Upon releasing "Turn It Around" on Facedown Records in 2003, Comeback Kid began touring full-time, covering most of North America as well as Europe. They also appeared on many high profile hardcore festivals like Hellfest and Posi Numbers festival. Following the touring for "Turn It Around", Comeback Kid entered the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado to begin recording their sophomore full length.
In February 2005 Comeback Kid released "Wake the Dead", their first for Victory Records. After some long tours, vocalist Scott Wade left the band. Neufeld became the band's vocalist, and they began recording their third album "Broadcasting". The release of "Broadcasting" was followed by more steady touring, culminating with a summer long tour supporting Rise Against in North America, and their first appearance on the "Never Say Die" tour in Europe with Parkway Drive. By the end of 2007 the band was to take a short hiatus. At this time bass player Kevin Call left the band on good terms, issuing a statement regarding leaving Comeback Kid.
Call was replaced by Matt Keil who had played in Minneapolis area bands with Hjelmberg. Two more years of touring followed, with the band visiting South East Asia and Latin America for the first times.
In 2008 a CD / DVD was released called "Through the Noise" which is a line from the song "Industry Standards" off of "Broadcasting..." . The DVD is a documentary of the first 6 years of Comeback Kid. The CD is a live recording of a show in Leipzig, Germany filmed in fall 2007. A release tour in Canada followed, named the "Through the Noise Tour." It featured Bane, Misery Signals, Shai Hulud, Grave Maker, and Outbreak. While on this tour Gravemaker suffered a van accident with Neufeld in the vehicle, which inspired the song "G.M. Vincent and I" off 2010's "Symptoms + Cures".
After two years of international touring, the band spent much of 2010 writing and recording their fourth studio album, "Symptoms + Cures" which was released in Canada by Distort Entertainment and internationally by Victory Records. Two more installments of the "Through the Noise" tour followed in North America and Europe.
In early 2012 guitarist Casey Hjelmberg announced he would be leaving the band. Stu Ross of Misery Signals/Living with Lions will assume guitar duties.
Neufeld confirmed that the band is writing new material this moment, but the progress is quite delayed as the band has many touring plans at the moment. They're also planning a 10th Anniversary Show for the release of their first full-length record "Turn It Around", with their former vocalist Scott Wade in 2013.
On September 21, 2013, Comeback Kid stated on their Facebook page they would have started recording a new full-length album. Die Knowing, the band's fifth studio album, was released on March 4, 2014, through Victory Records.
On May 13, 2014, drummer and founding member Kyle Profeta announced his departure from the band, to focus on his culinary skills in South Africa.

Losing Sleep
Comeback Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always the same with it, I can't stop you
Well maybe it's true for you, but I'm not seeing it
You wanna live with it, but I've got no room
Well maybe it's true for you, and I won't stop you
Give me some space to breathe, 'cause I've got no room
Well maybe it's true for you, and I can't stop you
I've gotta be reasonable
But it's all become too predictable
I'm letting it ride, but I'm not losing sleep
This future is not up to you
Rise up for the innocent
Tried it on but it didn't fit
Guard down, there's a subtle flame
Subtle moment to have your say
Lining up opposite of me
What a moment of clarity
A shining moment to say…
For what? I know, so what!
I'm not about it, you can have it
I've gotta be reasonable
But it's all become too predictable
I'm letting it ride, but I'm not losing sleep
This future is not up to you
I'm not losing sleep
Rise up for the innocent
Tried it on but it didn't fit
Guard down, there's a subtle flame
Subtle moment to have your say.
The lyrics to Comeback Kid's song "Losing Sleep" seem to be about a person trying to break away from a toxic relationship. The first verse addresses the fact that the other person always seems to make the same mistakes and is determined to keep living with those mistakes. The main speaker, however, doesn't have any room left to deal with it. They're asking for space and some breathing room to try and move on from the situation. This ties into the overall theme of the song, which is about letting go of the past and moving forward.
The chorus is essentially the main speaker acknowledging that they need to be reasonable and not let their emotions get the best of them. They don't want the other person to have any more control over their life, but they're not going to let it consume them either. The repetition of "I'm not losing sleep" suggests that the singer is trying to be strong, but it's not without effort.
The second verse seems to address the aftermath of the failed relationship. The singer references trying to fit into a new life without the other person, but it doesn't seem to be working out. They have a moment of clarity that leads to the realization that they no longer want to be involved in the situation. The repetition of "I'm not about it" reinforces the singer's resolve to move on.
Overall, the song is a testament to the strength and resilience it takes to break away from someone who continues to cause harm. The repetition of certain phrases throughout the song reinforces this idea that the singer is trying to convince themselves of their own strength and independence.
Line by Line Meaning
You told me once, back at it again
You've repeated your behavior and actions, as you've told me before
Always the same with it, I can't stop you
You continue to do the same things repeatedly, and I am powerless to prevent it
Well maybe it's true for you, but I'm not seeing it
It may be true from your perspective, but I don't share your viewpoint
You wanna live with it, but I've got no room
You want to continue with your behavior, but I cannot accommodate it
Give me some space to breathe, 'cause I've got no room
I need some space and distance because I cannot coexist with your actions
Give me some space to breathe, 'cause I can't rest here with you
I need some distance between us as I cannot find peace or rest with you
I've gotta be reasonable
I need to maintain my level-headedness
But it's all become too predictable
Your actions and behavior have become easy to anticipate and expect
I'm letting it ride, but I'm not losing sleep
I am allowing things to play out on their own, but I am not losing any sleep over it
This future is not up to you
You do not have any say or control over what will happen in the future
Rise up for the innocent
Stand up for those who are undeserving of what is happening to them
Tried it on but it didn't fit
You attempted to take control, but it didn't work out for you
Guard down, there's a subtle flame
Be cautious and aware, as there is a small spark of something that could escalate
Subtle moment to have your say
A small window of opportunity to express your thoughts or opinions
Lining up opposite of me
You are positioned directly against me, in opposition
What a moment of clarity
It is a moment of realization and understanding
A shining moment to say…
An opportunity to speak up or make a statement in a positive light
For what? I know, so what!
What's the point? I am aware of what's going on, but it doesn't really matter
I'm not about it, you can have it
I am not interested or involved in it, so you can take charge
I'm not losing sleep
I am not worried or bothered by the situation

You told me once, back at it again always the same with it, I can’t stop you
Well maybe it’s true for you, but I’m not seeing it. You wanna live with it, but I’ve got no room
Well maybe it’s true for you, and I won’t stop you
Give me some space to breathe, ’cause I’ve got no room
Well maybe it’s true for you, and I can’t stop you
Give me some space to breathe, ’cause I can’t rest here with you
I’ve gotta be reasonable but it’s all become too predictable
I’m letting it ride, but I’m not losing sleep. This future is not up to you
Rise up for the innocent. Tried it on but it didn’t fit
Guard down, there’s a subtle flame .Subtle moment to have your say
Lining up opposite of me. What a moment of clarity, a shining moment to say…For what?
I know, so what!
I’m not about it, you can have it
I’ve gotta be reasonable but it’s all become too predictable
I’m letting it ride, but I’m not losing sleep. This future is not up to you
I’m not losing sleep
Rise up for the innocent. Tried it on but it didn’t fit
Guard down, there’s a subtle flame. Subtle moment to have your say
