Senses Fail - Family Tradition [New Track 2008] (lyrics)

[tylerkenobster]

Senses fail is a fucking blast from the past.

3 years later, still an awesome song

[HollyChristineIris]

I dedicate this to my shitty, abandoning, drug addictted, long haired SON OF A BITCH that is my father.

[shalyncarter]

Either way it's a great song :D

[DisturbedTurtlee]

I love my father, and good music.

[shallbeposted]

[SeriousGamer2009]

Definitely their best song =)

[33Rockerboy33]

[33Rockerboy33]

@SleeperSan1 i hear you bro :/ or girl



[ratmphan]

i really like and can relate to the beginning and chorus to this song

[pyromeximike]

@L3giiTxMuFFiiNz xD nice was thinking about posting it on facebook on Fathers day

[jesseeatsbrains]

DUDE KAY COOLEST THING EVER!! so i was making hot chocolate right? cuz hot chocolate soothes meh. kay so i used an oven mit to pick up the hot water and what not and then i set down the oven mit, then i turned on this song cuz it soothes meh as well, then i sat down. then i looked at the oven mit i used and the oven mit litterally says "Family Traditions" just thought you all should know that :DD SENSES FAIL ROCK!!!

[671rojas]

can you send me the picture ? please and thank you

[theinfamousvlog]

I connect with this so much! My father used to beat my mom on a daily basis. I had to sit and watch it for 11 years...Then he died...

[zackee187]

I just want to post this on my biological fathers Facebook page. Mother fucker...

[SeriousGamer2009]

@zackee187 "biological father" "motherfucker"

LITERALLY! =P

[XmissrenegadeX]

I have a good dad. and I love this song.

[MrTROLOLOL1]

i CAN'T relate to this but its a good song

[KiDxScReam]

@crissangelfreak666 don't blame him...ur moms fault

[SeriousGamer2009]

@KiDxScReam What if his dad walked out on him and his mother, dickhead?

[KiDxScReam]

@SeriousGamer2009 he said sperm donor tho..

[SeriousGamer2009]

@KiDxScReam He was insulting his apparently shitty dad, you idiot.

[KiDxScReam]

@SeriousGamer2009 but if it really was just a sperm donor? how would he be shitty.

[SeriousGamer2009]

@KiDxScReam *facepalm* Come back when you have half a brain, would you? If his biological father had been a sperm donor to help couples who can't have children themselves, then he wouldn't be insulting his dad would he? Use your fucking brain.

[TheDieselCrew369]

1 of the 2 good songs off the album lol

[yankees10593]

Anyone know where I can get a copy of that picture

[SweetRandom123]

@yankees10593

Use the PrtSc button. Go into paint. Then, edit the image to have only that picture in it. Then save it.

Hope I helped.

[hammer289c]

I would totally buy that picture inthe background if it was a poster......that is absolutely sick!!!!

[MadZombie14]

why is it that when i look at the comments theres arguments about religion?

just shut up and listen to the music

[Rain66X]

@MadZombie14 haha sorry good point..... it annoyed me when i saw someone saying stupid things about religion and what not. So i defended it than next thing u know it kinda becomes a war.....but ur right the comments r ment for the song.

[MadZombie14]

@Rain66X ahh ok, i just thought it was weird cuz idt if the song is about religion, unless u were talkin about the bands religion

[Rain66X]

@MadZombie14 I donet know how it got brought up to start with , probaly because of what the picture says

[TheMightyKawama]

@Rain66X They're lyrics from other songs on the picture aren't they?

[Rain66X]

@TheMightyKawama I dont know?

[ProjektKidz]

@TheMightyKawama Yes, They Are

[bbyy100]

l0l@ all the comments, every1 is writing paragraphs wow get lifes?

[bbyy100]

l0l@ all the comments, every1 is writing paragraphs wow get lifes?

[Gamerbro96]

@bbyy100 eat a dick bitch

[SuperIzzybelle]

@Gamerbro96 i second that.

[Rain66X]

I really hate arguments about religion from those who are ignorant about it. ninjamonster1805 .... what in the world? Mgicnite... your a Christian but u mouth off like that? Thank you for creating such a horrible view of Christians.Honestly how do u know a god doesnt exhist. Evolution is sheer philosophy. But whatever I made my point.

[allwittynamestaken]

@Rain66X I was with you up until the Evolution part. It doesn't take a genious to see that the ones with the best traits have the most kids.

[Rain66X]

@allwittynamestaken I see your point however I am a Christian and am firm in my beleifs. So i dont beleive man came from apes. With traits, in my oppinion that is genetics. This world came from somewhere and i studied the big bang theory, what caused the bang would also 2 have come from something else and as well as that. So honestly if this life is it than life is pointlesscause were all gonna die.

[allwittynamestaken]

@Rain66X Traits are the basis of evolution. Lets say your a faster runner then me 100,000 years ago. A few girls on the African Planes see they can get fed better by sticking by you, you have many more offspring then I do and our next generation is lopsided; theres quite a few more of your fast ones then my slow successors, eventually you'll end up outpopulating my clan and now humans in the area is faster. You can believe in god as well, just don't blind yourself to facts and reason.

[Rain66X]

@allwittynamestaken I see your logic and agree however on the basis of how we are on this world a god seemed to be the only possibility of life. Because if a god is able to do everything that would include to simpily exhist and create the world. Matter doesnt make more matter but a god could. I didnt want to beleive somethin not logical however it truly seems to be the only possibility. The reason I chose Christianity is because I have studied many other religions and its the only logical one.

[allwittynamestaken]

@Rain66X don't refer to religion as logical. Nothing that has zero evidence and whole heartedly accepted is logical. Research Sir Steven Hawkins works to understand that gods are not necessary for the creation of the universe. Science can't disprove deities, only make them unnecessary.

[Rain66X]

@allwittynamestaken Steven Hawkins works only go to prove God made the world. If this Earth was closer to the sun we would burn, if it was further we would freeze. Its funny to say for those are reasons we dont need a god. Evolution is saying everything happened to work out so perfectly for man by chance. There is the Byzatine scripture which happen to be anciet which is what the KJV Bible translation came from. And plus the Bible old testament prophesy aligns perfectly with early AD events.

[allwittynamestaken]

@Rain66X I'm referring to his work on the Big Bang theory, theres about 5 other planets that could easily sustain life on them. Nothing "worked out perfectly for mankind", we made it work. When there were huge droughts on the planes we changed our diet to meat while other animals were fast enough to migrate in time. We simply made up in other ways. This was neither "designed" nor random. Simply a process in which we became the 3rd species "hard wired" to think. Maybe the 4th after all this time.

[Rain66X]

@allwittynamestaken Its an endless argument, people have different beleifs, on part of my religion i shared mine. I respect yours.

[jackdude500]

@Rain66X yes but it it the fact that we are not too close or far away from the sun that that we evolved into humans there are millions of other planets without this so there is a reasonable chance that at least one planet would be able to support life out of the millions of planets there are over billions of years

[Rain66X]

@jackdude500 Uhhhhh...im so tired of going on about this... ur reason is good. Im no pro at evolution or the Bible im 17. Thank u for bringing that up though so i may study your reason. However, scientist some scientist who swallowed there pride and confessed that we may never truly know how anything is anything. The only thing that could be self existant (typo) is a God. It is appointed unto us to learn of how we are. We should not make ourselves ignorant of either side.

[429Eminem]

I love this song!!!

[RadblasterRax]

This song is Awsome LOVE ITTTT LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!

[srala5]

Love this song. Reminds me of my ex girlfriend :o whom i am going to the school prom(e?) with.

[FlyWinkee]

this song is amazing, but it makes me cry everytime. (':

[kiwucha]

why did i only discover this now? it's my fucking life story.

[Punjabimc369]

I don't understand how Senses fail song dont have 1million+ views theyre fucking insanely good!

[ninjamonster1805]

Im an atheist too and not all of us are smart ass, dick holes, i just find it really hard to believe in an invisible man living in the sky who grants wishes.

[avschase]

Who said he grants wishes? You ever seen a ghost?

[lwownzu]

@ninjamonster1805 thats not what Christians believe at all

[xxShadowObscura]

@ninjamonster1805 for only a select few, namely the rich. third world countries were put on gods blacklist loooong ago.

[Mgicnite]

@ninjamonster1805

Who grants wishes in the sky? Lol. Thats your class -A dumbass right there. Hes against something, and he doesnt even know what its about

[ninjamonster1805]

@Mgicnite Class A dumbass? And I'm assuming you're a christian right? So you believe eating celestial zombie flesh will get rid of an evil force that was created because a man was convinced by a talking snake to eat an apple from a magical tree? Makes PERFECT sense!

[Mgicnite]

@ninjamonster1805

Yes, thats exactly it. Maybe if you actually understood the christian believe, then if you choose to be an athiest, ide have a bit more respect for you. But if your just pulling things out of your ass, and saying your right when you dont know what the hell you talking about.

[ninjamonster1805]

@Mgicnite I do know what I am talking about I went to a catholic school from about kindergarden through 8th grade. And that is the very very broad definition of Christianity, it leaves out some details but that what Christianity basically is. But whatever Im not arguing anymore on youtube, peace out man

[thehatedd]

@ninjamonster1805 enjoy hell homeboy

[PieLuvr846]

@ninjamonster1805 at least know what your talking about before you post.

[nick0rawr]

@adamska51 Finally a cool atheist thank you!

[thehatedd]

@nick0rawr have fun in hell homeboy

[nick0rawr]

@thehatedd I will and I'll see you there.

[thehatedd]

@nick0rawr i severly doubt that

[nick0rawr]

@thehatedd Don't be so sure..Noone is above God's judgement

[allwittynamestaken]

@nick0rawr the Pope apparently is, the "bible" says he is.

[nick0rawr]

@allwittynamestaken now that is one thing i refuse to believe thats like saying you are higher than God

[allwittynamestaken]

@nick0rawr now I think you get my argument except I just apply that same logic to the whole thing...

[1245shadowscythe]

why are we talking about religion? it doesnt sound like this son has anything to do with it.....

[foxboypwnsass]

@xThunderThumbsx then how come from the time that humanities bin around we havnt evolved again, there have bin little changes sure we advanced but not evolved lyk really dude. i thnk pple are so attached to the world, and there minds so trained that they cant believe in a great benevolent being, think about it the world couldnt have created it self, nor could the big bang, nor any other scientific garbage go online and look at mircal stories super natural and stop being so closed minded

[NoaDeZeeuw]

whattefuck does it matter if you are a christian or not? this band is absolutely GORGUES, both in their music and looks. i never had lyrics like this in which i recognize myself so much. 'my father taught me first hand how to be set free, give up and run away. i wish i could drain out his half of blood in me, but i'd still have his face'. goddamn, i love it.

[ZOMGMETAL]

this fucking pussy buddy needs to stop singing about his parents and fucking breaking up with a girl and maybe their music would be better..fuck this emo pussy fucking fag shit! EVA SATANAS!

[NoaDeZeeuw]

@ZOMGMETAL

why do you listen to this song then? are you so bored and you wanted to get some attention? please get a life and start listening to your metal, in stead of being this stupid. grow up.

[ChildrenOfSalemsLot]

@ZOMGMETAL i will admit they could do better on lyrics. and they need to be rock n roll if youll ever be taken seriously. and i though Skid Row was bad....

[lilricroberts]

@ZOMGMETAL dude look dont sit here and criticize them and there style they are obviously alot more talented then what you will ever be these guys made a name for them selves and this is what they r good at...and apparently your just another loser because your "hating on them" for who they are just because you probably couldn't do it look long story short don't listen to it if u dont like it plan and simple

[ZOMGMETAL]

this fucking pussy buddy needs to stop singing about his parents and fucking breaking up with a girl and maybe their music would be better..fuck this emo pussy fucking fag shit! EVA SATANAS!

[iDrummercommayeh]

i fucking love this song...

i cover it, its on my channel if you can be fucked checking it out

[MrBannnaHead]

Religeon can go way too many ways... Why fight about it? You'll never be able to make somebody see your way, so why try? Amazing, amazing song.

[thisaccountisfakeful]

@adamska51 doode thts your choice. no one suld hate on you 4 tht

[KillJoy553]

Word for word, this describes my life.

[xXForgottenFallXx]

My father was always drunk, so that's the only way I knew him. Never got to know the real him (hence the stranger part). Eventually he died of Lung Cancer, and I still have emotional scars from that day ("these unsightly marks"), and he pretty much gave up on life ("my father taught me first-hand how to be set free: give up...").

[thisaccountisfakeful]

@xXForgottenFallXx same story here :/

[xXForgottenFallXx]

@thisaccountisfakeful yay, i'm not alone.

[TheTays1993]

Come on. Christians, Jews, Atheists, Agnostics, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists can all get along and be understanding of each others' differences. That's how all of us are unique. Anyway, SENSES FAIL IS EPIC and that's what matters at the moment, right?

[HurtsWhenYouLaugh]

Jason, come back to HWM already.....

[Daycomb]

@adamska51 In which part am I discriminating the Christians, they can for all i care believe in a magic wizard that created this world with his magicwand. Nothing discriminating about that.

[pilot91]

@Daycomb i think hes just mad in the way in which you delivered the message comparing the religion to magic and wizards

[foxboypwnsass]

@Daycomb yea ccus growing from fish makes much more sense u and ur athiest scientist r too blind an scared too see the truth look around dude u really think all this beauty was an accident?

[brian27bfor3]

@foxboypwnsass science isn't an accident..... and i think aids child molestation natural disaster and other beuatiful things werent part of a plan of a god who birthed himself through a virgin jew and then sacrificied himself on a suicide mission ressurected himself and opened his arms to all those believe....but then again monkeys and humans share 99% dna...oh and just recently scientists created life by themselves..and thats beautiful. good song btw

[foxboypwnsass]

@brian27bfor3 dude science ddnt create the earth, these struggles are to help us reach purity and godlyness. jesus was put on earth to spread the gospel and show pple the love of god. and if we developed from monkeys how is it that monkeys are still around how come they havnt evolved into humans then. i wasnt born a christian dude i studied other religions but christianity is wat spoke to me made me believe maybe evolution is all u kno maybe science is all u kno study other religion.

[flyinbybrian]

@Daycomb open up

[Mayfinder]

@Daycomb Dude you are a dumb fuck. Like if you are going to talk shit about religion, or really anything, then you should know what you are talking about.

[JiMaNeYbOb]

@Daycomb ahaha truee!!

[coatsy5]

@Daycomb what makes you sure of anything else seeing as you dont have the answers? why do you have an opinion then

[bawmir]

religion and music shouldn't be tied. i dont think christian should be a genre on its own.

[luzo0o0]

Oh my God...

"Here is my own family tradition: Following footsteps into addiction. So is there a way that i can find peace, while still numbing my pain? Is this my fate? Cause your only son still cant seem to find his way."

:\

[AwkwardTurtleKsE]

The VERY beginning of the song reminds me of the solo from Sweet Child 'O Mine

[HighflyXx]

Why? Tons of bands use harmonic scales as intros.

[AwkwardTurtleKsE]

Idk why everyone's hating on this comment...you make it seem as if this is an insult (it isn't, and is actually merely an observation).

[JAMEE133]

Best damnnnnn song ever

[lolimessedup]

@ TheCDEO

bands sign to christian labels to sell there music. doesnt make em christian. its just how the industry works now.

[thomasoring]

This song just summs it all up :( My father left and i never met him. (give up and run away) My mother was a drunk (forgive me I inherited this)

The scars will never go away (now theese unsightly mark define me)

[KiDxScReam]

@thomasoring i think hes refering to scars from cutting.

[iGetOutAlivei]

@thomasoring Unfortunately, I met my father. He got me addicted to drugs, Last I saw him, I broke his jaw. He called me last night and said some hurtful yet true things about me, and I replied with a nasty comment, he stated 'Look in the mirror' I hung up, and put my face through a mirror. 'I curse reflections everyday'

This song, is so relative.

[thomasoring]

@iGetOutAlivei I feel for you. Please be strong. Make the best out of your life.

[iGetOutAlivei]

@thomasoring Thanks mate, same goes for you. Right now, I just take everyday as it is, and I love everything in my life, wonderful friends, family, great girlfriend. I can say I'm truly happy mate, its just those few nights that he feels the need to chime in.. I hope all is well with you! :"D

[brentbiker109]

@thomasoring see mine is the exact opposite my dad was the drunk an my mom left when i was 4 bt i dont blame her for anything i just blame my dad cause hes not only a drunk but hes got sckitzorphrenia too which may be genetic which pisses me off and every1 onboth sides of my mom an dad are ithe alcoholics or drug addicts except my mom an one aunt so i think im just set up for failure

[GeneralConker300]

Kickass

[Chr1s747]

This song is F'ing awesome. I barely started listening to it today and I liked the song the moment I heard the intro, Senses Fail RULES!!!

[downstl67755]

dude i cant relate to this song, and i still almost cry.

[kibis54]

I can relate to this song. And it makes me cry.

[SoyUnTucan]

Seems legit y

[TieVerse]

love this song

[vincentnguyen777]

I loved their albums from the depths of dreams and let it enfold you. With their new stuff the vocalist got a little too whiny about his life and he keeps sulking in self loathing.

[ZZZxxWAKEUPxxZZZ]

where can i get that wallpapar?????

[antman137]

I want that poster in my room lmao Great song

[chipdoodle]

i was in love with this band until yesterday< between songs he said, i dont have faith in jesus fucking christ, i have faith in myself, randomly.

[m8rix4ever]

@chipdoodle

yankeedoodle!

take your religious Bs somewhere else, this ain't the forum of God Channel!

[12cintya13]

@m8rix4ever lmao "God channel!" xD hahaha you just made my day

[m8rix4ever]

hahaha yeah,i'm really "proud" about that one

Toooo many bears perhaps

[Smittens91]

Isn't that discriminating? Not liking a piece of art that has been displayed for you just because your own opinions differ from those of the artists? I'm not a Christian myself but I still listen to Relient K, because I like the music.

[Daycomb]

Underoath are super mega christian, and I'm an atheist, or a believer in music. That's my religion - Its not about Christians/Muslims/Buddhists - I honestly want to slap some sense into people like you.

[Smittens91]

Like me? I was agreeing with you. Mine was in reply to chipdoodle up above. Yes, I like Underoath as well, even if they are Christian. I think it's wrong to base your personal feeling on a form of art on the artists religion.

[Daycomb]

I didn't mean to respond to you Smittens91, i obviously missclicked, I ment Chipdoodle - I'm all you in your point of view :)

[TheCDEO]

@Daycomb i hate how some bands say they are christian.. cause if they sound like shit no one will like them... having ur band christian wount make you sound better... btw i am christian

[SomethingNoteworthy]

@Smittens91 It's not discrimination, it's an opinion. For instance, most people that don't like "rap music" dislike it for the lyrics and for the morals displayed. That is exactly the reason I don't, and as it seems, Daycomb, don't like "religious music".

[spinball92]

wel...people have their views and opinions but you cant dislike a band for it?

[TheFunnyBob]

senses fail is the best band ever

[LazyDaisyxo]

story of my life

[treehuger1808]

I Love them!!!

[MyShatteredPsyche]

LOVE THIS SONG TO DEATH

yet my parents hate it

but they hate "you're gonna go far, kid" wayyy more

[shanonlucasfan]

[123Lalala098]

Music gets 2 me 2.

[WKmugen]

[lu684]

I cry when i hear this song. Music is too powerful :(

[soth4444]

Definitely one of there better songs...which is saying something because they ROCK!!!!!

[ilubbmymum]

Senses Fail </3 Is My Love X]

[plagueround]

This is more of a song about resentment not depression and suicide. And to say that it what makes "emo" is retarded. I dont see "emo" as a music genere to begin with it. If anythings a fashin adopted by silly teeagers who want to rebel, just like my generation was with its brooding listening to korn, the one before had metallica or alice in chains. in their days they were the "emo" dont lump music in with a music genere because otherwise you'llbe calling great bands of the past "emo" by proxy

[sexytucan]

Fucking crazy i love the intro

[screamloud56]

i saw them live but the words werent so clear. still i love this song

[arkk1]

lol yaa they aint that great live but its a fun band

[Citykitty2000]

wow, that song is amazing. I started crying when I started singing along

[pmlax30]

hahahahahahahaha

[Mooseboy240]

[niz5654]

i luv senses fail!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!

[ThePowerOfRomance]

And they think they can rip brokencyde.

[Mooseboy240]

[ratfromhell666]

[CFswimmerjustincen]

[idTAPthat97]

[TweedlePictures]

Wolves At The Door fits my future story in 10 years.

[lllrocker]

The song Map The Streets fits my story
