Lyrics
Feel the cold steel touch my fingertips
I see the light but I’m not afraid of it
So sew me up and put my bones back where they fit
Don’t need a lifeline, I got a death grip
You wanna play it safe? I’ll save the day
We all know that fortune favors the brave
Don’t forget this is sudden death
With bones exposed that you still have to protect
I still refuse to peak
While you, you’re still trying to be what you will never achieve
Let out your warcry and get what you came here for
Pull the pin, I’ll stand and wait
Won’t retreat. Force them to blow me away
A resting place, won’t be doomed to stay
You dug a hole but that won’t be my grave
All pain, no remedy. It makes no difference
Embrace the anarchy surrounding me
I’ll build a forcefield from my enemies
Anarchy. Anarchy. Surrounding me
All pain, no remedy
Feel the cold steel touch my fingertips
I see the reaper but I’m not afraid of him
I won’t bleed out, I’ll just rub some dirt on it
Don’t need a lifeline. I got a death grip
I choke the trauma down and still don’t make a sound
Face to face with the end but I clench my fist
Don’t need a lifeline, I got a death grip

YOU'RE IN A DEATHGRIP!!! DEATH WILL KNOW MY....wait wrong song!

[@brandongilley4847]

Your at the worlds end your at the worlds endddddd! Thought the same shit hahaha!

[@davidll4334]

DEATHGRIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@champion6534]

Lmao

[@ksauls]

This band - more specifically, Dear Youth - propped me up at my lowest four years ago. I find it no coincidence that this released today, the four year anniversary of my sobriety (11-07-19). You guys have walked with me down this path. Your music means so much to me and my journey. 🧡

[@dannygeevibes]

Congrats this was awesome to read!

[@corev4lues]

Good stuff mate

[@madisonozment3174]

Congrats!!

[@MrKjg2388]

Fuck yeah brother!!!!! KEEP GOING MY DUDE!

[@chadsterrrible]

Same. Dear Youth has huge in me getting through tough times.

[@ZombiePenguinStudios]

this band always manages to give me chills like the kind you get when you hear something so badass, it's over whelming

[@Peteyzee98]

first time hearing them, holy f shittt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Galactic_fart_sniffer]

Bro. That first minute actually gave me chills too. This track is lit 🔥

[@Ryanh6661]

​@@Peteyzee98listen to fury if the fallen ones!! Definitely a classic in hardcore!

[@BirdOfHermes8381]

Check out 156/silence! Every song they have does that too me. I suggest the wrong sense, denouement, taste of ash, for all to blame. I could go on but that would be a long message.

[@Galactic_fart_sniffer]

@@BirdOfHermes8381 156 is pretty lit too. I saw em live in seattle this year and they killed it 🔥

[@The_KlaVra]

TGI have gone from struggle and hardship to coming back stronger than ever. 10/10 Song last breakdown was really sick

[@A-Woman-in-Every-Kitchen]

Pure Garbidge… 😂

[@Toddpeekence]

Do you subscribe to the idea no other artists creating music never struggled?

[@silverchair5169]

they sack members for saying nigga 10 years ago. they are cowards

[@ParaplegicKeanuReeves]

I like how you didn't even explain their struggles lmfao

[@The_KlaVra]

@@ParaplegicKeanuReeves everybody knows about the ghost inside if you are in the scene... Plus is best to leave the bad past behind and look into the future...

[@billybobtrailertrash]

The fact that Andrew only has one foot and he hasn’t missed a beat is incredible.

[@latihankreatif2291]

Def leppard drummer- one arm

[@matthewnewlands5002]

​@@latihankreatif2291no where near as complex as what Andrew plays with one foot 😂

[@wolfhudson4149]

right crazy they came back so much harder 100% harder

[@RemmyRiffs]

​@matthewnewlands5002 Idk man... as a drummer I'd MUCH RATHER have 1 leg than 1 arm. And I'm pretty damn sure Andrew would say the same. Drumming with 1 ARM is absolute insanity, no matter what Rick Allen play's in Def Leppard. Andrew is nasty af, but like I said I'd take a prosthetic leg that I can still actually use to hit a kick than literally being DOWN an arm with my actual sticks.

[@Jo59620]

I can already hear the crowds yelling I got a deathgrip back at Jo's face live, and it makes me happy.

[@mattlubick9232]

I have been a total fan of these guys since they were A Dying Dream playing to 10 people at shows in Southern CA. I have seen them about 20 times and they are always great and nice guys too.

[@dougmitchell20]

Apart from this song absolutely going ham, I love to see the drummer never gave up and is blasting beats like he was after what all he went through. Fucking right on mates! 10/10

[@flippensweet3]

Been listening to these guys since the world ended in 2012. Still slaps!!!❤

[@carlosalcaino]

X2

[@silverchair5169]

is that all? casual

[@alexbushey4676]

🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@ryandyess30]

From 1:45 - 1:55. That change up gave me good feels. I need more of those.

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

Those leads at 1:32 gave me chills, love how y'all kept the melodic elements intact while going heavier than ever

[@bdevil6]

Had an absolute blast co-directing this with Jim Riley and our team at BLVCKBOX Studios. Love you guys, always a good time when we get together!!!

[@mattpatt199]

Awsome job to all involved

[@tylerbyrd9352]

great job

[@silverchair5169]

they sack members for saying nigga 10 years ago. they are cowards

[@FightingFish93]

How to write the most generic nu metalcore song possible with the same drum beat being used on the last 3 albums

[@bdevil6]

@@FightingFish93 how to be a keyboard warrior that hasn’t made anything prevalent anyone has ever heard of. Congratulations on that!!!

[@stoneosborne9247]

It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes TGIIIIIIIIIII, yuh.

[@ThunderCod1]

So proud of all of you, just went back re-watched aftermath and nearly cried, you guys deserve everything

[@gwynstacey6400]

It was such an honor seeing them at Blue Ridge Rock Festival, and for that being a first time for me, they sure as hell gained a new fan. Their music hits so well 😩

[@coolercody]

Damn it, Andrew is so freaking gnarly. I absolutely love his drumming/writing style. This one hits hard.

[@SamurakuOfficial]

so much power in this, even for TGI, this is a masterpiece! That first part really got me, Kublai Khan meets The ghost Inside feeling, perfect song!

[@amelietaillon5457]

This was my end of physical rehabilitation anthem. I sang this song as I exited the rehab center for one last time with my Reaper t-shirt. It was powerful 🤘😎🖤

[@MessianicFollowship86]

❤ to Andrew after all he's been through, bro you are a true fighter & an amazing talent & influential spirit to all the drumming & disability community 🤘🤘 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ✝️🙏 TGI forever

[@jojomaster]

I've already seen the guys live a few times. Anyone who knows the live shows knows that this song is absolutely danceable live. The whole concert hall will go wild with this song. Nobody will stand still.

[@coolercody]

Yeah I’m stoked to see this played live. The entire song is an arm swinger.

[@mattches6187]

This song has a bit of everything - Something old Something new Something borrowed Something Blue (& Gold)

[@kilroy19701]

Yes. This is the ghost inside I freaking love.

[@MarkerMurker]

Easily my favorite band ever. Not a single song is a miss.

[@MiiLL3R]

Love seeing you all release new songs! Can’t wait for the new album!

[@LinziL-fy6yk]

Looove this! From attending the come back show to this vid, it’s clear you guys are beyond back on track. Love that you included things from my career in the funeral industry & it’s accurate! SO bad ass! 👏🏼

[@nickcallahan2669]

Hey I was at that show too 🤙

[@ericjohnsonnnnnn]

God damn boys 🔥 so heavy and then that chorus is classic TGI

[@Odinson_89]

It’s fucking criminal how this isn’t a million views yet. This song slaps the shit out of me every time I listen to it!

[@raysauceda11]

been rocking hard to these boys since 2009!! They keep coming out with absolute bangers! I love you TGI!! yall always get me through the struggles

[@eggxacly9865]

How many breakdowns you have in this music?? The Ghost Inside: yes

[@DemonDaytonaTriple]

So good to see the boys back in original staff and I'm glad this track is such a banger I was a bit afraid after the last one 🙈 I've been running this up and down since release ❤️

[@CharlieViking95]

THOSE KUBLAI KHAN RIFFS IN THE INTRO THOUGH! edit: this is my favorite TGI song in a long, long while. Chorus slaps too!

[@mmmaxmmm83]

Can't stop listening. The energy and groovy vibe in those cuts! And then that kickass little melody on that one guitar during the chorus has those killswitch engage vibes. Sick tune!

[@brownpunk1794]

Does this mean a new album? Love TGI..what makes them stand out amongst a sea of generic hc bands is the little guitar harmonies..hits me in the feels❤

[@Decept1onCheck]

This is like writing a Returners B-side in 2023 and I'm fucking in.

[@billhawkins192]

Tyson Fury is pissed.

[@xshelbsterx7559]

This is a banger 🔥 ! I can't wait to see you guys at Rockville next year!

[@archaicruinx]

This is awesome. Stoked to hear more.

[@brandonpas4693]

This might be my favorite song they’ve ever released and I’ve been listening since Fury and the Fallen Ones in ‘08

[@OhrionReacts]

Absolute banger!

[@SceneCoreIsNotDead]

the kublai vibes are strong with this one! I love it so much! ❤

[@xjoemallardx]

Hope we still get some melodic TGI.

[@Nyeusi]

That chorus is melodic asf

[@painkiller666666666]

Sure, but heavy is best

[@georgecaudill7659]

Very cool song. The video is extreme. Great job!

[@JohnC546]

Loving this one. Mixing the more hardcore-inspired side of metalcore with a nice old-school core break in the middle.

[@IannYan]

I felt a Kublai vibes! another masterpiece!

[@xjoemallardx]

I need that tour!

[@stefanSMZ]

I hear more Varials in it. But yeah, it has a strong touch of modern hardcore

[@Thgrandfinale]

I fucking needed a song like that, hard riffs and pounding breakdowns! this is INSANE

[@aarondanforth2232]

I like the Power in the Song. Straight to the point ! I replayed the Song 5 times.

[@Ioperzu]

Still banging, pls never stop
