@rorie1996 Meddler, marianas trench, your little suburbia is in ruins, white washed, emipre. Enjoygetting to know ABR!!!!! :D

[christiepoe]

@rorie1996 all their songs rock, but listen to marianas trench, leveler, empire, internal cannon, white washed, meddler, backburner, poor millionaire = best ones imo

[B4ssGod]

[tMattLZ]

ITS... PULLING.. YOU... UNDER...!!!!

[BearGrylIs]

@tMattLZ DUDE i scrolled down to read comments and saw this as soon as they said ITS... PULLING. YOU... UNDER...!!!!!

[e46user]

Best bit from 1:27-2:04

[xjohnychristcorex]

I really need this today, so thank God for his creation with music!!!

[jkolbly1]

The lyrics don't seem to do to good in a screamo, in my humble opinion.

[ThePikpikcarrot]

@jkolbly1 Hardly screamo... It is defined as metalcore, which generally has screaming. I don't think it is screamo, though.

[twelborn3]

@ThePikpikcarrot you are correct, sir. It has to be said, b/c so many people don't understand the genres, which, admittedly, are a little muddled.

[jkolbly1]

@ThePikpikcarrot I'm not really good with music, just felt like it was screamo and saw that in the tags to confirm.

[ThePikpikcarrot]

@jkolbly1 It's ok, I doubt I'm better with any other kind of music. \m/

[SolxXxWolf]

The timing of the lyrics are perfect for retarded people :D im lovin it!

[Kill3rCory]

I'm sorry August Burns Red... I really didn't want to download your entire discography..but I really needed something good to play so my girlfriend would shut the fuck up. And that required a discography because that bitch talks TOOO much.

[PPFJoao]

THIS SONG WILL NEVER BE OLDER!

[Mariusz92]

What does the line: "You're demeanor looks like quicksand" mean?

I am getting a tattoo soon with a quote from this song, but I feel like I should know the meaning of every line in the lyrics before I do it.

[995guitarhero]

@Mariusz92 I wondered about that too. I think what they mean to say is that your behaviour consumes me, weakens me. Used in a negative sense.

[Mariusz92]

@995guitarhero

oh, okay, thanks :)

[xblackbelt3113x]

@Mariusz92 That isn't what it means. What it really means is that your "mask" if you will is falling apart. Demeanor means appearance, and quicksand falls apart quickly. So it's like you're no longer able to hide it inside.

[Mariusz92]

@xblackbelt3113x

Oh, i see now, thanks a lot!! :)

[getoverit1958]

@Mariusz92  Their demeanor,how you outwardly act, is diminishing. I always took that line to relate to someone with depression who just outwardly acts secluded or down. But you can relate it to something of your own :)

[abrx420x5]

This song saves lives, cause if i didnt listen, id kill all of u

[StayComposed]

'Kshh kshh kshh kshh' is all I hear.

[ValentineBurnedRed7x]

oops, I misread that one, my mistake :-D

[adam9nsb]

best abr song

[ValentineBurnedRed7x]

Could someone please tell me that what does the last phrase ''it's time to get some ground'' mean, cuz i'm not a master in english, and i'd really like to know. Thanks beforehand if someone does :) and how amazing that i never get bored to this song after all the years!

[mikedawgx01]

@ValentineBurnedRed7x They are meaning it as in to gain ground as one would in a battle.

[kaylapiechowicz]

@ValentineBurnedRed7x it means gain some ground as in be successful or accomplish something

[iSawTheUnseen]

I hope you know you used the wrong form of your...

[2ie1r]

im so high

[NotReal15]

ilove looking for the guy who has the most negative comments thrown at him/her and reading wat they sed that got everybody so ticked offXD imean really all this fuss over an opinion?

[jluck202]

I'm ready to go sk8 now..

[laccrosseshane]

i cant ever associate a positive meaning with their songs...their lyrics are awesome but the music just makes me so angry hahahaha

[peter6014]

yo yo



[TheJacob1131]

I took an arrow in the knee...But I still rock the fuck out to this....

[yourmomsacoolgal]

@TheJacob1131 Shake it off, someone stole your sweetroll, they say

[TheJacob1131]

@yourmomsacoolgal XD lol

[Slazors]

@TheJacob1131

I used to make arrow in the knee jokes, but then I got laid.

[xXasharawrXx]

@Slazors LOL MY DAY = MADE. but this song is tight. < 3 ABR forever.

[TheJacob1131]

@Slazors Wasn't a joke, was a fact :P

[Slazors]

@TheJacob1131

Pics or it didn't happen

[TheJacob1131]

@Slazors Damn! lol

[leaderliter]

@Slazors I used to say pics or it didnt happen all the time, but then i actually got laid...

[Slazors]

@leaderliter

Pics or it didnt happen :)

[DGKMAN4life]

every time some one asks me what type of music I listen to I play this, they usually either start bowing or explode. just saying, it's that good!

[FicticiousAnimation]

Damn. August Burns Red kills.

[PitchBlueProductions]

@forsakenparallel Shut Up And Listen To The Goddamn Song Instead Of Arguing. Jesus Christ Let People Think What They Want

[LESTAT260190]

This song helps me when I'm feeling down :')

[LiveLifeLoveFaith]

@LESTAT260190 same :)

[2MetalDude]

i don't care what they believe in. their songs have more meaning to me than about god. they give me hope abr for life

[xXxXxICECUBExXxXx]

One Thing....<3

[xEarthVeganx]

I love the way that the volume in this video is very high.

Max volume and metalcore for all the neighbors!!!

[absolutjuank]

i heard at the end it says ''it's time to get some ramen''. :P

[londonpythons716]

This is really good, but I wish it had cleans at parts :\

[Mdrubbel]

Last friday I went to them!! at the Eastpack Antidote tour!! I moshed so freaking hard ahaha but I got also hit by others and that hurts pretty much XD ahaha but it was AWESOME!!

[9409114]

@Mdrubbel no1 actually gives a flying fuck.

[forsakenparallel]

doesnt the top comment know it goes August Burns Red>As I Lay Dying>Trivium>everyone else>god

[midnighttheskitty]

@forsakenparallel I hope you know ABR and AILD are both christian bands so dont come here and say that god is less than any of those things have respect in others faiths please

[forsakenparallel]

@midnighttheskitty okay, first of all, they are known as Christians IN a band, not a Christian band, secondly, my comment had nothing to do with myself being a different religion, learn to take a damn joke once and a while.

[XxBrok3nAngelxX]

@forsakenparallel dude,they are a christian band

[jehoshqwe]

@XxBrok3nAngelxX no they arent...

[XxBrok3nAngelxX]

@jehoshqwe yah they are

[katerox729927]

I heard this song for the first time today.. And i wish i could of heard it sooner.. Cause now its my favorite song :DD heh I FRIGGING LOVE IT!!!! Its so Heavy and the breakdowns are AMAZING <3

[CNTrox]

I'm totally loving this. I'm absolutely gonna blast this on my iPod. ABR > haters. c:

[funsies1]

2:00 up is on the screen twice

[GhettoToastFosho]

I came in my pants over the 19" AAXtreme china at 1:14, so fuckin brutal.

[D3THSCreaM]

No music band will ever best this single , seriously its like a gift from god .

[TheJacob1131]

If god isn't real then how did beep boopity flip flappity gumbo chops? Christians: 0 Athiests: 0 Bill Cosby: 1 :p

[MrBmxbaby]

1:14 :D

[rs35502]

I think the end starting from 3:19 is like the best part @_@

[Njlitman]

@rs35502 What do you mean by saying 'the best part'? u mean the lyrics or you just love the instruments?

[rs35502]

@Njlitman how about both :D

[FreshKilluh]

Button up YOUR SHIRRRRRT!

[SheWroteLove1]

I'm in recovery....and I hope this song can help me.

[Josh0473]

Song is fuckin sick.

[MrMexican941]

@Josh0473 do you really have to curse??? can't you respect a christian band :P

[Josh0473]

@MrMexican941 i'm so fuckin sorry dude please forgive me, i need to watch my fuckin mouth.

[xJohnnyWorsnopx]

Suicide is better then this exhel low band. But I'm not haten I luv all metal. But dnt ever fuking say gay bands. Now ur just favoring one band tht hands with s.s fagget eadicate.

[alexcuseME]

@xJohnnyWorsnopx i lik katts their kute.

[eadicate]

August Burns Red kills all those gay bands like suicide silence and job for a cowboy

[Sk8tr32111]

i sayd 2 my break dance teacher, imagine me with this video, that's allot of windmills (look it up)

[ItsAlexBroo]

To know these guys are Christians, and yet still kick as much (or more) ass as all the other screamo bands that are atheist and shit, is pretty fucking awesome.

[megamooer12]

1. Headache time

2. WTF was that

3. I like the guitar solo and the beginning but everything else made my brain melt !

[MissingTheSOUL]

Epic!!!!!

[iGotAn1POD]

what kind scream is this??? its sounds baddasss

[Nickthebeartv]

@iGotAn1POD Hardcore vocals like death vocals but in mids

[p3as4x]

I'm not very religious, however I am Catholic. Regardless, that has no impact, whatsoever, on my opinion of this band; religion aside. August Burns Red is exactly what I need to get though my day (this song especially), because they keep me positive while pumping me the fuck up, and I cannot thank them enough. This song straight up tells me to man up, do what I have to do...and do it well.

[tonydahtank]

Can they add a new reaction called "badass"?

[shadowteamdarklol]

feel like these guys just pulled me up by the neck and forced me on...fucking love it

[16shoeman]

I love august burns red. There like having sex with a bagel that toasty and warm.... (akward)

[iThoughtUHad2Bitch]

God > August Burns Red > Everybody and Everything Else....

[goforit397]

@iThoughtUHad2Bitch August Burns Red > God > Everything and everyone else.

[michielrook]

@iThoughtUHad2Bitch Probably a typo:

August Burns Red > God > Everybody and Everything Else

[iThoughtUHad2Bitch]

@michielrook haha. august burns red is a christian band, js i think i would prefer mine better :p

[CHICKENNNNNNNNN]

@iThoughtUHad2Bitch hahah i love your name.

[iThoughtUHad2Bitch]

@CHICKENNNNNNNNN Thanks :D

[WillyBumm]

@iThoughtUHad2Bitch August Burns Red > God

[mikiro90]

@iThoughtUHad2Bitch od isn't part of the equation lol. why factor in something than is non-existential? trololol

[mikiro90]

God*

[savcmsiscool]

@iThoughtUHad2Bitch For Today is definitely before everyone else <3

[DubstopherWubson13]

@iThoughtUHad2Bitch other way around. Everybody and Everything else> August Burns Red> and then your imaginary friend ^-^

[GOTCHAsc0ped]

@DubstopherWubson13 Hey man, if you wanna go to hell it's cool with me.

[SCREAMINGGHOUL9000]

@DubstopherWubson13 Do you mind taking your opinions somewhere else? more of society believes in a god or gods and i don't feel like seeing arguments so yeah...

[cwjones0322]

@SCREAMINGGHOUL9000 How about you take your eyes somewhere else? God can eat a dick.

[kuhlhoee1]

@cwjones0322 god will handle you

[cwjones0322]

@kuhlhoee1 Hopefully not the same way he handles little boys...

[MAX102608]

@DubstopherWubson13 oh shut the fuck up. let them believe what they believe in and same for you....fuck just let people live their own lives not every fucking thing needs a comment about how wrong or right it is....fuck dude.

[lmlRANDOMNESSlml]

@Jrodtheanimegod they kind of make me want to pick up my guitar and

-learn some of these songs

[rs35502]

wave! goodbye! to the paaast! <--- best part :U

[momoussa]

If you like August burns Red check out my new song "my life is on the line. It doesnt sound anything like them. but i'd sure love you if you did!

[BrokenWorldwide]

Metalcore isn't about being violent, it's a lot more than that.

[HopefullyForgotten]

@BrokenWorldwide they why are their fans just hitting each other like retards at concerts?

[luukraver]

@HopefullyForgotten You came to the wrong place to bash moshpits.

[HopefullyForgotten]

@luukraver no no it wasnt a moshpit, i would have loved to mosh.. one of these guys hit me in the face on purpose and i nearly lost a tooth

[luukraver]

@HopefullyForgotten Well that changes things. I know exactly what you mean though. There's a lot of assholes in this world, and some of them walk around on metalcore concerts. Which just sucks, really. 

[HopefullyForgotten]

@luukraver yeah that kinda ruined august burns red performance for me. btw i love metalcore and august burns red are a really good band, and the singer is a beast on stage, i can understand why people are freaking out sometimes.

[luukraver]

@HopefullyForgotten Well yeah but that's not a very good reason to just punch someone in the teeth. I'm just going to see them tonight. I hope nobody comes up to punch me in the teeth... : P

[HopefullyForgotten]

@luukraver of course you're right. yeah you better watch out ;D but i hope it will be fine for you, so you can enjoy the concert

[luukraver]

@HopefullyForgotten That concert was freaking amazing. And i still have all of my teeth! : P

[HopefullyForgotten]

@luukraver yeah! nice to hear dude :D

[XxcoreycrowzxX]

thank God for a band like this, there is a such thing as good Christian Metal

[A7Xguitarplayer0272]
