    Lyrics:
    I was born in the vacant
    Wasteland of the faithful
    You say prayers when you're scared
    To be careless and found ungrateful
    I was born a defender
    Of a hell made for sinners
    And never did ever forget
    That it's still well equipped for quitters
    I've been under impressions
    Of a God in the heavens
    Who strikes down all the heathen
    And fights to protect his children
    The Achilles heel in this world
    You gotta hold ground
    But you can't stick around forever
    You only feel when it hurts
    You wanna cheat death
    But you can't hold your breath forever
    I'm a man on a mission
    Working hard for the vision
    I preach love all around
    But I can't get these clowns to listen
    I will die as a martyr
    A brimstone firestarter
    And proud to burn down the town
    To drown it in the baptismal water.
    I can't believe it, I can't believe it
    I can't believe it
    My head is spinnin' round
    My head is spinnin' round
    My head is spinnin' round
    It's spinnin' round, it's spinnin' round

    This song kicked me in the face. When I got up from recovering, I asked for another kick.

      Also that would make sense, because Tyler worked with Paul (from mutemath) on Redecorate!

    This is the kind of song you play while cruising around town in your oversized land-yacht. That, or play in the background while livestreaming on Twitch.

  • @danielponik5263
    @danielponik5263 6 років тому +3

    I don’t think I go a day without listening to this at least once or more. The bass drop, beat drop, killer synth loop, guitar riff transition and ending drum solo. There’s nothing better in music right now.

  • @SSPspaz

    This song grooves so freaking hard. The drum fills starting at 4:38 transitioning to that sick beat at 4:46 --- so freaking smooth and probably my favorite part on this whole album. I'm going to miss Darren King so much going forward :\

    • @Thewanderer_378
      @Thewanderer_378 6 років тому

      i agree on those transitions for sure BUT darren is darren and can't be "replaced". hutch is hutch. more traditional. still has great chops. life goes on. darren (MM) used a lot of triggers and tricks to get some sounds. can't discard his talent though by any means bro!.

    • @SSPspaz
      @SSPspaz 6 років тому +3

      Oh I agree. Darren is probably a top 5 drummer on the planet in my personal opinion as a drummer myself. Someone like that is irreplaceable. I can't criticize Hutch though, because he's still 100x the drummer I am and if you can even partially fill the shoes of Darren King, you must be pretty freaking good. So I'm not down with all the Hutch hating. I can still love Mutemath in its current iteration, and still love Darren as a drummer (even though I'm kind of angry with him for not giving a decent explanation to the fans).
      When Greg left after Armistice, I was not concerned. The rhythm section always was the heart and soul of Mutemath from square one. Odd Soul reassured me that they were just as capable without Greg. When I heard that Roy left last spring I was a lot more concerned, but somewhat relieved to hear that he'd stay on and do some recording, just not touring. But this one hit me the hardest. I still have my doubts that they'll survive long without Darren.

    • @Thewanderer_378
      @Thewanderer_378 6 років тому +1

      could be bro. hard to find that groove again. hutch MAY stay on though. trust me. darren is one of my favs as well. got to work with the band a couple of times at festivals. darren was extremely intense. i swear if we hadn't chalked his drum riser, it would have been in the pit!!. hey, pray for the guys. i'm sure they would appreciate it.

    • @SSPspaz
      @SSPspaz 6 років тому +3

      Definitely praying for them. And for some kind of reconciliation if the breakup was messy and/or emotional. From an interview I saw with Paul, it seems like it was kind of tough for him to talk about. In the end, life is way too short to go through it staying angry with your brothers. I only just now heard about the release of Play Dead and Darren's departure, so things are still a bit raw for me haha. Fingers crossed that they'll continue to produce great music for years to come!

    • @lilmanjs166
      @lilmanjs166 6 років тому +3

      If you haven't heard the interview here, you need to. Darren does talk about a lot of stuff that's interesting, including his own reasons for leaving the band. Can't fault him at all after hearing it. Pressure, even if of your own making is awful. audioboom.com/posts/6597343-darren-king-formerly-of-mutemath-currently-of-sucre-premier-of-inside-by-sucre
