Their four track debut EP, ‘Mirrors’, has been produced by former SikTh members Dan Weller and Justin Hill (Enter Shikari, Haunts, Gallows), and covers a host of subjects, from party-induced-excess and temptation, to adolescent aspirations and dependency, and all this in little more than 16 minutes. However, it’s a brief blast of promise that should more than whet the appetite for what’s to come from the five-piece and serves as a ringing statement of intent.
A 12-track debut album 'All Our Kings Are Dead' was released on the 21st of July 2010, and was well-received by both critics and fans alike.
With former Johnny Truant drummer Paul Jackson (Alexisonfire, Cancer Bats, The Ghost Of A Thousand) handling artwork duties, and a forthcoming remix of ‘The Weight Of The World’ by Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins’ L’Amour La Morgue project, there’s a distinct British flavour to ‘Mirrors’.
“British music is so healthy right now, the scene here has been building for a long time,” explains singer Gustav Wood, “and to have people from some of the best bands, past and present, helping us out and digging our band is incredible.”
Having clocked up shows alongside the likes of Funeral For A Friend, Lostprophets, The Answer and We Are The Ocean already, and with a relentless touring schedule ahead of them including supporting All Time Low on their UK tour, it’s going to be near impossible to avoid Young Guns in 2011, and on the proof of 'All Our Kings Are Dead' and ‘Mirrors’, we wouldn’t advise even trying.
[1]On October 13th, Young Guns released their new song 'Learn My Lesson' after it was premiered on Zane Lowes Radio 1's show at 7.30pm.
Young Guns' new album 'Bones' is out in Feb!
I Was Born I Have Lived I Will Surely Die
Young Guns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Facing defeat I'm still holding my head up high
Been deceived into thinking that it's alright
I just needed a reason to reach for the light
Now I've opened, opened, my eyes, now I see it
The light and i need it
There's no doubt you can yourself out if you want to
Every day is a chance to change the story
Don't run away, take a shot, give it everything you've got
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory?
Yesterday just a boy now I stand a man
I'm out on the edge feathers clutched in my hand and i know
That a time will come when all is done
Nothing will remain and so it goes
There's no doubt, you can get yourself out if you want to
When you're on the due, if the current calls you
The jump cos to fall is beneath you, don't turn away, don't be shy
you've got questions so do I, every day is a chance to change the story
Don't run away, take a shot, give it everything you've got
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory?
Don't run away, don't be shy, you've got questions so do I
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory?
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory?
Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory?
The song “I Was Born I Have Lived I Will Surely Die” by the Welsh rock band Young Guns exemplifies a message of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity. The lyrics convey that every person has the power to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness, and that it is through pain and struggles that we find our purpose in life. The opening lines of the song, “I was born, I have lived, I will surely die / Facing defeat I'm still holding my head up high,” suggest that despite the inevitability of death and the challenges we face, it is our attitude and determination that truly defines us.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of taking action and not giving up when faced with difficulty. The lyrics, “Don't run away, take a shot, give it everything you've got / Without pain, tell me what's the point in glory?” underscore the idea that success and glory are only achievable through hard work and perseverance, and that pain and setbacks should not be feared but embraced as opportunities for growth.
The song also explores the theme of self-discovery and personal growth. The lyrics, “Every day is a chance to change the story / Don't turn away, don't be shy, you've got questions so do I,” encourage listeners to be brave, to ask questions, and to seek answers that will lead them towards a meaningful life. The song therefore serves as an anthem for those seeking inspiration and guidance on their journey towards self-realization.
