ERRA - Lights City Lyrics






The bright lights strike the gun metal grey.
Surrogate stars reflecting off of the shining vessels that carry us through the avenues of these vicious circles.
Gun metal grey, and isolation blue.
Bright lights, but the darkness sustains.
Opening floodgates to the lonely terrain.

We are so far away from home.
Those lights, that fire we follow.
The statue watches over the gated city.
We break his foundation, but his torch still burns.

Gun, gun metal grey, swerving through the circumstances of relentless strain.
It's dragging us through the boulevards of consistent pain.
Gun metal grey, and isolation blue.
The raging fire sustains.

We are so far away from home.
Those lights, that fire we follow.
The statue watches over the gated city.
We break his foundation.
We cool the fire.

Changing evolving what's inside of you.
Changing yet essentially the same.
If I exhaust repetition, will I want to stay.
Changing.
Slowly losing my way.

Lights city, where the demons sustain.
We find a home within a lonely terrain.

We are so far away from home.
Those lights, that fire we follow.
The statue watches over the gated city.
We break his foundation.
That light still guides the way.

Changing.
The light still guides the way.
Changing slowly.
If I exhaust repetition, will I want to stay.
Changing.
The light still guides the way.

  1. L.... N....

    very underrated erra track

  2. A.... H....

    Damm MN awesome

  3. J.... S....

    This song is incredibly underrated.
    Also, ERRA writes better lyrics than...honestly, any other band I can think of in the same genre.
    This and Monolith are prime examples...

  4. p.... m....

    more than 99% of world is unaware of this band ...i feel pity form them.

  5. E.... L....

    If you dig ERRA peep some old Forever Orion...your welcome

  6. W.... B....

    Thank you Sumerian records

  7. J.... S....

    Sounds like a heavy Saosin! 2018 approves.

  8. R.... o....

    I hate when there's always 1 of 1000 complaining about Jesse cleans, changing tunings, not changing tunings, or just ERRA itself... Jeez i can listening to hundred songs in standard tuning yet they all sound unique and different.
    These guys are fucking sick! No need to look for some not barely existing shitty flaws they dont even have...

  9. J.... P....

    I Love ❤️

  10. H.... E....

    This song is so good, i am going to put it on when i either gets laid tonight or rapes someone tonight, either way i am getting my dick wet.

  11. M.... K....

    Man that ending hits hard

  12. D.... D....

    they were created when Elitist was, btwn 2010 and 2011

  13. S.... ....

    i love this ep and all of Erra tbh :D

  14. C.... A....

    Perhaps the primary dichotomy is between, not black and white but rather, the grey scale and transparency; a sea of variably opaque phenomena tumultuously juxtaposed atop a spatial conception which elicits relativistic experience from a singular being.

    C.... A....

    just my thoughts on the song.

    C.... A....

    this is great hahaha

    C.... A....

    I read that in Garrison screams...

    C.... A....

    Кому не нравится из вас уса уёбков идите на хуй, надеюсь переводчик вам правильно переведёт)

  18. A.... A....

    Holy fuck this song could be a OP for an anime. That's what I love about this band, they have this intense and fast feeling.

  19. d.... ....

  20. T.... M....

  24. M.... L....

    3:00 I lose myself every time this part comes. <3

  28. F.... E....

    I see no difference from when Garrison was in the band. They still make AMAZING music!

  29. n.... ....

    4:19

    Seriously...this outro is a work of art. The harmonizing gives me chills. What an awesome freaking song. 

  30. J.... M....

    At first I hated the clean vocals and thought they ruined the band, but after extended listening I've learnt to get into them. They're actually pretty cool, adds variety to the music.

  31. P.... D....

    I literally just discovered this band 10 minutes ago, but I can honestly say I havent been this excited about anyones music since the first time I ever listened to between the buried and me.

    P.... D....

    you missed out for a long time & for a lot of stuff. but you made it. now you're safe lol

    P.... D....

    +Onsiden hopefully he's still safe.

  32. J.... ....

    Best song off of an already incredible EP IMO. And I don't know if it was intentional, but I digged that "Isolation Blue" reference.

  33. T.... W....

    Hey guys we are a just starting deathcore band, Today We Die, and we would like some feedback. We don't have any good quality material out right now but our EP drops late December, early January. It would  mean a lot if you were to check out the videos we have currently and let us know what you think and what we can do to make it better. Also give our facebook page a like. Thanks to the people that check us out, it means a lot!

    T.... W....

    An original name would be a good start...

    T.... W....

    Lol ^^^
    What a fag name! Haha you're not gonna make it, and neither am I but I realize it. Your just gonna be another band outta the many, I mean look at you gay ass Facebook page, FAG!!! Advertising your crappy shit on comments on the best band's tunes, cheap lil shit you. Have phun driving to a show 3-6 miles in phucking assbuttville playing to an audience of phucking eleven at 1am in the phucking morning.

    DUHJENT!!!
    B
    I

    Cccccccc C
    HhhH

    T.... W....

    +dejaron hermann I lol'd so hard.

  34. J.... J....

    This new screamer sounds almost exactly like the last time lol pretty cool. Didn't lose one step

  35. k.... ....

    3:00 omg, hope they play this on tour

  36. �.... S....

    ERRA never ceases to amaze me, holy shit

  37. S.... T....

    Best sing ever

  38. R.... C....

    It's more rare to find a band that keeps evolving then a shinny pokemon, but these dudes just don't stop getting better and better.

  39. s.... ....

    awesome vocals... but... for the sake of humanity... ENOUGH OF THE FUCKING DJENT TONE.

    s.... ....

    Well yeah. But no one else is complaining about the tone.

    s.... ....

    the same tone theyve had for years? an odd thing to complain about. It sounds great to me.

    s.... ....

    the same tone they, and a shitload of other bands have been overusing for quite some time.

    s.... ....

    @spagetti001 Overusing? Its a modern tone buddy... Even though its been used for a while, it is just now becoming recognized. Everyone else thinks it sounds great, so go ahead a be the "different" person.

    s.... ....

    I personally love the tone

  40. 6.... ....

    Muy buena banda.

  41. E.... A....

    buen comienzo
    :/

  42. M.... P....

    Always loved ERRA and always will! Keep it strong!

  43. A.... G....

    This song is like a big fuck you to everyone who said ERRA lost their melodic touch when they heard "Dreamcatcher" Melodies all around! Definitely my favorite song off the EP! The EP is sonically similar to Augment, but seeing as how good Augment is, this isn't a bad thing

  44. T.... B....

    I love this band with my whole heart. All of their music, old or new bleeds with passion and creativity.

  45. W.... W....

    Does anyone know the lyrics? I can't find them. :(

    W.... W....

    Look up Dark Lyrics. They got the lyrics for the entire EP.

  46. t.... ....

    Jesse definitely writes the lyrics, you can hear the new guy say isolation blue( a song off anromeda ep with garrison)

  47. B.... S....

    Two words..... FUCKING METAL

  48. J.... G....

    Such evolution from ERRA with this, jesus

  49. G.... B....

    Love the energy of this band

  50. J.... B....

    anyone know where i can find the lyrics to the album?

  51. a.... ....

    Jesse's vocal melodies are definitely becoming more varied. This release as a whole is a nice step in the right direction. Augment sounded almost exactly like impulse and even dream catcher sounded like it could be on either album. But the rest of the EP sounds like a worthy progression.

    a.... ....

    I think him doing Ghost Atlas made his singing even better

    a.... ....

    I don't know. To me, Impulse was different in some way to Augment. Impulse has these mental lyrics, which are focussed on a lot, while Augment focusses a lot on the FUCK YO EARS HERE'S SOME INSANE GUITAR RIFFS WITH EPOC BASS, like on Rebirth and Hybrid Earth. Still agree with you that they are evolving as a whole.

    a.... ....

    +appleipodtouch2g augment and impulse don't rly sound that similar to me

  52. S.... V....

    Sumerian is signing all the right bands, especially ERRA

  53. T.... A....

    I really like the groove on the verse.

  54. J.... P....

    Damn, very nice band and awesome EP

  55. N.... V....

    erra is their own genre of awesomeness.

  56. V.... L....

    Never understood why people get mad at bands that finally make it big (main stream). I am beyond thrilled to see these guys becoming a household name in the metal community. Can't wait to snag some Erra merchandise at hot topic.

    V.... L....

    Don't forget, even if they are a household name *within* the metal community, that still doesn't make them mainstream. Taylor fucking Swift is mainstream. What makes a band *able* to be mainstream is compromise. They have to cater to the *lowest common denominator*, which is something ERRA will never do (hopefully). I'm glad they aren't truly mainstream. I'm also glad they are being recognized *within* the metal community for their obvious talents.

    V.... L....

    @adtrhasfaithinme Hell yeah, they had their CD and some band shirts at the past two hot topics I've been to.

    V.... L....

    @Omni Codex I suppose so. I'm not sure what you'd consider a main stream band in this genre.

    V.... L....

    @seth vanhaelst This entire genre isn't mainstream lol. No current prog/djent metalcore band will EVER see Beyoncé numbers. Metal fans aren't dumb enough for that.

    V.... L....

    Mainstream: The common thought of the majority.
    For example the most commonly listened to  bands in Metalcore are Asking Alexendria, peirce the veil, Memphis Mayfire, can be labled mainstream metalcore. The genre itself is not mainstream. Lets relax and enjoy some erra :)

  57. h.... ....

    Does anyone else love those little guitar squeals right at the end of the song? Gives me chills man

  58. S.... V....

    That Isolation Blue reference 

    S.... V....

    I didn't know if I was the only one who caught it

    S.... V....

    whoa, you're right!

    S.... V....

    Where?!

  59. G.... ....

    Erra is one of my favorite bands but they really need to readjust the sound in this ep. The bass is so loud you can't really even make out the vocals.

    G.... ....

    Bass is important. Get some better headphones.

    G.... ....

    NOT ENOUGH BASS.
    LOLOL

    G.... ....

    i barely hear bass. 

  60. J.... L....

    Favorite band, gonna miss Garrison tho...

  61. R.... ....

    Aw man. You're skipping Las Vegas.

    I was so ready to see you guys, but then Scale the Summit cancelled the show. I was devastated. QQ

    R.... ....

    Same here. They need to come back to vegas. 

  62. a.... b....

    garison you will be missed :'(

    a.... b....

    Yeah I feel ya. Garrison had a better range. When I saw them live a few nights ago it seemed like Ian struggles with the older material when it came to highs or fast paced screaming. Hopefully as they progress he'll become more comfortable with it tho! Indeed different from their prior line ups!

    a.... b....

    @***** Argh. Alan is the boss. Really got sad , when he got kicked out. I checked out what songs he made alone in ERRA and turns out they were my favourites. Coincidence? I think not.

    a.... b....

    @internetwarrior666 You must be crazy. Garrison can't be replaced, but absolutely no one would be a better choice than Ian.

    a.... b....

    Katz Katterson which songs are you referencing?

  63. G.... M....

    Thank you guys for making the best music out there.

  64. /.... ....

    0:20

    Jeez. That first verse riff is so simple, yet so amazing.

    /.... ....

    that what happens with a good melody as opposed to alot of notes..great song

  65. S.... A....

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.

    THIS IS WHY THEY'RE THE BEST.

    S.... A....

    lol this guy ^

    S.... A....

    +Steve Aboagye Not really. Listen to Oceans Ate Alaska.

    S.... A....

    @Joseph Wellfare I've listened to them and imo they're not even close :) but that's just me

    S.... A....

    +Joseph Wellfare OAA are shit. Go home,you are drunk.

    S.... A....

    @Joseph Fosterr Ive literally went through their entire discography and couldnt find one song worth purchasing/Downloading lol.....

  66. L.... P....

    amazing!
