Their debut full-length release, “Earth Harvest”, showcases the bands extreme heaviness and technicality while still keeping the punters moshing with crushing breakdowns and slams. This relentless 5-piece (consisting of Kyson Shepherd on vocals, Hayden Foot and Ryan Guest on guitars, Byron Silich on bass and Ryan Atkin on drums) will be touring heavily throughout 2011 in support of the album.
In 2012 they released their second album, Abnegate.
Bloodlines
Signal The Firing Squad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like every minute is never enough.
Now that I'm all in, a one way ticket to the edge of the Earth.
To feel the weight of nothing, I wonder if anything will come of this.
We're all living for tomorrow, but are we killing today?
Tell me the future, look into these eyes.
And read these cards in a line.
Tell me what are we doing here?
Are we abandoned souls?
Dividing these common people, bring them a new King.
This saint is a sinner.
Pick up the pieces of those hollow vessels.
They are weathered and in disrepair.
My pride is withering away, we're all sinking.
What has this world become?
What have I done?
For every breath I took was never enough.
Tell me the future, look into these eyes,
Bring them a new King, this saint is a sinner.
Pick up the pieces of these hollow vessels.
They are weathered and in disrepair.
My pride is withering away, we're all sinking.
This is the path we've chosen.
We are creators and leaders of this generation.
You're not failing yourself, you are failing this whole generation.
We're all killing ourselves.
Have you ever felt like you can't breathe?
That every minute is never enough?
Now that I'm all in, a one way ticket to the edge of the Earth.
To feel the weight of nothing, I wonder if anything will come of this.
We're all living for tomorrow.
But we are killing today.
The lyrics of "Bloodlines" by Signal The Firing Squad encapsulate the feeling of suffocation and desperation that a lot of people experience in today's world. The song talks about the pressure that comes with living in a fast-paced world where we are constantly striving for success, but end up questioning the meaning of our existence. The line "Have you ever felt like you can't breathe?" express the feeling of being overwhelmed, and the desire to escape from everything.
The song also touches upon the idea of a better future and the role that we play in creating it. The question, "What are we doing here?" highlights the need for a clear purpose and direction in life. The line, "We're all killing ourselves" echoes the idea that we are all complicit in perpetuating the cycle of destruction and chaos that exists in the world.
Overall, "Bloodlines" is a call for introspection and a reminder to take responsibility for our actions and their impact on the world. It encourages listeners to break free from the rat race and to seek a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in their lives.
