Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, TEAR OUT THE HEART formed in 2011 and is comprised of lead vocalist, Tyler Konersman, Isaac Etter on bass/clean vocals, guitarists Josh Spohr and Matthieu Murphy and Matt Epstein on drums. The inception of the band was founded on the principle that there are to be no “weak links” in the group. The band unanimously agreed that when this lineup had gotten together in one room it was instant energy and everything just clicked. From that day on the rest was history.
Highly charged and powerful live shows are the best way to see TEAR OUT THE HEART communicate their message to fans. Konersman’s realist and often intense lyrics tie everything together creating a unique metal experience unlike any other. Malicious guitar riffs and monstrous breakdowns are all evidently present within their sound. Theirmusic can be compared to the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men and As I Lay Dying.
Profoundly ambitious and equally talented, TEAR OUT THE HEART, proudly released Violence, their forthcoming album on March 19th. Even before its release, singles from the album were streamed and listened to over 67,000 times, proving their passion for playing is matched tenfold by the quality of their performance. Called “aggressive and explosive” by Outburn Magazine and “heavy as hell” by Big Cheese Magazine, Violence embodies what TEAR OUT THE HEART is all about – delivering dynamic tracks capable of stopping you in your tracks.
TEAR OUT THE HEART is well on their way to the top of the metalcore pack. Stay tuned!

Closure
Tear Out the Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than time on my hands
No matter how hard I try
I can't forgive, I can't forget
What's done is done
One grave with more to come
What's done is done
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes
To cut a long story short
Slit your throat and bleed yourself dry
At least I could rest easy knowing
It won't snow where you're going
What's done is done
One grave with more to come
What's done is done
Nevermore, nevermore
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes
There's nothing I'd like more
Than to see you squirm
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes
Coffin eyes
We're all born with coffin eyes
The song "Closure" by Tear Out the Heart touches on themes of regret, revenge, and the inability to move on from past traumas. The singer of the song seems to be haunted by events of the past that they can neither forgive nor forget. The lyrics "Another night well spent with more blood/ Than time on my hands" suggest a history of violence or self-harm.
The repeated refrain of "Bury us alive/ We're six feet deep/ And dying to live tonight/ We can't see the light/ When we're all born with coffin eyes" paints a picture of being trapped in a burial site with no escape. The metaphor of being "born with coffin eyes" implies a sense of hopelessness or fatalism, as if the singer feels doomed to be buried alive.
The mood of the song is bleak and angry, with a sense of unresolved tension building throughout. The final line, "There's nothing I'd like more/ Than to see you squirm," suggests a desire for revenge or justice against someone who has wronged the singer in the past.
Overall, "Closure" is a powerful song with a hauntingly beautiful melody and raw emotion that will resonate with anyone who has experienced trauma, loss, or regret.
Line by Line Meaning
Another night well spent with more blood
Than time on my hands
I have spent yet another night indulging in violence, leaving me with more of the crimson fluid than any free time to myself.
No matter how hard I try
I can't forgive, I can't forget
Though I have attempted to, I am unable to let go of the past and move on.
What's done is done
One grave with more to come
What's done is done
Nevermore, nevermore
What has been done cannot be undone, and with each violent act, comes yet another grave. I cannot change what has already happened and there will be no more opportunities to do so.
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes
We desire to live life to the fullest, but instead, we feel buried alive and trapped in the darkness of our own existence. We believe that we were all born with a preconceived notion that we are already doomed to fail.
To cut a long story short
Slit your throat and bleed yourself dry
At least I could rest easy knowing
It won't snow where you're going
I'll spare you the details, just end it swiftly. I'll be satisfied knowing you'll meet your end and avoid future suffering.
There's nothing I'd like more
Than to see you squirm
I derive pleasure from watching you endure pain and agony.
Coffin eyes
We're all born with coffin eyes
We all possess a pessimistic view of our place in the world, and a feeling of impending doom that we can't avoid.
