Music video by Chris Klumpp
Lyrics:
I think a lot about the words I know that we both let go unsaid
I found myself feeling every word, the weight of my regrets
No more regrets
No more words left to leave unsaid to a bitter end because you won’t speak to me
We should fight until this feeling’s dead, we should fight until there’s nothing left to give
When nothing’s left, there’s no regrets
I hope you choke before you come to your senses
What’s done is done, get over it
But I get the feeling you won’t let go of it
Get it off your chest, I’m sick of you second guessing it
We lie, we cheat, we steal, we blame and then we leave
Then find our way to get right back in to end up on our knees
Practice the words you preach, give fucking everything to the bitter end
Stand for something
We should fight until this feeling’s come and went,
we should fight until there’s nothing left to give
Nothing left, No regret
I hope you choke before you come to your senses
What’s done is done, get over it
But I get the feeling you won’t let go of it
Get it off your chest, I’m sick of you second guessing it
Why don’t you just say what needs to be said
I’ll never know what goes on in your head
#deadamerican #choke

Any day I log in and see a new Dead American song is a good day. Any day I see cove is still writing is a good day. Been following you for over a decade, never stop pushing! This is real music.

Just pre ordered the CD, yes the actual CD. the one im going to put in my 2012 Jetta Sportwagon.

Cove is my favorite vocalist. Love to see him progressing and getting better at his craft. Damn good track. Excited for what’s to come.

[@darthsparrow1358]

Been a fan since saosin so it’s been awhile

[@nogrecords]

Me too! I love COVE & I get like a weird proud feeling listening to this, even though I don't even know him. But knowing what happened with Saosin, and how that must have led to feelings of inadequacy and how they said his voice had deteriorated and all that stuff back in the early 2010's, even though they had just put out ISOSG, (which is objectively just a fantastic album and his vocals were absolutely phenomenal. I probably play it once or twice a week, AT LEAST! ) , it's just awesome knowing that he climbed his way back to the top! Whether or not it charts at the top, it kicks ass that he's BACK! COVE IS BACK! AND BETTER THAN EVER!!!!!!!!!

[@viziouz19]

Been a fan of Cove during his Saosin days but I think the heavier and grittier sound of Dead American fits Cove's vocal ranges so much better.

[@emobandito]

Cove is your favorite vocalist? 😂 really? I respect how low you set that bar I guess. Hopefully he got formal training over the last 13 years.

[@wowimhigh]

@@emobandito don't be a twat. Everyone has preferences.

[@aaronmalcolm8890]

I’m so happy to see Cove continue making music. The music he wrote with saosin helped get me through rough times. When he was kicked out of saosin I was devastated because I wanted more. I’m so happy you never gave up Cove! You have risen from the ashes

[@Thenewgirl814]

Wait? He was kicked out of Saosin?

[@ptrekboxbreaks5198]

​@housecatma yes...he was doing alot of damage to his vocals with smoking nonstop and they asked him to leave since his live performances were really suffering. They've since done a few shows with him and Anthony Green together, which is so bad ass

[@nogrecords]

​@@Thenewgirl814 he's now in both bands. Doing a show with Saosin in Texas on June 2nd

[@nogrecords]

​@@ptrekboxbreaks5198they've played more with Cove in the last year, than they have with Anthony. And they have both singers listed on their IG

[@gregromeo5802]

That opening riff with the falsetto melody is the best thing I've heard in a long time

[@lordloquat]

Reminds me of Four Letter Lie's last EP.

[@TheKidRaines]

Dude yes! It’s always stuck in my head, and I find myself humming that melody, can’t figure out what hell it’s saying but a version of it has been stuck in my head, killer hook.

[@MattOtxoa]

It's amazing, has even a Linkin Park taste

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

I think this is about how frustrating it can be to find yourself in a relationship where only one person really has any fight left in them, and the other party seems to have basically checked out.

[@Mynameiskevin410]

Fucking brilliant! Cove, this is who you are and I’m super stoked for you and the band, just keep being real with yourself and everyone around you! Fuck the bullshit! ✊🏻

[@DavidVolta976]

This band is getting better and better, Cove is really one of the few voices i praise

[@JoeLaFon3]

I couldn't possibly be any happier to see Dead American with a new LP

[@GetAsCloseAsYouCan]

This hits better and better with each listen.

[@tronlorne9328]

Most underrated vocalist of all time Cove

[@charliemitchell904]

i could never second guess Cove, so sick

Thanks cove and the rest of the guys!

[@rendyal-azhar1405]

Now he can scream, PERFECT VOCALIST!

[@sigmatrader7717]

he always can scream to begin with check the saosin come close dvd he scream and growls on some parts.

[@rendyal-azhar1405]

@@sigmatrader7717 I don't think so, then why are there no songs with screams on the albums Voices and In Search of Solid Ground?

[@sigmatrader7717]

@@rendyal-azhar1405 dude the Solid Ground album is one of their experimental album they try to tone it down.

[@arg98]

COVE!

[@justinhenry9135]

Amazing! Bought the last album right out of Coves hand and shook his hand after a show in des Moines!

[@dwcjr327]

My buddy and I met him last night in Tampa, and he was really cool and down to earth. Remembered seeing him back in 08 with Saosin.

[@muscularclouds]

Fan Interpretation of this: Theres always been a tug of war between Cove, Saosin, Anthony and the fans.. from the exit of Cove to this point, The song entails a broken bond where party A seems to have moved on but party B keeps returning to the scene of the crime, party A is always dragged back and is infuriated because the crime scene brings up emotional pain and is vexxed as to why party B keeps making a comeback. For me the parties are interchangeable Party A could be cove, Party B the fans, or vice versa or Party A "Dead American" Party B "Saosin", the video depicts what looks to be the saosin beetle but its white and encased (looks prestigous), presumably marking the Legendary self titled album that we all love from saosin. The girl could be representing time, running through mountains and different terrains, shes seems to be vexxed and at the end throws the case into the wilderness because it has run its course and marks a new beginning. As a fan of saosin i was bummed when Cove left and went on a hiatus, from what I gather he left or was released by the band due to his slipping live performance, Im sure he went through it because the bandmates were his big bros and fans/haters probably dragged him through the mud. Im glad hes back with a kickass band and with the tasteful lyrics and heart crunching sounds, cant wait for more Mind you this all could be bull sh*t 😂 but its fun to interpret these things and have dialogue,

[@PeanutButterGtr]

That’s EXACTLY what I got out of it.

[@zaqydafa9610]

Finally, my hope to hear something new Cove Rever does is already happen. So stoke to the new album.

[@Aliaszer0]

Heard this song live in Minneapolis this year. Having never head them before seeing them live, I was impressed. This song especially. It stuck with me.

[@whoissolaris]

I love this! It's like if '09 Saosin and Underoath had a baby with Cove still delivering the goods

[@CarlosSanchez-cq1lf]

Hell yea! so sick.

[@ericaengdahl]

Here’s hoping I get to see these guys live one day.

[@rodolphvalencia8409]

Cove was always my fav era of Saosin, and even tho AG is the OG, I still feel like Cove was a better fit. Glad hes doing his thing again, this is brilliant.

[@robertdaniels1442]

Reminiscent of the Cover at the hard Rock with 30 seconds to Mars....... The Shaman ☝️.I will never forget the first time I saw him in a trance. Beautiful day. In fact, sorry Mr Leto... even though I love you..Mr Reber was the lizard king that night. Pure Shaman mode. Love and happiness to both bands or individuals. Thank you both, especially you Morbius. Love you though Mr Reber, hope your at peace man. 💚💜🖤☝️
