Formed in 2005, brothers Matt and Dave Nadolski came together to create an honest sound that would resonate with listeners from all walks of life. The duo teamed up with local bassist Kenn Davis, Kentucky-native Brandon Sidebottom, and Russell Lee, former Deepfield drummer from Charleston, SC. With an in-your-face high-energy live show and a relentless touring ethic, Under The Flood is making their stamp in the rock industry. Their debut record The Witness was produced by Brian Craddock (Daughtry), mixed by Skidd Mills (Saliva, Saving Abel), and released worldwide by Koch Records in May 2008.
Under the Flood has recently teamed up with Join or Die Records to release their highly-anticipated sophomore album Alive In The Fire, which was produced by Andy Waldeck (Earth To Andy) and Kevin Murphy (Tonic, Josh Gracin). The new Album showcases the group’s growth and maturity as a band. It sheds light on a darker side of Under the Flood while maintaining their trademark melodic sound and lyrical substance.
Stranded
Under The Flood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaves me stranded
Cold and helpless
Scared and lost.
Watch the monster
Fool the others
My anger's brimming
Clear.
Burning eyes
Tearing holes in countless lives
Never tell them how you dragged me out
Locked me down imprisoned now
Tear out my heart
It's killing me inside
Take back the life
That you stole from me.
Shameless liar
Evil one
Prey on the gentle
Cheating lust
Feel the tension
Snare the wicked
Witness the end of deceitful lies
Lies
Burning eyes
Tearing holes in countless lives
Never tell them how you dragged me out
Locked me down imprisoned now
Tear out my heart
It's killing me inside
Take back the life
That you stole from me.
Burning eyes
Tearing holes in countless lives
Never tell them how you dragged out
Locked down imprisoned now
Tear out my heart
It's killing me inside
Take back the life
That you stole from me.
The lyrics of "Stranded" by Under The Flood paint a picture of the struggle for power that leaves the singer feeling stranded, helpless, scared, and lost. The singer watches as a monster fools others and the anger within them begins to brim. They see through the lies and deceit and the tension it causes. They are tearing holes and being torn apart by this thirst for power. The shameless liar preys on the gentle, cheating on lust, but eventually, their wickedness gets snared, and the end of their deceitful lies is witnessed.
The lyrics are powerful and emotional, and they describe the profound effects that the thirst for power can have on people. The singer has been dragged out of their comfort zone, locked down and imprisoned, and their heart is being torn out. The message here is clear, that the pursuit of power can hurt many people and cause a lot of damage.
The repeated chorus emphasizes this damage, as the singer begs to take back the life that has been stolen from them. They are imprisoned by the actions of others that have caused them pain and suffering. The song's lyrics highlight how the pursuit of power can lead to a domino effect of destruction that can take down many people in its wake.
