Ahh to be 14 and rocking out to this with headphones on, or early in the morning while getting ready for school, with black eye shadow, snake bites and all black wardrobe. I’m 26 now and still rocking out to this in the gym or I’m the car with my toddler! Good old memories
This song was my introduction to Underoath and Metalcore, its still as good now as it was back then. These guys are amazing and i'm so glad i got to see them play last month, hands down the best show I have ever been to. I really hope they get in the studio again.
LYRICS: I've been crawling around in the dark for a while. Sprawled out across the floor. Not collecting dust anymore. Define me a parasite. Define my host. Trapped beneath the floor. I slowly waste away. Now I pull my frail body into the chair. And look me in the face. Oh, disappointments, so disappointing. This may be my last one. It's gonna be good and hard. It might be a touch out of key. When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. I'm afraid that this is really happening. When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy Oh, God the noise! Is ringing in my ear. It's so unclear. I hear them talking. But can't make out the words. Speak up. Speak clear. God, where have I been. I'm terrible company. With zero apologies. My God where have I been. Where have i been. While I sink to the bottom. I'll sing out as it fills with water. I hope I've done enough. When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. I'm afraid that this is really happening. I'm worn out. (Where have I been) I'm worn thin. Where have I been) I will never break through. (Where have I been) Let me out
For those who don't understand the video: A lot of the lyrics from this were made from Spencer's overcoming his drug addiction and reinforce his relationship with God (since from what I know, there are/were all all christians). here is my interpretation of the video. The boy represents Spencer's current appearance and that old man at the end of the video represents God that sends him an angel. The band represents the soul of Spencer, the pure, the good, the great out of Spencer. And that part of him (the band) is locked inside a box cause of all the drugs Spencer had been having at the time. The angel removes the box out of Spencer mouth, forcing Spencer to follow it to wherever it goes. The translation to it in real life would be that everytime there's no more drug in your system, your addiction to it forces you to follow anything/anyone that can give you some more. No matter what it takes to get it (Hence the name of the song "Desperate Times, Desperate measures") . At the end of the video, He then gets to a point where following the angel that took the drug he's looking for leads him to God. He then gives him the box, which to him contains something he needs (the drug). But God lead him here and put him in this situation to set his soul (the band screaming inside) free. The whole band performing the song, as well as the lyrics go about the desperation that the real Spencer locked inside the box need to be set free for the evil him to be locked inside the box. "When this thing breaks, I will be you, You'll be me" You can also see that towards the end of the song when Spencer is desperately screaming "I will never break through (I refuse to give up on you). Let me out let me out" and It ends right when the boy opens the box. Another interpretation of the video could be that it's the other way round. The band represents the evil side that comes with taking drugs and that old man at the end of the video represents the Devil that tricked him into opening the box. But the reason I'd likely go with the first interpretation would be cause, right at the end of the video, the boy opens his eyes on the bed and you realize that all this video was actually a dream. Which means that God sent him a vision through his sleep telling him the only person that can set him free from his demons is himself and nobody else. Also the following song on the album is too bright to see, too loud to hear. Which is pretty much about Spencer waking up from all the nonsense he's been doing from his drug addiction, and asking forgiveness for all the wrongs he'd done and also asking the lord to help him find his way back home. Home being the lord's kingdom (could be our world, could be heaven). Hope that will make the video more understandable now :D
For me, this song was 'Underoath 101'. My friend brought the cd, told me to pop it in my player. So I did what he told, put on my headphones, select this track, and as the intro started to play HOLY SHIT THIS BAND IS AMAZING! WHY DIDN'T I EVER HEARD THEM BEFORE? I'M GONNA BUY THEIR ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY! Best decision of my life.
Punk rock MBA brought me here again. Define the great line is one of my all time favorite albums of any band and it made me forget how fucking brilliant this album / song is
Bro, I absolutely loved that. God definitely helped me through the darkness in my life with UnderOATH. It's good to see someone else sees it more than just music.
Underoath’s 2008 album, Lost in the Sound of Separation just probably celebrated its 15th anniversary this year. 2008 to 2023, WOW!!!!! 🤘🎸Ø 2008: Being released 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013: 5th Anniversary 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018: 10th Anniversary 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023: 15th Anniversary
God, I still remember the feeling of counting down until the time this video would be posted. It was such a huge deal for me at the time! I can't believe I was only 13
Rude skinny jeans, band tees,lip piercings, and gauges man those were the days 😔 hanging out at hot topic listening to all the new music I discovered BMTH and Underoath there
Hell yeah. After not listening to DTGL and LITSOS for like 5 years came back to these two albums last year in June and to this day haven't stopped listening to them
I know that Underoath like to have a "live" feeling for their records but LITSOS is one the cleanest/best produced/mixed albums of all time (and that is a good thing)
...I will always have THIS. Things change....people change...sometime for the good, sometimes for the other....but THIS, regardless of time periods, I'll have. Shout out to the fans who just had to come back.
I think its funny when people are just now finding this band when they came out in like 1999 :D they will always be my favorite band since 5th grade lol when I discovered them.
I've been listening to underOATH since Cries of the Past. I used to be a huge fan of the heavy metal genre, but kinda outgrew it. Most of the bands didn't grow and change. But I still listen to this band, and they never fail to disappoint me. Fuckin' sick.
Ahh to be 14 and rocking out to this with headphones on, or early in the morning while getting ready for school, with black eye shadow, snake bites and all black wardrobe. I’m 26 now and still rocking out to this in the gym or I’m the car with my toddler! Good old memories
I know right? 😭
Black sleeves now 🤣🤣🤣 still going hard
Youre still SO YOUNG! Live it up! I remember skating to school in my skinny jeans and long hair rocking out at 16yo. I'm 32 now :(
The drumming in this song is peak Underoath. I revisit this song often and have since I was a teenager
Im sorry but every underoath song needs to be listened to with volume all the way up. Underoath is the best
While the whole world is fighting because of "Despacito", I'm here, in the greatness of nostalgia
The very band that introduced me to metalcore. It's so sad they're gone but they're not forgotten to me.
***** Check out their Facebook page. They're coming back
***** same dude
Giruga x Hakusho OMG really :)
Astrid Miriam i think so. They are teasing something
Giruga x Hakusho they just confirmed they're playing Self Help this year
This is the greatest Metalcore song I’ve ever heard.
I swear to baby Jesus this is one of the best bands my ears have been blessed by
I Can't get enough of Underoath's music ... so much energy , I love it!!
One of many bands from that decade with amazing drummers, that had a killer voice as well
Please share some of your favourites? :)
As one myself, I’d like to check out more Aaron’s haha
Heard this on madden years ago came back to hear it again.
Madden 09😪😪
Same my dude, when madden wasn’t dog shit
Heard this for the first time in 2024. Absolute incredible banger.
Welcome
@@xtenthfloorx 🤘🤘
These lyrics are so eerie for the times we are in right now. A world lost in the sound of separation.
2020 Listening
You're awesome. Me too man. Me too.
Until the grave.
Undying Playlist
2021
hmm
This song was my introduction to Underoath and Metalcore, its still as good now as it was back then. These guys are amazing and i'm so glad i got to see them play last month, hands down the best show I have ever been to. I really hope they get in the studio again.
I can safely say the same
I loved this song on Madden 09
These guys will always have a special place in my heart. Helped me through some rough times and they are always that band I see myself coming back to
LYRICS:
I've been crawling around in the dark for a while.
Sprawled out across the floor.
Not collecting dust anymore.
Define me a parasite. Define my host.
Trapped beneath the floor.
I slowly waste away.
Now I pull my frail body into the chair.
And look me in the face.
Oh, disappointments, so disappointing.
This may be my last one.
It's gonna be good and hard.
It might be a touch out of key.
When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me.
I'm afraid that this is really happening.
When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me.
Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy
Oh, God the noise! Is ringing in my ear.
It's so unclear. I hear them talking.
But can't make out the words.
Speak up. Speak clear.
God, where have I been.
I'm terrible company. With zero apologies.
My God where have I been.
Where have i been.
While I sink to the bottom.
I'll sing out as it fills with water.
I hope I've done enough.
When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me.
Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy
When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me.
I'm afraid that this is really happening.
I'm worn out. (Where have I been)
I'm worn thin. Where have I been)
I will never break through. (Where have I been)
Let me out
In 2023 it's still a banger!!

Best decision of my life.
Why can’t all music be this Unique and timeless, regardless of genre?
still my undisputed favorite underoath song. i get hyped every, single, time.
2021 still here. My older brother loved your music...
2023💚💚💚 still obsessed
highly underrated song, probably my favorite from Underoath's last dance!
deftones and underoath. all a man needs
Madden 09 i think...
Man these dudes are EPIC AF!
Just like The Golden Era of Madden.
UNDEROATH!!!!! 🤘🎸Ø
2018 and "Lost in the Sound of Separation" is still the best full length Album from Underoath
Agree, still the best!
Warped tour was so much fun... these homies were a big reason why. Good times.
Those low guitar notes with Spencer's vocals at 1:26 are so damn good
It's still one of my favorite songs, and Lost in the Sound of separation, my favorite album of all time
Underoath... never ceases to amaze me
honestly so underrated
Underoath is an understatement. It's so nice to see you guys around. 🤘❤️
Here in 2022 for some underoaths best song
BEST BAND EVER
Remains my favorite Underoath song to date!
this song is killer even after all these years, randomly came across the video and im in awe
Currently binge watching your music videos. Gahd i miss listening to you 😭😭
Greatest heavy album to ever be written over any deathcore hardcore album ever. This is real
Posthardcore/metalcore
Ah, a classic.
20 years latest and here I am enough said
This band is the reason why I play drums and loves music. Farewell my biggest inspiration!
God where have I been? I'm in terrible company with zero apologies.
Punk rock MBA brought me here again. Define the great line is one of my all time favorite albums of any band and it made me forget how fucking brilliant this album / song is
Define the great line is truly a masterpiece.
Define the great line was the album before this song
Listening 2024

I'm so happy that they're reuniting. I really hope that I can go to their reunion concert.
When? where? O:
+Dani 'ダニ' ♡ Oh they had a reunion tour going on but idk if it's still going.
It's still ongoing. They'll be having a tour with Bring Me the Horizon and Beartooth in March 2017
this entire album is art
Played this after YEARS and let me tell you this shit hit just like it did when I was 11.
this song always reminds me of spring early summertime for some reason
1:52 hits hard🔥🔥🔥🔥
And this too at 2:56

UNDERØATH FOREVER!!
God, I still remember the feeling of counting down until the time this video would be posted. It was such a huge deal for me at the time! I can't believe I was only 13
I remember seeing this music video on Headbanger's Ball on MTV back in the day
Their lyrics are really dope, and so relatable, to me at least..
2019 much l0v3 UND35O4TH ♥️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
There are songs that gets old but you'll end up searching for it out of nowhere and here you are
This song is just...AMAZING. I love it.
2017- still OBSESSED
Rude skinny jeans, band tees,lip piercings, and gauges man those were the days 😔 hanging out at hot topic listening to all the new music I discovered BMTH and Underoath there
remember TRIP pants?
fave one by then
Speak up speak clear!!!!
I hear this guys when i have 13 years.... and i like today so much!
This is Art 🤟🏼
R.I.P. Underoath :( The band that got me into heavy music.
2018 and I still listening and singing LOL
2024 anyone!!!!!
Hell yeah. After not listening to DTGL and LITSOS for like 5 years came back to these two albums last year in June and to this day haven't stopped listening to them
🔥
I know that Underoath like to have a "live" feeling for their records but LITSOS is one the cleanest/best produced/mixed albums of all time (and that is a good thing)
Agreed. Lost in the Sound was defiantly their best mixed record. Disambiguation would of been perfect if it weren't so compressed :(
Always loved the art style for this music video. Reminds me of a Hieronymus Bosch painting.
Me looking for this song, finding the video, and then scrolling past it because I just couldn't believe this was released 11 years ago.
...I will always have THIS. Things change....people change...sometime for the good, sometimes for the other....but THIS, regardless of time periods, I'll have. Shout out to the fans who just had to come back.
Best song.
This song never hit 1 million?! I'm offended.....
Pfft YOU!? man I feel like I gave them at least 700,000 back in 2010
@@rastawisehigh8734 you’re a real OG 👏🏾
Awesome riffs \M/
Saw them last night. They were fucking great.
This is so underrated!

underoath are the epitome of modern metal
2021 listening
best christian band ever
I've been listening to underOATH since Cries of the Past. I used to be a huge fan of the heavy metal genre, but kinda outgrew it. Most of the bands didn't grow and change. But I still listen to this band, and they never fail to disappoint me. Fuckin' sick.
the video itself, in terms of views, deserves at least a Mill.
