Said the sceptic
Born and bred negative
No peace for the calm collective
There’s a cold war coming in
Go
Please let me know when it’s gone
It’s really not the best of times
And all we've got is guided by this light within
I’ll hold us both until the smoke clears
We’re suffocating
Sick of our society
Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead
Sick of always following
Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine
Sick of running on empty, pushing the blame
Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today
There’s no profit in poverty
And I’m running on empty
I’m running on empty
Running myself into the ground.
Said the sceptic
Born and bred negative
No peace for the calm collective
There’s a cold war coming in
Go
I feel the need
It’s a darkness disease
In this dead town, lights out
The creatures come out in the streets
My ears are burning
In this circle of eyes
Close the curtain and hide the knife
We’re stacking up
We’re piling high
We’ve gone too far to recognise salvation.
This is civil isolation
The bitter truth of the world is fucking sickening
Tear my eyes on your barbed wire facade
Divides of colour and small talk
Medicate for patience
Dig up the graves of our saviours
Civil isolation
It’s all gone right to my head
Wondering why we’re not all dead
It’s safe to say I’m not alone in this
There’s something deep within we miss.
There’s a line in the sand that we won’t look past
A cure for the pain but it’s out of our grasp
If all we love will leave us asking
Why do we deserve disaster?
Let me know
Please let me know when it’s gone
It’s really not the best of times
And all we've got is guided by this light within
I’ll hold us both until the smoke clears
We’re suffocating
Sick of our society
Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead
Sick of always following
Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine
Sick of running on empty, pushing the blame
Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today
There’s no profit in poverty
And I’m running on empty
I’m running on empty
Running myself into the ground. #whileshesleeps

Oh hell yes! This will be covered....

Sure about that ? :/

[@geowar67]

for the tuning i mean

[@erickrengifo565]

Te amo Nik !

[@nyft3352]

this whole album aged like fine wine, which hurts because it means the world has only gotten worse.

[@Tshegg08]

"I hope they aren't going soft" ITS ONE FUCKING SONG AND IT STILL BANGS

[@stealthsuit58]

Daamn, this is some of their best material yet. The vocals have improved so much since their older stuff

[@DaFalk216]

I don't see this as an "improvement", actually. Now they basically sound like any other band out there, especially like Architects.

[@maartenklingeleers9200]

not even a bit

[@abc123rofllol]

No problem Architects is my favorite band xD

[@rdellw2]

They were already sounding like architects tbh mate. Although I don't think they're that similar, they haven't got the low ass chugs and groovy open riffs. I can also tell his and Sams vocals apart easily.

[@alextownley9388]

Not even close lmao

[@Forboz]

The fact that the most viewed moment is the very begining of the song says it all

[@amaralnorthon]

"Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today". WSS always on point. Stay safe, everyone! We're stronger than COVID-19!

[@otaylorgoulart]

I thought This Is The Six would be their best album. Then they came with Brainwashed. Now this. WSS never disappoints

[@weirdocore]

And then So What, yeah like wtf is this band And im gonna see them live on Thursday ♥

[@No1WillMakeItOutAlive]

The lyrics of this band are fantastic. They speak exactly to how frustrated so many of us our with our now fucked up civilization that never ceases to destroy itself. We are screwed, and not many seem to see that.

[@wessteyrn7746]

- Lyrics always aggressive and full of meaning - guitar work way always interesting - Huge Improvement on the vocals that were already great - production feels more raw and different than previous work but I'll put it on the fact than they do everything in their own studio now - Overall vibe of the song amazing - Drum work right how you need it to lose your neck - Fantastic concept of putting an image of them being totally calm around a fire when the song is about feeling completely oppressed and disgusted by the system, which kind of give you the vibe of how we actually live in society. We're all brainwashed, living to survive and fit into 'the machine' when deep inside we know that were all dying and need to take actions to make a change. God damn it, this band is fucking amazing.

[@CSZDragon]

2:33 Holy... This part is awesome. The whole song is pretty good, but this part is the best.

so true! ^^^^^^

[@KruegerakaSilentdead]

hope it is not a complete new WSS ... I love their hardcore parts - they are pure manly eargasm But don't get me wrong - Civil isolation is one hell of an awesome track.

[@hayes4762]

GoodOldHavoc I don't expect them to change drastically, they are one of those bands that always has their signature sound, but at the same time they aren't afraid to try something new. I think they will always be the good old WSS we love.

[@KruegerakaSilentdead]

connor hayes well said :) no matter what I am really excited about the new album

"Sick of running on empty, pushing the blame, waiting for tomorrow yo save us from today" A BEAUTIFUL QUOTE

[@ivannazarov6266]

The fact that this song came out on my birthday makes it even more special 🖤

[@MrDeth777]

This band have the most amazing breakdowns ever...

[@olliewaddon2836]

There's a lot of comments stating a similarity to Architects and I feel like I should clear this up as a massive fan of both bands. I believe this has an Architects flavour in the terms of the relevant, political lyrics and the complex and bassy guitar with open string work. However this stands out on it's own and they have those anthemic parts which I feel Architects don't showcase in a lot of their songs but Architects doesn't need them as it's not them and they have enough grounding in what sound they are going for which is amazing as they are without a doubt my favourite band. But this is how music works: you take inspiration from other incredible bands and put your own twist on it. While She Sleeps, this new shit is banging and all the best with becoming independent as it's inspiring for many people and bands out there who should do what they feel is right, well done lads!

[@MyoticTesseract]

Imo WSS also leans closer to punk/hardcore while Architects is the more 'metal' part of metalcore (they have a lot of ambience to their recent sound as well, they're a very clean and calculated band). You definitely hear the difference the further you go in each of their discographies.

[@PrototypeSourri]

Over the years my musical taste changed a lot, but there are certain bands that always pull you back. While She Sleeps is one of them. This has to be one of the best songs I have ever heard.

[@MrHydez-mm9bc]

I honestly dont think that a band or album has ever hit me harder on a personal note. I can honestly say that they are my top #1 band and that this album has changed my life.

[@divyanshukumar6826]

Why does this song match the current scenario all over the world? 😳

[@sebastiansotys9539]

same feeling, stay safe brothers!

[@clipboss8052]

Because it is a song which manages to be "political" without being "political". OK, here's what I mean: sure these songs open up about the corruption found in our society but they intentionally (and smartly) never take a political side. Because no matter what ideology you subscribe to, our governments do very controversial sh*t all funded by corrupt politicians.

[@divyanshukumar6826]

@@clipboss8052 I must agree with this fact. Actually, I was referring to the global pandemic that is COVID-19 through the lyrics of this song. It felt a kind of prophecy.

[@CT-2525-k7z]

@@clipboss8052 i fully agree with you on this

[@blubidiblubada]

When you think while she sleeps can't get any better and they do everytime... fucking sick song! can't wait for the album

[@bail3yb]

So many of the songs they have match EXACTLY what the world is going through right now, especially here in the United States.... I’ve loved WSS for years now & finally got to see them live last year at Epicenter Festival. Now I listen almost everyday. It’s more than just their sound, it’s the lyrics that hit home in so many ways! ❤️ you guys!!!

[@aleksandra_in_the_woods]

Check out New Years Day - Epidemic

[@bornforthestorm]

so good again, and not only that these guys are exceptional musicians, but also human beings. The last time they played a show in my hometown they drove with us to a local pub after the show and we had some beers together, even if the time was little and their bus was about to leave in 2 hours or so. That showed me, that this people really care about the people attending their shows and their fans. And now it looks karma's paying back in the good way :) Hopefully WSS stays in the scene a bit longer, if one band deserves that, it would be them!

[@JohnC546]

I met them at Warped a few years back, got a great pic with them and they were really friendly. They were woefully underrated then (really small audience) but now I think they're finally getting the recognition they deserve even if a lot of fans are coming from the Oli Sykes collab.

[@outofthebloom9546]

you actually predicted 2020 with this song. Prophetic...

[@wuldntuliktonoptb6861]

Beautiful songwriting, if you dont understand the meaning of these lyrics you have been living under a rock!

[@Bloodhound__]

this song needs to be on Spotify asap

[@wellsbibo6175]

I can't put my finger on exactly what makes this band so intriguing, but they put out some of the most catchy, yet heavy rock/metal songs I've heard. They incorporate and blend elements of the metal genre in a way that almost makes you forget that you're listening to metal. I want to sing, meditate, and break shit within a single track. I love this shit.

[@hayes4762]

Honest question: Has this band ever released a bad song? Every song I listen to becomes my favorite song by them.

[@brandonlaude1765]

While she sleeps best band ever!!!!!!🤘🤘🔥🔥

[@lucasimonschlottmann9655]

I'm so glad that I discovered this band dude

!! Video was blocked but its back and I all i can say is thank you! You are certainly going to be gaining fans on this side of the world!!

[@graysongardner6956]

They need to add this song to spotify already!! really loving the way this band has evolved over the years. While im a complete fan of the era which they were way more brutal, they seemed to have only evolved and brought newer and better dynamics to their music these days. Its such a fresh sound and i cant wait to hear the whole album!!

[@TheJoker396]

A WWS, Beartooth and Blood Youth tour needs to happen!

[@nicob1272]

hell yeah

[@Dann1303]

Not after beartooths last album

[@crownthejeremy1144]

+Danny Birchall I don't see why people hate the new beartooth album. It's not that bad.

[@Dann1303]

Its just not nearly as good as the last one, and they kinda weakened down their sound after one album, however they do put on a killer live show.

[@crownthejeremy1144]

+Danny Birchall I wouldn't necessarily say weakened. They're just a big clean/heavy ratio than the last album. But yeah, they've gotten better during live shows

[@atratuschaosphere9683]

Pumped to see them live this week. Hope they play this one. Would love to hear it live!

[@KaosAkroma]

Sweet mother of gawd. I am just now finding out about this band and love every second of it. Keep on rawking.

[@HollowiikIsHere]

OMG Loz evolved. That voice is so incredibly great

[@BenWithTheN]

Saw you guys at Warped Tour 2013 in Mountain View, Ca. You guys played the same time as Memphis May Fire who is also a great band, but despite them drawing most of the crowd and a lot of people not knowing who you guys were, you fucking killed it and played your heart out for the people that did show up. Keep up the great work.

[@molineux199]

goosebumps all over. they have a studio in Sheffield that my friends live next door to,honoured to have met these guys!

[@billygeorge5063]

I love this band more and more with every released. It's literally not possible for them to disappoint me.

Even though it was quite simplistic, it was also creative at the same time. It feels like your self-recorded album will be your best yet. All 3 songs so far really delived!
