LYRICS : To take away our expression Is to impoverish our existence It's insatiable; What we're waiting for So to keep us from falling apart We'll write songs in the dark And to keep us from fading away We'll write for a better day So to keep us from falling apart We'll write songs in the dark And to keep us from fading away We'll write… It will flourish, it will thrive It will nourish; A spring cleaning of the mind It will flourish, it will thrive To take away our expression Is to impoverise our existence They silence and censor Our right to create In cells we choke, Without what is innate So to keep us from falling apart We'll write songs in the dark And to stop us from fading away We'll write for a better day This vomiting of anguish and eruption of the soul To radiate energy to comfort and console To scatter our thoughts, to splatter our spirit A blizzard of fire with all we transmit It's insatiable What we're waiting for It will flourish, it will thrive It will nourish; A spring cleaning of the mind So to keep us from falling apart We'll write songs in the dark And to stop us from fading away We'll write for a better day
Love Shikari so much, I basically grew up with this band. I still remember listening to these guys on my way to school, and i still listen to them on the way to work or uni.
Agrred. I'm usually not really into Metal, I'm more the Drum'n Bass-guy, but their music is dam good. And if you don't agree with me, there are plenty really good remixes around
Johnny No need to be snarky, I actually think there are plenty of decent bands going this year. Granted I had to research them beforehand because I had never heard of them, but they're good.
Saw them open for ADTR and no lie I went there not even Knowing who ADTR was, even left during their set. Honestly though I felt bad because thats when Downfall of us All was new and Homesick became one of my top albums... But I went for Shikari. Two kids in line were talking about them and said "Some shitty band from europe" I saw them buying shirts after there set!
This band has one of if not THE best performance live I've seen, they're so passionate and so interactive with the fans! Their concert is definitely an unique experience
Enter Shikari will always be my favorite band. Its because of them that I opened up my mind and became more aware of the world that we all live in. They also helped me find The Venus Project. I urge anyone to look into this revolutionary concept (designed by social engineer, Jacque Fresco) if you would like to know how we all could have a better world :)
I remember when I seen them live on November 21, 2012. That was my first concert ever. I heard their song "Sorry You're Not A Winner" and fell in love with their music ever sense. Amazing band!
I've been listening to this song since I was 13 years old.... I know exactly what it means now. Thank you so much Enter Shakari. For being in my life during the hardest time. I love you. I understand. Stay woke.
My and my girlfriend's dreams came true at Woodstock Festival! After opening this festival I've met Rob and Rory, we were talking, I took a photo with them. Thank you guys! I won't forget that :D My hands were shaking as hell :D And the concert... The most epic concert in my life! Thank you very much guys. Thanks! :)
Wish people would stop trying to guess the genre of the song and what inspired it and just listened to the song, Shikari are to good to pin down to one genre and one inspiration.
I love the song but this video is kick ass on a technical stand point. I love the use of typography and the lighting is spot on. The music and video are on point.
I'm pmsl at how single minded some people are on here, I bet you listened to the first note of the song and decided 'this is shit' and spewed out all of your ugly opinions into the comment section. These guys put so much time and effort into their songs and dedication to their fans and deserve a hell of a lot more adoration and attention. They're not everyone's cup of tea, granted, but if you don't like them, keep your feelings to yourself and piss off.
All of their back vocals and vocals are Amazing . It's that transports me and make me travel . Amazing band, amazing songs from their beginning to our day . Just two words : Thank you
This song is what Russian people need right now. Our government pursue artists who against current politic system. Their concerts get canceled in last hour, they can't distribute their music among the people. And sadly Radiate is not allowed to listen on main audio streaming platform... Dunno if it's because of our government or if it's because of label of Enter Shikari :(
oooh...so you hypotesis is that these are all angry CS:GO nerds? AHahahah those that rant at you when you miss headshots? People always hate on me on CS ahahaha
It was really only Rou's love of Sigur Ros that made me like Shikari as I've never got em before, but hearing the influences in this, especially towards the end, Shikari are too sick, loving the new stuff and getting into the older stuff too!
One of the few bands nowadays that just keeps getting better and better. They deserve so much more credit for how hard they work and for constantly releasing new music.
Is this your first time listening to them? If so, I would definitely recommend listening to either A Flash Flood of Colour or Common Dreads and THEN make up your mind about them, just a suggestion.
Sorry this compared to sorry you're not a winner is an insult they were better before now I can't stand this it's not even as good should have stayed the same as then
Shyftus now how am I supposed to explain people around me why I just burst out laughing? You just gave me a new "default answer" to internet music rants!
3:40 reminds me of Solidarity. How they combine lyrics from Take to the Skies and some new ones from Common Dreads. They mix together so well, and so do the lyrics in this new song. I've come back to it now at least ten times.
Just saw them live tonight. Went there for the opening act, but ended up surprised at how amazing these guys are! This one stuck with me when they played it.
This is one of their great songs, undoubtedly! But contrary to what some guys are saying back there, taking a piss at "Sorry you're not a winner", I have to say you just can't be more wrong. "Sorry you're not a winner" is one of my favorite and I consider it one of the greatest songs ever! It's freaking awesome! You just feel the raw energy, while Enter Shikari are playing it radiating off in waves...
Enter Shikari keeps getting better right when I think it cant get any better .. it makes no sense.. Like after Take to the Skies i was like nope cant get better.. then Common Dreads came out and I was like WHAT im in love.. then A Flash Flood of Colour came out and I couldn't believe it.. now they are just blowing my mind.
LYRICS :
To take away our expression
Is to impoverish our existence
It's insatiable;
What we're waiting for
So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write for a better day
So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write…
It will flourish, it will thrive
It will nourish;
A spring cleaning of the mind
It will flourish, it will thrive
To take away our expression
Is to impoverise our existence
They silence and censor
Our right to create
In cells we choke,
Without what is innate
So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to stop us from fading away
We'll write for a better day
This vomiting of anguish and eruption of the soul
To radiate energy to comfort and console
To scatter our thoughts, to splatter our spirit
A blizzard of fire with all we transmit
It's insatiable
What we're waiting for
It will flourish, it will thrive
It will nourish;
A spring cleaning of the mind
So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to stop us from fading away
We'll write for a better day
Legend
Хорошо, что про Россию. Молодцы Enter Shikari ❤
Love Shikari so much, I basically grew up with this band. I still remember listening to these guys on my way to school, and i still listen to them on the way to work or uni.
this literally made me smile (: awh.
Sames bro
You unicycle too !!! Cheers mate!!!
Hell yeah man this band a few others got me through school and beyond!
Enter shikari are one of those rare bands where about ten of their best songs don't actually feature on albums - the output of these guys is massive
the thing i like about enter shikari is that no matter what music tastes you have there is pretty much a song for everybody
!!!
Agrred. I'm usually not really into Metal, I'm more the Drum'n Bass-guy, but their music is dam good. And if you don't agree with me, there are plenty really good remixes around
This is electronicore, not metal
This is FuckAllBoundariesCore
hell yeah
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING
I SAW THEM ANNOUNCED FOR WARPED AND HAD NO IDEA WHO THEY WERE. NOW I DO AND I'M SO EXCITED
well they are one of the non-lame band on the tour this year....sorry for breaking your heart :-)
Johnny
They are possibly the best live band i have seen, i have seen them twice and it was mental both times
Johnny No need to be snarky, I actually think there are plenty of decent bands going this year. Granted I had to research them beforehand because I had never heard of them, but they're good.
I've never understood the song until now. BLESS YOU ENTER SHIKARI
Great truths are coming
Enter Shikari has been kicking it for years now!
Love all there old and new stuff!
Can't*
+Cant Think of A Name Yesss!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're not that old compared to the bands I listen to from the start...but quality and hugely underrated
They're so underrated in America.
Pretty True. Правда!
Saw them open for ADTR and no lie I went there not even Knowing who ADTR was, even left during their set. Honestly though I felt bad because thats when Downfall of us All was new and Homesick became one of my top albums... But I went for Shikari. Two kids in line were talking about them and said "Some shitty band from europe" I saw them buying shirts after there set!
@@JimmyFunkytown Need a hell of a lot more Shikari here in the states that's for sure
Still a relevant comment 6 years later. Very sad :/
Hell the fuck no they’re not.
My favorite Enter Shikari song!
I'm sad i just found this band.... but listening to eyery song they made for the 1st time has been fucking awesome
this song has so many meanings
I love it whenever he sings softly! Gives me that ASMR feeling!
This song really grows on you. Didn't like it at first, now it's playing on repeat.
From 0:06 to 0:26 it was AMAZING. If only it had more moments like that.
Could sb please create 10 hour version of this?!)
This band has one of if not THE best performance live I've seen, they're so passionate and so interactive with the fans! Their concert is definitely an unique experience
Not surprised.
It's incredible just like every other release from the legendary ES.
Great job guys!
Your picture intrigues me..... How much do you know about the meaning of this song
BMTH , Architects , The Ghost Inside and Enter Shikari the best of UK!
Maybe research shit before you just say random things that aren't true.
Faustolino Pentelho The Ghost Inside are American. But yeah all those bands are great
You mean WSS, Bury Tomorrow, Architects and enter shikari are best of UK
BMTH used to be so good! Now they sound like a cheap copy of Linkin Park
Bury tomorrow just your typical metalcore band nout special about then. Shikari wss and architects on the other hand are stand outs
13 seconds in, already love it.
same
Jonny Necrosis 1 second in LOVE IT XD
YEAH, KICK IT!
Enter Shikari will always be my favorite band. Its because of them that I opened up my mind and became more aware of the world that we all live in. They also helped me find The Venus Project. I urge anyone to look into this revolutionary concept (designed by social engineer, Jacque Fresco) if you would like to know how we all could have a better world :)
nice this song is amazing!
if you are first time listeners of enter shikari, listen to take to the skies, the album is awesome
Take to the skies is amazing.. there's not one bad song on that album.. but Common Dreads was what got me hooked on them:)
Cannot get more true than that. Enter Shikari are literally the best band I've heard of.
Not sure if I like the different'ish kind of sound but this song is pretty beautiful :)
for what ever reason this song is just a million times better live, i get goose bumps every time i watch it live but not from the studio version...
I remember when I seen them live on November 21, 2012. That was my first concert ever. I heard their song "Sorry You're Not A Winner" and fell in love with their music ever sense. Amazing band!
Good stuff
This song feels even more relevant than ever now. Amazing!
This song gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it... 2.30 mins onwards fully gets me
I've been listening to this song since I was 13 years old.... I know exactly what it means now. Thank you so much Enter Shakari. For being in my life during the hardest time. I love you. I understand. Stay woke.
Just imagine if Shikari wrote songs in the light? Their songs would be even more EPIC!
Great song. One of my new favourite bands.
My and my girlfriend's dreams came true at Woodstock Festival! After opening this festival I've met Rob and Rory, we were talking, I took a photo with them. Thank you guys! I won't forget that :D My hands were shaking as hell :D And the concert... The most epic concert in my life! Thank you very much guys. Thanks! :)
one of the best Shikari song ever
That frequency in the beginning was wonderful, I wish I had that sound on a loop or something.
ちょうどいいギターのエモさがいい。
How the hell is this almost 7 years old? It feels like yesterday when it dropped.
The song is energetic and warmful at the same time.
The text is very beautiful
2:30 - It gets so powerful
You guys need to play in the states again! I was at the portland show! Come back, I need a good concert to go to.
I never actually loved Enter Shikari before i heard this song. now i have all their albums
This song is great.
this is reason why i love enter shikari...
3:30 onwards is sick!!
song resonates with every year that goes by..............
Wish people would stop trying to guess the genre of the song and what inspired it and just listened to the song, Shikari are to good to pin down to one genre and one inspiration.
I love the song but this video is kick ass on a technical stand point. I love the use of typography and the lighting is spot on. The music and video are on point.
That's what I love about Enter Shikari. The videos are perfect, and the song-writing is outstanding. They put so much thought into everything.
I love you shikari ! i started listnening to you like in 2007. forgot you for a couple years but im back :) i just got your whole discography
I'm pmsl at how single minded some people are on here, I bet you listened to the first note of the song and decided 'this is shit' and spewed out all of your ugly opinions into the comment section. These guys put so much time and effort into their songs and dedication to their fans and deserve a hell of a lot more adoration and attention. They're not everyone's cup of tea, granted, but if you don't like them, keep your feelings to yourself and piss off.
''To take away our expressions is to impoverish our existence''... So damn true... Guys, you did it once more!
I keep waiting for Enter Shikari to disappoint, and then they don't.
Love, love, love.
ahhhh brings back some good memories. shout out to warped tour 2013!
Lyrics?
Kidding.
i lol'd
I like the bit where they stood still
One of the highest peaks both passionately and musically for ES. Really wish they'd revisit this sound.
major creds to the producer for making the subject matter engaging and entertaining.
10 Years
I want to pimp walk to the intro
Just came to look for it too haha
Found the legend! :D Haha
3:31 best moment =)
BEATSTARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Proud of you guys come from my hometown ❤
Fucking love this band.
Bullet for My Valentine and Enter Shikari are the best british bands and 30 seconds to mars(i think they are british)
Don't forget Architects!
Christian Sundt
no they aren't they are british look in wikipedia
30stm are American, bfmv are welsh.
Pea tear Griffin
what do you mean by welsh?
From Wales.
il m'est la patate se son,,,.........UN BONJOUR DE FRANCE ;))
how did i miss this song?? One of their best!
by far my fave shikari song of all time
that first note on the test card is horrible to listen to
they are coming to spain and i can't go to the performance because i'm not 18..
Yo tampoco tengo 18 y este año vinieron Architects a Bilbao, en este caso no pidieron la edad a nadie, se puede entrar facilmente, intentalo!
Meltdown Band desde que pasó lo que pasó en el madrid arena la seguridad aqui está tripilicada en todos los aspectos, no se yo si podré
Mmm no habia tenido en cuenta eso, suerte! xD
i am coming from uk just for the bilbao gig :) can you go in with someone that is over 18?
Legally you can't, but nobody gives a shit about that, so if the underage kid looks old enough, he/she won't have problems to get in.
The intro is fucking amazing but not too into the song although I still listen to it
***** I can imagine that they'll be good live! This song would be incredible live
***** I've had the chance to see them live but I didn't go because I didn't know them that well
Lillie Bench You should totally see them live! I've been going to festivals and concerts since 2011 and they're one of my top 5 bands live!

Just two words : Thank you
Это было 10 лет назад , а ощущение как будто месяц назад 😭😭
Заебись песня
Cheers, I'll drink to that bro
збс!
This song hits harder with everything that is currently happening in Russia
😢
Cheer~~~~emit (energy, especially light or heat) in the form of rays or waves.😊(good rhythm)
I've been a Shikari fan from the start and nothing mainstream about this.
This song is what Russian people need right now. Our government pursue artists who against current politic system. Their concerts get canceled in last hour, they can't distribute their music among the people. And sadly Radiate is not allowed to listen on main audio streaming platform... Dunno if it's because of our government or if it's because of label of Enter Shikari :(
@Amazombe it's the government. you are correct
why there's suddently so many whiny kids under ES videos? Did i miss something? Goddamit..there's more ate comments that under Justin Bieber's videos!
oooh...so you hypotesis is that these are all angry CS:GO nerds? AHahahah those that rant at you when you miss headshots? People always hate on me on CS ahahaha
***** link to the csgo vid
***** Cheers, Olof is a beast!
Them getting more popular, it happens many really good artist too.
"Love, love me do. You know I love you."
I'm sorry but some of the Beatles' lyrics were appalling.
It was really only Rou's love of Sigur Ros that made me like Shikari as I've never got em before, but hearing the influences in this, especially towards the end, Shikari are too sick, loving the new stuff and getting into the older stuff too!
One of the few bands nowadays that just keeps getting better and better. They deserve so much more credit for how hard they work and for constantly releasing new music.
Eh, they just arent for me. Glad others enjoy them, I guess.
Is this your first time listening to them? If so, I would definitely recommend listening to either A Flash Flood of Colour or Common Dreads and THEN make up your mind about them, just a suggestion.
truegamer88 No take to the skies you need to listen to.
truegamer88 good suggestion
russia 2022
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Sorry this compared to sorry you're not a winner is an insult they were better before now I can't stand this it's not even as good should have stayed the same as then
mimimimimi......
God forbid they not make the same song they made 10 years ago.
Shyftus now how am I supposed to explain people around me why I just burst out laughing?
You just gave me a new "default answer" to internet music rants!
I think they keep getting better and better..
Kian Klenø
im always happy to brighten someones mood! :)
My favorite song of theirs.
Hardcore music is special because everyone belongs, that's why it started in the first place. Fans of any band would do well to remember that.
3:40 reminds me of Solidarity. How they combine lyrics from Take to the Skies and some new ones from Common Dreads. They mix together so well, and so do the lyrics in this new song. I've come back to it now at least ten times.
Enter Shikari will always be special to me.
OWC brought me here. Good song!
Just saw them live tonight. Went there for the opening act, but ended up surprised at how amazing these guys are! This one stuck with me when they played it.
This is one of their great songs, undoubtedly! But contrary to what some guys are saying back there, taking a piss at "Sorry you're not a winner", I have to say you just can't be more wrong.

You just feel the raw energy, while Enter Shikari are playing it radiating off in waves...
There is nothing I can comment that will do enter shikari justice there so good.
The acoustic part is the best part of this song, reminds me of get cape, wear cape, fly.
Man I love Get cape, but.... which part? There's no acoustic in this song
PhineasPhishUK
From 1:30 - 2:09 the clean guitars and vocal reminds me of get cape
+MusicProductionJS I actually know what you mean, that's bizarre haha.
This song and many of Shikari songs have got me through tough times, anyone else feel the same... there songs help so much!
Enter Shikari keeps getting better right when I think it cant get any better .. it makes no sense..
Like after Take to the Skies i was like nope cant get better..
then Common Dreads came out and I was like WHAT im in love..
then A Flash Flood of Colour came out and I couldn't believe it..
now they are just blowing my mind.
さいっっっっっっっっこう！！！！！！
People complain about this being repetitive but I love it.
It's just less words to learn when they do a live show in your city
Chills man....I got dem chills....
This song is brilliant, loved everything about it. Enter Shikari proving they are still one of the best bands around.
yay !... just found this today ...! today is gonna be good !
This is Gold! Definitely one of my favorite songs by shikari. Enter shikari is one of the best bands out there today.
