American Nightmare - The World Is Blue Lyrics






Still on the cross I am waiting
At crossroads deciding to stay
From a nowhere town to the center of the world
This all could collapse in a day

Hell is hot but I'm keeping cool
The fire of youth burns in a world that's blue
And if a bridge don't support our weight
First we cross it then we burn it down

Knives out in the fucking shadows
Thieves seem to seize all my days
And those who claim loyal to the grave
Will be the first to die alone

Hell is hot but I'm keeping cool
The fire of youth burns in a world that's blue
And if a bridge don't support our weight
First we cross it then we burn it down

Salvation
Salivation
Salvation
Salivation

I see the sun shining down on me
I see the sun shining down on me

We've lived our whole lives
On one road
Now we are here
Now we are nowhere

American Nightmare The World Is Blue Comments
  1. I.... O....

    This would have meant more to me 15 years ago

  2. J.... t....

    His voice sounds way to high not hearing  the hard sound they used to have

  3. K.... J....

    1:25 - Josh Scogin?

  4. Z.... M....

    awesome

  5. W.... 2....

    Frank.... Ireo
    .

  6. D.... ....

    Is Wes getting tired of ripping off New Order so he is returning to what gave him a name in the first place?

  7. A.... C....

    Seeing them for albums release show in Philly next month. It's gonna be amazing once again

  8. C.... ....

    A little baffled by people comparing this to Metallica...but sounds amazing

  9. J.... A....

    put speed on 1,25 and you'll get a really good song.

    J.... A....

    true! the normal version is a little too slow

    J.... A....

    NOW this sounds like AN.

  10. B.... ....

    Sounds incredible.

  11. J.... S....

    Punk is not dead.

  12. s.... w....

    I dig it reminds me of some girls and i like thwy finally got the AN name back

  13. R.... P....

    I don't understand why everyone is surprised at how this sounds. To me, it sounds like a likely progression from We're Down Til We're Underground.

    R.... P....

    It misses the blasting energy of previous records a little but it's still very trademark AN. I also liked his voice on "we're down ..." better. Sounded more desperate. More urgent. This is a little more whiney, dragged out. The other song "American Death", which they played live already, is pretty similar to this one, so I hope the other 7 songs will catch up a little on the aggressiveness, except for the one odd obvious slow song :D

    R.... P....

    I mean its all subjective but how do you not perceive aggressiveness from this!?

    R.... P....

    I think it does feel aggressive but also quite laid back. Progression and all, the songs on "We're down" had a really pressing urgency to them, which this song is missing. It is more punk than core and I'm getting used to it. I'm not saying that this is bad by all means, half of the views are probably from me :D

    R.... P....

    Right on.. Its funny how the song does such different things for everyone. To me this seems like a good next album from We're Down, but it actually feels more of the words you use to describe the previous record ("urgent" for example). Beauty of music man, its what you take from it. Either way this album is going to be great I think

    R.... P....

    Ryan Pelaez people are not very forward thinking and respond to change with confusion or criticism

  14. J.... N....

    Came for the comments, not disappointed.

  15. S.... C....

    Is it true that Tim Cossar is no longer a part of American Nightmare? That might explain the difference in sound with this latest track.

    S.... C....

    Doesn't look like it. He's not in their new promo photo and isn't listed in the articles I've seen on Pitchfork and Consequence of Sound. I haven't been able to find any info on why, though. It worries me that his absence might hurt this album, I always thought of him as a big creative force in AN.

    S.... C....

    I agree about Tim being a significant creative contributor to American Nightmare's sound. To be honest I am not overly impressed with this latest release; stylistically speaking his absence makes a huge difference in the group's sound. I guess we will have to see what the full-length album sounds like in its entirety once it drops next month.

  16. s.... ....

    Yep. This song jams!!

  17. B.... A....

    So I guess they allowed to use the "American Nightmare" name now? I like Give up the ghost, but they were still always American Nightmare to me

  18. A.... C....

    Reminds me of old Rise Against

    A.... C....

    Anthony Carey hahahahahahahahhahaha

  19. R.... O....

    Album of the 2018, period!

  20. R.... L....

  21. J.... G....

    Nice copy of Bane or Refused

    J.... G....

    How in god's name does this even in the smallest way sound like BANE?

  22. J.... H....

    getting Some Girls vibes

    J.... H....

    Johnny Amok i’m actually bummed they’re doing another record. they had 2 perfect full length records. and then called it quits. a perfect legacy in my opinion. i feel like they’re about to hurt the legacy. we’ll see tho

    J.... H....

    Wes is a great lyricist and the musicians are all very good too. the record will be good no question, it simply cannot be bad, but i agree that it's risky business what they are attempting to do here. Judging after the two songs we already know (This and american death) the new record will not be as "i don't give a fuck" as the previous ones but that is to be expected. Did Refused or At The Druive-In destroy their legacy with their new records? No, I don't think so, both records were damn solid but not TOO great either. Still, I'm more than stoked to finally hear new stuff!

    J.... H....

    haha i actually was pretty disappointed with that At The Drive-In album. i dug the new Refused record though. so i get where you're coming from. and yeah, Wes' lyrics are the highlight of the band for me, so i'm sure that' aspect will be top regardless if the music isn't stellar. fingers crossed

    J.... H....

    Johnny Hanel I totally understand where you're coming from i felt the same exact way for refused but im loving this new track so much so im certain im going to love this album

    J.... H....

    "Did Refused destroy their legacy with their new record?"

    Yes.

  23. J.... L....

    Salvia-ation

  24. C.... B....

    this song is friggin good

  25. A.... ....

    fuck can't believe they made a new album

  26. �.... ....

    Its not Background Music, but Its not bad!

  27. B.... G....

    This is punk hardcore at its finest.

  28. T.... ....

    Awesome punk rock band.they need more views because they sound good

  29. P.... ....

    E.... E....

    E.... E....

    These dudes never listen to tui

  38. I.... f....

    Where is lil pump ? He should be here.

    I.... f....

    Ima flex on yo What

  39. w.... ....

    I wonder if they have calmed down a bit in their old age and finally admit to people that they are from Maine.

    w.... ....

    Better yet. It would be cool if they actually ever did a show in their home state.

    w.... ....

    They actually mention Maine in one of the new songs..forgot which one tho.

  40. B.... B....

    fuck yes.

  41. o.... f....

    whoa, way better than i expected.

  42. C.... F....

    It’s fun to hit pause at see what photo it lands on

  43. S.... M....

    good not great..almost like the Stooges+early metallica

    S.... M....

    its called hardcore xD

    S.... M....

    Suvam Mukhopadhyay You retarded or something? How did you end up here, especially so early?!

    S.... M....

    Yes hardcore is American punk mixed with trash metal. What an amazing revelation.

    S.... M....

    You’ve clearly never ever listened to music before.

    S.... M....

    No it isn't lol

  44. E.... B....

    I like this a lot.

  45. r.... ....

    first post

    r.... ....

    AN is NOT a metallic hardcore band. It's just an extremely good hardcore/punk band.

    r.... ....

    Johnny Amok I'm sure we're all on the same page here

    r.... ....

    Eh, they have the "deathwishcore" metal tinge on a few songs. They still have nothing to do with most of the other acts on this label.

    r.... ....

    Fake Train lol true I love metal in General I love playing guitar more than anything

    r.... ....

    All Tatted what happened to music? Literally every one of those bands that you listed are pure garbage. You say you are tired of bands going soft, yet there are records that came out in 2017 that are 100 times heavier and more authentic than any of the bands you listed lol.
