    Lyrics:
    You could be my savior when I'm in need of another one
    I could be your bait when you will hide from what you're running from
    I was medicated but I ended up where I was
    I was beautiful
    I was yet to be someone
    Yeah I know they won't let me in
    Yeah they don't, don't wear my skin
    And I know that the pieces fit
    Yeah I know what you meant
    Lay me down where you are or where you want to be
    There's a quiet breeze and it sings for me
    I was giving way for all of the stories I have chose to waste
    The bells rang out when you were carried out to keep the pace
    I was barricaded
    I was choking up from my restraints
    I was elegant
    I was yet to deviate
    I know they won't let me in
    They don't wear my skin
    I know where the fragments fit
    I know what you meant
    Lay me out on the floor
    Show off your display
    There's a lineament and it fills the walls
    Lay me out where you are, where I need to be
    There's a quiet breeze and it sings for me
    A ring of chain takes place of me
    But where am I?

      Huge relate. I was 16 when this was released though I didn’t hate it; I wasn’t really “Wowed” either. Coming back now that i’m 23 I have a whole new perspective on the album and damn, it’s so damn good

    Honestly i probably love youth more than this album. But really listening to more of their songs other than the first two released opened my eyes and im very appreciative of some of the songs on this album i mean theyre beautiful. Therefore citizen just never gets old theyre too important

    • @juliajensen8278
      @juliajensen8278 6 років тому

      I like youth better too. It's very sentimental to me it has been one of my most listened to albums the last few years. I've probably heard it hundreds of times.
      I love everybody is going to happen there are so many amazing songs, but youth still beats it.

    This album disappointed me cause it is really diffrent from Youth, and I was totally in love with Youth.
    But after 2 or 3 listening, I accepted the fact that their song has changed, and realise that this record is trully awesome.
    Like, REALLY awesome !

    • @xnosmokenoknivesx
      @xnosmokenoknivesx 4 роки тому +5

      Ik this is late, but I think it means that the speaker’s pain has taken control of their body and mind. so while they still might be able to function cognitively and physically, it’s not what they want. they might be inflicting self harm or be diving into bad habits against their will. so this identity that doesn’t want to self-destruct has pretty much disappeared, leaving the speaker to ask where they truly are.

      Renato Ferreira really? i felt youth was great but very simple lots of powerchords etc. As a guitarist i could figure out how to play almost all the songs on youth but only a few on this new album, its much more intricate instrumentally and the lyrics are also more intricate for example this song is better lyrically than any on youth
      ''Lay me out on the floor

      There's a lineament and it fills the walls
      Lay me out where you are, where I need to be

    • @cortizone121
      @cortizone121 9 років тому +1

      To me this album blends in to a group of other albums that sound similar or like it. It's trendy for a band to make a sound like this. It blatantly rips the most simple bits of the 90's grunge buzz, but sadly not in a cool Soundgarden way. More of a lame Nirvana way. This sound isn't fresh or new. It's just nostalgic.
      That being said this is like a 5 or 6/10 imo. Probably won't play a single song from this again.

    • @macbeth642
      @macbeth642 9 років тому +1

      cortizone121 every band rips off something. If you dont like it thats cool but thats your opinion. its a 9/10 for me and their pop punk stuff was way more generic .Ring of chain is easily the best song theyve ever written ive listened to it atleast 50 times in the last few days.
