Formed in February 1996 by Rob Cullin (Vocals & Lyrics) and Chris Benetos (Bass & Vocals), Everybody Gets Hurt recorded and released their self-titled demo in 1997, as well as three split 7" releases, the first one with Billy Club Sandwich that same year. The second 7" was released in 1999 with Strong Intention and the third in 2000 with Cold Front. EGH also featured on various compilations over the years: Rise Up, Bad Dudes, The Spirit Lives On "Raybeez Tribute", Hardcore 2000, Nine Eleven and in 2005 The Brotherhood Split with Settle the Score and TJ Maxx. EGH recorded and released their first full length CD in 2001, self-produced and self-distributed "The Dark Seeds of Man". It's has been a long hard road since then losing tons of members along the way and touring the world. In 2002 Tom Murphy (Drums) joined the band hitting the drums like a maniac and in 2005 Greg Heyword (Guitar) joined EGH again and battled forward with us. Now another chapter is about to take place as Everybody Gets Hurt releases their second full length CD "It is what it is...."(Born to lose, live to win). Make sure to check out some tracks in the media section of the website - the album is available now from the webstore. Thanks for your support - One Scene, One Family, United.
Weightless
Everybody Gets Hurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you trade it all and come behind
And if you could , and if you would
What do you think I'll find ?
If you came behind , Behind these enemy lines
I'm trapped behind these enemy lines
Built to save my weathered mind
If it's Love from the heart you can never enslave it
As with the water on the Earth , you erode away my Patience
In the eyes of the Lord , I'm his sweet angel
Heavens are ripped and torn Asunder
Demons of the Earth cry like thunder
Like a vision of the past been rediscovered
Angel on mercy grant me ..............
All my burden and all their weight
Could I pass them off to you , Please come behind
Come with all your Love and all your soul
Cause you just might die , from inside
If you come behind , Behind these enemy lines
I'm trapped behind these enemie lines
I built to save my weathered mind
The song "Weightless" by Everybody Gets Hurt speaks about the costs of living in a hard world and the possibility of finding serenity through love. The song opens by questioning if someone would be willing to trade everything and come behind enemy lines to find out what is behind them. The singer admits they are trapped behind those lines, and their mind has been weathered. They long for someone to share the weight of their burden, which they refer to as "all their weight."
The lyrics also touch on the themes of love, freedom, and determination. They say that love can never be recreated or enslaved but can erode away patience like water on earth. The song also mentions the omnipresence of God, who can aid us in times of trouble. Heaven is described as torn asunder while demons from earth cry like thunder. Ultimately, the question of whether someone is willing to face the potential danger of enemy lines to find peace and help carry the burden is asked again.
