During the 1990s, many nu metal groups took influence from the hardcore scene, and metalcore bands including Integrity, Norma Jean and Bury Your Dead embraced elements of nu metal at varying points in their careers. In the 2000s, deathcore bands like Suicide Silence, Emmure and Whitechapel took influence from nu metal, which led to the first wave of nu metalcore in the 2010s. In 2013, genre defining works such as Bring Me the Horizon's Sempiternal, My Ticket Home's Strangers Only and Sworn In's the Death Card were released. By 2016, the formations of Cane Hill, Ocean Grove and Issues had led to a solidified first wave. A second strain of the genre, originating from the hardcore scene, soon emerged with Code Orange's Forever (2017), Vein.fm's Errorzone (2018) and Harm's Way's Posthuman (2018). In the 2020s, the genre continued to gain traction, with a new wave of groups including Loathe, Tetrarch and Tallah.
Lost in a Wave
LANDMVRKS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a feeling I know
All my senses are heightened to the point where I can't move at all
I try to scream but there is no one here
I tell myself that's irrational
Whatever I do it gets the best of me
I can feel the waves crashing down on me
All these words are useless, I bet you won't understand
I'm just trying to hide my fears 'cause I'm afraid to understand
I've been thinking way too much
I've been searching for a place to bury myself
I'm lost in a wave
It controls my feelings and I can't help it
I'm falling away
If I control my fears, would I still feel the pain?
I've been thinking too much
I see the rain pouring down the river
My brain is trying to trick me
I'm just talking to myself but I can't hear anything
My face is on the concrete
It's about to take control and I just cannot compete
My brain is trying to trick me
I'm just talking to myself but I can't hear anything
My face is on the concrete
It's about to take control and I just cannot compete
I know what the fuck it's up
See the face of misery
I try to scream but there is no one here
I'm lost in a wave
It controls my feelings and I can't help it
I'm falling away
If I control my fears, would I still feel the pain?

Please explain to me why you guys sing and scream in English but dont speak English behind the scenes from what I've seen? Just wondering. Eskimo callboy and Annisokay do the same thing. It's so strange.
