Forming back in 2007, This Century have quickly become one of the more exciting pop/rock bands to enter the scene. With their first LP release on Action Theory/Warner Bros. entitled “Sound Of Fire”, the band solidified their spot amongst the top tier of the pop/rock circuit. Soon after the release, AP Magazine named the them as one of the “100 Bands You Need To Know for 2011”. Their unique combination of anthemic pop and die hard grassroots fan base has led them to extensive tour dates with the likes of Good Charlotte, The Maine, The Ready Set, Breathe Carolina, Hey Monday and many others.

The band has recently teamed up with producer Colby Wedgeworth (The Maine) to work on music for their upcoming second LP that is yet to be released. ”We’re always trying to push the limits of what a pop band can be and we feel that we strive to top ourselves each time around.” says guitarist Sean Silverman about the upcoming release. The band is gearing up for a busy year that kick-starts with their brand new single. The song is an upbeat tour de force of pop that frontman Joel Kanitz calls ”the perfect summer anthem with a larger than life sound.”

This Century has most recently seen a large rise in popularity in Southeast Asia, where their songs “Sound of Fire” and “Everywhere, Everything” have both reached #1 on top 40 radio formats and continue to receive consistent radio attention. Plans for 2012 will include a run of international dates in support of their recent success. “We really feel like we’re developing something special internationally, something completely organic and new.” says bassist Alex Silverman, “There’s an excitement surrounding it that makes you eager to find out where our amazing fans are going to take the band next.”

This Century Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got something that I want from you,
You got something that I want you
I'm gonna tell you what I gotta do, I'm gonna tell you what I wanna do
And you can't hold me down

I wanna be loud, I wanna get out
You've got the noise, I've got the habit
Losing control, if I have it

I wanna be loud

When lights are black and blue, white lies, I could see through
It's getting complicated, give me something, noviciate it
I can only take anymore
And you can't hold me down, no you won't hold me down

I wanna be loud, I wanna get out
You've got the noise, I've got the habit
Losing control, if I have it
I wanna be loud

You got something that I want from you, you got something that I want you
Nobody's gonna turn me down when I'm shouting out
You got something that I want from you, you got something that I want you
Nobody's gonna turn me down when I'm shouting out

Yeah, oh yeah

I wanna be loud, I wanna get out
You've got the noise, I've got the habit

Losing control, if I have it
I wanna be loud

The line "losing control, if I have it" further suggests that they are willing to take risks and let go of inhibitions in order to live authentically.
