Tug of war, back and forth. All regard goes out the door. Set your sights on goals and awards. Become obsessed and watch success unfold. Decrease the morals, increase the funds. Don’t be too preachy if you want to be loved. Forget conviction, just have some fun. Mindless words can take you to number one. Say I’m selfish. Say I’ve changed. Say I abandoned what I set out to be. Say I’m different now. Say I’m lost but I’ll stay true no matter what the cost. I’ll stand and fight for what I love and know is right. I’ll carry on. I’ll carry on until my days are gone. You can try to turn me into something I am not but I’ll stay strong. I’ll carry on until my days are gone. Careful what you say. They don’t need to know what you believe. God forbid I stand for something. God forbid I stand alone. God forbid I tell my story. God forbid it offers hope. Sell your soul for platinum. Deny the truth for gold. You can be the next big thing if you turn your back on what you know. I’ll stand and fight for what I love and know is right. I’ll carry on. I’ll carry on until my days are gone. You can try to turn me into something I am not but I’ll stay strong. I’ll carry on until my days are gone. I will never be like you. I’m not a puppet on a string. I’m not one of your machines. I’m not doing this for you. I’m not doing this for me. It’s bigger than what you choose to see. I’ll stand and fight for what I love and know is right. I will carry on until days are gone. They try to turn me into something I am not but I will carry on. I will carry on until my days are gone!

*"Sell your soul for platinum...deny the truth for gold."*
That part hits hard.
Stoked for the new album!!!!
The great Adam LZ listens to MMF!?!?!?
This guyyyy!
Holy shit !!! ADAM !!
holy shit its Adam!!
omg adammm
Memphis May Fire will remain the greatest Christian metal band. Matty has grown so much and it's incredible. The message of this song is incredible and spreads a very well delivered message.
The devil wears prada are a better Christian metal band imo :3
Ya no freaking way ever that TDWP beats MMF
TDWP, ABR, FFAK, Oh sleeper exist and u gon call MMF the greatest christian band? I respek ur opinion but How Sway? How? Hooooow?
myyyyyyyyyy man :D
If you think they're the best Christian metal band you're sadly mistaken. Not saying they aren't good but I wouldn't say they're the best out there
With this album the band should be called Memphis on fire
My name is Memphis...................😅
But i like the joke
Whats up with matty always having a slimy liquid poured over him in videos lol
Hahahaha
"That's my Fetish!
I think the real question is why not ?
Maybe he likes slimy liquids poured over him in videos, gosh...
maybe its an extended metaphor of sorts?
People who dont like the lyrics dont seem to understand i think... He's talking about his relationship with Jesus and how being in a band other people tell him how to act, what to sing about, and to forget his morals to make sure he success in his career and / or life. He's pretty much saying no, I will stay true to my beliefs and I will hold the values of God higher what people of this world will tell me to do.
I really like this song and Im mad hyped for the new album.
This song is about Record Companies trying to make bands like these SELLOUT and go Mainstream... It's from the view of the executives.. " just have some fun. Mindless words can take you to number one" "Don’t be too preachy if you want to be loved". "Careful what you say. They don’t need to know what you believe" .. These are all things being said to him by the record company.. "Sell your soul for platinum. Deny the truth for gold. You can be the next big thing if you turn your back on what you know. But HE says.. "You can try to turn me into something I am not but I’ll stay strong. I’ll carry on until my days are gone. I will never be like you. I’m not a puppet on a string. I’m not one of your machines...BOOOOM!! I love this song!
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." (Psalms 23:5a)
Why is everyone complaining about the lyrics? The sound and lyrics are both pretty good, I like it and am looking forward to the new album
People just want something to bitch about
I know right.? It's awesome
because it's super preachy.
It's not even preachy. It's just way too simple cliche crap... Idk i used to be a big fan of MMF but then my lyrical taste just matured.. Try being as an ocean.. At least they have some meaning in their lyrics aside from "i'll stand and fight" for every song
Dead Things In The Trees so a posive uplifting message is preachy 🤔🤔
this will be their best record to date, i feel it
Idk, dont think they can top The Hollow imo
+Jomowi yeah the hollow was a masterpiece
This album is gonna be great
But The Hollow is just unbeatable
this, or The Hollow.
+Joshinator60 Literally
This album will be nice
But not as nice as The Hollow
Love this song and the message it sends, be different and stay strong don't be a sheep and follow the crowd. Amazing song.
Believing in something an estimated 2.1 billion other people believe in isn't "being different" or not being a sheep. In fact, I think it's quite the opposite. Not saying he believes what he believes because everyone else does, but he's no different than any other Christian saying he believes what he knows is right and he's gonna stay strong and blah blah blah. Other than that the song is pretty damn catchy lol
Or how many of those 2.1 billion people actually believe and practice Christianity instead of just saying "Yeah, I guess I believe in God"?
***** No problem :]
+Reservoir Dog according to the Bible Christians wrestle against principalities of this dark age. the media is controlled by people who are not Christian and want the opposite message, just look at pop music. Christians who work in the media are regularly told to "sell out" so I can see why he writes songs like this. out of those 2.1billion, a lot are catholic and they believe a different gospel that Paul says will lead them to hell, and most of the others truly don't know Jesus either. probably only about 50 million real Christians
+Luke Assande Amen, So true. evn Colton Dixon was told not to talk about his faith on american Idol cause it might make him lose votes. thats a good exampple as well.
So fucking glad they didn't pull a OM&M and are still good.
For real
of mice and men didnt even release the album
Every song they've released from it has been trash.
Yes but every song that has already been released, except for Pain, was trash.
+BloodThievesAtTheDisco I think he's talking about Restoring Force. It was pretty bad. Completely different from their older stuff.
I really hate to see comments like "I miss The Hollow". Each band at some point must grow and do what they want, The Hollow was a great record but Kellen write all the instruments in each record from The Hollow, so it's silly that people say that they have changed. If you don't like what they are doing, then get out of here! True fans support at all times, I'll support them and I'm convinced that this will be a great record.
It will be an amazing record I can tell. Also, it sounds kind of like they are going back to their roots (instrumentally wise anyways) to Sleepwalking from the way it sounds. I hope.
I get that, but it's also a true fans duty to tell the band when they suck and they need to get their shit together. lol I love Memphis Mayfire
Joshua Whitley Yeah, I get what you're saying. But they're far from sucking though lol.
The hollow was awesome, but I loved Unconditional the most
My favorite album is Challenger. I met Matty he told me that if I liked Challenger then I'll love the new album. So it should be good!!
Is it only me thinking of that Matty's sounds so diffident than the previous album?
It's a little different, but I like it.
I feel like his been working on his lows, its been paying off ( or so it seems in this song )
His voice is way deeper than the other stuff
Yea I don't like what he's doing mow
It reminds me of his vocals on Sleepwalking.
Guys I just wanna say thank you for the tunes. They have really helped me out these last 5 months since I've re-dedicated myself to my recovery and I'll be sharing this video as well as others. Thanks again for being awesome
One of the first and best bands I've ever seen live. After hearing this? I can tell it won't be the last time I hear them live, because I'm gonna have to get me some more tickets just to hear this being performed
This is my favorite song right now and some of the best lyrics I've ever heard !! Thanks for creating this song Memphis May Fire. You guys are incredible
One of the best metalcore songs I´ve ever heard.
Absolutely amazing, especially because of the lyrics.
I really like this, such a good song. I'm glad Matty's putting his beliefs in his lyrics because that what he feels he wants to do and I respect him for that. Can just tell its gonna be another good album
Jesus is worthy of the screaming at others to believe the truth 🙏
Still one of the all time greatest bands in history and with such a good meaning behind what they do. Gotta love it, gotta respect it.
Freakin love you matty, so much for respect for you. Carry on brother, regardless of what anyone thinks, you stay true, and you stay real. You inspire me and thousands more. It takes an unbelievable amount strength to not be swayed from the path you've chosen, no one else could do it better than you. Stay strong dude, much love
This song was so beautiful ❤️❤️ it's so difficult as a Christian to not compromise your faith when culture screams at you in every direction to give in. This was just the encouragement I needed. MMF never fails to write some awesome songs.
Think this may be there best album yet
matty if you get the chance to read this. I am from a very religious family. Mormon to be precise. I just want you to know your an inspiration to more people than you know. off all faiths. you're a role model as a musical figure, as well as an amazing example! keep the faith and music coming!!
So, SO good. They've always been so relatable and convicting with the lyrics, but these plus the new sound in the chorus just take this up a notch. It's just so popular to hate on them these days, so I really respect this response.
I haven't been a biggest fan of the way this band changed musically since The Hollow, but I have to give major props to Matty for staying solid lyrically and thematically throughout his career. It takes a lot a faith and conviction to stand for your beliefs in the face of an industry that has an unspoken agenda to eradicate it. Bravo, Matty.
So so grateful for this song! Looking forward to the whole album having lyrical content like this! Thank you Matty, and thank you MMF for standing strong in your faith in a world that's gonna hate it.
Lyrics are everything today's mainstream musicians don't want you to hear....spot on. Awesome song...better message.
It feels like this song is for all those fake fans that think they own the band and the direction the band should go in. In other words you can get over it cause more people like it than dislike it. This album is going to be killer and o can't wait!
That is a perfect explanation!
For me I kinda thought the screaming parts was there old record label and kinda what they wanted MMF to do. But I could see your explanation as well.
It's definitely about record labels and the greedy business type. Hence the man in a suit.
possible, but it DEFINITELY alludes to religion the entire song.
+johnothetree Yeah, did I say it didn't? The song is about pressure to tone their message to reach a larger audience. It's pretty simple, guys.
This is going to be insane!!
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Ezekiel Darian Instablaster =)
I loved stay the course, that's my favorite song, but I love everything this band produces.
Matty Mullins has not changed but grew for me. I feel more power in his songs, as something really important to him AND it feels good!!!
(Sorry for my english if it is bad)
Great job Memphis may fire! In France we love your song! :)
Great bass in this song. I could keep on repeat for the bass alone.
Memphis May Fire just hit a whole new level.. Incredible song and the lyrics are amazing!
we need this motivation back in our music. Its like everything they have worked for has went down the drain. and this album is going to be the best, motivating album of this year.
this is extremely powerful. this through the roof,and to the moon amazing. this is a true masterpiece.
the strength in each of the words...
I am stunned. I'm just...I'm blown away.
MMF have made my jaw drop again.
absolutely incredible.
I love his voice so much.
Don't you just love after a day of grinding with the squad then you hop on UA-cam and one of your best mindset bands release a new song and it's fits perfectly with your life at the moment.
Nomaste
I've been a fan for a few years now and I think mmf of only getting better in their mousiv and meanings love you guys
Is it wrong that when I see '' carry on '' I always think about Parkway Drive
No, because Parkway Drive is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
Indeed mate
So agree with you, but not the same sound :p
Lol same
or bless the fall haha
I love this song
This is one of the best MMF songs
Ha, OK.
Teufelshund Go ahead, defend your point.
I will always believe that bands like yall keep music alive for me. there's not much music I can truly feel nowadays but I can always count on mmf to throw something special down
Welcome back MMF! Singing with purpose again! Love it!
Stick to your beliefs, Don't let riches sway your path, Don't do it for them, Do it for something bigger, Do it for what you love, Do it for God...! Amen to these guys. Keep the faith, stick to your guns.
The punk scene has become so "counter-cultural" that they don't realize they've become a culture intolerant of counter-culture. Good on MMF for sticking to their guns.
i respect them so much for bringing this message to the forefront of the industry.
damn this is one of the best bands ever! i hope they never change
This song made me so happy! So happy and proud of MMF and Matty for sticking to what he believes!
Join me in prayer for Matty. The enemy is definitely after him. Keep the Faith!
Say I'm selfish, say I'm changed, say I abandoned what I set out to be
Say I'm different, now say I'm lost
But I'll stay true no matter what the cost
I'll stand and fight for what I love, and know is right, I'll carry on. I'll carry on
Until my days are gone
You can try to turn me into something I am not. But I'll stay strong. I'll carry on
Until my days are gone. i am so happy i found them i listened to unconditional and their old stuff obviously but i know people have preferences about stuff but unconditional was good i loved it and i get not all do but it was the fact that matty will do what he loves and speaks truth i like that about mmf i love that they incorporate religion god bless you matty keep on man keep fighting what you believe in fight for your beliefs man god bless you keep praising our lord and savior 😇😀🙌 yes there will be people that will always be "keyboard warriors" and hate on his lyrics tone message but you know what he speaks truth and anyone that hates on it this song was meant for you. he wants to do whats right and nothing can change that he wants to fight and spread his religion and you know what the power of god is so powerful i have many friends the were religious and i started a chrisitan club at my school and prayed for all them and once i told them all god loves you they broke into tears and now they are devoted christians so his lyrics are amazing hes touching so msny hearts with his songs
To those saying Memphis is being preachy. That is addressed in this song. So just move along and carry on. And that moment you realize Memphis has been sending the same message since their debut full length "sleepwalking" so Carry on Memphis. Bands can preach whatever message they want, and if you don't like it. Use that volume nob and turn it counter clockwise or drag that volume down or to the left. Good day haters, and Memphis keep on pushing out the tasty jams.
This song is about Record Companies trying to make bands like these SELLOUT and go Mainstream.. But He's saying he will NEVER SELLOUT and that they will do THIS kind of music til the end! I Love It!
@@lilgoku7018 this didn't age well lol
@@FighterMindset2024 Welp.. They lied, LMAO
You know what? I like this. I am glad to see that you are all keeping the general same sound as you have had in the last few albums but still seem to change a bit but in the best ways. I am also glad that your songs still have meanings behind them.
WHOA, EVERYONE. ITS A METAL BAND THAT DOESN'T GO ALL RADIO MUSIC OUTTA NOWHERE. bless
Lol RIP old comment from 2016
😂😂😂😂😂
This song is about Record Companies trying to make bands like these SELLOUT and go Mainstream.. I Love It!... It's from the view of the executive.. " just have some fun. Mindless words can take you to number one" "Don’t be too preachy if you want to be loved". "Careful what you say. They don’t need to know what you believe" .. These are all things being said to him by the record company.. "Sell your soul for platinum. Deny the truth for gold. You can be the next big thing if you turn your back on what you know. BOOOOM!!
@@Traemandir 😂😂😂
Just found this song, it's great! Definitely checking out more of this band
im excited for this album
I fell in tears now. It's amazing song!!
It's a lot of fun reading through these comments and then listening to this song again because everything a majority of the people are saying in the comments are basically what Matty has quoted in the song. Real talk, good shit mmf. Instrumentals are killer as always and the lyrics always get to me. Looking forward to this new album 👍🏻
I like how the lyrics are vague so I can interpret them how I want
Lawls
OnyxSkiesXIX well obviously I know what his message is. This way tho I can hear the words and still enjoy the music much more. Because we all should have conviction of what is true and we don't all have to agree
+David Krolak I get you man haha
More stoked about this album than Of Mice and Men's
How have I watched this like 5 times and just noticed that another guy was sitting at the table? Lol
Looking forward to the album! Thanks for standing for what you believe. It isn't always easy.
i'll stand and fight for what i love. i love it this song
Anyone else wish they could do as the song says and stay strong no matter what they say of you and carry on your relationship with God?
My tour list
Bloodline severed
Silent Planet
Fit For A King
Memphis May Fire
My gf & I love this song since it came out. greetings from Florida.
I'm glad they haven't changed their sound too much, I like it just like this. *cough OM&M cough*
Who the hell cares if a band changes their damn sound..it's not a freaking crime. It's not a bad thing, bands do it all the damn time..Of Mice & Men are still a good band that makes good music.
+Sheree Arend Finally, someone who gets it.
+Sheree Arend nah they're actually trash now, I can't stand listening to them personally. But everyone has their opinions my guy
IKR, om&m are shit now
+Sheree Arend Agreed. Bands do that all the time. They get bored of playing the same shit every day. Same reason why BMTH isn't the same band as they were years ago. I actually like change.
Oh how I've missed this band... So ready for this album to come out!
This is such an awesome song!!!! Can't wait to hear the whole record!!! ♥
Loyal fan here, this is the best thing I've heard in a long time. I needed this!
Keep on going MMF, carry on something that u guys believe it's for the love and positivity in our community. Mors cera hora incerta!
The only band that never failed me when they release new music ❤️
this is just what i needed
Damn. One of the few bands that is still so fking awesome without changing their style. Love it!
I wish y'all would come to Tampa Florida. I would love to see you all in concert. Been a fan since 2010 and now I finally have the means to go see some shows but no one good really or crazy prices.
Much much better than unconditional! Loving their new sound so far
Oh man Memphis May Fire is back!!!
Ehh. Not 'The Hollow" back.
It's still enjoyable. You people need to stop clinging to the past and look at the future.
+TheMoose and the future is shit. matty ruined this band after going god loving. not bashing him for his beliefs but turned the band into a cookie cutter -core band.
^
I love how Matty Mullins still places a Religious message behind all of his music. It works so well.
THIS IS SO GOOD! I hope the rest of the album is similar to this. I get a Challenger/The Hollow vibe from this, and it's so great. Unconditional was pretty disappointing.
I get a Sleepwalking vibe.
I do too actually...
livfree studios Especially on the "God forbid" part. I really hope the rest of the album is like this.
Unconditional was amazing! Stop it!!!
***** It was great, but I think this album will be better. Far better.
Thank You so much MMF. This song has helped me PUSH myself through the DARKEST times of my life!!!
This is what I needed this year. I'm struggling but this helped. A great way to end the day.
Goodness, I love Matty. Staying strong in the faith in the face of adversity and temptation.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Memphis May Fire is like a fine wine, they only improve with age... This band is so much more then just music or art... It changes lives and inspires. If I could choose just one reason that made it worth living in this time period. It's that I got to experience Memphis May fire.
yay!! ^-^ you go matty dont be ashamed of jesus!!:p
+John Lewis. he made a post about how it is. so my comment is :)😊
+Ashley Luna if you can't see what he is singing about you need to open your eyes
It is obvious the song is about his beliefs... she isn't wrong at all.
eyes are fully open :D
Yeah!
holy shit, i haven't listened to these guys for so long. this track is so refreshing!
Memphis may fire vai vir quebrando tudo com esse novo álbum,estou ancioso 😊
memphis may fire... great inspiration of hope bringing love and much more to those who need it. thank you lord god for such amazing band.
Musically It's actually the first MMF song since Sleepwalking era, that i really enjoy.
Albert Suchan
at first i thought you said “musically is the first mmf song” and i’m like what? 😂
I love seeing haters. Instead of talking crap about other people's success go get your money up and stop hiding behind your phone. This band is AWESOME. And way more successful than the crap you're talking. I love this song. ❤️💯
I feel like this song goes to everybody that says they sold out or they changed musically
I connect with this song way too well. Especially now, I definitely need to hear this.
I never knew 'change' meant '*insert band here* turned shit' to some of the people in these comments... Of Mice & Men, Crown The Empire, Memphis... change is GOOD. Change means progression
What made me like these bands (of mice and men and crown the empire) does not exist anymore. This is not progression.
if a band writes and puts out the same thing for 5+ years, how do you expect them to expand their listeners/fanbase???
+Matt East I don't even see people complaining about the sound. It's just the lyrics are garbage
So because they don't do what made you like them, they aren't moving forward? Whether or not they are, that's not a really good reason to say this isn't progression.
I'm seeing so many people say the lyrics are bad and I genuinely don't get it. I'll admit they aren't exactly metaphorical, but MMF has never been a very symbolic band to begin with. However, what the lyrics accomplish is something they've always done, which is convey a strong message that's meaningful and something the band can actually stand behind.
Man this guys are like the good wine , as they get older they get better
this best be good. i can't take another band going to shit like crown the empire.
U FUKIN WOT M8
Vincent R Gilmore why do people keep doing that to me...
We are unoriginal assholes
But crown the empire is still good…
eh, cte aren't the same as they were.
Lyrics are so good! Can't wait for the whole album!
Its ironic how a lot of people are complaining about MMF lyrics being too basic or christian to a song about them not caring about what you say. Clearly nothing you say is getting to them so u shouldnt even waste your time.
This song is about Record Companies trying to make bands like these SELLOUT and go Mainstream... It's from the view of the executives.. " just have some fun. Mindless words can take you to number one" "Don’t be too preachy if you want to be loved". "Careful what you say. They don’t need to know what you believe" .. These are all things being said to him by the record company.. "Sell your soul for platinum. Deny the truth for gold. You can be the next big thing if you turn your back on what you know. But HE says.. "You can try to turn me into something I am not but I’ll stay strong. I’ll carry on until my days are gone. I will never be like you. I’m not a puppet on a string. I’m not one of your machines...BOOOOM!! I love this song!
one of the best MMF's songs with "alive in the lights" . I rlly like it
They must have really like Wage Wars Blueprint album. Love it!
LOL if you're saying that MMF took this from WW's album, that's false. This has been a topic since Unconditional was released. It is an amazing song tho, i agree with you there.
+Vlad Skov I'm not talking about the topic. I'm talking about the structure. The way Matty uses his vocals and the organization of the instruments is what I'm talking about. The tone the abundance of double pedal bursts and the sparatic riffing from Kellin. It's a trait MMF has always had but not in such a way until now. I love it. It just give me a blueprints vibe is all.
This is the first song I heard from Memphis May Fire sounds pretty nice
Best MMF song?
no
Lyster Reis I guess I agree, some of their previous stuff is better than this. But this song remains awesome anyway
Yes, sir
Teufelshund You guy cannot accept MMF has evolved? You forgot to mention Challenger and Unconditionnal.
Then I was just asking something, I wasn't looking for being insulted. "Keep your mouth shut" (obviously you know where I found this sentence).
Maybe from this album so far
my wayward son...just came to say that.....ill leave....
