Annihilator - Smothered Lyrics






I can't tell, I think I might be going crazy
Just wanna leave it all behind
Been on the brink for many years, I'm thinking
Feels like I'm running out of time

I'm getting sick and tired, giving everything I've got,
I get nothing in return
I can't breathe
This never-ending madness,
Raining down on me like a ton of bricks,
Face in the dirt

Childish delusions, they say it's just a fantasy
You're no good, no chance, you'll never learn
Just give it up and come back to reality
Your dreams are none of my concern

I'm getting sick and tired, giving everything I've got,
I get nothing in return
I can't breathe
This never-ending madness,
Raining down on me like a ton of bricks,
Face in the dirt

What do you think you doing in your life?
You should be ashamed of yourself
I don't know why you just don't give up
You got those ideas, these dreams but know what?
You're nothing but a loser
No wonder you get no respect
You're not smart enough
You don't speak the right language
Your skin is not the right color
You're too tall, you weight too much, you're too short
You're too fat

Why you don't give up this stupid ideas and do something right for once?

Lined up, one by one
They try to bring you down
Don't ever listen what they say
Determination, the battle will be won
And all the pain will go away

[2x]
I'm getting sick and tired, giving everything I've got,
I get nothing in return
I can't breathe
This never-ending madness,
Raining down on me like a ton of bricks,
Face in the dirt

  4. R.... A....

    sMOTHERed

  5. C.... E....

    Annihilator ever suffered from the fact that the band was so fragmented and with no long-term musicians but Jeff Waters and his continously mutating ideas about what to do with his music; they have a great sound and Smothered is one of my favourites, but i think they've could done better things.
    My two cents.

  6. H.... ....

  29. l.... ....

    @MrJony81 ahahah you're kididng me right?? annihilator was on of the best thrash metal bands ever, i perfectley know their songs, but this, this is fucking alternative shit, they're not the same anymore. you should learn more about music myfriend

  30. M.... G....

    this is different.....................

  31. h.... _....

    @campoobutt
    Some ppl are idiots. In my music class we were discussing how ppl say "the new music isnt as good as old school" which is bullshit. Those ppl are just close minded and arent true musicians let alone artist. True musicians and artists are always open to new ideas and ways of thinking.

  32. B.... C....

    I don't care what you turds say.....good song and top album.

  33. F.... G....

    LoL a Banda fez sussesso mais assim nos não iremos esquece, fez musicas que sei que muitos gostaram.

    Maso que podemos fazer eles pode irem mais as lembranças deles ficam.

    'Guys the true i't this band is very cool....but they go .... but the legend of music stay w/ Us'

    anyWay... fuck this Bastard who not Like this METAL!.

  34. K.... ....

    haha i like the side info

  35. k.... ....

    this band sucks now,the old annihilator ruled!.

  36. j.... ....

    This is fucking awesome Annihilator!!!!!!!

  37. i.... ....

    love this singer fuck all those who dont, great melody and solid tone its good shit

  38. A.... O....

    This guy knows what hes on about, I totally agree. \m/

  39. M.... D....

    thanks, finally someone who agrees on me.

    padden is VERY talented, plus he also plays guitar. if the others don't like it, they can go listen to the old records.

  40. C.... D....

    You stupid whiny bitchez! Listen to the song! This is fucking ANNNIHILATOR - listen to the riffage, listen to the melodies, to the composition and the vocal lines - they are all Annihilator, all over.

    It's just that it is 20 years later and the band had progressed.

    And WTF, you guys are putting the guest appearance of shitty thrash-gone-metalcore band guitarist as the high point of the song? Who put this loser at the same stage as Waters?

    ANNIHILATOR kills, and you better learn it!

  41. C.... D....

    actually, Padden is the best vocalist that they had. And not because of his voice (which I kinda like), but because he and Jeff can go along ... which wasn't the case before...

    He has a good voice and technique, it's only that he's doomed to be compared to Rampage (asshole) and Pharr. Listen to Set the World On Fire from their latest DVD without watching the TV and you will be surprised how good Padden sings it.

    So, give the man his due - he's part of Annihilator and does his job well.

  42. M.... s....

    AGUANTE ANNIHILATOR!!!!!!!

  43. c.... ....

    killer riffage=)\m/

  44. O.... V....

    The singer on the third album is gay...You can watch him from youtube,he is really bad...

  45. s.... ....

    randy rampage is awesome.......how about coburn pharr and set the world on fire singer

  46. s.... ....

    and the 1st singer from alice in hell

  47. D.... ....

    Laaaal, why do you guys who says "i hate this album, they were much better before..." etc.

    why do you even listen to it then? and why even care about writing it on comments? lee

  48. e.... ....

    Is that Annihilator ? Fuck me - BORING !!

  49. R.... ....

    This album is perfect....

  50. j.... ....

    i like these guys, and there king of the kill and similar songs, this is ok, i hate this new grunting shit now

  51. W.... o....

    Actually I only listened to this song because Anders Bjorler is guesting, and he's one of my favorites guitar players.

    I love his riffing style

  52. W.... o....

    Well, I don't consider myself and 'old school' metal fan, because much of what I listen is post 1990, don't take me wrong, I don't listen to metalcore shit or stuff like that, but this doesn't sounds like Thrash :S.

    The voice is way too melodic :S

  53. S.... ....

    Eat me.
    Alternative > all.

  54. S.... ....

    Meh, don't bother, they'll grow up sooner or later..
    That doesn't mean they'll grow some fucking brains though.. :P

  55. P.... K....

    DAMN ! He sounds like he came from a fuckin' boyband ! WHERE HAVE THE REAL ANNIHILATOR GONE ?

  56. T.... ....

    the name of this should be annihilator used to play metal and this guys voice sucks balls and the music seems worse than canadian metal oot!

  57. J.... P....

    WHAT THE FUCK

  58. l.... ....

    this is like some alternative shit

  59. E.... T....

    im sorry but the voice is a joke

  60. R.... ....

    LMFAO!
    WHAT THE FUCK...
    This is pathetic!
    What has Annihilator come to?
    Vocal effects?
    The same double bass through the entire album?
    This is a fucking joke. Any metal head could produce this in a matter of weeks.
    I love how Jeff Waters tried to use all these other metal stars to contribute to the album to make it look good or what not... but this is their worst without a doubt. The vocals are FUCKING JOKE!!!!!!!!!!

  61. M.... ....

    The music is absolutely awesome.. but the vocalist.. what the hell.. man it's like this every song.. he rly doesn't sound great

  62. B.... ....

    Thank you i agree soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much but they keep getting bad comments but they shouldn't

  63. I.... S....

    iznabadam ti kevu po vagini

  64. y.... ....

    at least jeff waters still got the guita

  65. M.... ....

    Wow, this sucks...sorry, old stuff is so much better. Vocals just seem so pussy...

  66. B.... ....

    well its clear 2 me that ur not real annihilator fans otherwise u would love everything that they play

  67. D.... C....

    The song sounds really mechanical, to my regret. I don't think the triggered drums help =/


    *guest solo by Anders Bjorler isn't bad at all, but it still doesn't save my impression of the song =(

  68. D.... C....

    ...Really?

  69. e.... ....

    does anyone have any aspirin? this is horrible!

  70. A.... -....

    This sounds like stupid new bands like "bullet for my valentine" and so.

  71. A.... -....

    WTF is this? is this really Annihilator? This sounds like crap to me. Not original at all. Annihilator got fucked up i guess.

  72. Z.... ....

    I don't like Padden's voice, it's just not good for the style.

  73. m.... ....

    imbarising... they aren't thrash anymore...

  74. g.... ....

    hell yea, the king of the kill days were better.. way better.. the vocals suck now a days

  75. C.... ....

    This just sounds lame. :(

  76. s.... ....

    I completely agree. The music is all there, but the singer really hurts them these days.

  77. D.... W....

    i agree it was better in the king of the kill days

  78. k.... ....

    If they had their old vocals, then the song may sound better. The song is good but not the vocals...

  79. M.... G....

    I agree ! From thrash to metalcore :(

  80. e.... ....

    wow... the singer sucks balls

  81. z.... ....

    kwestia gustu. Mnie Padden nie pasuje po prostu, może czasem jak coś wrzaśnie... ale jego melodyjne śpiewanie nie pasuje do ogółu.

  82. m.... c....

    ehUAEhUAHEUAHauhauhe

    lawl, i think i missclicked and now i'm hearing My Chemical Romance instead of Annihilator

  83. D.... ....

    the band itself should like its singer or whatever like their music!

  84. C.... W....

    the singers of set the world on fire and criteria for a black widow are very good, so don't tell me that annihilator has never had a good singer. fuck u.

  85. z.... ....

    I'd rather hear a growler in this piece than Padden...

  86. z.... ....

    That's right. Annihilator has NEVER had a good singer. Including nowadays. Wouldn't it be cool if Mille Petrozza sang here? the music kicks ass but Padden sounds like... errr... Bon Jovi?

  87. c.... ....

    psh MEGADETH is the best

  88. T.... ....

    There are better songs on this album... atleast in my opinion. ROONTANG, i think the same as you think, Annihilator needs a new singer. :)

  89. M.... ....

    All good cept for the vocals. Time for a new singer methinks.

  90. a.... ....

    this is not good, what have they done?

  91. S.... ....

    So true .. (rofl)

  92. S.... ....

    Am too lazy to put that kind of stuff ;D
    thanks anyway :]

  93. S.... L....

    Oh my god Ysurain, you're such a loser.

  94. D.... D....

    Omg the new album sucks ass... It sounds like a satire.

  95. M.... F....

    annihilator rulzzz
