H… Read Full Bio ↴Hylian is a post-hardcore/metalcore band from Utah, United States.
Hylian formed in Northern Utah during the fall of 2014. Inspired by a large list of high energy guitar-based acts, the band draws inspiration from each and consciously leaves it at that, avoiding limiting themselves to a single sound. The band's founding members (vocalist Tanner Isom and guitarist Jake Nelson) started the project after confirming studio time with Landon Tewers (The Plot in You). Later, they recruited Hector Guadarrama (guitar), Carlo Gutierrez (bass), and Logan Sullivan (drums) to complete a 5-piece ensemble in order to perform tracks from their first record, Landscapes (2015). After local promoting and minor self-booked touring, the band returned to Landon in the spring of 2017 to record their second album Raison D'etre in 2018. Their acoustic EP Morning was released in 2022.

hylian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I felt I could never win, but never say never when you can just try again.
The words I cannot speak, are just the songs that I'm gonna sing.
You should find something you adore.
(It always leaves you wanting more)
You should find something you adore.
(It always leaves you wanting more)
So you shouldn't be feeling sorry for yourself, just find something that you adore.
"Someday I hope the man you are and the man you could be will meet. To let the two be one is destiny."
This goes for everything, be who you want to be.
You should find something you adore.
(It always leaves you wanting more)
You should find something you adore.
(It always leaves you wanting more)
So you shouldn't be feeling sorry for yourself, just find something that you adore.
And try not to focus on all of your mistakes, you do this far too often.
Far too often.
You tend to question every decision you make.
You're on the outside looking in, and hiding Skeletons.
