Call it restlessnes… Read Full Bio ↴The band formerly known as This Routine Is Hell.
Call it restlessness, call it fear, call it being out of step or call it being stubborn; This Routine is Hell has been the medium through which these, what some would call “defects” have been ruthlessly transformed into an uncompromising “NO”.
Existing somewhere between today’s obsolete definitions of hardcore and punk, it’s hard to tell exactly what we are; but more important to us is why we’re here. Where self-doubt has laid us to rest, creativity must awaken us. Where sadness only saddens more, the power of will and love must empower us.

Faze Me
Swain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's purpose in a life full of misery?
What's meaning if it does no good?
What's being an adult without your childhood?
What's money if you're always bored?
What good is a trip to what's already explored?
What's a band if you're not impressed?
If it doesn't scare you, you're not doing it right
If it doesn't faze you, you're doing nothing at all
What's sex if it isn't rough?
What's a game if you're not calling a bluff?
What's a law if it isn't good?
What are ethics if they're not understood?
What's better than to break the chains?
Break it down until nothing remains
"What are the youth if they're not rebelling?"
We're not buying what you're selling
If it doesn't scare you, you're not doing it right
If it doesn't faze you, you're doing nothing at all
I am now
And I wanna be here; I wanna be scared again
Thrill me, faze me, kill my blues
And I wanna feel it; I wanna be nervous again
Swain's song "Faze Me" tackles the question of what makes life worth living, and what it means to truly live. The lyrics explore the idea that experiencing fear and discomfort are essential components of a fulfilling life. Swain asks a series of philosophical questions, such as "what's purpose in a life full of misery?" and "what's meaning if it does no good?" The song challenges the idea that a comfortable, safe life is the most desirable one.
Throughout the song, Swain emphasizes that taking risks and facing challenges are integral parts of personal growth, and ultimately lead to a richer, more fulfilling life. The refrain, "if it doesn't scare you, you're not doing it right / if it doesn't faze you, you're doing nothing at all," emphasizes this idea. Swain suggests that only by confronting our fears and pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zones can we truly live.
The song also touches on themes of rebellion and breaking free from societal norms. Swain asks "what are the youth if they're not rebelling?" and declares "we're not buying what you're selling." The song seems to advocate for individuality, free thinking, and the rejection of conformity.
Overall, "Faze Me" is a thought-provoking reflection on what it means to live a full and meaningful life, and encourages listeners to embrace discomfort and challenge as a means of personal growth.

I am now
I am living in the present moment.
And I wanna be here; I wanna be scared again
I want to be present in the moment and feel scared again, as it's a reminder that I'm alive.
Thrill me, faze me, kill my blues
Do something exciting, challenge me, and get rid of my sadness and boredom.
And I wanna feel it; I wanna be nervous again
I want to feel nervous and anxious again, as it's a reminder that I'm alive.

Por que o título tá em brasileiro?
@ErimlRGG
is not portuguese, Faze means scare on english too. It just happens that the title means the same on english and portuguese. Sorry I don't reply in portuguese, I suck at it.
