Separating the Seas Lyrics

This place isn't meant for people like you
Spouting ideals for your fans to consume
You're insignificant, like an ant in the midst of elephants
You're all the same
You know you won't last forever
You're all the same
A flavor the week is how you'll be remembered
You're all the same

Pulling your so-called burdens off of your back,
throwing them overboard along with the rest
Ignoring the pioneers, insulting your peers
Did it feel good to get that off your chest?

Dragging us miles and miles through the mud,
our faces battered and bruised
We'll pick ourselves up out of the hole that you dug,
reaching and clawing to pull you under

The tides will turn, and justice will be served

"Self-righteous" isn't a term saved for the religious
The tides will turn
Justice will be served, while I carve you to pieces with my words
You're all the same
You know you won't last forever
You're all the same
A flavor of the week is how you'll be remembered
You're all the same

Your legend will fade
No one will remember your name
You're all the same

No one will remember your name (x2)

Cover art for Separating the Seas lyrics by August Burns Red

August Burns Red have been quite vocal in their opposition to the myriad of hardcore bands that have come out and flooded the market (with many of them sounding the same). To me this is their song to those bands ... those that simply follow the trend, don't try to innovate or create their own sound.

In the end if a band is "middle of the road" they will fade from existence. The hardcore boom seems to have popped a little bit, and I think we will see who is left standing after it all (August Burns Red are one of the few hardcore bands I actually enjoy because they do progress their music and innovate).
