Being As An Ocean - Nothing, Save The Power They're Given Lyrics

These words might mean nothing
But it's a chance I'm willing to take
Cause maybe I'm wrong and lives can change
I'm singing out of my insecurity
So someone, somewhere might be impacted by what I've made
I fidget and sway back and forth
Biting my nails down until they bleed
There is a lie that I've believed
I'd tell you, but I'm so scared of what you'd think

So I apologize if I've caused you to wake
Just close your eyes and let the beat rock you back to sleep
I'll tell you in the morning
About how this man you see
Often times feels like a child
Self-conscious and weak

I'll still put pen to paper
Try to explain these things
That invade my thoughts in my waking hours
Stories of Kings and princes that have lost their way
God, we'd give anything just to feel safe
Deep down, we all know our worth
We just need someone to truly love us first
So we tip toe around these crowded rooms
Hoping someone in attendance might be able to dress our wounds

We cry out without uttering a single word
So gather close, circle round
Cause maybe you've just never heard
And I'll tell you the story of the Love I've found
About the Truth embedded in you long before your birth
I'll ask once more
What are these words worth?

The most beautiful thing about this song is that the title is an answer to a question. The question is at the end of the song where Joel says "I'll ask once more
What are these words worth?" to which the answer is the song title..."Nothing, save the power they're given".

These guys have the King Midas touch.

Хорошечно.

Love u guys ❤️🙏🏼

2:08 that stick flip

This still gives me goosebumps and gets me full of feelings

1mil views well done everyone

Awesome

classic

1:32 weeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm impressed they were brave enough to bring all their equipment, and not get it stolen, to trafalgar square

Jesus Christ, I've been saved

blessedarethebroken amen

I'll ask once more.. what are these words worth?

I absolutely love this band. I can't wait to see them live one day. ❤❤❤

So the title of the song is the answer to the question posed in the last line right? "I'll ask once more, what are these words worth?" "Nothing, save the power they're given"

I enjoy writing songs. But fuck, those lyrics are unbelievable. Joe's such an amazing artist

Those are some loose ass bass strings

1:25 to 1:50... any recommendations for bands with this kinda sound?

Have Heart

ADORO

Yeah, youre Jam !

Underoath's Sound + Jake Luhrs' Vocals = Being As An Ocean. (Fan of all three btw)

b8 ride?

I normally don't like bands who continually scream throughout a song. Give or take a few bands who can pull it off really good bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Like Moths to Flames, August Burns Red, and The Plot In You are exceptions to this rule because they fucking rock especially BMTH and ABR. But I give mad props to this band BAAO is pretty good. Their cover of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas from Punk Goes Christmas (Deluxe Edition) is what stole my heart and got me (more) into this band. Mad props yo to you guys and hopefully you guys go far in the music industry, It's a dog eat dog world out there but I have a feeling this band will prevail!!

this band is fucking awesome!!!!!

amazing

omg emotional

they were amazing live!

Its an s/h model telecaster. Saw them live

guitar in 0:03 ??

jazzmaster?

Fender '72 Telecaster Custom

Fender Telecaster which model exactly I don't know :c

@Alexandre "DrPuppet" Weber I said already which exact model lol it's a 72 Tele Custom, google it!

@Beyond the Exosphere Deluxe has two humbuckers, Custom has SC in bridge and HB in neck!

This song is absolutely beautiful. Beginning to end.

When music touches your heart and soul like no human ever can!

Full tabs for BAAO - Nothing, Save The Power They're Given.

SHAD FUCKING THREW HIS STICK AT 2:09 AND DIDNT MISS A BEAT

@m. caòmhanách MAGIC

Nice profile picture. Good to see Nemertines repped across genres.

@Arabesque Band Ye

the video was recorded after the song though..

this is not the biggest art haha. loads of drummers do that, an during songs that are much more complicated and harder to play than this! ;) also, they put the recorded song over the video, what they played in the video is not actually the song you hear in the video. so what do we know, he might have missed the beat! :P

"But I'm so scared of what you'd think"

First time listening to anything by them and I got instant chills

Goosebumps, always with this song...

If I was walking through the streets and saw them filming..............

Damn i feel you :c

Lovin' that sigur rós t-shirt!!

Is that a band?

What's is the brand of that black guitar?

@Brayan Mendez looks like a fender telecaster deluxe

@louidog56 Thanks bro

@Brayan Mendez It's a Fender Telecaster

this song was going hard during my last breakup 

To me it's pretty amazing when I like every song by a band

Love the song 😍👌

I absolutely love this band, every song is like an extreme inspiration and faith boosting poem that can relate to everyone :D 

ohh yeahhh this is emotional :D

The bass translates the emotion of this song perfectly.

why the bass? it does not play anything special, it goes along with the guitars and when the guitars play melodies it often does not play at all. not to say that is a bad approach, I am just wondering why anybody would single out the bass as the special instrument in this song. it does what it does, and it fits the song.

these words are priceless

<3 ughh the band soo good!

hows it feel?

Its time like this were you think to yourself.. WTF was I doing when Being as an ocean was a  30 minute train journey away from me!!

Who knows what kind of model of guitar in this clip?

Fender Tele Modern player / Blacktop series , one of these

ITS A FENDER TELECASTER 72 CUSTOM WORN REISSUE THING FUCKING HELL ITS NOT DIFFICULT

I finally found a band that completely destroys Parkway Drive in Lyrical and musical content.

Not much complex songs from them, but nice melodies, great atmosphere and clear message, makes you wonder after a blurry day. I like what they are doing.

Love these lyrics :)
so damn inspirational 

I love this! Love this video, love the song, love what the band does!

Digging the septum piercing!

Probably the best lyrics I've ever heard, hands down

I've seen this video so many times and only just noticed the stick trick around 2:10. Beast.

This is beautiful...

This is such an amazing band.

fuck you guys just seriously saved my life right now. i couldn't thank you enough. keep doing what you guys are doing it's so amazing. Music saves lives. :)

The beard looks amazing as always and your music is beautiful.
Seriously, I wonder what your guys creative process is, because your music is so stunning, and so... real, and raw in its emotion, and its delivery.
Your vocals convey the meaning so well, and your drummer has some of the best rolls I've ever heard.
You guys are just so unique.

Can't wait to see you guys in AZ with Hundredth and Counterparts!

i fucking love this group!

Amazing *-*

Completely awesome. Nothing else to say.

thats sick i loved it

Perfect.

So good

I love this! You guys are great.

I'd love to see you guys recorded by an engineer like Matt Goldman or Andrew Scheps.
Something more rough, real, and something to match the actual music and lyrics more.
