LIVE LIFE
Capture the Crown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To live your own life.
Do it standing on this darken ocean,
We are in this alone!
In this moment, we're untouchable.
Truth be told, this is our home.
We still circled the shadows, sifting through the water,
Feed on young and leave the old you can't be told
To give it up, to give it up, to give it up, to give it up!
You dumb fucks.
If you want to be the anchor to me, then I'll gladly search far!
For a bag of rocks to tie to your feet, drown you like the rat you are.
If the world is your oyster, then I'll do what I can, oh!
To drain the fucking ocean, live you high and dry on the sand.
Without a doubt, we're singled out.
They, they never said this would come easy,
Take me hand and just believe me,
Live your own life.
Yeah!
Is it a crime to say,
All I ever needed was something to hold onto?
Why was it frowned upon,
When I fond that something to get me through?
This hate was grafted by the trends you upkeep (trends you upkeep)
Well, go ba-ba-ba-back to the farm, you fucking sheep!
If you want to be the anchor to me, then I'll gladly search far!
For a bag of rocks to tie to your feet, drown you like the rat you are.
If the world is your oyster, then I'll do what I can!
To drain the fucking ocean, live you high and dry on the sand.
Without a doubt, we're singled out.
They, they never said this would come easy,
Take me hand and just believe me,
Live your own life.
We are one, but we are many.
We are one, but we are many.
We are one, but we are many.
We are equal, and for tonight, right here, right now,
We are all royalty.
"Live your own life."
I say it every fucking night!
"Live your own life."
I say it every single fucking night!

What happened to them? I loved them in high school nearly 10 years ago
@Defendry
They disbanded after the release of Lost Control in 2019. Along with the breakup, Jeff, the vocalist and the only remaining original member, hid the YouTube channel. Also over the years, from 2014 until the end of the band's existence, there were many member changes and beef with the main vocalist. Jeff, the vocalist, now has a daughter and a family life, it is not known if he will release something in the future, but sometimes he posts on his IG how he misses the touring life. This is a rough description of what happened.
