Night Terrors
Currents Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burn it down and forget what I would try to hide so incessantly but I just can't find release
For all the pain in my heart and all the ache it causes me while I bleed out for the people who've forgotten me.
It's time to say what rests on my mind, ever since I fell to pieces, I've never felt so alive
Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun, you try to get to safety, but you're losing light.
This is a force I know I can't fight, cause even getting knocked out couldn't make me sleep tonight

I hope you scream when you hear my name.
There's no place on this earth that you can escape.
I hope you're lost and you never find peace.
This is the weight of the world and I won't, I'll never let this crash on me
Eternal suffering awaits
You're just another soul to steal
Just because I cannot breathe, doesn't mean I can't feel
Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun, you get to safety, but you're losing light.
So you try not to make a sound, no one's saving you now
We'll burn it to the ground
We'll fucking burn it down.
Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house
Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down.
Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house.
Burn
It's the only way, burn it down and hope for peace.
If i ignite it, maybe death will finally save me the pain of being all alone, of lessons never learned, and of the constant burning pain of always chasing things I don't deserve.
Don't go looking when you know what's there.
I promise there's no way to prepare
But still I wait to fix this other part of me.
And there's no way that I can breathe without release.
Please, let me sleep
I'm still haunted in my dreams and everything I've ever come to love has left me.
Cause not a thing in this world is what it seems.
I beg you to find me
I'm haunted by the screaming in the night.
A fear that drives me to resent my name.
I put these walls to shame.
I toss and turn but there's no peace of mind.
There's no diffusing this eternal hate.
We'll burn it down in flames.
Ignite!
We'll fucking burn it down.
Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house




Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down.
Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house

Crazy to think that this song that I randomly found would lead me to be higly anticipating their first LP. And that this LP would make them my favourite band for now 3 years. They are now releasing their second soon, with an EP in between.
Already 3 years. Time Flies.

It's crazy because it is not even their best song. I've been blown away the first time I heard it, but in comparison to what they made on the LP and the EP, this one feels like an ok song by them.
This is because they are so good that when it feels strange when a song isn't a 10/10 but just a 9,5/10.

I love every member, they all bring something. Brian Wille, obviously, with those vocals that just gets better and better, with insane power and versatility. Chris Wiseman, which is behind Currents and Shadow Of Intent, and who will surely became one of the most influent guitarist and songwriter in modern metal. Matt Young, who came after this Lp, but who have so much power and consistency in his playing, with a lot of groove and sick pattern that just blow me up as a drummer. Ryan Castaldi, bringing the chugs and those smashing rythmics. and either Christian Pulgarin or Dee Cronkite who brings the lows and smash my ears with those good tones.
Because they also made the good choice in terms of sounds, with Buster and now Nolly, they always end up with phenomenal, massive and perfectly suited sound for their records.

Such an awesome band. So lucky to be able to witness their craft.

Burn it down and forget
What I would try to hide so incessantly, but I just can’t find release
For all the pain in my heart and the ache it causes me while I bleed
Out for the people who’ve forgotten me
It’s time to say what rests on my mind
Ever since I fell to pieces, I’ve never felt so alive

Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun
You try to get to safety, but you’re losing light

This is a force you know I can’t fight
'Cause even getting knocked out couldn’t make me sleep tonight

I hope you scream when you hear my name
There’s no place on this earth that you can escape
I hope you’re lost and you never find peace
This is the weight of the world and I won’t
I’ll never let this crash on me

Eternal suffering awaits
You’re just another soul to steal
Just because I cannot breathe
Doesn’t mean I can’t feel

Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun
You try to get to safety, but you’re losing light
So you try not to make a sound, no one’s saving you now

We’ll burn it to the ground
We’ll fucking burn it down
Don’t leave a trace of evil left in this house
Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down
Don’t leave a trace of evil left in this house

Burn

It’s the only way, burn it down and hope for peace
If I ignite it, maybe death will finally save me
The pain of being all alone, of lessons never learned
And of constant burning pain of always chasing things I don’t deserve
Don’t go looking when you know what’s there
I promise there’s no way to prepare

But still I wait
To fix this other part of me
But there’s no way that I can breathe without release
Please, let me sleep
(I was never the same)
I’m still haunted in my dreams
And everything I’ve ever come to love has left me
(You always tried to take the light of me)
'Cause not a thing in this world is what it seems
(I was never the same)
(I wanna know why you don't want me)

I beg you to find me
I’m haunted by the screaming in the night
A fear that drives me to resent my name
I put these walls to shame
I toss and turn but there’s no peace of mind
There’s no diffusing this eternal hate
We’ll burn it down in flames

Ignite, we’ll fucking burn it down
Don’t leave a trace of evil left in this house
Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down
Don’t leave a trace of evil left in this house
