LYRICS
Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
Cause I can’t find my way back home and I don’t wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself?
And everybody else
Cause I can’t fix this on my own and I don’t wanna do it alone
Had a talk with myself
Try to smile and wish me well
Feel I’m a broken shell
Hard to lie when you’re overwhelmed
It still hurts when you’re numb
Every walk becomes a run
It’s gettin’ hard to hold on
When you come undone cause
Lately everything around keeps changing
I been thinking that maybe, maybe I’m to blame
Maybe we’re both the same
Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
Cause I can’t find my way back home and I don’t wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself?
And everybody else
Cause I can’t fix this on my own and I don’t wanna do it alone
Alone
Alone
No I don’t wanna do it alone
It’s hard to look back
When you have to face the facts the person that I was
Isn’t coming back cause

I like this song. Don't care who it may sound like. My daughter listens to pop, rap and some other stuff but not metal, she however likes this band and can listen to their music. It gives us something to have in common. And trust me....it is really hard to have something in common with your teenage daughter when you are an Iraqi War Vet Metal head who loves sports.

[@shredder3371]

Wage War kind of reminds me of I Prevail, and that's not a bad thing. Aside from the fact that they both have a screamer and a clean singer, they have a wide range of songs that are both heavy and intense, and songs like this one that are slower and more melodic, but all of their songs are meaningful in some way. That's what I appreciate the most about them. I'm so glad I discovered this band and I can't wait for this new album!

[@phantomtearsca]

This song actually reminds me a little bit of Chaos from I Prevail's Lifelines album.

This album, Pressure reminds me a bit of the amity affliction. The choruses they create sound somewhat similar vocally like when they sing higher or lower.

Been battling a crippling drug addiction for going on 12 years.. this song speaks major volumes to me. It feels like the lyrics are telling the story of my life.. this band has helped me so much. I have 2 amazing children and a loving family and friends that need me around. I can see so much clearer than I used to. I feel so much closer to home than I used to.

This may sound weird for a song like this. But, does this song make anyone else just feel something. Like, it just makes you look inside and realize how fucked up the world has made you, how cold you are you are to people... how much you push them away because you know you're fucked uo and can't explain to people they shouldn't get close because you're just gonna hurt them or worse... and it just... makes you cry.

People complain about this being generic but being balls to the walls isn't necessarily the most original idea either. You keep complaining about artists being generic and they'll work themselves into an early grave trying to appease you. It's their art.

[@occiferfigpucker4840]

It's funny cuz Oh Sleeper came out with a banger of an album. Unique and brutal. These guys sold out.

[@testingmyaudioaddiction3452]

Occifer FigPucker people like you is why heavy music will never expand and become more popular than it is. You don’t want these bands to make the music they want. If they already made money doing the music they started with, it is only smart business for them the make music that can actually be on mainstream radio. People that get mad when bands make music palpable to a bigger audience’s taste need to sit down and shut up. This is an amazing song and shows growth as a band instead of being a stagnant entity.

[@barto4586]

I don't get your point. WW have been one of the most generic bands in this genre since forever and that hasn't changed with this album either. When someone points out that they are generic, then they do this because it's true and even die hard fans can't deny that.

[@dante93nero]

@@barto4586 ikr? the point of liking wage war is because most of their singles are balls to the wall bangers that can you listen on repeat and not think much of it. The fact that they are trying to expand doesn't surprise me considering their first 2 albums were pretty much the same.
