Burn Your Friends
Burn Your Friends
Burn Your Friends
Burn Your Friends
Living is easy
With your eyes closed by and by.
Do you wake up, do you wake up and cry at night?
The evil inside that breaks right through the light,
With hard times and long goodbyes.
Take me into your dark dream
and scream so loud this place fills with misery
Suffer the kiss
And take me out alive.
We're those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We're the suffering alive
Burn Your Friends
Burn Your Friends
Burn Your Friends
Burn Your Friends
Shadows and hearts
In which to carry your rue aloud
Can you believe we are the shock of existence now?
Something's a miss, and this generation has been found.
We're brought to the underground.
Waste me to your dark dream
And taste me until all I see
A thousand sparks
We fake love futility.
I see the rain.
We're those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We're the suffering alive tonight
(Suffering)
We're those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We're the suffering alive tonight.
This time we're coming home,
Worthless this time, this time alive.
[x8]
(We will sing)
We're those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We're the suffering alive tonight
(Suffering)
We're those things that you despise
(We will sing)
We're the suffering alive tonight.
so these are basically the most stupid lyrics i have ever heard. its a good example of music that seriously has no other purpose than to brainwash its listeners. as a listener to this music, you either like it because you enjoy the sound of the music or you like it for the band and what they stand for.
if you like it for the sound thats cool but youre basically ignoring these lyrics or not paying much attention to them. every time you listen to this song, do you care that it is telling you to burn your friends repeatedly? now many people are obviously not going to burn their friends but it is these bands that basically scare ignorant parents into thinking their children are going to commit suicide. next, you might like a song that says that we should kill every jew and burn books too.
for those that dont really think about what the lyrics mean but like the band, then it is basically ok to listen to this song because the band is good. that's bullshit. when you go to their shows, are you going to cheer as the lead singer walks on stage and tells you to repeat after him and screams outloud "BURN YOUR FRIENDS?" just because the song is good? thats a lot of what i saw yesterday at the taste of choas, as basically all of the people in the audience yelled that they wanted to burn their friend. either they are completely ignorant of what theyre saying, or they do really want to burn their friend. and both reasons are entirely fucked up.
for those people who entirely like this band, not just for their music but for the image they portray, you are twice as fucked up. you either like their image for two reasons. one, youre into being a "rocker-etc" and you like to wear black and believe that following these types of bands will leave you to be a true "rocker-etc" because they hate john mayer-hippies and want you to get fucked up in a crowd and hate the world. youre basically falling into that stereotype, and if youre down for that so be it. gothic-rockers etc hate life. and thats cool right?
or, you might like the band because you truly hate life. and to you people, you should seriously grow some balls. if you really want to burn your friend, thats nice but i think you should burn yourself for thinking that. youre a fucking idiot if you love this band for their lyrics, especially if you feel they pertain to your life. if they do, then you need therapy.
what about the band in itself? why are they like this? well maybe they know that some idiot listeners will totally buy a record with a song that tells you to burn your friend, a reflection that bands no longer care about music and that a lot of youth is fucked up. it explains why the lead singer looks like the lead singer of my chemical romance, and the music sounds a lot like AFI. two bands which reel in the bucks. but hey, maybe they really do want to tell the world to burn their friends. maybe they like having people follow this burning-friend ideology. but i dont really mind. its the listeners who are fucking stupid for making this band grow big.
so altogether, if you tell me youre an aiden fan, i will tell you this. youre either ignorant for not caring about the lyrics or youre stupid for loving the lyrics. if you think the lead singer's hot then youll basically like a skinned turkey if you are told that is what "is cool." if you like how the music sounds, then youll basically love a band started by lucifer as long as it sounds cool. and if you like this band just because youre boyfriend is into them, why the fuck are you dating that guy anyway?
and that is my main commentary on the taste of chaos. i was really annoyed at aiden and had to vent this somewhere.
