Devin Townsend - Fallout Lyrics






As we're born to ride alone
Never to return
Cry unfair if you want
So we grow in the ways we were
To the way we are
Fallout

You're on your own
You're all, you're always home
And we fall now

As we live to right the wrongs
Never to return, then the truth hits you hard
So we've grown from the ways we were, to the ways we are
Fallout

You're on your own
You're all, you're always home
And we fall now

If you could say, anything you wanted
What would you say?

I'd tell you all
We are young, at the end of this cycle
And there may be no rest even when we are done

That's when you're feeling empowered
You'll trade your fear in for power
If we knew what came tomorrow
There'd be no time for the sorrow

Throttle!

As we're born to ride alone, never to return
Cry unfair if you want

So you've grown in the ways we were
To the way we are
Fallout

You're on your own
You're all, you're always home
And we fall now

If you could say anything you wanted...what would you say?

    0:50 can some periphery fan tell me what periphery song Im feeling here

  2. D.... H....

    Why you go trent Reznor with the vocal mix :(

  3. J.... H....

    I do prefer this mix, but either way this is just an awesome epic track.

  4. A.... ....

    With Devy on vocals this has a really strong Ocean Machine vibe.

  5. r.... s....

    he never should have any one else sing ever

  6. J.... M....

    Category : Animals. Thanks Youtube, we know about that.

  7. o.... ....

  11. S.... M....

    Who would have guessed the skullet wielding mad man that fronted SYL would evolve into a powerhouse of a singer. Man this give me chills.

  12. A.... S....

    Avengers? :v

  13. D.... P....

    I'm so glad I've found out about Devin's music!

  14. M.... H....

    Just saw them at the Loud Park Festival in Japan. That is one badass mofo! His voice gives me goosebumps!

  15. F.... O....

    What a voice!

  16. g.... ....

    I like Anneke's version slightly better. Her voice just soars over everything. This version is still awesome, but I guess it really comes down which one you heard first. I'm still glad Devin does the background vocals on that track though. It's a great supplement. :)

  17. S.... ....

    The line "cry unfair if you want" reminds me of politics. You know a politician is trying to pull your strings when they start talking about fairness. The world is unfair get the fuck over it and don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

  18. F.... S....

    The fucking power in that second verse!

  19. L.... V....

    Anneke's Hyperdrive, but Devin's Fallout, this should've been the final version...

  20. h.... ....

    Massive

  21. M.... F....

    just wow! hits me right in the soul every time.

  22. J.... W....

    I love Anneke, really I do. And maybe this is just the newness of this version, but I think I prefer Devin only on this one. Or have her pop in halfway or something.

  23. J.... K....

    I like this version far more than the other one. Devin's voice is just blistering with power on this track!

  24. S.... d....

    can't decide if I like this version or the original better :v !! both Dev and Anneke sing awesome !!

    S.... d....

    Sebastián Galindo This IS the original.

    S.... d....

    I mean yes. But I meant the one on the album. Of course Dev writes all the songs originally with his voice

  25. H.... M....

    Whats the name of the faster version? Cant find it :(

    H.... M....

    The faster version - just speed this video up on desktop to 1.25. It doesn't really exist, sadly. :(

  26. B.... S....

    This song makes me happy that music is a thing.

  27. M.... S....

    Oh shit, his voice! That voice!!!

  28. B.... B....

    It hurts me that Devin's recording didn't make it onto the album. It would have made Sky Blue soooo much better.

  29. D.... A....

    the intro says " BRICIOLE!!" AHAHHAA!

  30. t.... ....

    it's funny, Devin sings better on Fallout, but Anneke sings better on Hyperdrive. both, very good singers.

  31. T.... B....

    DTP - Earth's Mightiest Heroes!

    T.... B....

    Disbanded Townsend Project... :( But his new work is also amazing, so there's that! :D

  32. N.... E....

    Devin's voice could stop nuclear war.

    N.... E....

    Devin's voice is the most powerful weapon created by the universe, his voice can destroy shit music and convert posers ;).

    N.... E....

    JoelMetal *Poozers

    N.... E....

    JoelMetal well said lol

    N.... E....

    yes the nukes would just explode before they go anywhere

    N.... E....

    Or start it ;)

  33. t.... ....

    Best version.

  34. T.... S....

    Devin is a genius..... wonder what would come to life if he and Mike Patton joined forces :D

    T.... S....

    oh hell!!!!! I never thought of that! Not sure the human ear could handle that much excellence!

    T.... S....

    Townsend and Patton Project".... sounds great

  35. C.... M....

    Devin Townsend is on vocals what Steve Vai is on guitar

    C.... M....

    And they worked together if you can believe it! Steve Vai's Sex & Religion album. Check it out if you're not already aware of it.

    C.... M....

    I disagree. Devin sings good music and what is necessary. He isn't showing off perpetually to disguise his lack of songwriting ability. Yes, Sex and Religion is one of his better albums, but him and Satriani can't write for shit. Buckethead is comparably skilled and certainly does show off, but not to the same extent, and he usually has a good melody to work from. Even Eric Johnson at least had a great melodic song in "Cliffs of Dover" to wank over. So imo that's an insult to Devin :(.

    C.... M....

    @Christian Gasior Not sorry. That response is amazingly out of touch.

  36. f.... b....

    j'adore <3 mon fils va les voirj fin janvier ds la région et je pense que je vais aller av lui <3

  37. k.... ....

    I love Anneke but I prefer this version

  38. S.... L....

    Hey thanks for this :) Dying to find it since he uploaded him laying down the vocals for this track on his youtube channel

  39. S.... ....

    I listen to this frequently whilst playing the Fallout games.

  40. V.... ....

    There is the video of Hyperdrive that plays both versions of Devin's and Anneke's together. Maybe someone will do that one day. The popular the songs become and the more known, the better the likelihood of the amazing thing happening.

  41. J.... ....

    WOW,,, Both versions are Awesome,,

  42. D.... ....

    I wish that Anneke had done the first verse, Devin did the second and then they both did the last.

    D.... ....

    That would have been so sick

    D.... ....

    Here's a version with both singing http://www.youtubemultiplier.com/57f11c40c4add-devin-townsend-project-fallout-duet.php

    D.... ....

    +Mateus Targino Holy hell, it kinda works!

    D.... ....

    Mateus Targino fucking awesome

    D.... ....

    @Mateus Targino Thank you. Holy shit, thank you!

  43. G.... E....

    I like this version 2x better.

  44. A.... B....

    I like to refer to Devin as the Nikola Tesla of the music industry. If it cannot be done, he WILL do it.

    A.... B....

    +Adam Bobro I always though of Thomas Dolby.

  45. L.... C....

    Devin Fucking Townsend

    L.... C....

    hellyeah <3 he's so amazing

  46. M.... F....

    Never heard this version before, thank you!

  47. A.... W....

    ive decided devin isnt human. no human can possess this much talent.

  48. C.... C....

    This is by far much more powerful than Anneke version, Devin has such a badass voice that suits perfectly for this song

  49. s.... ....

    Talk about humility, Devin delivers one of his strongest vocal performances ever, then decides to lay Anneke in as the dominant vocalist on the verses. I'm assuming he felt it was better that way, it certainly has more texture. But damn, they're both so strong I can't pick a favorite.

    s.... ....

    Bum Biscuits, I read it somewhere. It was interesting and small enough a factoid that I didn't bother to fact check. I just tried searching for more concrete evidence and found nothing confirming it, so it would appear as though I was wrong.

    s.... ....

    +Tyler Baum Haha. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Devin doesn't know Maynard personally. Plus from what I've gathered, Dev doesn't seem to be the type to go out of his way for feedback on his work in progress.

    s.... ....

    @Bum Biscuits So uhhh, I know this comment chain is years old at this point, but I do wanna clarify that I do 100% know that what Tyler was talking about is true, I remember Devin talking about it in some documentary on the album or some video on his channel.

    s.... ....

    From Dev's 2014 tweet:

    "I chose not to sing Fallout because frankly, I'm sick of myself lately. Just didn't want to hear myself there. There it is."

    s.... ....

    @Nick Porcaro Good enough for me.

  50. S.... P....

    anyway to get a high quality file version of this?

    S.... P....

    Sam Parker Buy it

    S.... P....

    @Jake Moresea
    I have the Devy CDs, i mean this version with devs vocals instead of anneke, it was from an early version of the album that leaked

  51. A.... ....

    much better

  52. T.... T....

    This is not a man, This is a god!

  53. M.... B....

    How does one man possess so much voice?

    M.... B....

    +David Easthope I totally concur. Nerdgodvoice extravaganza!

    M.... B....

    +Matthew Brown He's either a real Canadian, or an Alien.

    M.... B....

    lmao. he is like a master martial artist with his vocal chords

    M.... B....

    Stephen Meroney a "Can-Alien" !?

    M.... B....

    Big balls!

  54. M.... W....

    Both versions are excellent (just like Hyperdrive)!

    God, this album is amazing...

  55. o.... B....

    Waaooooh ! Wonderfull beautyfull! I love this guy it's an genius!

  56. A.... W....

    Devin looks like a martian math-metal milkman in this pic. :D Loving the Kenny Loggins vibes in this song too!

  57. T.... &....

    Normally I love Anneke's contribution to Dev's music... but I honestly have to say this song is significantly better when Dev's vocals are at the helm.

  58. n.... ....

    LOUDER. LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  59. B.... ....

    I didn't even realise there was a version with Anneke doing the lead voclas

    B.... ....

    @Bethan_Modelmaker You haven't gotten the Z2 disc? Sky Blue came with it and its on there.

  60. G.... R....

    Grandissimo pezzo

  61. T.... ....

    As a fanboy, this just points out Anneke's special vocal quality. This is awesome, but the final version is just jaw dropping.

  62. G.... S....

    Me...I love it...Devin or Anneke...bit like Hyperdrive...although I can't listen to Hyperdrive with Devin on Addicted album, but then I cant listen to Hyperdrive by Anneke near any Ziltoid songs.  I would love ths version for my collection though :)

  63. B.... ....

    he sang it live in paris 5th march 2015, greattttttt

  64. L.... ....

    This version is arguably more "powerful" due to Dev's vocals, but the over all affect has to go to the work with Anneke. Especially the 2:10 part. Just BOOM, hits you so much more. But who are we really to call points on this, regardless of "version" this song is just superb. Trade your fear in for power!

  65. N.... ....

    Where did you find this version?

    N.... ....

    it was released to radio stations as a promo before the album dropped

    N.... ....

    +Geoff Galt I wonder the same

    N.... ....

    +Geoff Galt college ones

  66. m.... ....

    I like the final product, but the original mix feels much more personal and powerful. Devin's voice fits perfectly with this style of instrumentation and production while the final mix lacks some emotion.

  67. S.... ....

    Does anyone know what promo CD this came from? Was it from one of the metal mags like Hammer/Terrorizer etc.?

    S.... ....

    The one he handed out early to professional reviewers, and found its way onto torrent sites.

    S.... ....

    @lahbl Hey thanks for the reply. Would you happen to know where I could download a high quality version?

    S.... ....

    There's not really a "high quality" version. It wasn't the final mix.

    Jump on a torrent site, and find one that is only 2CD's, instead of 3CD's. The promo batch only had 2CD's.

  68. R.... ....

    Regardless of which version you prefer, I love the epic feel of this song. It make me feel like I'm on my way through the galaxies to defeat a cosmic army in a small but nimble starfighter :P

  69. T.... G....

    Epic. 

  70. s.... ....

    I like both! I wouldn't know which to choose. 

  71. M.... ....

    I love the Anneke version but this one takes the cake in my opinion.

  72. M.... ....

    I prefer this version over Anneke's solely on regards of ''passion'', Devin's versions has more of it... or at least that is my perception.

    M.... ....

    @Mashkihitho He's really got that "thum" to his voice, doesn't he?

    M.... ....

    @Informal Fallacy Definitely, but more like Thu'um

    M.... ....

    +Mashkihitho I've been listening to both verions all day long. I really love Anneke voice, but this Devin's leading vocal is just mindblowing. Like you are floating with his voice. Amazing combination of music and voice.

    M.... ....

    Karen Beglyarov put perfectly

    M.... ....

    I like both. You are right about the passion, but I also like the contrast between the heavy guitars and Anneke's voice in the other version.

  73. J.... ....

    Devin...oh my god you sound good on the track. I wish that this came as a bonus with the z2 album.

  74. D.... ....

    Im torn between the two. Devy wails, but Anneke sounds lovely as well. I just saw him in concert last night, was amazing and if he had played Fallout then i would have no choice but to like his leads better.

  75. s.... ....

    Mózg rozjebany !!!!!

  76. J.... C....

    The vocals make it seem like this is a remastered song from Ocean Machine - sort of gritty with Devin's modern production style.

    Or something. Either way this song is ace.

  77. A.... ....

    The version with Anneke is really great but I prefer this one, I think it's more coming from the heart.

  78. Z.... T....

    Devin looked like he was struggling with this song during his "Singing" video.  Anneke's version sounds a lot smoother.

    Z.... T....

    @Nubtub117 you fuckboi

    Z.... T....

    @Ziltoid TheOmniscient generico

    Z.... T....

    @Nubtub117 don't doxx pls

    Z.... T....

    i didnt i just happened to stumble upon this, i sincerely like this

    Z.... T....

    @Nubtub117 sweet dude, Devin is amazing

  79. L.... ....

    Thank you for sharing this. I've waited to hear this ever since I saw a video of him recording these vocals.

  80. N.... S....

    The original kind of reminds me of Devin Townsend Band era stuff with a dash of his newer work, but the version with Anneke is more currnet-Dev. Both versions are fantastic.

    N.... S....

    @Nate Szigeti I was thinking the same thing, very Accelerated Evolution

  81. C.... F....

    The CD version is better in my opinion. Two voices give a good balance to the song and Anneke is one hell of a singer. This version is absolutely fantastic too. Just too much awesomeness.

  82. d.... m....

    Why did he get Anneke to do vocals for this track on the album? He sounds way better than her.

    d.... m....

    @***** You're right.  And it's not even that he can't physically do it in his "old age".  It's that he's at a different place in his life.  We all go through metamorphoses as the decades go on.  He's finding peace.  The craziness is just not him anymore.

    d.... m....

    Oh I know.  I got ya

    d.... m....

    @*****
    Oh, I dunno. I don't think he has much trouble hitting those notes. And he still out-belts most vocalists half his age. I think he'll be going quite fine into his 50s if he decides to keep making music. It's funny actually, I've found that his voice has improved with age, especially live. He's much more accurate nowadays then he used to be. Doing this song every night on tour would kill just about any vocalist, regardless of age. It sounds great with him on vocals, I mean, those lines are incredible, but it would be a hell of a lot to ask him to belt it out every evening on tour.

    d.... m....

    It certainly helps that he's not smoking and drinking anymore.  He said he does 40 minutes of vocal warmups pre-show.  So he's made his voice much stronger.

    d.... m....

    @***** Devin is not allowed to fade away until I'm dead lol.  You do sometimes think though that everyone you admire is going to keep going for ever, Devin just needs a rest :) 

  83. T.... H....

    where can I buy this version??lol

    T.... H....

    Nowhere. You have to download it somewhere, for example YT. Devin doesn't mind, as he stated multiple times onn his twitter. Just make sure to buy the actual album.

  84. N.... C....

    Thanks for the upload.
