Influences include Red, Coldplay, Alice in Chains, Cold, and Deftones.

About us: We’re a 2-man band/studio project, 100% self-produced – we write, compose, perform, record, mix, and master all elements of our music. Control freaks? Yes. Our story began 15 years earlier in the high-school metal band we formed together. We tirelessly practiced and gigged and had visions of rock stardom. Soon after high school ended, careers and families slowly took over, and by our early 20’s we had let our musical aspirations fade into the background. But we never lost touch, never stopped writing, and after 10 years we finally decided to stop reminiscing and start recording an album, “Burn the Rez”, released in 2014.

Anymore
Burn the Rez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk away and don't look back now,
just let go of crying out loud
To change his life, know it was too late anyway
Try to change his mind, no it was too late anyway

Your setting sun lives inside you now,
bright as any day before
From his dawn he'd made you warm,

shown you the colors of your world
Now forever blaze up high inside old memories' skies, no sunrise anymore

Now it plays over and over,
don't relive those darkest hours
Silent night brings no answers anyway,
tear it inside out, there's no answer anyway

Your setting sun lives inside you now,
bright as any day before
From his dawn he'd made you warm,
shown you the colors of your world
Now forever blaze up high inside old memories' skies, no sunrise anymore

Just remember new days

Your setting sun lives inside you now,
bright as any day before
From his dawn he'd made you warm,

shown you the colors of your world
Now forever blaze up high inside old memories' skies, no sunrise anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Anymore" by Burn the Rez seem to describe a painful break-up or loss of some kind. The opening lines, "Walk away and don't look back now, just let go of crying out loud," suggest that the singer is urging someone to move on and stop dwelling on the past. They also seem to acknowledge that the person they're speaking to may have tried to change things, but it was ultimately too late.

The second verse is more abstract, but seems to describe a sense of loss and nostalgia. The "setting sun" could be a metaphor for a relationship or a person who brought light and warmth into the singer's life. The line "shown you the colors of your world" implies that this person broadened the singer's horizons in some way. However, the final line of the verse, "no sunrise anymore," suggests that this positive influence is gone, and the singer is left in a state of darkness or depression.

The chorus, with its repeated lines about the "setting sun" and the colors of the world, reinforces this sense of loss and longing. The final lines, "Just remember new days," suggest that despite the pain of the past, the singer is still encouraging someone to look forward and find hope in the future.

Overall, "Anymore" is a poignant, melancholy song that captures the feelings of grief and regret that can come with the end of a relationship.
