With their colliding musical stylings, and experimental vocals, Akissforjersey doesn't seek to stand out of the crowd; they tower above it. In the same vain as such progressive artists as The Mars Volta, Akissforjersey pulls two completely different aspects of music together to make one complete genre of its own. The band's music lulls the listener into a carefree utopia one moment only to pull them to the ground with the brutal screams perfectly injected into their melodious songs.
The band announced they had signed to In Vogue records in 2013. They premiered a new song titled "War" off of their upcoming LP "New Bodies" in November 2013. The new album is set to release January 21st, 2014.

Akissforjersey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hollow out a hole and drag your legs through
I hear the singing of an insufficient worldly choir
waiting to sink their teeth into you.
Is anybody out there, is anybody out there.
Cause if failure stopped me
then I'd never let it stop me now
that's something that I pray.
Searching through a tunnel with a light
at the end of it,
listening to the voice resounds in my head.
As for you and not for you and me
it's time for us to believe, it's time for us
to believe
Now is our time for you and me,
it's time for us to believe [x3]
it's time for us.
We are filthy clean and I have nothing to say,
in regards to the organized mess that we've made.
Cause if failure stopped me then I'd never let it stop me now.
I'd humble myself to find your grace,
that's something that I pray.
Searching through a tunnel with a light
at the end of it, listening to the voice resounds in my head.
As for you and not for you and me, it's time for us to believe.
It's time for us to believe
Now is our time for you and me,
it's time for us to believe
The lyrics of Akissforjersey's song "Believe" describe a search for hope and meaning in an imperfect world. The opening lines "Faith in a shell of indecency, hollow out a hole and drag your legs through" suggest the difficulty of maintaining faith in a world that can seem distant and disengaged from a higher purpose. The lyrics go on to describe a sense of isolation and disconnection, with the lines "Is anybody out there, is anybody out there. Cause if failure stopped me then I'd never let it stop me now" painting a picture of an individual searching for meaning and connection amidst feelings of doubt and confusion.
Despite these challenges, the lyrics remain resolutely optimistic, with the singer seeking humility and grace even in the face of failure. The line "I'd humble myself to find your grace, that's something that I pray" suggests a willingness to actively seek out solutions and to maintain hope even during difficult times. The song ends with a call for action and a sense of renewed momentum, with the chorus of "Now is our time for you and me, it's time for us to believe" suggesting that even in times of uncertainty, there remains an opportunity to come together and find a sense of purpose and direction.
Line by Line Meaning
Faith in a shell of indecency,
Belief being trapped within corrupt and immoral deeds
hollow out a hole and drag your legs through
Living life with no motivation or hope, just going through the motions
I hear the singing of an insufficient worldly choir
The inadequate voices of those around, who lack true belief
waiting to sink their teeth into you.
Looking to bring you down and make you lose faith
Is anybody out there, is anybody out there.
Questioning if there is anyone to help and guide us
Cause if failure stopped me
If I let failure define me and stop me from trying
then I'd never let it stop me now
But I won't let it stop me anymore
I'd humble myself to find your grace,
I will seek a greater power to guide me
that's something that I pray.
It's something I hope for with all my heart
Searching through a tunnel with a light
Looking for hope and guidance in the darkness
at the end of it,
At the end of this struggle
listening to the voice resounds in my head.
Hearing a guiding voice, even in the midst of confusion
As for you and not for you and me
This message is for everyone, not just certain individuals
it's time for us to believe,
We need to have faith and trust in something greater
Now is our time for you and me,
This is the moment for us to make a change
it's time for us to believe [x3]
Repeated emphasis on the need for belief
We are filthy clean and I have nothing to say,
Despite our flaws and mistakes, we are still worthy of redemption
in regards to the organized mess that we've made.
Concerning the chaos and confusion we have created in our lives
it's time for us to believe.
Once again emphasizing the importance of belief and faith
