We Came As Romans - Tracing Back Roots Lyrics
Eight years ago I committed a sin
And there were many more that followed with
Some that changed my mind
Some that broke me down
But all of them made me who I am now
All of them made me who I am now
I lived in the bliss of ignorance
And slowly sank into self-doubt
I had to answer my own questions
As I attempted to crawl out
After these years on the road
Was this really my home?
Why do I feel so alone?
Why do I feel so alone?
Why do I feel so alone?
In my chest there's a hole
I've tried to keep it full
But there's a break in the hull
Depression floods like frozen water's cold
Is this life drowning me?
I am a ship lost out at sea
Eight years ago I admitted a dream
To chase it I had to give up everything
But the things I've learned and the things I've found
All of them made me who I am now
All of them made me who I am now
After years on the road
It was never my home (never my home)
After years on the road
It was never my home (never my home)
My home is in the words you sing
Every letter of the notes you bring
Every story you tell of feeling alive
When you hear these words
And you change your life
You change your mind, the way you think
These words last forever on your skin in ink
(Oooh, oooh)
My home is in your heart
[x6]

Get so emotional when Kyles chorus starts. Miss you so much man 😭😭
Rest in Peace Kyle
Res in peace kyle.
rest easy, Kyle. we miss you so much..❤
Does anyone know of/know what happened to the original video for this song (it didn't have lyrics.) Please help!
i love you Kyle3
Great music lane video
Rest easy Kyle. 💔🥀 I love you.
Guys started to tear up when he said my home is in your heart I miss you Kyle only 1 year younger than me I really miss him rip Kyle still so very sad
MY HOME IS IN YOUR HEART
Man you did so much for so many people. You changed lives. Your vision for this world is not dead and it never will be.
Your home is now in our hearts, Kyle
My Home is in your heart
Wow. I remember being up front at a show and when Kyle started singing, I reached my hand out to him and instead of high fiving me, he held my hand until he finished the song. I remember that night was one of the best nights of my life. I will really miss Kyle. After meeting him I can genuinely say how kind and funny of a person he was.
Rest in power kyle. Youre so very missed. Thank you💔😭
Your home will be forever in our hearts Kyle, we love you. RIP man.
Man, this is sad as fuck. Fortunately I had the chance of seein' them live in 2016 in Rio - Brazil. R.I.P. Kyle!! you will be missed.
Words can't describe how impactful his lyrics were...You helped me through so much hell. Rest in peace Kyle Pavone. You are a legend now, "Your home is in our hearts."
I literally just listened to this song on friday night and woke up on saturday to the news of Kyle's death... I'm incredibly heartbroken. You will be missed, rest easy dude
I've always interpreted this song as Dave's discontent with the road life, and that Kyle's portion is reassuring Dave. Through that lens, there's so much love in this song and as a band as a whole, which is what they have always been about. The familial love that they have has never wavered, and that's what has been most refreshing about this band. Although it's not much solace, I sincerely devote my condolences to them for the loss of Kyle . WCAR forever.
RIP Kyle
RIP Kyle. I still loved your vox dude.
RIP Kyle :( My home is in your heart
RIP Kyle Pavone . ur home is in our hearts :(
My home is in the words you sing
Every letter of the notes you bring
Every story you tell of feeling alive
When you hear these words
And you change your life
You change your mind, the way you think
These words last forever on your skin in ink
Thank you Kyle Rest In Peace.
Fuck drugs man ... ADDSD ( All.Drug.Dealers.Should.Die) we love you kyle you'll forever be missed and never forgotten , you will never fade away . 💯
Rest in peace, Kyle.
You change your mind, The way you think
These words will last forever on your skin in ink 🎶😭
Normally I'm not following this band so much. But the news of Kyle's passing got me back to this song... Missing the good old time. Rest In Peace Kyle
Probably my only fav song by them but RIP Kyle
You'll be missed Kyle. Thanks for being part of something so beautiful and bringing so much happiness to people's lives. <3
#DonSoloForever
RIP Kyle 🇧🇷
Kyle's part in this song get's me everything. You will always be in my heart Kyle <3
Your home is in my heart Kyle, and that's where it will always be, the rest of We Came As Romans too. I love this band beyond words, and their songs have always been an important part of my life. My deepest condolences for the loss of a brother, best friend, band mate, idol, and an amazing musician. Though he may not be with us on earth, his voice will live forever in his music and continue to leave an impact on people's lives, and on mine too. Rest in peace Kyle Pavone! Your words will last forever! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just here for the clout. Rip Kyle Pavone
Kyle 😢
RIP Kyle ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rest in peace Kyle... We will miss you... <3
This and many of their songs would be epic without the clean vocalist, his voice is quite monotone and boring
Well... that was not a smooth transition from screaming to clean vocals
wow😰 fantastic!
dafuq man... The song was amazing... till kyle's part began -.- damn, that was really unnecessary(more than my comment...)
Kyle's part is amazing!
I love Kyle part so hard.
+Britanny H It's the best!
One of my favorite songs
These words last forever on your skin in ink.
Stop bashing on them! They are all amazing together.
ахуенно
The text is just awsome :3
My favorite song by them , my soul got linked to the lyrics .
My home is in your heart ❤️❤️
216 people r insane
This is beautiful. Awh. ❤❤
I dont get how everyone hates Kyle and loves Dave. I like them both together. Think how this song would sound if Kyle wasnt in the song. I dont think that Dave could sing "My home is in the words you say" like Kyle does and get the same effect. These guys are my all time favorite band and without Kyle, I don't think they would even represent the same band. If you look up WCAR in Google, Their Genre comes up as "Melodic Metal-core". Without Kyle they would be just "Metal-core."
The thing is that the term "melodic" comes from the melody of the guitars and instruments not voices. Also, kyle is just a umique voice, no talent in there, just unique. Dont get me wrong i love them as a band but lets face it, he is just unique, not good.
Joseph Stigall so true man
Damn straight man! Rest in peace Kyle, you were an amazing vocalist. And all your fans knows it
Yeah the band doesn't sound the same without Kyle but Dave trys his best to sing everything rip Kyle pavone
I have a cousin that its going thru hell, his life is in ruins because addiction. I wish he listens to his heart like at the end of this song.
I want to have his T-Shirt 01
this is out of conrtol now thats is awesome
this is so bad
I really hope this video didn't just ruin this song for me. One of my favorites from them but this video is horrendous. Their others are also, and whoever is producing them is doing this band a huge disservice...
learn english with "WE CAME AS ROMANS"))) u r great band, guys
What is the name of the screamer the one with the blond hair ? Im new to this band sorry :c
David Stephens. Be sure to check Wikipedia or another site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Came_as_Romans
This band is amazing! The lyrics the sound and the meaning of their songs are amazing.
Those are some great lyrics
Never understood, why they need a second vocalist, from acoustic videos I've seen, screamer can do some great clean vocals too!
@Oskars Maceiko Yeah, kudos to Kyle, but I'd like to see Dave go do some independent work... One of the best singers I've seen in newer bands.
@Tim Ramsden Kyle was always using auto-tune so sounded terrible love. In the newer stuff they have written it'seither no auto-tune or barely any. He sounds a lot better live now becaus ehe can actually hit his notes. David is still my favorite though. He's a beast especially live!
Dave is a good singer, but his voice belongs with Kyle's, it's like both their voices have sex and make the most majestic thing known to man. WCAR wouldn't be the same if either of them left
Man, in live, that is not so easy XD.
Now the clean vocalist is gone forever. RIP Kyle Pavone.
to me this sound like texas in july
waiting for ignorant people to comment
lol. I'm just going to ignore this comment, so I guess that makes me ignorant.
Thats a great fucking band
2:20 this part ruin whole song to me
really? tbh that's when the song got really good to me :p but i guess some people like different aspects of this band which is good
@RushProDz Yeah, I don't like vocals like this and I also think this song just don't need this clean vocal part
00.39 is that the Skype sound when one gets a message?! :D
Dude that's exactly what i thought LOL!
@julian vrieselaar haha! Great minds think alike :)
Love it.
Bored?, ADD?, lonely?, try following this.....
Eff these pussies
i think it sounds great
the best lyrics ive ever heard ♥
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Matty Mullins
Nopeeeeee
Almost exactly
Except Matty Mullins is cooler. ;P
It had to be said! ;-)
@Davis Waters maybe, but WCAR existed before MMF :)
day by day i hear this song...fucking awesome every time...
one of the best songs in this world ♥
Everything was good until 2:17
They aren't Christian they've said in interviews, they just have positive viewed lyrics. They're amazing and anyone who bad mouths wcar probably loves faggot bands like pierce the veil and of mice and men
I love the intro. Still like the rest of the song but they lack emotion, you can tell they don't feel what they're singing about. Oh and I hate his vest
It's probably because they don't write the lyrics, the guitarist Joshua Moore does. So they aren't as attached to the words as he is.
Watch them live then. Trust me, they do feel what they sing about.
This song is actually sick
"But there's a break in the hull
Depression floods like frozen water's cold"
This part hit me bad...
love how most of their songs ESPECIALLY this one is so relate able to every day life
I've listened to them befor e and I showed my mom and she's like I don't like them but now I come back and find out there a Christian screamo that makes me happy.
"screamo"
ohgodwhy
They aren't christian, and there's technically no such thing as "screamo"
there arent christian the lyrics is how you take it. christian isnt a genre, genre is a sound.
i get cancer
I haven't listened to these guys since the release of Understanding but WOW do they sound different now. This honestly gives me an Abandon All Ships vibe; like, the NEW AAS.
anyone else wonder what the sin was from 8 years ago? o.O
Yes, the guitarist/ song writer giving up everything, Family/friends etc, just to spread a message to kids that give his music a chance know there is Hope in life!! He wouldn't be were he was at with the support he has gotten thus far !! If that doesn't make sense, Then look it up urself. Hope it does help :)
wow i never knew that, and i couldn't find answers for it anywhere. thanks for answering !
Ur welcome man :) anytime. Anymore info u need on them, I can answer as much as I can for ya :-) just hit me up
@Timmy Scott Do you know what all they've released in terms of older material? Like EP's and Demos and stuff. I really like their old sound, like on the track "Colours", but there are a few versions of the song.
I still thinking THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER
the sounds coming from the the instruments are jumbled and out of place. it sounds like they put a bunch of sounds in a hat and picked them for this song at random. also his screaming is just fucking obnoxious.
@Chris Cartwright
It's the plugged ears that make everyone look the same to me..
@Whycantit Bedifferent You can blame mine on Blink-182 lmao I started stretching my ears when I was 14 in 2004 because I wanted to be like Tom and Travis x)
@Chris Cartwright
Oh so would you say it started in punk/ metalheads? I thought it started when techno got the mainstream xD
@Whycantit Bedifferent Hahaha I think that's when it blew up (the techno stuff). I was considered a dumb "skater" back then when I started *shrug* lol
@Chris Cartwright
Lol ok I think it's the skater look idk but I see rockers and techno people having that skater look so I was just like wtf Dx well by skater look I mean tight pants and plugged ears I may be wrong ha
178 people don't have roots.
@David O' Connor is right. At one point I could have sworn this band was Christian with their lyrics. Easily the best band.
2:17 over and over again <3
I know, right? it's perfect!
Honestly, i'm not much in that part.
+sakura6zeros YES! I made a cut from the mp3 and put it on repeat xD
I want to hear a song from we came as romans ft Northlane (band that did quantum flux) or vice versa
my 2 favs right now and ive never heard a 2 scream duet which could be badass
issues ft. fronz, i see stars ft. danny worsnop.
@Connor Brady They did songs with them :)
from 0:53 to 1:13 he just made the whole song with those lyrics
Yeah definitely, you have to look in the right places, one of my favourites at the moment is Sylar, Vanna and I am abomination you should check them out really good bands :)
Lol ya i'll have to agree with you on that ever since metalcore/post hardcore has gotten popular because of bands like Asking Alexandria the music has taken a step back and post hardcore and metal core in general has become extremely generic basically just copying Asking Alexandria note for note which is why I started listening to the older stuff because there just aren't that many good bands now a days with the exception of A Day to Remember, We Came as Romans Miss May I .
Yeah, Theres always exception where a band borrows certain features from other genres and incorporates them features into their own sound thats the beauty of underground music such as metalcore and post hardcore, until recently there has been no commercialization but bands such as pierce the veil and sleeping with sirens have changed that. Bands like that are destroying the scene. Discussions are the way forward :)
Damn bro
you're right, this is post-hardcore music dipshit
Good point, in fact now that I look at it your right metalcore is entirely screams I was wrong good points sir. And yeah I never took this as an argument more of a discussion I wish all youtube conversations were like this lol.
It terms of Miss May I, I would say they are somewhere in the middle between post hardcore and metalcore, but as always with music (apart from pop) bands bring something different to the table whether it be a unique blend of genres of certain aspect of their musicality. Oh and by the way don't take this as an argument of insults, like 90% of YouTube discussions, take it more as an adult constructive discussion.
I would say they are more metalcore with a bit of melodeath. They aren't really as heavy as other melodeath bands (In Flames, Arch Enemy, and Shadows Fall) so that's why I say their more metalcore. I'll argue this if there are no cleans in metalcore does that make Miss May I post hardcore? And yeah I forgot about those bands and unearth my bad.
