Info:
With technical and time-bending influences, a melodic wall of sound and some hardcore bluster, this six-piece band has created something new; a melange of classic sounds combining to form a harmony-laden and heavy sound that won't soon be forgotten.
This band serves as a reminder of all our aspirations. As men and women, we are merely one human amidst the billions that populate the Earth. And yet, a select few are recalled centuries past their deaths. Regardless of our beliefs, our social situation or our upbringings, we create our own destiny. We have the power to rise from the ashes of our world and leave a legacy that will be remembered Amongst Heroes.
Amongst Heroes is a metalcore band from Montreal, QC. Apart from their fast pace and crushing breakdowns, they manage to create a sound of their own with a collaborative writing team and through the influences of genres ranging from melodic hardcore to R&B. With a blazing rhythm section, melodic yet punishing guitar work, and two passionate vocalists, Amongst Heroes is striving to earn its place in a vibrant scene.

Amongst Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where did you go? Why did you leave?
All these questions surround me.
Where did you go? Why did you leave?
All these questions surrounding me.
We were on the same road but your path has gone astray.
I'm reaching for a sign,
Some way to chart the absence of light
That you left when you went away.
To keep from coming undone, I need to know
Where I'll go when I'm gone.
Losing my head,
Uncertainty plagues me.
It breaks me down until I cannot breathe.
Left alone to dwell in my thoughts,
My mind is an ocean where I sink just like a rock.
You took a trip to Neverland, and never landed at home.
You are with the lost boys.
Now I know that the greatest curse is that you won't grow old.
This conjecture, my own surmise
Could lead me to my own demise.
Trying to find the light in every day
Without a guiding hand leading the way.
Where's my so called certainty
When I'm still reaching for a sign?
Some way to chart the absence of light
That you left when you went away
To keep from coming undone, I need to know
Where I'll go when I'm gone.
Somehow I still feel your presence,
Your essence will not let me go.
You've become the light at the end of my tunnel.
You know I'm always thinking about you
And oh, I swear in every waking moment,
I'll see you take flight.
In this uncertainty one thing seems clear to me.
That when we go, where we go
We will be in the light.
And in the end, no matter where you go
In my heart is where you call home.
No matter where you go, in my mind is where you call home.
In my heart, in my mind,
Will always be your home
(You've become the light)
In my heart
(At the end of my tunnel)
In my mind
(You've become the light)
You will always have a place
(At the end of my tunnel)
You are home.
The song "Glow" by Amongst Heroes is an emotional and poignant exploration of the aftermath of someone leaving without a clear explanation. The first verse immediately sets the tone of the song, with the repetition of "Where did you go?" expressing the confusion and aching loss felt by the person left behind. The use of questions throughout the song emphasizes the uncertainty and lack of closure that can arise when a relationship ends abruptly. The second verse suggests that the two had been on the same path at one point, but the choice to go a different way led to a bitter resentment towards that "fork in the road."
Throughout the song, the singer struggles to come to terms with the fact that the other person is gone. The search for a "sign" or "light" to guide them through the darkness is a metaphor for the need for closure or understanding. The line "To keep from coming undone, I need to know where I'll go when I'm gone" suggests a fear of mortality and uncertainty about what happens after we die. The last verse is the most touching part of the song. The singer admits that they will never truly let go of the person who left, but that they will always have a home in their heart and mind. The use of the phrase "you've become the light at the end of my tunnel" indicates that even in the darkness, there is something to cling to.

I dig everything but I really love the acoustic stuff and singing parts better because you can feel more range in talent. However I do like the vocal relief between screams, A+.
