Crown The Empire - Are You Coming With Me?

Did I find the blood inside my bones reaching out into the great unknown?
What a life. What a fucked up love we hold polarized by what we can’t control
We have the chance to realize, are we the stars or just the sky?
We have the chance to find our eyes so
Are you coming with me?
I’ll go
When you find the dust behind the sun you’re alive, but so misunderstood
We’re so afraid to change our minds. Are we the shark or just the prize?
No I’m not afraid to open wide so
Are you coming with me?
I’ll go
Climb the sky or cauterize
Golden eyes are better blind
I don’t know what I’m meant to see so I’ll just hold my breath and wait for gravity
We don’t know what we’re meant to see so we’ll just hold our breath

[@amberrichard8874]

This is my first time listening to the FULL Retrograde album and I honestly don't see why everyone is so angry. I think it's good. I still love their older stuff more but I'm happy with this album.

[@anastasiatoland8784]

why does everyone bash on this song??? This is my favorite song, and I've been a fan of ALL OF THEIR SONGS. Just because they're not doing hardcore metal doesn't mean they're "generic". Sick of people judging them. This album is actually being real.

[@taylormyers3969]

Finally someone who gets it

[@TheIntrepidAustin]

"being real" their first album was real, ever since then the studio has changed their sound. Andrew, who was the lead singer, now feels like a backup singer for the new guy. This whole album works to spotlight the new guy. I don't mind the sound, although it is boring and far from it's roots, but if this is the new direction, i will be disappointed. This is from someone who followed them since startup during their stickam jams.

[@anastasiatoland8784]

Austin Bryant "new guy" bro. Dave has been there almost the whole time. And have you ever even watched a crown video about this album?? They all said they hated their sound? Stick to your "opinion" but it's kinda crap ..

[@TheIntrepidAustin]

Except he wasn't here for limitless, and he isn't s founding member. He was someone added when they were signed. Feels that he has taken over the band as all the focus is on him. It's insanely disappointing to see Andy Velasquez take such a backseat. Please cut the bullshit, the original music they made couldn't be something they hated. It was literally an expression of themselves at that point, as there were no labels interfering. Like I said, I don't mind the sound, doesn't make it any less mediocre.

[@anastasiatoland8784]

+Austin Bryant seriously go watch alt presses interview with Andy then come back here and tell me they didn't have any problems? I love all their music and will continue to support them. And even though Dave isn't a "founding member" it doesn't make him the new guy??? And Andy is talented in many ways and I don't think he's taking a backseat at all. I just think they're trying to figure out what sound they like which requires them to try new things. You should really open your mind and look at them as a band instead of all individuals.

[@stephaniemwaniki9506]

bro where are all the true fans? like seriously. CTE said this is an album they wanted to make, and they weren't worried about what people thought. it's not the end of them, it's the beginning, and if you aren't supportive then go listen to their old music

[@treyhansen4646]

I prefer their older stuff too, but I love this album! always a fan of CTE!

[@msharpashotr]

I def will lol

[@stephaniemwaniki9506]

msharpashotr have fun with that.

[@stephaniemwaniki9506]

TreyFam exactly my thoughts. but this album has some of my fav CTE songs so

[@WhoIsOrzy]

+Stephanie Mwaniki everyone has their own opinions. You don't have to be a "true fan" to say you do or don't like this album.

Jesus people are so annoying in the comment sections for the new CTE songs. Just because you don't like them it does not mean they are bad. The band is just trying something new, not every album will be the same or a perfect masterpiece. I don't like all the songs and all I do is not listen to them it's that simple. Also to the people complaining about the songs sounding like pop songs, have you heard the pop songs coming out lately? Even if it was pop, it's a hell of a lot better than the mainstream shit.

[@SunnitoElBunnito]

Do people nowadays just listen to music to focus on what they have done "wrong"? For real. This was a great album imo. All of the comments say the exact same bs. "This isn't CTE. They've changed" or "Where's the screaming? This is so soft". Well, I can see you're the same person you were 4 years ago. Oh. You're not? You see what I'm saying? And also, I don't see all of you bitching about Millenia not being a heavy song. It's not as heavy. So? Why so much dislike? You think it sounds a lot like other bands? If you like the other band why don't you like this album? You just want to hate because you can, right?

[@randybray100]

Sun Operations I actually prefer this sound. I prefer rock over metal. I'm OK with some screams but metal is just too much screaming for me .

[@SunnitoElBunnito]

randy Bray No offense, dude, but if that's the case I don't think CTE is really the band for you. I mean, you can listen to whatever you want, true. But CTE is basically full of screams (Not that much in this album, but you get the idea)
