Underoath - Desperate Times, Desperate Measures

[@benfreiler4054]

The drumming in this song is peak Underoath. I revisit this song often and have since I was a teenager

[@Stefani151]

Ahh to be 14 and rocking out to this with headphones on, or early in the morning while getting ready for school, with black eye shadow, snake bites and all black wardrobe. I’m 26 now and still rocking out to this in the gym or I’m the car with my toddler! Good old memories

[@shoshannah5401]

I know right? 😭

[@isaiahmccoy9419]

Black sleeves now 🤣🤣🤣 still going hard

[@Alux_curly]

Youre still SO YOUNG! Live it up! I remember skating to school in my skinny jeans and long hair rocking out at 16yo. I'm 32 now :(

[@FathomMane]

Im sorry but every underoath song needs to be listened to with volume all the way up. Underoath is the best

[@Gorillaverde]

I Can't get enough of Underoath's music ... so much energy , I love it!!

[@ChiefleafKazuki]

The very band that introduced me to metalcore. It's so sad they're gone but they're not forgotten to me.

[@MrKillerswamp]

***** Check out their Facebook page. They're coming back

[@alexwilliams9189]

***** same dude

[@ihavefaith4ever]

Giruga x Hakusho OMG really :)

[@MrKillerswamp]

Astrid Miriam i think so. They are teasing something

[@poshjaul641]

Giruga x Hakusho they just confirmed they're playing Self Help this year

[@BlueKid37]

This is the greatest Metalcore song I’ve ever heard.

[@chrisb2402]

Heard this on madden years ago came back to hear it again.

[@Fento999]

Madden 09😪😪

[@hcwaytobe1104]

Same my dude, when madden wasn’t dog shit

[@breninbrooks3045]

I swear to baby Jesus this is one of the best bands my ears have been blessed by

[@Ashleykaynee]

These lyrics are so eerie for the times we are in right now. A world lost in the sound of separation.

[@Miikeeeyyyy]

LYRICS: I've been crawling around in the dark for a while. Sprawled out across the floor. Not collecting dust anymore. Define me a parasite. Define my host. Trapped beneath the floor. I slowly waste away. Now I pull my frail body into the chair. And look me in the face. Oh, disappointments, so disappointing. This may be my last one. It's gonna be good and hard. It might be a touch out of key. When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. I'm afraid that this is really happening. When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy Oh, God the noise! Is ringing in my ear. It's so unclear. I hear them talking. But can't make out the words. Speak up. Speak clear. God, where have I been. I'm terrible company. With zero apologies. My God where have I been. Where have i been. While I sink to the bottom. I'll sing out as it fills with water. I hope I've done enough. When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy When this thing breaks. I will be you, you will be me. I'm afraid that this is really happening. I'm worn out. (Where have I been) I'm worn thin. Where have I been) I will never break through. (Where have I been) Let me out

[@tankbxy7609]

still my undisputed favorite underoath song. i get hyped every, single, time.

[@tjk21504]

One of many bands from that decade with amazing drummers, that had a killer voice as well

[@Thomohawk21]

Please share some of your favourites? :) As one myself, I’d like to check out more Aaron’s haha

[@abrahams.ortega9583]

While the whole world is fighting because of "Despacito", I'm here, in the greatness of nostalgia

[@hannibalx23]

Warped tour was so much fun... these homies were a big reason why. Good times.

[@leflop4808]

I loved this song on Madden 09

[@newtypexzerox]

This song was my introduction to Underoath and Metalcore, its still as good now as it was back then. These guys are amazing and i'm so glad i got to see them play last month, hands down the best show I have ever been to. I really hope they get in the studio again.

[@sarahmoify]

I can safely say the same

[@wessteyrn7746]

For those who don't understand the video: A lot of the lyrics from this were made from Spencer's overcoming his drug addiction and reinforce his relationship with God (since from what I know, there are/were all all christians). here is my interpretation of the video. The boy represents Spencer's current appearance and that old man at the end of the video represents God that sends him an angel. The band represents the soul of Spencer, the pure, the good, the great out of Spencer. And that part of him (the band) is locked inside a box cause of all the drugs Spencer had been having at the time. The angel removes the box out of Spencer mouth, forcing Spencer to follow it to wherever it goes. The translation to it in real life would be that everytime there's no more drug in your system, your addiction to it forces you to follow anything/anyone that can give you some more. No matter what it takes to get it (Hence the name of the song "Desperate Times, Desperate measures") . At the end of the video, He then gets to a point where following the angel that took the drug he's looking for leads him to God. He then gives him the box, which to him contains something he needs (the drug). But God lead him here and put him in this situation to set his soul (the band screaming inside) free. The whole band performing the song, as well as the lyrics go about the desperation that the real Spencer locked inside the box need to be set free for the evil him to be locked inside the box. "When this thing breaks, I will be you, You'll be me" You can also see that towards the end of the song when Spencer is desperately screaming "I will never break through (I refuse to give up on you). Let me out let me out" and It ends right when the boy opens the box. Another interpretation of the video could be that it's the other way round. The band represents the evil side that comes with taking drugs and that old man at the end of the video represents the Devil that tricked him into opening the box. But the reason I'd likely go with the first interpretation would be cause, right at the end of the video, the boy opens his eyes on the bed and you realize that all this video was actually a dream. Which means that God sent him a vision through his sleep telling him the only person that can set him free from his demons is himself and nobody else. Also the following song on the album is too bright to see, too loud to hear. Which is pretty much about Spencer waking up from all the nonsense he's been doing from his drug addiction, and asking forgiveness for all the wrongs he'd done and also asking the lord to help him find his way back home. Home being the lord's kingdom (could be our world, could be heaven). Hope that will make the video more understandable now :D

[@maybe183]

For me, this song was 'Underoath 101'. My friend brought the cd, told me to pop it in my player. So I did what he told, put on my headphones, select this track, and as the intro started to play HOLY SHIT THIS BAND IS AMAZING! WHY DIDN'T I EVER HEARD THEM BEFORE? I'M GONNA BUY THEIR ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY! Best decision of my life.

[@electguitarz]

My God where have I been, where have I been? Underoath, you are an inspiration to all.

[@E40kGeek_Tactical]

These guys will always have a special place in my heart. Helped me through some rough times and they are always that band I see myself coming back to

[@trevorrobinson4572]

[@M0nkiDRufi]

Define the great line is truly a masterpiece.

[@jetroeribal1539]

It's still ongoing. They'll be having a tour with Bring Me the Horizon and Beartooth in March 2017

[@niels3395]

2018 and "Lost in the Sound of Separation" is still the best full length Album from Underoath

[@JALMRZR]

Agree, still the best!

God, I still remember the feeling of counting down until the time this video would be posted. It was such a huge deal for me at the time! I can't believe I was only 13

[@killabenz09]

Bro, I absolutely loved that. God definitely helped me through the darkness in my life with UnderOATH. It's good to see someone else sees it more than just music.

TRADUÇÃO Estou rastejando Por um tempo no escuro Espalhado no chão Não estou mais juntando poeira Defina-me um parasita, Defina meu hospedeiro Preso sob o chão Eu lentamente defino Agora eu puxo meu corpo frágil para a cadeira E olho para o meu rosto Oh, decepções, tão decepcionantes Esta pode ser a minha última Vai ser bom e difícil Pode ser um toque desafinado Um toque desafinado Quando essa coisa quebrar Eu serei você Você será eu Tenho medo de que isso esteja realmente acontecendo Quando essa coisa quebrar Eu serei você Você será eu Vamos torcer para que isso seja de curta duração e cheio de tontura Oh Deus, o barulho Está zumbindo no meu ouvido É tão confuso, tão confuso Eu os ouço falando Mas não consigo entender as palavras Fale alto, fale claro Eu os ouço falando Mas não consigo entender as palavras Fale alto, fale claro Deus, onde eu estou sido? Eu sou uma péssima companhia Sem desculpas zero Meu Deus, onde eu estive? Onde eu estive? Enquanto eu afundo no fundo Eu vou cantar enquanto ele enche de água Espero ter feito o suficiente Quando essa coisa quebrar Eu serei você Você será eu Vamos torcer para que isso seja de curta duração e cheio de tontura Quando essa coisa quebrar Eu serei você Você será eu Tenho medo de que isso esteja realmente acontecendo Estou exausto Estou esgotado Eu nunca vou superar Estou exausto (Onde eu estive?) Estou esgotado (Onde eu estive?) Eu nunca vou superar (Onde eu estive?) Deixe-me sair Deixe-me sair Deixe-me sair

Rude skinny jeans, band tees,lip piercings, and gauges man those were the days 😔 hanging out at hot topic listening to all the new music I discovered BMTH and Underoath there

[@ctravis91]

remember TRIP pants?

[@thomasmoroiu]

Those low guitar notes with Spencer's vocals at 1:26 are so damn good

[@MsScorpion452]

This song is just...AMAZING. I love it.

There are songs that gets old but you'll end up searching for it out of nowhere and here you are

[@Wmariah94]

I think its funny when people are just now finding this band when they came out in like 1999 :D they will always be my favorite band since 5th grade lol when I discovered them.

[@pokepositive3782]

2020 nostalgia I was in middle school in 2009 these guys were the best miss those days

[@WoodrowMcDougall]

Awesome riffs \M/

[@xbm7931]

...I will always have THIS. Things change....people change...sometime for the good, sometimes for the other....but THIS, regardless of time periods, I'll have. Shout out to the fans who just had to come back.

[@Redundance]

Couldn't have said it better myself...Zao may have started Screamo or "hardcore" but Underoath gave it a new light and perfected it.

[@ProdByClockwerk]

I know that Underoath like to have a "live" feeling for their records but LITSOS is one the cleanest/best produced/mixed albums of all time (and that is a good thing)

[@DaDoubleDee]

Agreed. Lost in the Sound was defiantly their best mixed record. Disambiguation would of been perfect if it weren't so compressed :(

[@babiieystar]

love this songs ALOT !!! great job

this song always reminds me of spring early summertime for some reason

[@WinteringHeart]

I've been listening to underOATH since Cries of the Past. I used to be a huge fan of the heavy metal genre, but kinda outgrew it. Most of the bands didn't grow and change. But I still listen to this band, and they never fail to disappoint me. Fuckin' sick.

[@cheeserock4]

I hope you don't mind, but I'm taking this. I love this.

[@DrummerEvan1]

Dude Spencer’s vocals sound so sick here

[@blast_beast]

R.I.P. Underoath :( The band that got me into heavy music.
