Senses Fail - Coward (w/ lyrics)

[whodafuckfarted]

Because your favorite band in highschool

Only continued to get better after your lame ass stopped listening

[julissac5]

Warped 2012!!

[KosherMeatsack]

why is the screaming so different on this record?

[edwardexecution]

@KosherMeatsack cause he got shit loads better :)

[laurasam1]

That burning building gives me a strange urge to play bad company 2 lol

[lippizim015]

this is post-hc

[AltairPK23]

I love this fu&& awesome

[671rojas]

its weird how such a fucking hardcore song can make me feel so good !!

[Silversun15]

This song is not about God or Jesus. It's about his alcoholic father who walked out on him and his mom

[20accadacca]

Amazing album!

[Stephie7932]

i feel like a different person after hearing this track.

[NinesTempest]

I thought they still had religion in a lot of his songs; a lot of Still Searching seems pretty specifically religious (such as rapture and the mention of confessiosn in Calling all Cars), but really, I think some of these songs have a few connotations.

[poppers3]

hes not bashing jesus is he?i mean dont get me wrong,i love senses fail.

[t3pr0zwicki]

@poppers3 Yeah he is, why do you give a fuck? He's not writing songs for you, he's writing songs for people to relate to and there's a lot of people do don't believe in Jesus or have turned away from him.

[ShadowHunter2370]

@poppers3 Well...not in this song, this is just him lashing out at his father for how he treated him and his mom. If you listened to Still Searching, the songs The Rapture, Every Day is a Struggle, Can't Be Saved, and The Priest and the Matador are him attacking religion. If that bothers you, don't listen to that album.

[MrMegadener]

I'm listening this song for the first time and I'm crying , the lirycs, the music , the message everything is perfect for me! this song totally express the feelings I have about my dad, I LOVE SENSES FAIL and I always will

[hammyl0ver]

best song on the new cd.

[VelaStorm7]

My innocence you devoured, YOU FUCKING COWARD! maaan this sent chills down my spine!

[thachosen345]

i might be a Christian but man i love this song

[dako1995]

i was scared that the new senses fail album will be suck like new papa roach album,but im fucking happy now,because "The Fire" is kick ass

[NUMBERRR11]

This song is not about Jesus, he says with rage, "Jesus Christ", because he is referring to his father and how badly his father fucked up his childhood

[NUMBERRR11]

This song is not about jesus, he just says it with rage referring to the fact his father fucked up his childhood

[rattymcrat99]

buddy basically takes my life and describes it better than i ever could hope to

[mymindkillsme]

god. ive listened to a few songs on their new album & some are pretty amazing, but this one hit me really hard. its perfectly described about my mom & what shes done to me. great fckn song. amazing album. if you dont like it, jump off a bridge & learn what REAL music is..

[diggy828]

If you don't get goosebumps with every song to this album, you should just turn it off and listen to something else. no band can touch every heart string like buddy can, it's a shame people are too busy knocking the albums after Let It Enfold You to realize how amazing each one has been.

[derrk]

Not their best album but it was pretty good. I was counting down since waiting room was released haha

[halo1221]

the lyrics to the breakdown, they just reach out to me..

thats what my life is about now.

[salukistyle]

Is it just me, or does the intro sound like "lungs like gallows"?

[Dysapera]

@salukistyle I was wondering about the same!

[lobo7670]

i raped the like button

[EKTIonCharge]

The start reminded me of Lungs like Gallows

[AnthonyFamiglietti]

@EKTIonCharge That's the first thing I thought, I came to youtube to see if anyone had commented on that and you had. Those first few seconds I thought they were going to redo it...

[EKTIonCharge]

@AnthonyFamiglietti At least this song turned out superior.

[thewillis716]

This song just raped my ears, and i liked it

[AngelzOfKaos]

1. This is about his dad. Like many of his songs.

2. If you knew where they got the name "Senses Fail" you would obiously know He's Atheist/Agnostic.

3. Supporting #2. If you've listened to "The Rapture" You miiiiight just think he hates religion.

4. This is the greatest band in existance. Buddy is a legend.

5. The only genre I can come to think of when I hear them, is Life Saving.

6. Don't trash them if you don't like them. There still doing something you could never do.

7. Read #4 again

[AngelzOfKaos]

@AngelzOfKaos Obviously* I corrected my self. Don't bother correcting me.

[Gnawliryc]

@AngelzOfKaos to #4, #6, and #7, i say amen

[dalisapprentance]

@AngelzOfKaos The name 'Senses Fail' comes out of Buddhism. You have to have all of your SENSES FAIL to reach Nirvana. Just sayin'.

[AngelzOfKaos]

@dalisapprentance Buddhism is more of a philosophy than it is a religion. Also Buddhists do not mention a 'God', therefore the Philosophy of Buddhism is intertwined with Atheism. And yes, the name is from what must happen for one to achieve nirvana.

[shamfyre]

@AngelzOfKaos I agree that this is about his dad, but:

1. They got the name from Buddhism, not atheism.

2. "The Rapture" isn't about how he flat out hates religion. It's about him struggling with the faith he grew up with.

Just saying.

[abashore17]

@AngelzOfKaos

1. Senses fail actually come from a term in a religion I can't recall at the moment but it means that you must rid all of you senses to feel the highest power of god with no distractions... He may be atheist but Idk if "Senses Fail" should be your proof for that..

2. Read your #4

[AngelzOfKaos]

@abashore17 Buddhism is more of a philosophy than it is a religion. Also Buddhists do not mention a 'God', therefore the Philosophy of Buddhism is intertwined with Atheism. And yes, the name is from what must happen for one to achieve nirvana.

[t3pr0zwicki]

@AngelzOfKaos Well which one is it then? If you know him so well why are you saying he's one of two very different philosophies (atheism and agnosticism)?

[JBlondeJ2]

@AngelzOfKaos love how im not atheist but I'm in love with this band XDDDD

[plays0with0knives]

it's not about religion at all. from what i've listened to of the album so far, the whole thing seems to be one huge middle finger to buddy's dad.

[1justbeatit]

@plays0with0knives THERE YA GO! Thats pretty much it.

[invaledcode]

@JOSHroolzd00d well, its a fact that he hates christanity. he follows up on eastern religions like budda and shit like that. but hes probaly an athiest. and im sorry i spell so bad. haha

[ThExXxaLiSoNxXx]

Best album ; and I love songs that come from a deep feeling... Like if this song is about his dad , or Jesus, no matter what it's got a powerful feeling and meaning ; That what's makes this song great!!!!!!!!

[NickkMTV]

<3 love this album

[Galactakor]

This is the best song on the album, and this is their best album. So their best song out of all their songs?

[Azhdeen2]

The intro is similar to Lungs Like Gallows xD

[jsh020]

holy shit this is without a doubt there best album

[AcrossTh3Universe]

I'm pretty sure he is actually talking about his dad. Another internal struggle Buddy has. Maybe you're right tho, it could be more metaphoric for lack of faith.

[TheGNards]

@AcrossTh3Universe I never thought of that! Now listening to it again in that context it does still make sense. "What do I get for being your son? Nothing!" I interpreted that in the context of us being "Jesus' sons." And yelling the quoted line I gave before "Jesus Christ" could easily be more a statement of shock than it is calling out Jesus. Very interesting. Thanks for the input! I still greatly respect the lyrical prowess in this song

[jsh020]

@TheGNards shit yah. i can totaly see that.

[GottaPlayWarhammer]

@AcrossTh3Universe

I thought it might have been about his father as well, but the part where he says "it' s my only choice, because you'll never come" makes me wonder if he is speaking to Jesus or not. But he does clearly have  problems with his father, so i don't know! and i think buddy probably made it that way on purpose!

[ROFLcopterofdoomthe3]

@GottaPlayWarhammer I think him saying he'll never come is because his father abandoned his family while buddy was young (basing this on the context of the rest of the song as well as other SF songs), so he is calling his father out and talking about the abandonment issues and how he has to forgive or forget and either way he must move on.

[whiteboy3299]

im prettty sure its about his dad listen to their song bastard son...explains alot

[FreeHat7]

@whiteboy3299

Why would buddy be talking about his father if his mother is the one that left him when he five? He said his father was an overall ok dad.

[GregTheLucas]

@AcrossTh3Universe Didn't know you were his therapist...I thought it was just a song. Since when did every song have to actually mean something? People these days....

[samaramasexpot]

@GregTheLucas

not every song has to be something

but this one CLEARLY fucking does.

lmao.

do you know anything about this band?

[GregTheLucas]

@samaramasexpot

Yeah, that's what they all say. I guess yr the genius though! What do I know? I just enjoy the band and their lyrics, unlike you and the rest of the fuckin' world. If you watched the interviews he said the songs are written so other people can find a meaning for themselves. So...what were you saying again? xD

[samaramasexpot]

@GregTheLucas

/facepalm.

sir,

i was commenting on you saying that this song was written with no meaning, when clearly it has a meaning to buddy. a very potent one. now as for him saying that others can find meaning. obviously. my father didnt walk out on my family, but i find this song very meaningful in other ways.

so contrats on completely contradicting what you were saying in your other comment.

[EverGreenPhones]

@AcrossTh3Universe So correct.

[TheCrazedGuitarist]

@AcrossTh3Universe I"m not so sure he's talking about his actual dad. Both of his parents love him. I think he's trying to sing a song that connects to any of his fans that have terrible dads....or any family member really. But I'm not sure.

[kanescud]

@AcrossTh3Universe Absolutely right. Lines like "I'm afraid I'll be like you one day", "your own daughter barely knows your face" and "everything you passed down to me, the stiff right hand, this fucking disease" all point to this...

[vibrato101]

@AcrossTh3Universe LOL that's funny

[reddrumhead85]

every needs to buy their cd

they need and deserve your support 

[senSedative112]

@reddrumhead85 this I agree with

[TheGNards]

This is probably my favorite song on the CD. So much intensity and hatred! I think it's a man's internal struggle with his faith. His screaming lyrics are calling out Jesus for being a coward and letting down humanity. "Jesus Christ, look what you've done. Abandoning everyone that you should love, you fucking failed me." Those a quite possibly the most intense lyrics I've ever heard in my life!!

[badtiming]

@TheGNards hes def talking about his dad in this one.

[1justbeatit]

@TheGNards Eh actually that verse only he is calling out jesus letting him down with his father. The song itself is about his father, but i suppose you could make out of it whatever you choose to.

[zebromofo]

LOVE THIS!
