Lyrics Raaaa As I breath I can feel a faint emotion in my lungs And not mine Empathy has screamed it's name As I dream All this energy has formed itself a face It watches me Colours come out from grey Cautiously We find the space Where others run to hide Peering through the walls we see A curious mind We need to accept the fact that is We don't know everything And the ones Who have learned this Tend to see Answers Deep within your skin Where you can never gaze I Am One When I can feel Strangers around me Frozen still From all of their pain I feel helpless I Feel them here When They're motionless But that won't change The fact I can be Someone who can save everybody still Now that I know I'm not helpless When they're motionless Countering the thoughts of this time bomb Ticking down, close my eyes and Breath I can Beat This Fucking thing Heightened sense of empathy, a slight burden But I'll perceive it as a gift to help the lost We've become the ones To help guide this world away from the grey Use the gift they gave A strange power Light from empathy We Are One When I can feel Strangers around me Frozen still From all of their pain I feel helpless I feel them here When They're motionless But that won't change The fact I can be Someone who can save everybody still Now that I know I'm not helpless When they're motionless It's not in our thoughts It's not in our bones It's in our hearts And stems from the soul Every life we touch Benefits our own Lead life with love And you'll never be alone It's not in our thoughts It's not in our bones It's in our hearts And stems from the soul Every life we touch Benefits our own Lead life with love And you'll never be alone It's not in our thoughts It's not in our bones It's in our hearts And stems from the soul Every life we touch Benefits our own Lead life with love And you'll never be alone
How come music being pure rage, lyrics telling to be happy and get a life, and video being a "wtf is happening" thing, are all combined perfectly to create a music masterpiece?
❤ I love OIS, but they arent the only positive message. Hatebreed is another good example. OIS reminds me of them. HB wrote for abuse victims, OIS writes for positivity.
Bro same here! I was just scrolling Shorts when I heard a HEAVY ASS BREAKDOWN play in my headphones! Turns out it was their song "The Blight" and I am now in love!
Where can I find the lyrics? This song is hitting home for me but there's a couple parts I couldn't quite make out. I feel for you I lost my father 12 years ago and it still hurts
@@destinrowe4585Sorry for your loss as well. I know what you mean. It can be 10, 20 or more years and it would still feel like it just happened. The lyrics are in their description box 👍
Started watching you guys when you came up on my YTShorts, and while I've never been the biggest metalhead (think old school meta/rock and Nickelback) because I have a sensitivity to certain sounds that cause my ear to feel like something is stabbing into the actual ear drum. I decided to take a leap and listened to the actual songs and read through the lyrics and I couldn't help but get emotional. Music doesn't often move me, but this one did- This and every other one you have put out. Thanks for being awesome metalheads and sharing your sound with the world, brothers ✊
Hey lads if ye ever tour in Europe I'll bake bread for the lot of yah! Yer music is helping me stay strong to help others! -bear hugs to you! Love - a metal dad
The song was already a banger, I'm certain the video will be, too. Edit: Lmao, fell asleep and missed the premier, but I was indeed correct! Loves how there was some humor sprinkled in too, got me chuckling a few times.
Ohhhhhh the Metalhead Hunters video makes a lot of sense now! So THIS is why there was a metalhead's nest in the middle of the forest! Dylon was just protecting the baby bird by chasing intruders away! 🥺
I cried man. This isn't a song about just empathy. It's a song about being an Empath. Completely different. The lyrics hit hard and I absolutely loved it. Good job guys keep up the good work
LMFAO 😂 that was one experience I've rarely felt. Funny video, rage filled tone with pure innocent lyrics. Absolute mash of chaos to create a wonderful piece. Good work man
Man, I just discovered your band with your Instagram channel, and a fcking love it. The voice, the melody, the drum, everything hits loud and I feel like I'm 17 and discovering metalcore again. So much feels. Just keep going, and I'll keep on listening!! 🤘
Either that this might be the most positive Metal artists out there or that I haven't listened to Metal ( and its various sub-genre ) enough. I didn't even know the lyrics yet and the song makes me happy. And that I like the red bird headbanging all the time, even when it's flying at the end.
I don’t think I’ve ever, in my many journeys of metal bands, felt such an impact with lyrics in a song like this; you guys are incredibly inspirational, I can’t wait to see what will come in the future for you 👏
Literally the very first note started out just like "Wings of a Butterfly by HIM" which is another killer song. I just so happened to notice it immediately. :p
I found your channel from your Shorts and decided to try out metal, and started with you guys and this is just my first time hearing this song but i think it's really good, thought i wouldn't like it but i actually do, will be listening to other songs made by your band
"Lead life with love and you'll never be alone." Kinda just hits on a different level... made me tear up a bit. I had a friend not too long ago that was always pessimistic about everything in life and life in general, perhaps a little suicidal. Then, she broke off contact and i've never heard from her again, don't know what happened or what happened to her. I wish for her to hear this and feel the same way i do, even though i always tried to tell her whenever i could. I approve this message, for all the people that are going through something rough.
My bf has those massive walls built around his childhood traumas and he uses alcohol and weed to numb his pain. I've been trying to smash his walls desperately, confronting him with his problems, but over the past few weeks I am starting to realize that I just need to use my heart love and empathy to help him, then he will be able to heal himself. This song sums it up perfectly.
You can be as compassionate and loving as you want - and of course that’s a wonderful thing - but that doesn’t mean he will heal himself bc of it. You cannot take responsibility for him deciding to make a change, and being kind to him hoping that is what sparks his healing is just another way of trying to do that. It’s not your job nor within your power to fix someone else, no matter your intensions or desire to do so. Just be cautious and set healthy boundaries is all I’m saying. It can very easily lead to him dragging you down with him otherwise. Much love to both of you.
@@riomochaccino2108 Thank you for your comment. You are right. I want to be there to support him, but he has to take the steps himself. No more smashing walls.
I'm so sorry to hear about that..... I just hope you know that as long as you are being a positive loving support for him, then you are doing the very best that you can for him. To be honest with you, addiction is the hardest thing ever to go through for some people and unfortunately it truly does take being completely ready which is really really hard to do and sometimes we might think we're ready when we aren't and then when we do mess up it hurts that much more and feels like we just fought and did all that good work for no reason... And it's also really painful just knowing that you are letting everyone who loves you down and it makes you want to even be that much worse... So I just want you to know that being a loving person in his life is a very amazing thing for you to do and I know that he really appreciates it it will be okay❤❤
Such a refreshing sound from the PNW, proud to be a Vancouverite listening to this. You’re music moves me in way that I haven’t felt since back in the early 2000’s.
Not sure what the ultimate plans are for the band but imagine a crowd full of people singing that last minute of "lead life with love and you'll never be alone"? Chilllsss.
What a fuckin badass band. Just found you thanks to reels. Im seriously blown away. Your music, lyrics and humor are just perfect. Cheers from Poland \m/
Yup ok watched it first and just listened to the sick music and vocals, then watched again with the lyrics and cried, so i guess im gonna watch it one more time to see the video and then be on my way ❤
I've been watching your metal meme videos on Facebook for a good minute and for some reason am just now checking out your music. Your whole discography is fantastic, very well written instrumentally and lyrically and I absolutely love that this video has meme tones but still does so well for the song itself. You guys are great and I can't wait to see more from you!
I've been watching your shorts for months and I love them, but TIL, there's two of you, and you have an awesome band. You guys are the embodiment of the soul of metal that i love. Thank you.
This song really made me realise how much of a gift empathy really is. I love being able to help others going through things similar to what I have experienced.
I was jamming out till I read the lyrics, then I teared up 🥲 Its nice to come across a metal band that isn't talking about inappropriate stuff. Keep up the great work ❤️
I had a self care task today which was to do something that brings me joy. I decided to rewatch this video. I had forgotten just how amazing it is! It made me laugh and cry (in a good way) all over again, and definitely brought me joy. Mission accomplished. ♥
By a long stretch, the most wholesome Metal artist out there right now. And for anyone who hasn't yet checked out their shorts - erm, as in short videos on UA-cam - definitely do so right now! :D
BHAHAAAHAHAA!! xD That "kicking the snake scene" got me straight good laughing on my ass😂🤣🤣👍 And the fact that the music is really good too, so these two things made me subscribed to the channel, good job!😎🤘
I don't know how but I'm so much greatful to the boredom I've got from studying that led me to scroll down reels and discover you guys , your music is so underrated and yet so wholesome 🔥 when i graduate I'll make sure every patient will come to me will listen to your music XD
I've had this song on repeat all day! It's phenomenal! I love the wholesomeness of the lyrics too. It's so refreshing and the music video is 🤌 Glad I found your music!!
These lyrics are meaningful, AND POWERFUL! I had to recently put down one of my own cats because they were old and sick, and this song helped my emotion through it. Thank you!
No joke you guys are easily my favourite band, music is so positive and makes me feel way better, got my first band tee and its one of yours, you guys are fucking legends.
Lyrics
Raaaa
As I breath
I can feel a faint emotion in my lungs
And not mine
Empathy has screamed it's name
As I dream
All this energy has formed itself a face
It watches me
Colours come out from grey
Cautiously
We find the space
Where others run to hide
Peering through the walls we see
A curious mind
We need to accept the fact that is
We don't know everything
And the ones
Who have learned this
Tend to see
Answers
Deep within your skin
Where you can never gaze
I Am One
When I can feel
Strangers around me
Frozen still
From all of their pain
I feel helpless
I Feel them here
When They're motionless
But that won't change
The fact I can be
Someone who can save everybody still
Now that I know
I'm not helpless
When they're motionless
Countering the thoughts of this time bomb
Ticking down, close my eyes and
Breath
I can
Beat
This
Fucking thing
Heightened sense of empathy, a slight burden
But I'll perceive it as a gift to help the lost
We've become the ones
To help guide this world away from the grey
Use the gift they gave
A strange power
Light from empathy
We
Are
One
When I can feel
Strangers around me
Frozen still
From all of their pain
I feel helpless
I feel them here
When They're motionless
But that won't change
The fact I can be
Someone who can save everybody still
Now that I know
I'm not helpless
When they're motionless
It's not in our thoughts
It's not in our bones
It's in our hearts
And stems from the soul
Every life we touch
Benefits our own
Lead life with love
And you'll never be alone
It's not in our thoughts
It's not in our bones
It's in our hearts
And stems from the soul
Every life we touch
Benefits our own
Lead life with love
And you'll never be alone
It's not in our thoughts
It's not in our bones
It's in our hearts
And stems from the soul
Every life we touch
Benefits our own
Lead life with love
And you'll never be alone
Thank you for this!
Thx
Thank you, Allie!🤗💕…(I’m autistic, too.)😊👌

Metalcore was a hell of a time lol you had to be there
@@iiiSK8orDI3iiiFacts!
because not all screaming are rage or anger.
That's heavy metal
Harsh vocals are not always about rage ya know
I'm sure OIS is the most positive Metal Band I ever witness. God I love this band.

i hate IOS
@@d0d0_61g rah what for ?
@@Killmeideserveit me too i prefer android
You know what’s really funny, I found these guys off their UA-cam shorts. Now I’m loving this track.🔥🔥🔥
Dude me too! Was not expecting them to be such an awesome band. Was pleasantly surprised.
Bro same here! I was just scrolling Shorts when I heard a HEAVY ASS BREAKDOWN play in my headphones! Turns out it was their song "The Blight" and I am now in love!
Same
I think this is going yo be the same for a lot of people
Same I did not expect them to be so good and heavy but I LOVE THEIR MUSIC NOW
next evolution of birds: no longer needing wings to fly, just headbanging into/during flight and let the sound waves carry them to their destination
This teared me up 😢 reading the lyrics and the meaning. Made me miss my Dad. ❤ Lost him 4 months ago. To me a powerful song. Loved it.
Where can I find the lyrics? This song is hitting home for me but there's a couple parts I couldn't quite make out. I feel for you I lost my father 12 years ago and it still hurts
@@destinrowe4585Sorry for your loss as well. I know what you mean. It can be 10, 20 or more years and it would still feel like it just happened. The lyrics are in their description box 👍
Lmao I feel dumb I found them thankyou and keep strong it does get easier throughout the years, just always keep the good memories.
@@johnnichrashv.d.s5437 Thank you, sorry for your loss as well. Definitely gets harder during these family gathering times.
Haven't seen mine in years, it doesn't fully stop hurting but it does get better
I'm not crying, you're crying. And I'm crying.
I had this on my Spotify playlist for some reason for about 2 months, finally listened to it and holy shit is it good
I love the contrast of screaming metal music with cute bird plushies
Started watching you guys when you came up on my YTShorts, and while I've never been the biggest metalhead (think old school meta/rock and Nickelback) because I have a sensitivity to certain sounds that cause my ear to feel like something is stabbing into the actual ear drum.

@Opalinskyband I’ll be holding you to that… 😈 🤘
1:44 the build up and drop is nutty
I won't get mushy, truly a phenomenal song. But also my two favorite things metal and birds.
Me too
I cried man. This isn't a song about just empathy. It's a song about being an Empath. Completely different. The lyrics hit hard and I absolutely loved it. Good job guys keep up the good work
Wooow that's fire but the bird's plush killed me 🤣🤣🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
First metal song I ever listened to; thanks for introducing me to this amazing genre.
me too man!
Welcome guys
That’s surprising it ain’t Metallica or sabbath, but this is a god start too!!! “Poser” or not ur welcome to this community
Boy you are fortunate for hearing a song this good, rhythm and lyric wise
Stop making such good music ! i can't drive when i headbang !! 💚🔥💚🔥💚
This is sickkk
and so positive for a metal band?? Definitely listening to more from this band.
You guys raised your own angry bird!
As a non-empath, this song has actually helped me better understand how empathetic individuals feel.
there's no evidence that empaths exist. some people are just better at reading nonverbal cues
The lyrics are incredibly powerful.
Exactly what I needed at this time.
Thank you guys so much!
🫂💚
LMFAO 😂 that was one experience I've rarely felt.
Funny video, rage filled tone with pure innocent lyrics.
Absolute mash of chaos to create a wonderful piece. Good work man

This band does not have a bad song..all their songs in my opinion are truly perfect the right amount of everything..
Opal In Sky is the definition of aggressive love/positive
How to not get easily amused & sad + headbanging in the same time
