I do declare theirs something in the air I'm burning the candle at both ends Bitter Betrayals Skeleton Keys Houses to Haunt Well, it's alright by me Rags to Ruin Some fool Handy Choices Some would say, not a Ghost of a chance The Ghosts in my mind they're one of a kind they tell me what to do and its shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End of the line one door closes another door closes and now your boxed in

Feel eyes in the trees the foreboding path the turn of the head I hear it laugh it says Hang em Now It says Hang em High When you're done then, Hail to the sky

    MAN!! FUKIN AWESOME SONG!! Can't wait till the album comes out, just a few more weeks! Anyways, the meaning is freakin awesome, just one of those anger songs that's great to listen to while pumping your fists into some unsuspecting punk in a mosh pit, lol. Insane, Dez has done it again... DAMN BOY, YA DONE GOOD!

    The singer is the same dude from coal chamber, but I can't find anything that says either band stopped. Does he sing for two bands? "Devildriver" the album by devildriver was released the same year as "Giving the devil his due" by coal chamber. Dez does both bands?

    Coal Chamber is finished, Giving the Devil His Due, was a collection of songs (demos, remixes, etc), Devildriver is full time for Dez.

    What I'm getting from this song is, that its about taking the leap of faith, taking chances, those sort of things, (just what im thinking right now)

    This song is the bombshell for me, I remember waiting for the new album to come out, and then i was able to hear this song first, while hearing the first 50 seconds where its kindof slow and soft i was freaking out like "Damn they sold out on their new album, they sold out!", then the heaviness kicked in and that long as hell scream and it leveled my ass. There hasn't been a day of my life where this song couldn't put a smile on my face lol.

    before i heard this song i had a few devildriver songs downloaded but i was not a really big fan. then i seen the video premiere on headbangers ball last saturday and i loved it. It was pretty much a mix of footage from the tour they were on with lamb of god (my favorite band) in europe. The video is great and so is the song. Im buying the album this weekend.

    The intro to this song is beyond wicked, reminds me of almost Genesis or Pink Floyd or sumthin.

    When the double kick blazed in perfectly in tune with the guitar I couldn't help but learn the drumtab for this song off by heart.

    I don't see why people are lost when Devildriver start with a soft beginning, it's different. Which is good. Devildriver would be shit if they just followed any other metalcore band.

    Mint song, make sure you download Fury of Our Maker's Hand too if you're new to Devildriver.

    Anyways, this song is about someone being opressed into deadly decisions by his society. Imo anyways.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
