Hoobastank - Born To Lead Lyrics






With eyes closed tightly,
I march so blindly.
Pretending everything's fine,
'Cause you're there to keep me in line.
I don't want your guidance,
I'll break my silence.
So sick of asking and being denied and now I realise.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

You can't ignore me (you can't ingnore me)
You cant think for me (you can't think for me)
Your world will come crashing down to the ground,
'Cause I figured you out.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

I use to think I'm ALL alone,
But now I see our numbers grow.
I'm not afraid to break away,
Think on my own

With eyes wide open,
My new life begins.
Without you there to tell me, when, where and how,
And you can't stop me now!

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead.

    Lumines

  7. E.... ....

    Hay ya'll. I think I've just rediscovered this band. This is still great music.

  8. N.... U....

    2019 anyone?

  9. A.... ....

    Just got invited to join The National Society of Leadership and Success.

    Seemed like an appropriate song.

  10. D.... S....

    The song and its music video were used as a skin for the game Lumines II. The background voice as the Drill Instructor is retired U.S. Marine Corps officer Dale Dye.

  11. j.... ....

    Love the song, but going through life and getting older, I think the drill sergeant voice is most likely right about things.

  12. J.... T....

    So much halo2 with this song playing on my Xbox

  13. M.... B....

    Asilo político.

  14. P.... G....

    Watching in 2019 anyone?

    Né Pour Diriger

    Avec les yeux a moitié fermés
    Je marche à l'aveuglette
    Prétendant que tout va bien
    Parce que tu es là pour me montrer le bon chemin
    Mais je ne veux pas de tes conseils
    Je briserai le silence
    Fatigué de demander quelque chose et être ignoré, maintenant je réalise

    Nous tenons la clef, pour ouvrir notre destin
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger
    Nous sommes finalement libres, plus de chemin à suivre
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger, nous sommes nés pour diriger

    Tu ne peux pas m'ignorer (Tu ne peux pas m'ignorer)
    Tu ne peux pas penser pour moi (Tu ne peux pas penser pour moi)
    Ton monde viendra se briser contre le sol
    Car je t'ai découvert

    Nous tenons la clef, pour ouvrir notre destin
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger
    Nous sommes finalement libres, plus de chemin à suivre
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger, nous sommes nés pour diriger

    Je pensais être tout seul
    Mais je vois notre nombre s'agrandir
    Je n'ai pas peur de m'en aller
    Penser à moi-même

    Par des yeux grands ouverts
    Ma nouvelle vie commence
    Sans toi pour me dire, quand, où et comment,
    Et tu ne peux plus m'arrêter maintenant !

    Nous tenons la clef, pour ouvrir notre destin
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger
    Nous sommes finalement libres, plus de chemin à suivre
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger, nous sommes nés pour diriger

    Nous tenons la clef, pour ouvrir notre destin
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger
    Nous sommes finalement libres, plus de chemin à suivre
    Nous sommes nés pour diriger

  18. B.... F....

    I like hoobastank but I think this was their last really good album. Hoobastank, The Reason, and this were the only ones that they really rocked on

  19. M.... M....

    I remember watching this at 15.

  20. S.... L....

    나의 20대를 함께 했던 노래 ^^ 후바스탱크 그립네요...

  21. m.... k....

    LUMINESで知りました カッコイイ曲!

  22. S.... ....

    🤘🏻

  23. A.... W....

    Still sounds great it's 2018!! :)

  24. M.... ....

    Man first time i listened to this song, i was 7 or 8, 8 years later and i find it again. Nostalgia :)

  25. L.... D....

    If you listen closely, you will hear the voice of "The Gunny" R. Lee Ermey. From what I looked up, he was, as I put it, "reassigned". It's just sad he's gone. RIP, Gunny....

  26. D.... M....

    RIP R. Lee Ermey.

  27. T.... V....

    Nice Song 😮👏👏👏👏

  28. I.... Y....

    Who came here because of Lumines 2

  29. J.... T....

    watching in 2018 anyone?

    J.... T....

    Jordan Tiegs F**k Yeah!

    J.... T....

    Music of Rebellion; there's no better medicine for depression...

  39. k.... m....

    falling in reverse "born to lead" destroys this generic sounding song😂😂😂

    k.... m....

    screamo is shit

  40. D.... K....

  41. m.... M....

    HOOBASTANKさんで、1番好きな曲です♡

    m.... M....

    mayumayu. M Konichiwa

  42. k.... ....

    This is like the MRA anthem, fucking hell

  43. R.... D....

    Lumines....

    R.... D....

    Good songs in the second game. This was one of them. I think it was earned too early but that's just me.

  44. P.... R....

    When I was at high school, good times!!!
    Now I'm old xD

    P.... R....

    Patricio Rey Lol xD

    P.... R....

    How old are you?

  45. J.... A....

    1:07. This is Donald Trump wall lol 😁

  46. G.... ....

    NR2003 at it's greatest #1!

    G.... ....

    Groiglery1217 same 3 years after but that was my childhood video

  47. R.... C....

    Mad Max?

  48. D.... M....

    Hey a million views! Only took 6+ years. This album was so underrated and about time we get some new music from these guys. I love Dan's little zoom-in kick at 0:33 ;)

    D.... M....

    Hahaha so true. I used to listen to them as a little twerp kid. now I'm in the military and this is my moto music.

  49. C.... R....

    10 years and still my favorite album ever

  50. C.... K....

    Anyone else think the thumbnail looked like Eric Formen of That 70s Show? Hahha

  51. J.... J....

    nobody watches this any more cuz they just watch stupid pop

    J.... J....

    Hell, it's music like this that keeps me away from pop music.

  52. J.... J....

    not a very good video but awesome song ☺

  53. S.... L....

    I Was BORN TO LEAD!! See You Grunts Later HOOAAAHHH!! Awesome Vid!!

  54. C.... K....

    This song is supposed to represent the US Military and the courage veterans have showed in combat and the strength they have trying to adjust as civilian after. Who ever directed this should put the footage of the US military at boot camp. that's just me.

    C.... K....

    exactly what i thought. when. i first heard. it

    C.... K....

    is it? I really don't think it is...

    C.... K....

    Bombs Away bro, this song came out in the 2000's, everyone needed to use awful CGI just like Linkin Park! Lol

  55. P.... R....

    So much better than The Reason.

  56. T.... M....

    I read "Boom to head" 😂😂😂

  57. f.... c....

    I LOVE IT.
    such a sick song!!!!

  58. W.... L....

    You know it kinda looks like they're assualting the walls of New Vegas, don't it?

  59. B.... ....

    The chroma-key... sometimes it was quite bad.

  60. M.... ....

    I was about to leave a comment saying "This video is crap" but then I saw my old comment. See how much my mind has degraded and rotted in only one year. I'm ashamed of myself and my lack of expressive language.

  61. A.... t....

    love this song i still remember it from the last time it was played which was six years ago

  62. B.... N....

    So, is this a "male-feminist" manifest?

  63. M.... ....

    Toujours un plaisir de ré-écouter et de revoir ce clip même après toutes ces années !

  64. N.... Z....

    reminds me of Fallout lol
