Skylit Drive, A - Rise Lyrics






Some days I feel like a loaded gun
I paint a target on everyone
Get off your knees cause I'm telling you
What's done is done

What will you do?
Will you run?

You think you're running away
I think you're running in place
Run!
I've never seen you this way

Do not pray for an easy life
Search for the strength to walk the line
I see a hope that's hard to find
So don't run away
Away

Some days I feel like I'm fucking done
I'm waging war against everyone
It's killing me like it's killing you
What's done is done

What will you do?
Will you run?

You think you're running away
I think you're running in place
Run!
I've never seen you this way

[x2:]
Do not pray for an easy life
Search for the strength to walk the line
I see a hope that's hard to find
So don't run away
Away

Away

This ends tonight

[x2:]
Do not pray for an easy life
Search for the strength to walk the line
I see a hope that's hard to find
So don't run away
Away

Away

[x2:]
So don't run away
Away [x2]

    ofcouse I'm still listening, this song is sentimental, I always play this to my 1 year and 3 month old daughter and she would just calm down and listen (ofcourse the volume is really soft). I hope she's doing fine now. This always leaves me teary eyed, may it be acoustic or not.

    T.... H....

  20. t.... ....

    awesome song, awesome band... i miss this guys. the old good teenage times..

  21. x.... ....

    Rip asd 😥

  22. D.... ....

    Just recently discovered this band, and I'm surprised. I'm not really a fan of most "metalcore" bands, but I like this song, as well as some of the older material that I've listened to by them. The only metalcore bands that I listen to aside from these guys is August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, and We Came As Romans. Other than that, I'm more of a deathcore guy when it comes to metal. Solid stuff here.

  23. 0.... ....

    Great Song

  24. N.... B....

    listening to this on studio montiors and the mix sounds like shit.

  25. N.... D....

    Epoy king ina mo

  26. S.... ....

    118 people have not risen.

  27. z.... ....

    쌈바 프랙보고옴

  28. J.... D....

    ASD is the best besides BLESSTHEFALL

  29. J.... D....

    I agree ppl hate for no reason it is cuz they want attention and hatred needs to die live needs to be alive ppl are dead angels

  30. X.... ....

    This song is so damn good!

  31. i.... ....

    I love this song

  32. C.... S....

    Not as good as old stuff but still pretty good!

  33. S.... R....

    i was a big fan of their old stuff back in the days, and honestly now they sound like they dont know what they want

  34. L.... U....

    i need a recomendation for a new band,got any?

    L.... U....

    ghostly and fanatic does stuff System of a down, Greenday, Asking Alexandra

    L.... U....

    ghostly and fanatic does stuff Secret Eyes if you're a fan or A Skylit Drive

    L.... U....

    Luminary Of Spheres thank you

    L.... U....

    ghostly and fanatic does stuff the band iprevail

    L.... U....

    juuzou sazuya there not that popular but try famous last words, linkin park, or crown the empire

  35. �.... �....

  36. a.... c....

    still obsessed

  37. P.... ....

    Gank do pbo

  38. D.... H....

    i actually really like the way they incorperated mikes high in this song

  39. W.... E....

    like the song

  40. Y.... A....

    Mike's sounds becomes girly at "I see a hope that's hard to find", right? XD

    Y.... A....

    yup. great. love it.

    Y.... A....

    try out some of their older stuff. very girly, but very good

    Y.... A....

    instead of calling his voice a label like "girly", lets open our mind and acknowledge that there are many guys with higher pitched voices out there as well women with lower pitched voices, which doesnt make them "manly". There are different voices out there.

  41. �.... ....

    この歌最強やわー

    �.... ....

    それな!かっこよすぎる。

  42. C.... A....

    God I love this band

  43. g.... z....

    Because every single one of your opinions matter.

  44. L.... p....

    これだけは間違いなくかっこいいよな

  45. D.... A....

    yeah...keren

  46. m.... A....

    awesome

  47. L.... I....

    is anyone else here for michael guthrie?

    L.... I....

    +LUIS IRIBE INVINCIBLE TRICKING! WHOO xD

  48. K.... W....

  49. A.... G....

    Come check out my guitar cover of this song Please =) let me know what you think!

  50. T.... !....

    why are they not with fearless any more

  51. G.... B....

    "Some days I think I'm fucking dead." Wow, terrible lyrics. Just plain shit.

    ASD bombed on this album

    G.... B....

    want to listen to horrible lyrics just listen to Attila

    G.... B....

    +Garrett Benton you didn't even get it right, lol

    G.... B....

    sometimes I feel like I'm fucking done

    G.... B....

    somedays i feel like you're a fucking dumbass

  52. g.... ....

    so what happen with the singers voice? doesnt seem like he using the higher pitch ( dont know to describe it). Did it just switch with this album?

    g.... ....

    +gidzoELITE Honestly it seemed like he did the higher pitch to try to sound like the original singer... But I dig the new sound!

    g.... ....

    Faith Adams He's the same singer since the beginning, Michael Jagmin

  53. V.... H....

    Please tell me what program you used to make this amazing video!!

  54. a.... ....

    here from madskillzkid

  55. t.... ....

    I just can't get into their new stuff, personally I think wires is still their best album.

  56. w.... ....

    oh.I like it .

  57. A.... R....

    do not pray for an easy life √

  58. A.... R....

    do not pray for an easy life √

  59. S.... N....

    my first song from them and then i listened to Bring Me A War...WHEREE HAVE I BEEN ALL MY LIFE AND WHY HAVENT I HEARD OF THEM UNTIL NOW

    S.... N....

    +Soraya Nadia their old stuff isnt really like this

    S.... N....

    +Soraya Nadia Listen to wires and the concept of breathing, its their best album

    S.... N....

    ewwww.... You're going backwards man, Those Cannons Could Sink A Ship, then listen to Heaven, then Runnin With The Light, then Ex Marks The Spot then cap it off with See You Around. That is what this band is all about.

    S.... N....

    I think his accent sounds a bit annoying in bring me a war but I still love it. Not as much as this song though

    S.... N....

    ASD doesn't even compare to their other albums, I hate to say it but they are too damn repetitive and I find it ironic that Find A Way addresses this. And honestly, Brian White's scream made this band, it is just lackluster without his voice, he was the Lead in most songs according to my ear.

  60. l.... b....

    I agree with CHI this is dope

  61. A.... R....

    rock baddast scene ever √

  62. A.... R....

    rock baddast scene ever √

  63. N.... J....

    No matter It's published on Jul 31,2013 ...
    I still love it <3

  64. A.... v....

    These guys are turning into something really good now. I can't wait to hear what they deliver with Brandon Richter as their new drummer.

  65. S.... ....

    Sorry guys, had to be the upvote to ruin the 6,666.

  66. d.... v....

    Big change for this band. And Cory leave to

  67. F.... R....

    cool song (y)

  68. M.... ....

    Prefer the acoustic version

  69. S.... ....

    This song is kinda boring to me. I know A Skylit Drive can do better. This song just seems like a let down to me. Its a good song but they could have done way better. Just saying.

  70. K.... M....

    My most favorite song of ASD. <3

  71. J.... J....

    Hey hey hey! COINCIDENCEEEEE!

  72. J.... M....

    I used to hate them with a passion but this song makes me want to listen to more

  73. J.... T....


    2+0+1+3 = 6
    2 albums by a skylit drive and skillet with the same name released in 2013, both these albums have a very similar take on their individual genres
    6/2 = 3
    half life 3 confirmed

  74. E.... ....

    He needs to learn to quit hiccuping after every line! Sings great but that's so annoying!

  75. K.... D....

    ASD don't deserve half the hate they get

  76. B.... W....

    Holy crap what happened to a skylit drive? I've been listening to these guys for 6 years now but what's up with this? I know they can do better than the generic sound & lyrics like this. The whole "don't pray for an easy life but for the strength to press on" type of quote is like the oldest line in the book. I loved everything from She watched the sky to Identity on fire, but I'm just not digging this as much. But that's just my opinion. Still a good band overall.

  77. t.... _....

    Great song to listen to if you're trying to be a wrestling state champ

  78. J.... J....

    Friend told me to listen to this song.
    Not to be a jerk, but it's just terrible.
    It's a generic "hardcore" rock band trying to pull off generic lyrics BOTDF would do. It's just awful. Like "These silhouettes", except A Skylit Drive got famous.
    For those saying it's metal, it's not. No where near it. It's a post-hardcore rock band. r-o-c-k band. The music industry is large, but god damn educate yourselves on the GENRE of music.
    Granted they spend more time with their lyrics than the actual song, I can see why so many teenage fans (guys or girls) say that they were "Saved" by this band. Or any other post-hardcore rock/emo band.

    And since this is YouTube and fan boys and fan girls don't tend to react "calmly or maturely", I know I'm going to be flooded with one sided arguments and hate.
    So can't wait :) :) :) :)

    J.... J....

    @Jao Jao I'unno, the lyrics are definitely nothing like ANYTHING BOTDF would EVER write.


    EVER.
    "S my d, pop it out like lipstick.'
    ^Actual Blood on The Dancefloor lyrics.
    Like yo I don't even know how you could've came to that to begin with.
    By this point in time, riffs are just there to be serviceable, imo, it's all about who does it better, and I really can not bring myself to hate a band for riffs unless it's -really- lazy, I.E Asking Alexandria.
    Also, don't pull the music theory stuff, makes you look like an ass in all honesty.

    J.... J....

    @DeadofPool I was talking about the general style of the lyrics. Powerful yeah, but generic. You've heard it in some metallica songs or chevel by then. Just old lyrics with a new kick. Not saying it isn't good, just that we've seen it before.

    And yeah Asking Alexandria does have boring breakdowns. Their old stuff yeah was pretty decent
    , but now? Not really.

    Musicians are supposed to bring something new to the world. We just keep getting repeats of things people have already done.

    J.... J....

    Who the fuck cares? It's just music. Metal or rock, it's a good fucking song. In my opinion at least.

    J.... J....

    @Jao Jao this is no where near BOTDF. All their songs are about sex. A skylite drive actually has meanings in their songs

    J.... J....

    @mcrkilljoys44 Yeah, you're right their. This song, and A Skylit Drive in general, are nothing like BOTDF. They can't even sing, and they sound so disgusting, If I was eating and was forced to listen to a song from them, I'd Regurgitate my food I had just eaten.

  79. K.... ....

    Fucking Amazing

  80. J.... �....

    (。♥‿♥。)

  81. C.... ....

    Didn't dig them prior, but this sounds better - more up my alley

  82. A.... S....

    Not what I expected but I like it

  83. B.... ....

    Wow, I forgot how good this song is. I can't imagine how good it's gonna be on their new record Rise: Ascension.

    B.... ....

    What are some good ones?

  84. 4.... ....

    The chorus to this song is so inspiring to me and it's so catchy ! It's so damn good

  85. B.... ....

    tremenda cancion !!!!nojodaaaa !!!!!!

  86. H.... ....

    I could imagine them doing a lot more with the music, but they're not that bad in all honesty.

    H.... ....

    They're not bad at all 

  87. t.... ....

    They still have the old screamer? Like from their album before this?

  88. J.... S....

    they sound like Boys Like Girls

  89. N.... W....

    They killed it in Charlotte, nc. The bass guitarist is in point with his screams!
