1) Lazarus began in 20… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least seven bands named Lazarus.
1) Lazarus began in 2001 as Trevor Montgomery's post-Tarentel solo project, a pilgrimage of either insanity or freedom - or both. 'Songs For an Unborn Sun' was his first release, a minimal and soulful collaboration with longtime friend Marty Anderson (Okay, Dilute). His second release, 'Like Trees We Grow up to be Satellites (The Backwards America)', punched through the whispering darkness into an orchestral declaration of strength, political upheaval, and hope. Recorded by Scott Solter (Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats), it was a playful and rich approach at expressing both failures and fortunes of life. Lazarus has now grown into a small ensemble, featuring Sacramento natives Kathryn Sechrist and Kelly Nyland, exloring overwhelmingly beautiful depths with dense layers of drums, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, glockenspiel, and Trevor's shamanistic, gospel-inspired vocals. Lazarus has become a brilliant, soulful, psychedelic experience of experimental and political grace. At last, this pilgrimage has found a solid road to freedom.
2) Lazarus is also a Detroit rapper whose debut album 'Chapter One: The Prince Who Would Be King' was released in 2007. Lazarus speaks on what he sees in his life in the realest, most creative and passionate way that it can be delivered: through wordplay, vocabulary, and vast amounts of emotion. Lazarus comes off as versatile in his range of rap styles, the way he shifts from calm to hard to lyrical, and then from slow-paced to fast.
3) Lazarus is also a Kenosha, Wisconsin based thrash metal band. They have since changed their name to LaZarus A.D. to avoid confusion. In late 2007 they unleashed their debut album 'The Onslaught.' THRASH OR DIE!

Lazarus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cannot bare this suffering
Won't accept what you can bring
It means nothing to me
With open arms everything to gain
Hateful glares my gifted pain
Utter bliss handed to you
You aint shit and you know its true
Walk the ground without a care
Digging deeper as I stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lies inside
I get drunk I get high
Blue collar worker till I die
Your money will not buy
The perseverance in my eye
Nailed to the ground to stay alive
Grasp my struggle to survive
Hand that feeds following you
You aint shit and you know its true
Walk the world without a care
Digging deeper as I stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lives inside
One day you will see your life is worth nothing
By then you'll realize its too late
And one day you'll find me I will be something
By then you'll realize its too late
Walk the world without a care
Digging deeper as I stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lives inside
The lyrics of Lazarus A.D.'s "American Dreams" express feelings of frustration and anger towards the current system of society and its values. The opening lines, "Screams fill the air, cannot bare this suffering" immediately set the tone of suffering and disillusionment. The singer rejects material wealth and dismisses the "hand that feeds" as insignificant. The lyrics go on to highlight the dichotomy between those who have everything and those who struggle to survive, encapsulated in lines such as "With open arms everything to gain, hateful glares my gifted pain."
The lyrics also express a sense of defiance and determination in the face of adversity. The lines "I get drunk, I get high, blue-collar worker 'til I die" illustrate a life of hardships and the singer's refusal to be broken by it. The song also highlights the selfishness and superficiality of society with the recurring line "Selfish whore personified, caring not what lives inside."
In the final verse, the song takes on a more ominous tone as the singer warns that one day the privileged will look back and regret not valuing the things that matter. The repetition of the phrase "By then you'll realize it's too late" emphasizes the sense of missed opportunities and regret.
Line by Line Meaning
Screams fill the air
The environment is filled with noise and despair
Cannot bare this suffering
The pain and misery is unbearable
Won't accept what you can bring
I refuse to take what you offer
It means nothing to me
Your offering is of no value to me
With open arms everything to gain
I am willing to embrace new opportunities for personal gain
Hateful glares my gifted pain
My suffering is visible and elicits negativity from others
Utter bliss handed to you
You have been given everything with ease and without appreciation
You aint shit and you know its true
You are insignificant and aware of it
Walk the ground without a care
Moving about carelessly
Digging deeper as I stare
I'm investigating deeper facts
Selfish whore personified
The person embodies selfish behavior
Caring not what lies inside
They are indifferent to the inner emotions of things or individuals
I get drunk I get high
In my unfortunate circumstances, I indulge to relieve my pain
Blue collar worker till I die
I will work hard till my death
Your money will not buy
Your wealth means nothing to me
The perseverance in my eye
I have a determination and commitment in my gaze
Nailed to the ground to stay alive
I'm rooted to this land, fighting to survive
Grasp my struggle to survive
Understand my resilience to keep living
Hand that feeds following you
Those supporting you are only doing it for their own benefit
Walk the world without a care
Moving about in the world without concern
Digging deeper as I stare
Searching for truth through observation
Selfish whore personified
A person who embodies selfishness
Caring not what lives inside
They are ignorant of inner thoughts and emotions
One day you will see your life is worth nothing
Eventually, you will realize your life is meaningless
By then you'll realize its too late
You will be unable to remedy the situation
And one day you'll find me I will be something
One day you'll see me achieve success
By then you'll realize its too late
You will have missed the opportunity to recognize my accomplishments
