From their combined talents and influences The Leo Project distills a unique sound. On first listen, one will detect the eclectic elements of such diverse artists as Pantera, Phil Collins, ZZ Top and Van Halen but ultimately the aural experience will be all The Leo Project. All of this is packaged in an intense live show that offers the audience an event unlike any other. Touring relentlessly in support of their debut album “The Burning” they have established a reputation as one of the premiere acts in the Midwest. The Leo Project is sought after by a variety of venues that promise their patrons the ultimate concert experience. Fans and industry professionals alike have been impressed when The Leo Project shares the stage with performers like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, 3 Days Grace, Seether, Slipknot, Sevendust, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Shinedown, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, 36 Crazyfists, Hinder, Powerman 5000, Bobaflex, Hypnogaja, and many more.
Early 2009 will see the release of The Leo Project’s much-anticipated second album. Studio work has been completed in collaboration with producer Fred Archambault (deftones, Avenged Sevenfold). This album showcases the bands special blend of soulful vocals, blistering guitars and pyrotechnic percussion while capturing the energetic yet intimate connection to the audience that is the hallmark of their live performances. Now on the indie label Burning Scissors Records, this is only the beginning for The Leo Project.
Better Days
The Leo Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever you do, just please don't cry
All these things are true I'm saying
I do it just for you
I want you to know that I
Didn't breathe without you
Sleep without you by my side
And I take your pain away
And carry on to better days
And I have seen this memory fade
If I can make it through the day
Seeing faith can take you so far
But it's you alone that walks to that ledge
But in knowing in your heart of hearts
Do you know that it's your final step?
My seeing premonitions, leading visions
Telling me to take that final step
yeah, oh
And I take your pain away
And carry on to better days
And I have seen this memory fade
If I can make it through the day
The Leo Project's song Better Days has a narrative element to it starting with a wise adult telling a story to a child, urging not to cry. The adult then emphasizes that everything they've shared is true and that they do it for the child. The lyrics express that the adult's life depends on the child's existence, saying they can't breathe or sleep without them. Despite this intense connection, the adult takes on the responsibility of easing the child's pain and helping them move forward to better days. The song seems to suggest that even though faith can support and sustain individuals, in the end, it's up to each person to make the final decision that leads to better days.
The song is beautifully written to offer comfort to those who feel in despair or lost, assuring listeners that they will move forward to better times as the memory of the past slowly fades away. The lyrics offer an insightful perspective into how we can depend on others to help us heal, move on, and learn from the past, but ultimately, it's our individual decisions that will lead us to brighter days.
