Evergreen Terrace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It can never escape me.
There can never be compromise.
Always evading stones.
You can never mistake me.
For someone who can't realize.
The fucking difference.
Between the night and day.
It will never get through your skull.
I feel it in my bones.
It can never escape me.
There can never be compromise.
You can do it all again.
But you won't take me alive.
I'll keep screaming.
Let go of this iron lung.
You know I'll keep breathing.
Let go. Let go.
The song Browbeaters Anonymous by Evergreen Terrace is a reflection on the singer's unbreakable will and determination. The use of "I feel it in my bones" suggests that the singer is deeply connected to their drive and that it's not just a passing feeling. They are certain of their ability and the path they have chosen, and there is no room for compromise. The line "You can never mistake me for someone who can't realize the fucking difference between the night and day" suggests that they are not easily swayed and have a clear sense of what is right and what is wrong. They are unwilling to compromise their values or beliefs in order to appease others.
The repetition of "Let go" at the end of the song serves as a reminder to the listener that they should release any negative thoughts, habits, or people that are holding them back. The line "Let go of this iron lung" suggests that the singer is trying to break free from the weight that is holding them down, and they refuse to stop breathing until they are free. The singer is not willing to be controlled or held back by anyone or anything, and they will keep fighting for their freedom.

Lol at the kids bitching because they've never heard of Evergreen Terrace. These guys have been around since the early 2000's that's why the singing is "shit" cause this was one of the bands that pioneered hardcore into popularity when the singing wasn't all about singing high and growling low. It was about the passion put into the lyrics and end product. These guys always bring both. Love the whole album guys!

It's funny how no one knows that this band has been around for longer than they've been into heavy music.

haha for sure! I've been listening to them for at least 10 years now. I saw them live several times when Buried Alive By Time was still a new album.
Andrew Jamison
Holy crap!!! I can't believe these guys are still around. I remember when "Cheney can't rift" came out
Christi Dombrowski
loved this band since the beginning &feel like a proud mom every time they put out an album. evergreen terrace doesn't get the credit they deserve.
René Gade
Exactly. This band is a nuclear bomb of intense vibrations. They reach far and they clean the auras. People who say Chaney can't sing just arent use to other styles as Atreyu with trumpets and country guitars like A7X, yo.
I'm not saying the other bands mentionned arent good. They are but they are polished 100 times so in the end.. I'm pretty sure it isnt what the band even wanted in the firts place. Why do you think they always end up on hiatus! :p
Long live to you Evergreen Terrace.
