The Stories Behind Parkway Drive's Lyrics

[@jamesgrenard]

"It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years"

[@meteldragon]

James Grenard is that from a parkway tune?.

[@meteldragon]

James Grenard never mind it's come to me

[@AfterlifeVODs]

the river, i agree its the best

[@pr4zaVIDZ]

That's actually based on a quote by Abraham Lincoln

[@evancameron1121]

James Grenard I was literally just about write that for the best lyric, and then I scrolled down😂😆😂😆😂😆.

[@nick_Kom]

Distance was born when the sea and the sky grew apart, Loneliness was born the day I let you go. All of Winston's lyrics are absolutely amazing,but Blue and the Grey is simply a lyrical masterpiece.

[@1alexanderkup1]

maan, that song is a masterpiece

[@clemz26]

I think so too ! It sucks that they do not play it live very often :(

[@willhayes8229]

Kle-ment and if they do its recorded on a phone that has bad quality

[@jo3yepicness]

Have a guitar solo cover of it on my channel lol. Definitely an amazing song.

[@amnesios3263]

The whole "Atlas" album is a masterpiece

[@XpliCTPaiN]

Winston's best lyrical masterpiece is in Wishing Wells imo. "The last thing you wish for" "Is the Face," "Is the face to face the pain"

[@thescroncho8945]

How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost to eyes that know only a wasteland?

[@zachryan2986]

[@olliewhitham6084]

nah horizons

[@digvijayrajawat9234]

Deliver Me

[@charityjustmyself4994]

Haha 😂 simple humans….. messages are passed and sometimes telepathically ….. seeing this only confirms I am my true authentic self with only one ☝️ In all manners of speaking in the past lifetime , memories from this lifetime and the FUTURE IS GOLDEN NO ONE CAN STOP 🛑 A FORCE THAT STRONG! These musicians were a premonition lol 😂 they might not even know it themselves however I saw so so so many artists without my eyes. Across the. Sea 🌊 yes yes he is my truest blue my deepest love…. Safest arms of love , the hands 🙌 that have grazed album 💿 covers of just his hands one in which the candle 🕯 he holds is me still. This little light of mine …. Eventually you start feeling the things that make you feel good 👍…. Those Peter Pan, Christmas 🎄 morning when you actually have presents 🎁 and a tree 🌲. Pine 🌲 my least favorite! Oak trees 🌳 that’s what this weeping willow has been waiting for. The hands 🙌 I can feel safe in those hands 🙌 are home. Makes me giggle 🤭. Parkway so mundane however I bet the DRIVE in the passengers seat 💺 is heavenly. My cure….. I’m reaching

[@BreadBoys]

wishing wells was probably their best song to date

[@swastikmohanty6361]

Didn't expect you guys to be here

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

“Burn your Heaven, flood your hell, damn you all, cuz tonight I’m killing GODSSS”

[@baileycarpenter7045]

Great song but I disagree

[@zacharyrusso1467]

I want to meet Winston so fucking bad man, you are my fucking idol!

[@YoureAPillock]

Winston is such a fucking legend.

[@lamborgatti-4783]

i remember i felt connected with winston during the slow part of horizons

[@MechanicRaptorJesus]

‘’There is nothing as empty as waiting to die. We spend our lives wasting as time eats us alive.‘’ -Horizons

[@edgarallanswole]

“Still I’m choking on the words I should have said 1,000 times; and I’m crushing every memory and I’m holding until there’s nothing left to save.” Horizons is FILLED with awesome lyrics - Frostbite just happens to be my my favorite.

[@MrFatbad]

"what will you tell your children, when they ask you what went wrong, how can you paint a picture, of a paradise lost to eyes that know only a wasteland". Not my favorite PWD song, but definitely my favorite lyric.

[@wertywerty6]

What is that song again?

[@MrFatbad]

Werty Werty dark days

[@ufukinwotm8434]

Werty Werty dark days

[@The_Crooked_Path]

That’s the first song that came to my mind

[@mycinematics8948]

Dark Days and Wild Eyes are two of the best lyrical songs i've heard.

[@Deevoo90]

"Burn your heaven, flood your hell " (Wishing Wells)

[@larrycollinslarrdogg8277]

3:10 is my favorite. 😂

[@ETHVN231]

Couldn’t agree more 😂

[@jo3yepicness]

And it has come to pass A past set in stone now breaks like glass The failings of yesterday Become the catalyst to seek my change (one of my favorite lyrics)

[@minksrule2196]

jo3yepicness what song is that from?

[@perw12345]

Hollow.

[@emilyrobinson1476]

"One life One shot Give it all you've got" My fave lyrics right now ❤

[@Jurr]

3:14 I wish he'd laugh like this when they play that song live x'D

[@ufukinwotm8434]

The lyrics to blue and the grey will always give me goosebumps

[@foxclover6]

They're the best for turning any phrase as he said, best lyrics of any metal band

[@michaelkim9993]

"Against the grain, against the odds, against the world. Forever the underdogs." -Wild Eyes

[@iGenius98]

"For the vision burning before me, Is one of former glory An icon cast in the light of freer times, Now writhes in a bed of lies" The best for me

[@BazzGamez]

I thought of exactly the same line man

[@Obiib]

While one thousand eyes stare back at me But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see -Atlas

[@nickstewart9592]

Greatest band I've ever heard will forever love you guys.

[@ceratedraptor6299]

Wreckage has some badass lyrics, the “I am” verses 🔥 And Alone too: “Evening Tide, What do you hide? What do you hide?”

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

Badass sound too

[@anarautio]

I wanted to hear the stories behind the lyrics, not how he writes lyrics.

[@TheMarcPhotography]

True the title of the video doesn't reflect what's being showed.

[@BC.28]

This is a strength born in misery. A focus cut of this insanity. I fight my way from the gates of hell... I hold onnnnnn

[@petehillie1]

Karma has such fantastic lyrics! i love "Losing ground, let the steel of my resolve Be not bested by the sum of my fears"

[@cameronshepherd5165]

Is it me.. or does Buzz Lightyear look like Winston??

[@minksrule2196]

Cameron Shepherd great, now I will never watch toy story the same way again!

[@sixsouls]

Y'know what's funny? I kinda think he looks more like Woody hahah

[@akbarfajarmaulana5986]

@@sixsouls his head more like buzz, but his chin more like woody hahah

[@csongorzsedely2434]

[@agiel.2114]

Love the lyrics and the music :) keep going ^^

[@ninjagenjin9510]

Your bad ass😀 love your lyrics and your music inspires to fight this battle of life🤗

[@williammcclellan6421]

I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die...I DONT WANT TO DIE....... And as the color leaves the sky we are left in reverence of the frailty of it all.. And everything in between Pretty fucken good

[@aristotlehernandez4767]

Parkway Drive is still the best band round. 🤘🤘

[@webbo3985]

Forever my favourites

[@Joseph-R]

can't say he has a smartest lyric, but dealing with the feeling of loneliness and depression his lyrics for Alone really resonated with me, " Shifting light outlines my battered form. Stranger to the world, alone in my abandonment. A gaining army of white horses, stark warning before the icy front. The deceiving calm betrays all signs of impeding change." These lines perfectly reflected how alone I felt and dealing with suicidal thoughts. Everything felt cold and dark and my suicide just felt like something creeping in. Even though to everyone I looked fine, I almost killed myself and barely survived. Thankfully I survived and have a much stronger and positive outlook on life but I will never forget how much that song meant to me.

[@chillednshit]

Hope you're getting by man. Sorry to hear you've dealt with so much suffering. Onwards we go mate.

[@parkwayfan84]

That's how I felt last week. I emotionally hit rock bottom. Pretending to be fine. Telling everyone I'm fine, just so they won't feel my pain, bc I didn't want them to know how I was feeling. I still struggle with it but trying to think more positive. Listening to Winstons lyrics makes me now try to help myself get over that. Ik the pain is still there but Its "either I could just die and not do anything about it and let the fear take over" or "die knowing I tried to overcome my fear and lonliness replacing it with more positive effort"

[@MavalocKing5050]

Such a great band! If I had to choose their "smartest lyrics" ever written, I'd say it's their song Crushed. Writings on the Wall had some pretty sick lyrics too.

[@ericjohnson5147]

MavalocKing5050 Spot on

[@jamesalexander1441]

Amen, whenever the worlds bullshit gets me down I always throw that track on now, because it's on-fucking-point about all the pathetic political and corporate bullshit/lies/hate/greed/corruption/war for the almighty US dollar going on in the world.

[@larrycollinslarrdogg8277]

wishing wells is fucking brutal

[@luckydc]

Winnie sacrifices cats under a full moon for inspiration...

[@raimondibro]

For every cry me a river bitch, we get "See this war never about giving up, just giving in Because you only live once But you spend your whole life dying So when it all comes crashing Know you're not alone" I listen to this part of dream run non stop lol.

[@lightbearer.94]

“”You wouldn’t know love if it crushed your fucking chest!”

[@rikusundqvist1345]

Anyone else thinks he looks like a younger version of Harvey Specter? :D

[@minksrule2196]

"I am a cat"

[@MrThegreatali]

Minks Rule you're a mink...

[@minksrule2196]

MrThegreatali but I felt like a cat when I write that.... That's all the matters...

[@RoadRunner217]

Bam! Nailed it.

[@dom-ru5cc]

I'm glad I watched this, I have so many songs I need to let go of

[@cmays209]

They still got it

[@MetallicaKing48]

When you put your heart into your work, your mind is not going to remember much of it.

[@beheadingtheprophets4145]

He looks like Woody from Toy Story.

[@kylereed9627]

I'm gutted he avoided delving into actual lyrics he's written.. I image he's maybe embarrassed to actually say them out loud as it's such a personal thing but I'd love to know what he believes are his best. Ire is far from my favourite PWD album but I do think it features some of his best - Be my deathless song..... fill my aching lungs. Breathe your life into me, because I drown in your shadow like salt in the rain. If my fear is tomorrow, your memory’s the fight in my veins. SO beautiful. He's very good at what he does.

[@filvil3181]

Top bloke from Straya mate!

[@josuecervantes5592]

Crikey mate that's wild

[@xCocoaWolf]

Fucking legend.

[@jamesalexander1441]

Stephen King (arguably one of the greatest writers in history) said a similar thing about his writing process: "I never write ideas down right away, if I have an idea I'll keep it to myself, and if I still remember it weeks, months, or even years later, then I know it's gold, and that's when I'll write it down." or something along those lines.

[@Arouxayis]

it's kinda odd hearing him speak because i never have heard him speak in a conversation sort of way.

[@willcoRed]

Misleading title, still cool interview though.

[@hellfirebloodcrossproducti4394]
