Deadweight
Belmont Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dead Weight
I'm only losing ground
By running all around with your
Dead Weight

I keep wasting so much of my own time
Searching for words that I can't find
Dead Weight

Take it back
Take it back
Taking back all of the things that I regret
Losing Track
Facing Facts
Remembering the pain you left
That I just can't accept

And I can't help myself
I'm burning all these bridges down again
I keep on running back
No matter what I do I'm stuck with this

Dead Weight
I'm only losing ground
By running all around with your
Dead Weight

I keep wasting so much of my own time
Searching for words that I can't find

Dead Weight

I understood that one day
All of the pieces would fall in place
I never knew much different
But I guess time will
leave all things to decay

I couldn't myself
I burnt my bridges down again
I'll keep on running back
No matter what I do I'm stuck with this

Dead Weight
I'm only losing ground
By running all around with your
Dead Weight

I keep wasting so much of my own time
Searching for words that I can't find

This band will be big. I mean, “leaders - of - the - underground - type” big. Can’t wait to see where their career will go.

@wespapes2054

It's so cool to see so many people fall in love with this band. They're seriously some of the nicest dudes I've ever met, and they make kickass tunes.

@Lucyyfer999

every single song that they take out is fantastic , always with so much energy and straight to the soul

@camdenwyeth316

Love the majestic, video game esq Intro, and then when the song kicks in they use that guitar effect, typically reserved for brutal breakdowns, on an upbeat poppy chorus. These guys know how to think outside the box.

@kaibrooks2309

This EP is gonna be so fuckin good holy shit, so refreshing to have such an interesting band in the genre. Their sound is unmatched.

@DecayLegacy

Belmont will always be one of my favorite bands. Dudes are just too good.

@ad0492

Damn!! This is the first song I heard by them. Wasn’t expecting something so fresh heavy and melodic. This is top tier. They’ll be really huge soon.. I wish them all the good luck

@predwards8941

Ankit Dadoch your in for a treat bud

@michael_epp

Philbo baggins soon my guy, I’ve been sayin it for years as well

@johnselwocki3996

I too, have been saying it for years, since I first heard them in 2016. With them releasing stuff that is both this experimental and still so close to their roots, I still have much hope. Especially considering how the recordings keep getting cleaner and they are still young and growing as a band!
