CHILD OF THE DESERT // LYRICS
Was it all burdened with sin
Searching like a child in the night
Trust in me, no one here could see
I would never lead you astray
Oh, all is lost,
All will be returned in the end
Oh, all we have
All we have is somewhere to begin
Nesting in the thorn bush,
Blowing in the breeze
Calculate the pattern
That is causing my disease
Child of the desert,
Never had a name
Climax on the concept of eliminating pain
Take it in underneath the sun
Washed into the surface of your skin
Don't believe,
Time will help you see
I would never lead you astray
Oh, all is lost,
All will be returned in the end
Oh, all you save
Dare I say, just give it away
Give it away,
Give it away
Lurking in the shadows,
Nurtured in the dark
Rise above the surface to
Eliminate the spark
Wild like a daydream,
Soon to be erased
Searching for the moment
To evacuate the race
Nesting in the thorn bush,
Blowing in the breeze
Calculate the pattern
That is causing my disease
Child of the desert,
Never had a name
No one here will ever be the same
Not sure how to make it real
How to take my time, how to come alive
I don't want to feel a thing
I don't want to know, I don't wanna
I don't want
I don't want to take my time
Make it come alive, make it come on

I love coming back to this video. I was at this show, what great night. Anthony told everyone to stay really still until he said go, then we were supposed to go crazy. makes for a really cool video that's for sure.

[@louismorello404]

Dude this show was phenomenal... I'm actually the dude that's crowd surfing when Anthony green grabs my head! "I want you to hold in all your wiggles!"

[@aaronhummel4472]

What's the venue?

[@BrianMurrayPA]

Aaron Hummel Union Transfer in Philly

[@BaMBlazr]

Oh baby is that a flyer’s cap I see? Go Flyers! Also the idea for this song AND this music video is absolutely phenomenal because I’m pretty sure this song is about getting high and drug addiction. It’s slow like the drug is comforting, and then he freaks out when it wears off because he wants more. Conversely, it can be taken the opposite way too. Life is boring and drags on when he doesn’t have the drug, but then when it hits he finally comes alive. Around the first time hearing this song, I looked up a lyric video on it. Someone commented “that part when it goes crazy is exactly what drugs feel like.” That really put the song into context for me and has ever since. I do no advocate for drug use though. Please be careful everyone, and thank you Circa for all those hard times you’ve gotten me through

[@ThisIsToothBear]

Can't explain why but this song's been stuck in my head as of late. The vocals give me chills and it just slaps altogether 💓

[@notprimaryfever]

I've been hooked on this song this whole year 💚 Its just so damn good

[@rbraghetto]

When the song reach this point 3:47 I feel something growing inside my chest and an incredible desire to break things

[@ChelseaClark5292]

His voice is so amazing. I love the songs and how they make u feel. Every song tells a story. That's how all music should be

[@yeseniarodriguez8763]

Anthony makes me feel things. love this

[@Keith_Castillo]

Me too.

[@Childofbhaal]

Listen to this shit full blast with some good headphones with good bass. The rhythm section goes fucking hard in this song.

[@jamesfleming1155]

childofbhaal I'm walking at my park doing exactly this.

[@bdizz19]

Most necessary 😂

[@Seducingly]

Clicked this video on accident. I do not regret it at all.

[@brandon7828]

Circa Survive should of won a Grammy for best album of the year.

[@clustergut2773]

Hell yeah! Their music is great!

[@justinsomniactor]

Hitting that Mars Volta sound on this one

[@chrisp8827]

+Justin Rolling A collaboration with those two bands would be amazing.

[@chrisp8827]

+Justin Rolling A collaboration with those two bands would be amazing.

[@Fantomex]

+Justin Rolling I cry. :TMV was amazing.

[@kevinjones8488]

I found it more akin to At the Drive-In's Invalid Litter Dept.

[@AceTheKid]

The first song I ever heard of Circa was this, that was almost 2 years ago and now it´s my fucking favourite band man. They are awesome. So, if you came here for Saosin, give Circa a chance, you will not regret.

[@bartivan94]

Anthony will never disappoint us...

[@joshuastout5420]

nice bud, ive been following them for about 4-5 years and they are also my favorite ^^

[@Ikiya69]

Ace / Basstrip I started from Anthony's solo album, and then Circa. I knew Saosin as the last.

[@AceTheKid]

Thats a nice start tho, now you will be able to appreaciate every member of circa and not only anthony as much of us do at least when we first heard them

[@shannanosnower6170]

eh i love saosin but dont like circa... VERY different sound. I like the heavier/catchier stuff

[@WillFelt1]

I will never lead you astray ❤ Anthony Green is one of my favorite writers!I love Circa & I'm so glad I got to see them EVERY TIME they came to Denver 😁

[@brandonayala7592]

i saw them in denver too! and with title fight?! cmon, best show i've been to

[@WillFelt1]

Yea bought Descensus at the show 😍 and rocked it the whole way home.

[@XemawthEvo2]

Hell yes! I saw them live in Denver as well in December 2014 with title fight! They were so great, and the energy was incredible. All of the fans were so excited to be there. Easily one of the best shows i have ever been to

[@Anton_Glz]

This only makes me think about getting tattooed that Circa logo soon.

[@melissarodriguez4336]

Safecamp logo*

[@jamesmerritt4660]

Melissa Rodriguez indeed

[@Anton_Glz]

Melissa Rodriguez Did some research, thanks for the info, interesting topic indeed.

[@melissarodriguez4336]

Oh youre gonna get a tattoo of something that you don't know what it means? hell yeaaa

[@Anton_Glz]

Melissa Rodriguez I was relating the logo to their music, the meaning behind it makes it better, you don't have to be a dick about it. Also, I was being nice, but I assume you don't like that. Have a good one still.

[@reenie_yaz]

Miss you circa 😢

[@TrackstarOP]

I was a fan of *Saosin* when *Translating the Name* Ep came out so naturally I would fall in love with this band as well. I love all his projects including *The Sound Of Animals Fighting* which some may not know. This guy has so much material to write about, its insane and a good thing for us ;)

[@melissarodriguez4336]

Now it all makes sense why he told the crowd to stand completely still 👌

[@GiBBERSTiX]

They nailed the video editing for the heavy part. Cold chills

[@leviblack5350]

I could careless what you people say about Anthony Green. He is one of the best artists to this day. Such an inspirational guy.

[@VictorOrtizuhumassa]

[@ryndanriley5348]

Such a great song. This is probably the first time they've used one of my top two favorite songs on an album as a single since Juturna. I'm usually so bummed by their choice in singles but this song is one of their best.

[@RicoRomanProductions]

My favorite song on the album. Solid video too

[@ZwelMunWint]

I see you everywhere on my favourite songs. haha.

[@RicoRomanProductions]

Zwel MUN WINT Haha good taste my man

[@squeakycrow89]

I agree man, every song on the album was awesome to me but this one did it for me.

[@Pomegranatezz]

Rico Roman Hi, Rico! I just saw these guys live with Brand New it was awesome.

[@Pomegranatezz]

Rico Roman Hi, Rico! I just saw these guys live with Brand New it was awesome.

[@ryancesena668]

Due to living in Palmdale most of my life , i relate to being a child of the desert and wandering through life's mazes awaiting an exodus. Thank you circa and Anthony. You always provide the best life sound tracks.

[@marcixchumarcixchu6920]

Loving this song and the vocal range of this guy.

[@Fluffy65]

The most emotional, powerful scream of "I DON'T WAAANT" you'll ever hear in your lifetime. Anyone that's battled addiction should feel it in their soul.

[@Nanokeeps]

Porn addiction is a bitch

[@Anton_Glz]

And this shot at 1:20 will forever remain in my head.

[@ldekker97]

I have to hear this song live at least once in my life

[@FrankTheTankA1]

It's amazing how people will nit-pick about the littlest of things. Cupping the mic, stage performance, mic technique.

[@josebarutia7965]

+Frank Fiorella well from a musician point of view, cupping the mic affects the sound of the vocals which could be good or bad, as does mic technique but its only really for bad if not done properly. On the other side from the sound engineer point of view, cupping the mic and mic technique can make their job harder an make the sound not optimal for the show. As of stage performance, thats just for the public, but not everyone is into it, very variable. Mic technique is not a nit-pick though, is very important and it really bothers me when people don't understand something so simple, although there are some sounds that might need a diferent kind of mic technique to be achieved. (i am not trying to fight here by the way, just giving some information from what i've learned from years of experience as a musician and sound engineer, it is true that people make too big of a deal about this sometimes though)

[@aaronmalcolm8890]

in an interview on his return to Saosin he talks a great deal about his sobriety and this particular sing came up.. he said 10 minutes BEFORE this video was shot he did heroin... congrats Anthony for your strength and sobriety.. mostly thanks for your return to Saosin .. keep writing deep music Man!

[@dengekitomato]

Boy do I remember seeing these dudes in show back in 2007 in Washington DC. They were amazing.

[@circasurviver3]

I can't believe this was 9 years ago. Been listening to them since they started. Still in love, I need them to get back on tour!!! I've dedicated half of my body to their album art 😅

[@marcusruss]

@ 4:25 this is straight up flashing me back to OG Saosin @ Arlene’s Grocery

[@jimbuto8946]

Proud to say I was at the show they recorded this video, Union Transfer in Philly, amazinggggg concert like always Circa.

[@omnidimensional]

That probably was the only time the crowd was still and peaceful until "the signal"! I actually got a chance to meet Anthony and the gang backstage when they came to Houston. It was my first concert ever and definitely a memorable experience! This video is awesome and a constant reminder of The Warehouse Live!! #RockOnCirca

[@longlifted7408]

90% of these comments are about Anthony. Who happens to be my favorite singer, but aren't you guys forgetting to commend one of the most creative instrusive instrumental sections ever to exist.

[@Childofbhaal]

Anthony Greens amazing but I mainly listen to Circa for Brenden and Colin. Their guitar work is just mind blowing. It's Completely original.

[@profspaghetto9909]

@@Childofbhaal Colin painting's work is absolutly Lovely too, you should check that on instagram

[@daavidmurphy3562]

​@@ChildofbhaalJust saw Brendan and Colin's previous band, This Day Forward, doing reunion shows in Philadelphia. They were super original sounding, too, with some similar qualities. My old band frequently played shows with them back in the day, so it was amazing to watch them live again after 20 years!

[@Childofbhaal]

@@daavidmurphy3562 That amazing! It’s awesome to see Brendan and Colin play music after Circa went on hiatus. Hopefully we see more from them in the future

[@daavidmurphy3562]

@Childofbhaal Colin back on drums straight killing it!

[@katez1365]

That shot at 1:36 is everything

[@gbs9]

best song ever released on my birthday!

[@Melissad490]

This video doesn't do live Circa justice. Omg they are soo good live and all the feels in Anthony's voice. Gasp.

[@lelouchvibritannia5259]

Their new album is dope! So glad to be a fan since Blue Sky Noise and their older stuff

[@XemawthEvo2]

Their tour in December 2014 was one of the best live shows i have ever been to, i saw them in Denver CO. It was simply astounding how good they were, the energy was amazing, and all of their fans tended to be some of the best i have ever experienced in the live concert scene. I would dare to say it rivaled seeing Dethklok live... Highly recommend you go and see these guys live ASAP

[@ralic11]

Yesssss. This video made me miss the concert.

[@Wallybryantmusic]

Magical words. Thank you.

[@existential_gal]

this song means alot

[@charlie-uz6hf]

I love circa so much.

[@chickenwing27]

Rlly wish this band would blow up more

[@MrEL91N]

Within their genre they are huge

[@bandulf6085]

experimental rock

[@myminoxbeard3089]

prog. aint such a dirty word.

[@emanuelcarmona9930]

i always considered them kind of indie

[@TheFitnessTutor]

Why?

[@angieanchondo4458]

Omg cant wait to see them live! 😆

[@WesthamJack0]

This was their opener in Bristol the other day, it was amazing! Perfect choice.

[@jeffreyjenks8000]

What a SICK music video. 2019 anyone?

[@lunaflower2780]

hes so beautiful

[@Hourhero]

This show in Philly was seriously mind blowing. Circa kicked ass... I was wondering what all the cameras were for =)

[@Hourhero]

oh and "Hold in all your wiggles, until I say to let them out" - Anthony directing us. haha

[@shatteredscry]

I feel like Circa Survive is what murals would sound like if they were manifested into music

[@tinyykidd]

so happy they made a video to this 😭 this is one of my fav songs off the album

[@allcreation87]

Going to see them in November! They NEED to play this one!!

[@danielgoodwin9173]

Also going to see them in November Sadly i gotta wait til the end of the month

[@allcreation87]

It’s ok. It will be worth it.

[@SonofRa47]

that breakdown at the end, so good

[@vitoriagarcia454]

Come to Brazil!!💜

[@gibbles12]

I’m glad that I’m just now listening to this band but I’m disappointed that I didn’t listen to them earlier cause this is really good

[@survivorturnover]

nostalgia vibes

[@scarletrosel]

First band second song for the start of my 2019 morning.

[@scoreman]

Best song on the new album by far!

[@Jeshiauno8]

Asome!

[@CandyKyras]

Best concert I went to in my life.

[@Newmillenniummusic00]

[@Sebatman]

Awesome! grettings from chile!

[@Jaime8042]

[@johnnyboy1678]

[@dimericardoandres]

AAAAAAWESOME!

[@lisadixon5359]

I wanna get down w green....just bust out lines of dog food and jam out.

[@louismorello404]

Lisa Dixon dudes sober now there’s a better life

[@bowie-bulge]

Seeing them do this live in concert was baller. I was touching Anthony the whole time and I got Nick's guitar pick. ~

[@marcobarrientos4953]

[@HamtaroHxCx]

2015 Soth America Tour, Please! Come to Brazil, Guys! Rio loves u!

[@Childofbhaal]

I just bought a VIP bundle for their upcoming tour with Chon and Balance and Composure. Holy shit i have been listening to Circa ever since Juturna dropped and I've never had the opportunity to see them live and now i get to fucking meet them too. AHHHHHHHHHH MY EXCITEMENT LEVEL IS SO HIGH.

[@RayKonPlaysGpLaTale]

gisel mata lmfao yeah i thought i was the only one who thought he was short... he's probly like 5'6" or so

[@aristasious]

I'm thinking about going to see them at the Knitting Factory in April. (:

[@Childofbhaal]

***** It was fucking amazing dude! The Juturna VIP comes with an exclusive Vinyl also that's so awesome looking.

[@mackalrath]

3:47 and on gives me big Muse vibes, and that is a huge compliment,

[@LP-iu2yy]

Circa Survive forever

[@rogergoza3180]

Imagine a song with Anthony Green, Tilian Pearson, Jonny Craig, Kurt Travis, Cory Lockwood, Donovan Melero, Thomas Erak and Jon Mess. Now that’d be an epic collaboration

[@miguelpereda4930]

Anthony and Jonny Craig are somewhere else on this list man. The rest just try to imitate. I mean, I love Donovan with Sianvar but he literally sounds EXACTLY like Anthony

[@JonathanFraserMusic]

I just got On Letting Go and it was amazing! But this is just as awesome. I swear these guys can't make a bad song.

[@sarahgorath433]

When i first saw this video I thought the guys at 4:25 were just random guys having a good time, then I saw it was Anthony Green and a fan and it warmed my heart even more. :)

[@ezwalking2740]

He does this at his shows without barriers. His last show in Memphis, he melted into the crowd and it was amazing.

[@zann8073]

Still listening

[@jealousyvargas1343]

2018 and I’m still listening to this masterpiece

[@Cautou00]

awesome, as always

[@TatoCosentino]

I discovered what seems a new great band today.

[@felixtamola319]

check out their older stuff, you won't be disappointed. this is an "Okay" album by them imo

[@IIESPD00DII]

I had to mature to appreciate this one. This might’ve been one of my least favorite songs on the album when it was released, but I heard them play it live and it completely changed my opinion of the song I feel like.

[@saturAzione]

REALLY NICE SONG!!

[@rans0927]

Don’t know this song is already 8years old

[@allcreation87]

My dream came true! I seen them play this at HOB! I can die happy! They fucking killed it!

[@canisminor9050]

Finding this band and coming back listenin to both new and old tracks. I am so happy to be part of this generation simply because of the true talent out there like these guys. Holy fucking shit. Like. Do you know how phenomenal it is to be able to hear this.. To the deaf, my whole heart goes out to you :(

[@nadineinflames]

Fuck that hit me. Anthony Green has an amazing voice and always will

[@josh_olalde]

Amazing

This is good my casin needs to hear this

[@ShadyToast]

Favorite of the album !! :D

[@adierw1845]

This is the first time I've heard circa Survive and I feel that they sound a lot like The Mars Volta in this song

[@AW_Man66]

why can't everyone just get along, we all like the same music here, and difference in opinions will always happen, but doesn't mean that you can't look past it

[@fearfromwithin555]

How could anyone dislike this.

[@Cristov123]

Wow, I expected a much different voice to come out of the vocalists mouth lol

[@gravesx000]

Everyone does at first glance lol

[@XBlaqKrowX]

N Graves lol I could see that, almost forgot people would think that from first glance x)

[@Goctagon]

Chris Hale Listen to The Mars Volta. Sounds just like Cedric.

[@stustockwell]

Chris Hale Check out their Juturna album. It's amazing

[@dumithegreat3892]

+Goctagon Nah, even Cedric has a more masculine voice lol. Green is the "missing balls tenor". Great singer though

[@baramrock]

Buenas canciones ,saludos desde México
