Senses Fail (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choose the passion you awoke in me
The fire alive, the courage to see
An unexamined life isn't worth living
Trust what's in your heart and keep searching
You set me, you set me free
Time moves only when I have your hand in mine
In mine
The sky burns brighter when I look into your eyes
Your eyes
I can't let go
Your presence, the beauty you hold
It carries my soul, carries my soul
I find safety in your bones
Your bones
You are my strength, you are my breath
You are the life that precedes death
You set me, you set me free
Time moves only when I have your hand in mine
In mine
The sky burns brighter when I look into your eyes
Your eyes
Our love will burn until the end of time
Live, love, learn
Live, love, learn
Bury me in
Bury me in
Bury me in
Bury me in this love
Time moves only when I have your hand in mine
In mine
The sky burns brighter when I look into your eyes
Your eyes
Our love will burn until the end of time
Live, love, learn
Live, love, learn

New Senses Fail wrecks the fuck out of their old shit. This is a genuine case of the golden touch -- No matter what style they're doing, Senses Fail are gods amongst musicians. This album is a testament to their versatility and ability to produce high quality content irrespective of their genre. Easily on par with any band you can name.
@TheGhostoftheMargins
I remember being blown away when I looked these guys up after years of not listening to them. I only ever listened to their first album when I was much younger and wasn't really expecting to get musically punched in the face when I clicked on one of their new songs, loved it though.
@CileMcdonald
Love this song, along with all of their other 90+ songs. Renacer is probably my favourite album. This is my absolute favourite band.
@mikejamrozy7243
This album is so heavy and it is so positive! Usually it's the contrast, that dread is an outlet...get it out and positivity will follow. This album punches you with love. It's really unprecedented how uplifting it is and so brutal. He was a man who found love and expressed it epically. I don't agree with him politically, but this man means a lot to me

Buddy has some of the most beautiful lyrics that I have ever seen, and the screaming (blended in with the melodies) displays passion in his attitude toward the lyrics. It is really beautiful music if you follow along with the lyrics.
@blouistu101
The amount of leading tones in this album is astonishingly beautiful. Every song I hear there is one held out for an extended time in the main melody. It's amazing

Senses fail with a breakdown. I never thought I'd see the day.
@thatguyjosh2322
They had breakdowns before...."all the best cowboys have daddy issues", "battle hymn" "the fire"...
