1. In early 2000's from the ashes of such notable Long Island punk bands Explosivo!, Splurge, and The Bones; The Devil Himself came together to write loud, in your face melodic punk. They self released a ep before dissolving and eventually morphing into Small Arms Dealer
b] is a group of four hugely talented musicians: Dave Christensen (lead vocals/guitar), Dan Burnham (guitars/vocals), Shane Hunington (bass) and Jason Goldberg (drums), whose music not only pushes the bounds of their own personal experiences, but leaves the listener no choice but to do the same. Formed in 2006 in Santa Cruz, California, the quad quickly began penning tunes of love, loathing and fear, performing them to awe and accolades from local and regional audiences. The band plays heavy, deep melodies, with vocals, and a backbeat that create an unparalleled grungy, metallic sound, mirroring and mimicking our deepest thoughts, fears and secrets, as it glides along more than a few of the nine levels of darkness and punishment. Their eponymous offering, 'Pushing the Panic Button', was merely a foray around the edges of the group's intensely personal, almost self-deprecating emotion. tDH's second album, 'The Way Souls Sway', is a power-driven, one way ticket to the next level, with a rawness and intensity that is like a whipping you delight in….and then return for more.
Weight of the World
The Devil Himself Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen so many faces
Who are grieving the same way
Does it ever get better?
I still miss you just the same
I'd give anything just to bring you back for one more day
Understand and give me the key to become a better man
I hope that one day we can finally meet again,
Please help me find closure, give me peace in the end
You helped me lift all the weight Of The World
I won't forget your face or the mark you surely made
Never got to say goodbye
Night closes in. I'm still wondering why?
Please help me understand. Is there something I could've done?
I'm trying to hold it together
But the day you left this earth
I changed for the worst, but my tears still hit the dirt
Could I have saved you? I should've been there
Looking back now everything was so clear I hate to say it,
I took you for granted I should've kept you near.
I've battled with the bottle and I shut everyone
Out including my best friend now I wish you were around
Always there to help whenever I was down now I
Wish more than anything I could turn this all around
I know I'm not the only one who feels this way
I've seen so many faces
Who are grieving the same way
I'd kill to bring my brother back for one more day
