LYRICS:
Now in the light of the screen you hide
Halt like a pawn in a long long line
Going up, going viral
Going up, going viral
Like we live in a world of deception
On an earth that is going under
Like we left all the truth and affection
One turn in the wrong direction
I know we cannot bring the silence back
Now the derelicts have one voice
We're on overload
As the final disease is going viral
Now, in the light of the screen you hide
From the pain that you feel inside
No one cares when we go down
Going up, going viral
Halt, like a pawn in a long, long line
As the virus spreads inside
No one's there when we go down
Going up, going viral
Going up, going viral
We are born to abide from inception
In a world that has lost all wonder
Look around, then you see
It's no doubt that we face extermination
I know we got to take the power back
The authorities have no choice
We are all aboard
When the final disease is going viral
Now, in the light of the screen you hide
From the pain that you feel inside
No one cares when we go down
Going up, going viral
Halt, like a pawn in a long, long line
As the virus spreads inside
No one's there when we go down
Going up, going viral
All the pain you felt inside you
In the light of the screen you hide
Going viral
Now the virus spreads inside you
Like a pawn in a long, long line
Going viral
Halt, like a pawn in a long, long line
As the virus spreads inside
No one's there when we go down
Going up, going viral
Now, in the light of the screen you hide
From the pain that you feel inside
No one cares when we go down
Going up, going viral
Halt, like a pawn in a long, long line
As the virus spreads inside
No one's there when we go down
Going up, going viral
Going up, going viral

[@UncleT-wo2ny]

This band is like an ice cold beer during a heatwave. What a relief to hear this song xxx

[@eugenedeckard8714]

Well yeah bro! They're from the land of molten rock & glaciers. Where scalding steam shoots from the earth and the auroras light the sky on fire, while the surrounding ocean is colder than ice! They embody the contrast magnificently with their beautiful extremes. I'm so excited they're coming back to my area in November!🤘🌋 It's been many years and I never imagined I'd see them again.

[@fadelapouit]

best pandemic-related song EVER! It does leave us with a faint ray of hope, which we all desperately need

[@tempted2u179]

kzbin.infoOtz5AAri6oE?feature=share

[@gp75motorsports]

It's especially impressive with how seamlessly it blends the very real pandemic with a warning about device addiction. It's extremely smart and creative in that regard, on top of just being a straight-up certified banger

[@ThatGuy-sw2xe]

And the lyrics getting truer every day.

[@user-vp3qc1bd1y]

How cool everything is thought up and shown in this clip. Collapse, quarantine, people are going crazy. Musicians are also out of work and in despair. And then they decide to get together and say hello, give a sign to their fans. A million likes for this idea, song and many thanks to the director for the production of the video

First listen: Not bad, not great Second, Third, Fourth, On Repeat: Screaming "GOING UP, GOING VIRAL"

[@dankourny]

That's how it always works for me with their songs when released. At first, I'm indifferent. Shortly after, I'm singing along with enthusiasm. They infuse an energy in their music that is hard to ignore even when it sounds repetitive. And there is something about Elize that I can never get enough of. She is one of a kind.

[@fountainPoison]

@@dankourny Yep. They're the good kind of catchy. You could even say...viral? 😏

[@wadimwishnewski5136]

I am many years old. I live in Russia. I grew up with the band "ACCEPT". I have a lot of respect for UDO. And I really like AMARANTHE music! Perfectly matched voices and compositions! And the soloist is very similar to one of my daughters...

[@greenstoneacn6333]

What I love about Amaranthe is they really bring back fun to rock and metal, with a vibe that reminds me of bands from the 80's. Totally different sound, but fun.

[@MetalPersonJ]

How can you say there's an 80s vibe when this band has a nauseating dearth of guitar solos?

[@BlackbirdSSR]

I feel that too

[@palpaluch3735]

Monstrously underrated...

[@AedanTheGrey]

Meditating in front of your own logo is some Kaiba energy and I'm living for it. Awesome song, awesome vid. Fucking love this group

[@anthonycrafton8240]

This video premiered the day my Granddad died from Covid complications, I had been listening to the song on repeat when I got the call. It will always be with me.

[@DudeFromWisco]

These lyrics have never been so true. I had listened to the song probably a dozen times on Spotify not realizing what the message was, but I love it even more now. hallå! from Wisconsin USA

[@anthonydalrymple]

I'm absolutely amazed by the growth of this group, They have the "it" factor in spades.... This, coming from an old guy..... Wow....

My favorite part about them is the 3 vocalists with their 3 different sounds.
