The Art Of War- Anberlin Lyrics

[MrHearul]

Addicted.....Zomg!!! who else can't stop listening to this and keep singing the chorus over and over again?

[aj2096]

I don't like this song

I♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥this song!

[HIshadow12]

<3 luv this song

[xXIrSkeletorXx]

Thought your hands could heal, but they left me sore**************

[aj2096]

they know how to say it right!

[dennalilly]

..."barking out of my life"? Wow. You're stupid.

[TheAgy777]

damn it i freaking love the intro!!!

[BlackPhantasm]

DISLIKES???? ARE YOU SERIOUS????

[tybrettfoster]

i definitely was just at their concert tonight and was literally RIGHT in front of Stephen Christian (lead singer). one of the most beautiful things i've witnessed at a concert, EVER. Stephen Christian's voice and talent will never cease to amaze me!!

[MinorEclipse213]

wow, first time hearing this song, those words hit home in the worst fucking way, f my life lol

[Hairy106]

My favourite Anberlin song ever!

[noybever]

This song is really bad IMO. I loved Cities, and Pray Tell was my favourite song of 2010, but the trio of You Belong Here, Take Me (As You Found Me), and this are outliers. I don't mind the style at all, I love Depraved, but the chorus lyrics are really terrible.

[xVishDaFish]

@noybever

I totally agree the the chorus has garbage lyrics but I think as a song goes it's really strong. Chorus is pretty strong and catchy (if you can ignore the lyrics) and the intro is really cool. As usual the verses and bridge are great too.

I felt the same way about You Belong Here and Take Me (As You Found Me). I found the latter was the only song that really grew on me after a few listens (the first chorus lacks punch and picks up over there) and the former is still pretty bad

[destanidisaster]

barking out of my life??

"WOOF WOOFF!! Seeeee yaaaa!"

ahhaahah

[Psykotik71]

this song is so good its ridiculous

[xXximamusicloverxXx]

i saw them in concert last night. they were awesome. this was probably one of my favorite songs of theirs

[sweetgummie]

@atomicfriendo if you think they suck then why are you watching their videos? a little pointless don't you think?

[atomicfriendo]

@sweetgummie well, moron....if I hadn't watch the video, how would I know if it sucked or not?....kind of a silly question, don't you think?...anberlin sucks :)-~

[sweetgummie]

@atomicfriendo LOL no actually I think it's pointless for you to be telling us that a band we like sucks. it's not like you're changing any of our minds. instead of hating on this band, you could go to a band you like and watch them.

[atomicfriendo]

@sweetgummie anberlin sucks :)-~

[hoyaboy999]

@atomicfriendo Dude Really, I've been on like 10 Anberlin music vids ina raw and you're trolling. It's our opinion and if you're so determined to post that this band sucks so bad, you need a life. Enough said.

[atomicfriendo]

@hoyaboy999 you've said too much, actually....anberlin sucks :)-~

[Thebluebridgetroll]

@hoyaboy999 lol, atomicfriendo has been trolling on Anberlin vids for OVER three years. I've begun to appreciate his presence lol. But yeah, don't concern yourself with him.

[PrairieRockz]

@atomicfriendo I'm so gonna kill you :)-~

[atomicfriendo]

@PrairieRockz ya...sure you are...lol...anberlin sucks :)-~

[Avarayrugerjbird49]

@atomicfriendo whydont u get a life or find something to do besides hating on videos off of youtube, ur probly kid anyways n well if ur not that says alot bout you...

[aj2096]

this is such a good song damn pop fr having another vision of wat good is

[vetexx]

I guess this art of war doesn't mean to the fights in certain couple, but to the Art Of War by itself that includes a lot of things like speech, attitude, moves, even SILENCE. I knew this song just about when I read something of the book The Art Of War by Sun Tzu. Awesome song.

[phoenixgirl235]

In the second part, I think the lyrics should be "Was I the greatest in your arsenal, Or just the latest in your art of war?" I think it would make more sense that way

[aidinis50]

There are songs, I'll never write,

Because of you, walking out of my life.

There are words, that don't belong,

Because of you, I'll never write another love song.

[DreamKarina]

@atomicfriendo You're so good at what you think you do to us. :)

[atomicfriendo]

@DreamKarina seems to be working...doesn't it...anberlin sucks :)-~

[mrpatriots43]

They were AMAZING in concert! I got to see them live at Cornerstone

[xojennicutieexo]

im crying :(

[MagicalH20]

Lyrics aren't always right, but I don't need them so it's okay. I've listened to this song so many times on cd I have it memorized.

[suflokpldasdf]

God I love Anberlin.

[mini2027]

wtf is with barking i think it is walking it has to be

[StudioProject1]

few mistakes...if you actually read back what you wrote you would realise some of the stuff makes no sense...it's 'you left me sore' for a start.

[MrChristoffer46]

love this song its awesome :D

[pacersh]

It's they left me sore, not what they left me so

[blackbirdfly2010]

1 tip: just google the lyrics

But anyway, this song is incredible. I love everything about it :)

[lustlessEnvy]

@youknowwho1989

nono. not one of the best.

it IS the best.

[bowlama7]

Why humor this guy? All he wants is a reaction and he clearly gets it everywhere. Criticizing doesn't work against his type. It just entertains him.

[Arimli]

Cool song!

[starryseasforpatel]

@atomicfriendo naw, i'm just listening to some good music and amusing myself by watching you continue to deny how much you like anberlin. :D

[starryseasforpatel]

@atomicfriendo i think i may just write an essay about how much this amuses me, and about how denial affects the human psyche.

[atomicfriendo]

@starryseasforpatel wow, you're stalking me...kewl...anberlin sucks :)-~

[sexyPersond222]

@atomicfriendo do you not have anything better to do than say anberlin sucks :)-~

[codywold]

this song makes you think about the one's you love and what you would do to have them back in you heart

[X101Andy]

@codywold ya i use to listen to this when i was broken up with my gf for a month...but luckily she came back to me on her own..never letting her slip away ever again <3

[HYSM90s]

Art and Anberlin in the same title? Of course i'm gonna click it.

[oopsiSHOTtheCAT]

im just getting into anberlin and i was just skimming through songs on the album and when i came to this song i just had to listen to the whole song

[KiyoMia26]

goes right through my heart damnit....

[ZekialZ]

@KiyoMia26 I hope you feel better :)

[Daylatefriend13]

They played this song at their show last night and it was phenomenal. Well the whole show was. Well they are!

[buubuu4]

NEED AN INSTRUMENTAL VERSION !!!!!!

[buubuu4]

@buubuu4 If someone find an instrumental version ; please "pm" me, Ty.

[Firenzzo]

Best song from them since Dismantle. Repair. Can't wait to see them once they land on Philippine shores.

[Chickenpizzaface]

I hate LOVE

[23Haziq]

so good larh <3

[NathanielParonto]

This song hits me hard :( opens up my eyes to the truth i was blinded from..

[vPestilence]

Clearly can hear Walking. The "L" is sounded out perfect. Also, it's not, "what they left me so?" It's "But they left me so"

[kissyourselfgoodbye2]

Well in the lyrics I found it says barking instead of walking. Hmm... I might be wrong but I don't know, depending on what you hear I guess it's what they think it is.

[ShawnGlass]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 lol how does "barking out of my life" even make sense? i know i've decided not to write love songs because of people barking out of my life =p ... just saw them live again at the house of blues - it is without a doubt walking

[Daylatefriend13]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 barking doesn't even make sense, LOL.

[musicman2093]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 I can see where you'd hear barking, but it's definitely "walking."

And another line is "was I the greatest in your arsenal?" That's why the following line starts with, "or was I."

[PlasticAngelx]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 lol you're the same person who did the forest picture on the "Closer" video! XD

[dennalilly]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 Um.. I highly doubt he sings "barking out of my life'. It makes no sense. >.>

[Doom9494]

@dennalilly Agreed, I think iit's "Walking out my life" and "Thought your hands could heal but they left me sore" not "left me so"

Also great song! Love the video :D

[Chloeisinyourpocket]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 I don't think "barking out of my life" really makes any sense...

[MurasakiFujiwara]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 WOOF WOOF!

[necrode]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 I'm positive it's "walking", like, 100% positive. It makes more sense in context. Good video though.

[Synxthe1stP]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2 I agree with that.. Even though the lyrics say "what left me so", I believe I hear "but left me sore". Who knows what the actual lyrics are, apart from Anberlin? People we obviously don't know. For now, we'll just enjoy the song.

[xXSammysaurusXx]

I really don't like the barking out of my life line, it doesn't seem to fit.

[CutthroatLovers]

@xXSammysaurusXx That's because it's walking out of my life.. not barking.. lol

[OwlsLoveMonsters]

Went to their concert in Seattle on thursday(: What an AMAZING sight. Light show was incredible and the songs knocked me off my feet. Love Anberlin!!

[simmonspecial]

If only they were bigger in England. (sigh) : (

[ShawnGlass]

currently my favorite track. great vid but i noticed 2 times the lyrics were wrong

"but" they left me so... instead of "what"

"walking" out of my life, not "barking"

[saltynips]

but they left me "sore" instead of "so"

[mjboudx]

@ShawnGlass

baaaaaaaaaarrking oooouuut of my llliiiiiiiiiiiife!

[noname1052]

This song describes me so well. I love it. Stephen has such a beautiful voice.

I wrote a song not long ago and I would love it if Stephen sang part of it (because I hear his voice at that part anyway haha) but that will probably never happen. Nevertheless, it's a dream. haha

[jdhaist13]

This along with a few other albums actually were good enough to actually buy a cd, I love this cd.

[kissyourselfgoodbye2]

Your probably wondering why i used this black rose bleeding for the video,well i think it kinda goes with the song. You give a rose to a person that you love and then next thing you know you're fighting so it's a war and your the one with blood pain and misery while they left you and think they won the war. :)

[wildyellowiris]

@kissyourselfgoodbye2

I ve seen that photo before and I adore it i find it very poetic and there's so many meanings one can translate from it's image.

I find it fitting for this video. It has emotion.

[nba1341]

all the other art of war videos are real crap this is still the best!

[kissyourselfgoodbye2]

@nba1341 thanks!!! that means a lot to mean!! :)

[nba1341]

good stuff thanks!

[RileSum]

hhaaha barking? im pretty sure its walking

[SomewhatSaints]

AMAZING

[supercrazyguitarman0]

Atlanta November 4th! OH YES.

[youknowwho1989]

One of the best songs from the album!!!

[Telcontarx]

@youknowwho1989 Definitely agree. The way he sings this is amazing! I get to see them in toronto October 26th! FINALLY!
