LYRICS:
Sometimes it's best to keep it all in.
Words carry no weight if the sincerity is questioned.
The kindest compliment can do the most damage when all it does is form an illusion.
Trapped inside an inflated sense of self worth, it will explode leaving nothing but the burns.
It will only get worse as it leads to hurt.
If there's no meaning there will be no inspiration.
Another missed chance at molding aspirations.
Don't look away from their eyes.
Everyone needs a restart from time to time.
Don't look away from their eyes, as you push and teach and criticize.
Let them fall.
Let them fail and feel the stings of failure.
Don't look away from their eyes.
A mistake is a chance to grow into something stronger and bolder than they may know.
They’ll learn to stand on their own.
They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth.
Don't throw the lifeline if no one calls for help.
They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth.
It means they're navigating for themselves.
Becoming self-sufficient is one of life's biggest missions.
Conflicts and stumbles are just obstacles towards making their own decisions.
Have more faith.
They can battle the elements.
Have more faith.
Don't be the detriment.

[@Athenascars]

the outro can be elongated for four minutes and converted into a whole song and will still be one of the best songs ever heard

[@graff9461]

cant get it out of my head no matter how hard i try

[@amados68]

Hell yeah. It's powerful as fuck.

[@treypurcell6997]

FACTS

[@benliftin4awhile]

Absolutely

[@TenaciousJoe24]

"Becoming self-sufficient is one of life's biggest missions" Amen

[@travisamazingable]

that ending riff at 4:14 is so beautiful this album is tied with constellations for me

[@ThBlueSalamander]

This entire song is riffgasm

[@Variantself]

This outro is heaven.

[@adrianrodriguez21]

I cannot get enough of that outro. Bravo, Dustin. Bravo.

[@christianeisenbarth3654]

that and everlasting ending! hes a genius

[@benliftin4awhile]

@@christianeisenbarth3654literally my 2 favorite songs from them. He needs to do more writing.

[@KevinCorkran]

Dustin's songwriting is so goddamn good. those lead parts give me life.

[@MrMalibujunkies]

Yeah, his song writing is INSANE. And I like Matt's lyrics as well.

[@davidmarsh9386]

Mike Taylor Lmao

[@alextownley9388]

I always thought Jake wrote all of the lyrics 😳 lol

[@neilkennethofficial]

@@alextownley9388 Brent and Matt do the majority of the lyrics. Jake sometimes contribute in a few songs.

[@Sound0freason]

I can't handle the ending. Everything about it..it's completely wrecked me in dumb-struck awe.

[@JoelWatson-Exist-Dissolve]

You summed it up perfectly!

[@WithoutAChance64]

"Okay this one is gunna be my favorite song!" (Listens to next track) "oh shit no this one is gunna be my favorite!" (next track Plays) "ohh!!"

[@frank1nbeanz]

WithoutAChance64 no bad song and no favorites, they all are

[@gusdeharista5826]

WithoutAChance64 this comment “ohhhh”

[@Athenascars]

you got it right! haha! this is how my music world works in one comment

[@BurningUp99]

This is a great album yeah it's hard to pick a favorite.

[@bfeindel]

That outro has got to be one of the most delicious outros in all of outro-dom

[@christianeisenbarth3654]

that and everlasting ending!

[@shadowsmustfall1]

some seriously sick riffage

[@josuecervantes5592]

Agreed

[@Athenascars]

I thought the outro in "Beauty in Tragedy" was the bomb. Until I heard "Lifeline"

[@Arilover-es4gr]

Most lyrical song tbh from this album "words carry no weight if the sincerity is questioned" "compliments can do the worst damage when all it does is form an illusion" straight poetry I got chills just from those lyrics

[@rightwingnpc1827]

It's so sad that they never played this masterpiece on a live show. For me, it's easily their best song.

[@Looktowardsthesky]

That have more faith line brings me to tears...it hits home damn good

[@ppl4truth]

It's all about faith bro

[@airfreak1010]

Yeah man it did as well it hit extremely hard for me as well. That outro brought me to tears.

[@123risekenny]

this is the metal band you bring home to your parents, the leads are so good even non-metalcore fans can enjoy

[@jlb9577]

This is one of the best songs they’ve ever produced. Both a lyrical and technical marvel.

[@coreyc2488]

Songwriting in this is absolutely incredible and holy shit that outro at 4:13

[@yosef79]

From there to the end has got to be one of the greatest pieces of music ever written!!

[@justindade9560]

Phantom Anthem is a masterpiece. Right behind Messengers IMO. Well done, boys.

[@brandontyler5621]

Justin Dade YES

[@JEsterCW]

agree

[@Mattallica13526]

I would say found in far away places is better than messengers overall but this new album is just such a fucking banger!! Nothing beats it

[@labermichnichtzu8003]

Constellations beats Messengers anytime, but both are over the top albums no doubt

[@Scotchism]

I don't understand the Messengers hype. It's good but I feel like people are blinded by nostalgia and I guess it helps that I discovered the band post Messengers, during Constellations. This song alone is better and more creative than anything on Messengers.

[@tMatt5M]

The outro jam is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.

[@erickalvarezmorante5411]

I love August Burns Red

[@dylanbpf1011]

I'm a drummer and I might be partial to that part of the music but why isn't anybody talking about Matt Griener, absolutely amazing! The whole band is great but in my opinion Matt's drum parts make the band for me

[@rossh2386]

Everyone knows he is a God tier drummer from the early days

[@joshuahpatterson2959]

He's been the GOAT since day one. If i remember correctly he started the band and they practiced in his parents basement in hs. Matt is incredible live and writes all of his parts out before playing them which is insane.

[@yosef79]

This song is just proof again that Dustin needs to become 2nd lead guitarist beside JB. Listen to the harmony leads in this production!! Let Brent keep pounding out the SOLID rythm, and find a new bass player. ABR=NEXT LEVEL

[@benliftin4awhile]

This whole album is probably my favorite, with my favorite song being everlasting ending, these songs have saved my life some days, this song is absolutely huge to me.

[@masterkenway7259]

The true message hidden within the entirety of this already amazing album is this, The awakening an transcendence to a higher understanding and reasoning called Consciousness. Notice the center of the flower on the hero's skull, It's the mind's eye, open, but at the cost of knowing, feeling and understanding pain and our hidden truth. It's a hell of a challenge to tap into it, but if you do, you'll know. \m/ - Kenway

[@jmoon5148]

Master Kenway wow man that's some true words right there like to bend your ear sometime hit me up if you got a moment

[@jmoon5148]

Master Kenway right on bro that was actually very in lightning stay true bro

[@jamess3159]

Otherworldly song all around...lyrics, outro, mini solos. God I love this band!!!

[@nomad2915]

first time i listen to august burns red.... FUCK AMAZING! THE SONGS ARE TO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD! THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THIS DAMN FUCKED UP WORLD

[@jonathancondor1025]

Jahn Hager Listen to Rescue & Restore and Messengers. This album is a mix of them both, you'll like it :)

[@joelkorhonen3170]

Melodies of this are phenomenal, the slow part with sweep picking sound really relaxing and the ending is so beautiful too... I absolutely love this song!

[@andysavestheday]

Best track on the album IMHO

[@bviciousguitar]

With every album this band makes, there is always at least one riff that makes me absolutely lose my mind when I hear it the first time. That outro riff is unbelievable. Oh my god. Favorite song on this album

[@raisedbywoof]

why can't they disappoint me?

[@Athenascars]

exactly!

[@johnlehrfeld9987]

Greetings from Pittsburgh Pa USA!!! Here's a MEGA TOUR I'd like to see happen : 1) opening band INVENT, ANIMATE 2) ERRA 3) VEIL OF MAYA 4) BORN OF OSIRIS 5) AFTER THE BURIAL 6) PARKWAY DRIVE 7) AUGUST BURNS RED (headlining)

[@weirdkid4470]

This album is a pure Masterpiece!!!

[@ryguyvapes]

I LOVE THIS BAND

[@shadowsmustfall1]

This song hits me right in the soul. That solo so perfectly depicts the coldness of this world.

[@acert7859]

Dustin needs more recognition

[@davidmarsh9386]

Acer t Especially since he's the best guitar player in the band lol

[@davidll4334]

Sorry, but how do you know that Dustin contribute to the songwriting? I mean, i met the band on 2017. I don't know very much about them. P.S: Srry if my english is bad, thank you :)

[@benliftin4awhile]

@@davidll4334he wrote it. They just tell you that he did, lol. They give credit on the albums in each song to their respective writers.

[@davidll4334]

@@benliftin4awhile thanks!

[@alexandergavilan9032]

Thanks God for let me live to hear this 😍😍😍

[@citizenerased174]

Best Ive heard from ABR. Im definitely buying this album

[@scottkohlhepp5898]

JB is a god that deserves more recognition in the world of guitarist. He should be another Randy Rhoads or Eddie Van Halen. Someone that people talk about 40 years from now.

[@adamhirsch2820]

Their bassist dustin actually wrote this song on guitar

[@itsKiuhL]

ABR helps me bring meaning to my life. ♡ 5 beautiful souls thank you so much

[@hardcoreteacher8377]

so far my favorite track

[@davidmarsh1456]

I've had this album for a couple weeks now, and this is definitely tied with Coordinates for my favorite track :)

[@krisstephen1456]

Technical metalcore is about all I can think of for this

[@sesarise]

Man, I waited for this song all year! This song proves that Dustin is as good as JB. Always flattering to see each member of a band being very talented.

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

That outro is so Haste the Day bro. Chills

This is my favorite song on the album.

[@lorenzobagnariol]

one of my fav songs of ABR, I deeply love guitars lines here

[@8ballgaming468]

Okay yeah that outro is sick

[@AshtonFitness]

SICK tune! That outro is a madness!

[@alessandrooliveira9296]

sempre atingindo as expectativas! Umas das melhores bandas de metalcore.

[@matheuskp25]

a melhor!

[@jobsonmetal1189]

Pra mim no mesmo nível do KSE

[@Andrew-xh8bo]

A frickin refreshment and burst of inspiration delivery

[@DIYTechnician]

Added to workout playlist!

[@RyGuyRy]

Masterpiece

[@dropcat]

"Don't throw the lifeline if no one calls for help" these lyrics hit me so hard

[@202drummerboy]

thats the most progressive metalcore thing i have eeeever listened to.

[@202drummerboy]

even better than AILD...

[@Mr_Beebird]

I slept on this album last year when it came out, but now it just keeps getting better and better.

[@brandonward6452]

this is ABR at their prime wow talk about eargasm. taking me back to messengers and constellations the originality is what their known for while keeping their roots. this album is gonna be a masterpiece

[@SchlossDrums]

First minute reminds me of count it all as lost, sooooo good

[@limi.]

My favourite song off the album.

[@krisstephen1456]

That riff at 3:08 is deadly. Unreal.

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

Best album I've heard in a long time!!!

[@jmoon5148]

Such a beautiful song

[@warrenw8705]

This song, Everlasting Ending, and Ties that Bind have the best endings.

[@aniqnazri7076]

this is masterpiece

[@intothemouthofhel100]

Never had a band hit me so hard with realness

[@merkaenjoyer3660]

The hell with this band, i can't decide what song of them is the best

[@blanewashington8237]

There are parts where I'm head banging and hardcore dancing in my bed with my pjs on... bedcore! All hail A.B.R.

[@sausages3051]

this song is amazing.

[@weirdkid4470]

I think their genre should be called 'August Burns Redcore'.

[@DoublePdalJesusMetal]

THAT GROOVE BREAKDOWN ON THE WAY OUT .... OMG !

[@hughhemmerich8854]

Wow best song ever

[@samcromwell]

This song is AWESOME!

[@leandrosustenido]

A masterpiece rises

[@nickmedley4749]

That outro is inspired.

[@davide1843]

Just love for ABR!

[@hunterfitch9518]

These guys have been in the game for so long they absolutely shit on pretty much everything else atm

[@michaelwhite5568]

August Burns Red is an American metalcore band from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Their new song "Lifeline" GOOD SONG!!!😉😃😎😆🤔

[@davidmarsh1456]

MIchael White I had no idea! Thanks for the info!

[@lethalpenguin61]

MIchael White shut up

[@samueljoseph777]

ABR u never disappoint us.

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

Can you guys write just one bad song so I know you’re not just robots slowly taking over the world?

[@relentlesschaos7445]

This album is top quality 👌👍

[@MrForthepunx]

My fv song from the album :)

[@xxH4rdC0R3xx]

August Burns Red. The destroyer of CHUG CHUG metalcore wannabees. 👌

[@rogerrabbit2902]

Breaking ScreamZ agreed. they destroy every band thats in Metalcore I think. even the likes of Architects Parkway or wtv sorry fan gays but none of them come close to ABR in terms of making generic metalcore into their own masterpiece

[@xxH4rdC0R3xx]

Roger Rabbit I think the closest to August Burns Red is This or The Apocalypse. Since that band is a technical metalcore and they're underrated . Try checking them out they're cool tho.

[@sesarise]

Roger Rabbit If they keep improving every album consistently like this, in the next few years they'll be too good that they won't be even considered "Metalcore" anymore.

[@Dascoo77]

Breaking ScreamZ yes!!! This or the Apocalypse are one of my favorite bands. 👍 Great albums.

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

Periphery is the second in command

[@pablocallizob]

such a sick song!

[@danielchen9770]

ABR for life!!!!

[@joeyedwardstock8761]

Great tune !!

[@denialater7775]

This is definitly my favorite in this album. Not that it matters. But it has everything a great song needs.

[@chairarms]

you know when you grow up and reach that point where you just nosedive into music searching, eventually finding those groups you end up relying on for years and years, loving their albums to where they just sorta fit like puzzle pieces into specific eras of your life, always there to fallback on and listen to again... I messed up BAD and SKIPPED these guys. forgot about them after one early album. I'm dumb af man lol

[@chairarms]

first time listening to this album and I'm like where have i BEEN

[@p0lish]

fav song on alb

[@jakedecker717]

Alright so can i fuck the part from 4:14 to the end? it is absolutely beautiful holy shit
