Without Crutches
Float Face Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With faith in nothing
Come to this realization
Your faith is nothing
This world will crash & crumble
So sit & watch it
So often we've ignored it
You've been mislead
I'll wage this war
Swallow your blood before your pride
It never ends
This just does not concern you
Every time you fall
For all the lies
That are put in front of you
You sold yourself short
Get on to your fucking knees
Beg for your life
Beg for your life
There's no reason to look up this time
Beg for your fucking life
Fuck you
I believe in myself
No one
Is higher than me
You'll beg when you stand for nothing
Living your life in fear
You'll beg when you stand for nothing
I'll wage this war
So you realize
Show me
Your God I'd like to see
What he's made of
Show me
Your God the light has ceased
You're all fucked
What he's made of
I'll wage this war
Swallow your blood before your pride
It never ends
This just does not concern you
The lyrics of "Without Crutches" by Float Face Down criticizes the idea of blind faith and belief in something that does not exist. The song starts off by stating that seeking comfort in faith that lacks evidence is futile, and that one should come to the realization that their faith is nothing. The song also suggests that the world is unpredictable and could fall apart at any moment, making it essential to be aware of what is happening around us. The lyrics criticize those who blindly follow the people in power without questioning their actions, calling them mislead.
In the chorus of the song, the singer takes ownership of their beliefs and claims to believe in themselves. They criticize those who sell themselves short and fall for the lies put in front of them. The aggression in the song is amplified in the lines where he asks people to beg for their lives and suggests that their fears have driven their lives. The song concludes by calling people out for standing for nothing and challenges them to face reality and take ownership of their lives.
Interesting facts about the song include that it was released on August 27, 2013, and is a part of their album "Exiting Entropy." The album deals with the ideas of existentialism and nihilism. The band is known for playing a mix of deathcore and hardcore punk, and this song is no different. The band is based out of California and is known for their intense and energetic live performances. The song has over 74,000 views on YouTube and has received a lot of praise from the deathcore community.
