it. Keep up the great work, you have a true musical talent, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
This song has been on repeat since it came out and I can’t believe that this is the first time I’m watching the mv😭 I love Nate’s music so much omg
All I See has been my ringtone since it came out, but this is definitely replacing it. Holy shit I can't wait for the full album.
"Your photographs, they show somebody else" absolute chills!
The feels are insane
I'm so glad to see Nate be back with some original songs, and this one is absolutely amazing!
Oh my god. Absolutely. So. Good. Can't believe it released two days early 😭
Thank you, Nate, for this absolute banger.
Dammnn those high notes, I'm already in love with this song and excited for the rest to come !!
Loved old Nate music, that once was before Anime Cover Age, so happy to hear it again.
Not saying the covers are bad, but this is the good stuff.
There's no such thing as a bad Nate song 💖
This song hits so different for me right now. This is EXACTLY how I feel/felt about my last relationship that lasted 2 years. The break up is still somewhat recent so this just hits different. And as always, you killed it Nate!
Hey Nate hopefully you read this. I just want to let you know how much of a positive impact your music has had on me. Your songs are so relatable and have helped me in my lowest lows. You saved me from ending it all. Your my hero Nate. When I lost my nan, my dog and felt alone your music made me feel like I was no longer alone. When I was self harming and trying to commit suicide I found you, your music and just as I was going to actually do it a song of yours played, it related to me so much, made me feel not so alone. If it wasn't for you I would be dead right now. I am forever grateful to you and I hope I'll be able to talk about it all on Instagram or something properly.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Man this hits really hard
you did very well with this one
gonna go ahead and leave a comment because I've listened to this 20 times since it's come out and just wanted you to know, this shit slaps Nate, I love the emotion that went into this track.
THIS WAS HECKING AWESOME!!! If this is a banger already, cant wait to hesr the rest! I already heard the demo and theres 2-3 big possible faves incoming!
Keep up and keep on rockin Nate!
I would love to see how nate writes and produces his songs. Like a quick tutorial/showcase it would be so cool.
I'm so excited! 😃❤️🖤💙💛💕💞✨🎵🎤🔥
I'm getting some HUGE Dayseeker vibes from this. If the rest of the album is like this, then we got something to rival Paid in Exposure.
This song is so fuckong good. Scratch that, the whole album is.
[Verse 1]
Faith alone can't get me where I need to go
'Cause I should know that you don't wanna get better
When we collide, the worst and darkest parts of me
Come back to life, they weigh me down
Now I'm tethered (Tethered)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll take your fall and lose it all, you write the narrative
'Cause you won't see reality for what it really is
Suffocate and compensate 'til I'm empty in the end
And you still take when I got nothing left
[Chorus]
But all I ever wanted was for you
To have some faith in me (Have some faith in me)
Now all that I could ask for is for you
To fuckin' let me be (To fuckin' let me be)
[Verse 2]
Faith alone holds all the strings that dangle me
Now I don't know what dances in my mirror
As time moves on, I say you're gone but it feels the same
It's ink that shows your toxicity in my veins (Veins)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll take the fall and lose it all, for what? I'll never know
And you can't find the nerve to wish me well (Wish me well)
The memories and promises, were they all just for show?
Your photographs, they show somebody else
[Chorus]
But all I ever wanted was for you
To have some faith in me (Have some faith in me)
Now all that I could ask for is for you
To fuckin' let me be (To fuckin' let me be)
[Refrain]
How much further underwater can I sink? I'll never know
Now I can barely hold on, what I need is strength to let go
All I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Tell me, why you can't just let this be
[Bridge]
Take all you want, 'cause I'm devoid of anything
You don't contain no empathy
I'm starved for anything that makes me feel alive
Drain me of every memory
[Chorus]
All I wanted was some faith in me
Now all that I could ask for is for you
To fuckin' let me be (To fuckin' let me be)
[Refrain]
How much further underwater can I sink? I'll never know
Now I can barely hold on, what I need is strength to let go
All I ever wanted was for you to have some faith in me
Tell me why you can't just let this be
Chronologically ordered Lyrics:
Faith alone

Now all that I could ask for is for you to fucking let me be
How much further underwater can I sink?

Absolutely love the sound and lyrics of the song. Nate’s originals are always such bangers. Listening to this in a back to back with All I See is gonna give mega feels. So excited for the rest of the album!
I can't state how excited I am for the album. New original music is just, so good. This song, amazing, and I'm sure the rest will be just as good
Man I've always loved Nate's originals but this blew my expectations out of the water this hits so hard.
As soon as I saw it was up, I walked away to listen to it. It definitely didn't disappoint. This song is amazing. You're awesome Nate
So so excited for this!!
first words outta my mouth were "Instant classic, every fuckin time"- and I mean it. Every single track Nate has put out has been fucking phenomenal, his original works shine like sapphires to me. I am unbelievably hyped for this album and I hope I can see him in concert again someday; my first ever concert was with him, Vespera, and CG5, and I could never have asked for a better trio to shake the building around me. I hope he gets everything he deserves forever
I am so proud right now, I love when nerdcore artists write orginal music. first Groundbreaking and now Nate, Hell yeah!!
Dude fuck yes! This is what you do best Nate! Original music, been listening to your music for an insanely long time, over 10 years now, those Pokémon parodies take me back haha. But seriously in my eyes you're a mainstream artist in my eyes, ever since you dropped that song Monster Inside you turned a new leaf, i fucking love you man! Rock On
WOW! This was so amazing and beautiful to hear the song has a bunch of emotions and the singing is just phenomenal good job Nate!
