Lyrics:
Oh Na Na I Don’t wanna be a Bystander
Watching the world go, Oh my GOD!
I don’t wanna be a Bystander, I don’t wanna be a…
BYSTANDER!
Witness THIS!
Hello Good morning, caught in the monotony
I’m drowning in my own thoughts right now
Too comfortable with mediocrity
It’s amazing, time we’re wasting
Got Paranoia, the effects are crippling
Am I talking to myself right now?
This overthinking is paralyzing
Lately, going crazy
Our train of thought ordered by remote
Through the screen, through the lens of a telescope
Our train of thought ordered by remote
Through the screen, through the lens of a telescope
Oh Na Na I Don’t wanna be a Bystander - Watching the world go, Oh my GOD!
I don’t wanna be a Bystander, I don’t wanna be a…
Oh Na Na I don’t wanna be a Bystander - Watching the world go, So Bizarre
I don’t wanna be a Bystander, I don’t wanna be a BYSTANDER
Witness THIS!
I’m suspended caught up in the spider web
Got to untangle myself somehow
It don’t got to be complicated
Baby, it don’t faze me!
Oh Na Na I Don’t wanna be a Bystander - Watching the world go, Oh my GOD!
I don’t wanna be a Bystander, I don’t wanna be a…
Oh Na Na I don’t wanna be a Bystander - Watching the world go, So Bizarre
I don’t wanna be a Bystander, I don’t wanna be a BYSTANDER
We are uninvited, watching from afar
We are all misguided, divided, falling apart
THIS IS WHO WE ARE! VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A TELESCOPE!
VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A TELESCOPE! CARRY ON WHEN YOU GOT NO HOPE
VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A TELESCOPE! VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A TELESCOPE!
CARRY ON WHEN YOU GOT NO HOPE!
VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A TELESCOPE! VIEW THE WORLD THROUGH A TELESCOPE!
Oh Na Na I Don’t wanna be a Bystander - Watching the world go, Oh my GOD!
I don’t wanna be a Bystander, I don’t wanna be a…
Oh Na Na I don’t wanna be a Bystander - Watching the world go, So Bizarre
I don’t wanna be a Bystander, I don’t wanna be a BYSTANDER
#SumoCyco
Man I remember watching stuff Skye Sweetnam made as a teen and loving her voice and lyrics even back then. I am glad to see that her style has continued to evolve and stay in line with the stuff I like.
Big change for her. I still watch her in the video Into action with Tim Timebomb
Me too, glad she stuck to her punk rock roots
Sumo Cyco is one of those bands that brings everything to their live shows. Hadn't heard of them before I saw them open for another band in 2019, and was immediately blown away. They played first, and to be honest, they rocked the crowd harder than both the other bands that night.
Stop it. We are blushing.
Was that the Jinjer concert by any chance?
I've seen them three times so far, 2015 (w/Coal Chamber) and twice in 2019 (w/Combichrist and w/Jinjer). When I got my second 2019 Sumo Cyco ticket it was "Who is Jinjer?" Now I have all of Jinjer's albums as well. :-) I missed some 2015-2018 shows, so now I follow them on Twitter so I won't miss anymore Toronto shows.
Saw them with jinjer :)
@@Slayerrrrrr killer concert
I can't believe I didn't know about Skye's band until just now. Loved her as a kid.
Is first time i listen this, and can't believe she's Skye Sweetnam.
I remember songs like Get tangled up with me. This is awesome
Literally same. She was always so cool ♡
The fact Sumo Cyco make their own music videos, build the sets, do their own special effects, make them 10,000X better
Thank you 🙏🏻
It s hugeee it has 10000 details and effects 😍
soooo true!!!
I agree - next step growing their own food & brewing their own beer! :)
The independent artist revolution is blowing up right now.
Me after a minute: "what in tarnation?" Me by the end of the song: "oooo na na!"
🤣😂
Almost sound like that Kontrust band. Sounds crazy as hell
@@gabmichael8546 whats drugs are you on bro
@@DavesWheeling "christianity" is a helluva drug. Makes brain not work.
@@EvilBonsai Nah this dude is on another level
1:39 is the most watched segment of the video. I even do not know why...🤔
Feels like something that could be in NFS Most Wanted or Underground. Totally nails the high speed vibe
i totally agree
All driving game soundtracks lately suck, i wish they’d get sumo cyco
@KpEMuKoBcu
nah
Those two are still the best game soundtracks :D change my mind
skindred is why you feel that way
these guys made every show they opened better. cant wait to see them live again
Thanks for the support
@@SUMOCYCO saw you open for Jinjer in St Louis, Missouri... you guys totally killed it!
I was blown away by their performance when I saw them tour with Jinjer. If you get the chance to see them live, do it. Even if you don’t think their sound is for you. They bring it live!
Appreciate it Jen! Can't wait to get back out there!
They are simply awesome live, because you can see and feel that they love what they are doing and that makes everything 100 times better.
Saw them live in the Atra Bar in Hamburg, probably the smallest Bar I have ever entered, there were liek 30 people or so and it was incredible.
It's good to see that even though they now seem to be a part of the Napalm Records family they still have that signature style in their Music Videos.
Will never change!!
Just looked up the lyrics... holy crap this is actually kinda deep. The way I interpret it is that it is a person afflicted with procrastination or ADHD and is finally starting to fight back against complacency. Basically they don’t want to stand idle and watch the world pass them by. That hits right in the feels as I was just diagnosed with ADHD after 38 laps around the sun and am, myself, trying my best to fight against it after trying my best and failing multiple times. To anyone that needs to hear this: “stop fighting yesterday and punch today in the FACE!” You got this
Hey Jeff, glad it resonates. Rooting for ya!
i really needed to read something like this today... thanks man i really aprecciate it!
yeah i feel that
We're in it together Mr. Jeff. Cheers and hope you kick ass every morning.
Oh shoot
I was fortunate to see them open for Mushroomhead a few years ago in Milwaukee. She has such a personable charisma. The crowd was 100% into them. I'm glad to see and hear them still. Cant wait to catch them live again.
That's how you have a healthy relationship -through a telescope from the house across the street.
カッコよすぎる！！！
2:35 when you slow it down, so we can relish the soft tones and harmonies, then crank it back up…wow, such a fun and creatively produced video
I saw them in Indianapolis when they opened for Jinjer. She really knows how to liven up a crowd. Lol she pointed at me and told me to stop leaning against the bar. She then ran out into the crowd, jumped up on the bar right next to me, downed a shot of whiskey, and then electrified the crowd some more with their music. They were outstanding. That was the last show I saw before civid hit.
Can’t wait to play again.
I was right next to that bar as well, was a great show all around :)
@@SUMOCYCO Can't wait to see you guys on stage again!
So damn jealous dude!
I was at that show as well and they put on a hell of a show!
My mom told me about this song. I'm definitely hooked. This is a great song!
Cool Mom!
I just saw them last night. I had no idea who they were and now I'm hooked!!
I didn't really know how to precieve this ... After careful elaboration. I concluded this as 🔥
You rule! Thanks.
@@SUMOCYCO hell yeah stay fiesty !
Same. BYSTANDA!!
Yeah, I agree. How do you perceive this? She's definitely hot... so is the song fire or is it just her? Listen again! It's really good and the lyrics are poignant. Good stuff.
@@JasonSmithPsychedelicTherapist i precieve it as both catchy,and hard hitting, not too mention, Canadian attitude. Not so in you're face attitude, but at the same time don't fuck around.
These guys got potential to break loose and own their own style 🤘
It's like if No Doubt and Skindred had a baby.
That's two of their major influenced, the third one they tend to name is SOAD (and sometimes Refused)
ua-cam.com/video/ULCUEWDd9_0/v-deo.html enjoy
Thank you! It's been a while since I listened to Skindred and her delivery was nuking my recall system.
That's what they even say about themselves
Legit this has so many vibes. Like I get the good old no doubt meets modern pop punk.
That said they've got their own personality and God damn am I keen on this.
Thanks for the luv.
3:21, I'm digging the windmill!
I'm so happy for new Sumo Cyco! I still watch all the Lost in Cyco City videos religiously and goddamn Sever is beyond the point of being smoking hot, Jebus Christ 🔥
Awwwwwww thanks
this will be their breakthrough i can feel it in my bones
Thanks for the confidence!
I hope so they deserve more attention.
Came for the chicken wings, stayed for the music 💓
haha you're the best!
Top comment goes to this guy right here!
So many chicken wings will be thrown at there shows
If you’re onboard, I highly recommend seeing them live. If you’re not onboard, I highly recommend seeing them live. They’ve managed time and again to turn a crowd of apathetic individuals into a group of head banging and moshing Cycos. And they run everything themselves, so you can walk up to them and talk to them after the show. Skye gives the best hugs!
You can see Skye's passion for music in everything she does
This is it ! Hell yeah Sumo Cyco they kick ass the girl is cute and she can sing and roar I love it 🔥🤘😖🤘🔥
This reminds me so much of Skindred ... Never heard of this band. Pleasently surprised.
And there i am, instantly looking up more songs, finding "Move Mountains" with, who else, Benji Webbe of Skindred :D
@@NukedBird Skindred is a huge influence for them. Sever (Skye) and MD loved making that video with Benji
Thanks for the new support.
@@SUMOCYCO Happy to, instantly shared with my "Wacken crew" .. oh, and thank you for making music and keeping some people smiling and bouncing in these times ;)
Sumo Cyco continues to impress. Can't wait for more!
Thanks man! Hope you're doing ok!
more is out =)
I’ve been a fan for almost a decade now, and I am still in love ❤️
cheers Cindy
To the merch table, and who is selling swag? None other than Sever, such a sweetheart too, energy unbridled
Cheers
@@SUMOCYCO can’t believe I neglected to ask u to sign up my shirt, it’s so lonely now, on the bright side, Sept. 2019 is a great memory, last show b4...cov.... someday soon we shall meet again!
I saw them in St Louis opening night of the Jinjer tour and Skye crowd surfing from the stage to the bar, taking a drink then crowd surfing back to the stage was amazing! I will definitely never forget that show!
Loved that night! Think it was the first show of the tour?
@@SUMOCYCO It was the 1st night of Jinjer's tour in the US
The drums on that chorus bring me back to this song over and over again the track is pure energy
Omg muah loves it
I accidentally discovered this video the other day and it immediately grabbed me. Since then Ive been through their entire back catalogue and music videos. This band are f*cking awesome! Such a good sound and energy. They've totally got their own thing going on and the fact they do everything themselves is most impressive. I can't believe I've only just found out about them. Definitely can't wait to check them out live when things normalise.
You rule James! Welcome to the family
Waiter: Would sir like a menu?
Me: I would like something with hints of Skindred, Riseagainst, hints of Mindless Self Indulgence and a 90's punk/metal fashion sense
Waiter: Ah, I regret to say we are all out of Sumo Cyco.
Me: *Leaves*
Hold on. This amazing video was all done by yourselves? I find that more impressive than the music even.
It's so creative, with so many throwbacks to 90s weirdness.
On top of that the music has like this vibe if 90s Eurodance and 00s nu-metal evolved together instead of going away and created this weird but catchy lovechild.
I'm intrigued!
We’ll be posting a behind the scenes video soon to show everyone how we made it all happen.
This video totally brings me back into 90s 😌😌
You clearly haven't been a fan of them for long. Go watch their first handful of videos.
Wow, love when people are rude as hell in the comments instead of just respectfully saying what they don't like about the song
i wish this band nothing but success and many many years of staying together
Well this has definitely made my day!! The energy in this is unreal!! You guys definitely got a new fan in me for sure!!
Sweet! Nice to meet you Cory
im hooked
Mo.m showed me this been a fan ever since best music ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘
i cant stop having this on repeat
Thanks! appreciate the support
So rude how they're not household name in heavy music.
thanks 🙏🏻
Seriously.
They're getting a bump up as of late though, and deserve it, they're fun as fuck! Hoping to seem em' live again soon! 🤘🏻
Yay! They're getting more recognition!!!! YES PLEASE more music! im so excited to see them grow
thanks for all the support
Amen on that
I’ll say it, Click Bait Metal. Came for the girl, stayed for 4:35 for the girl. Now....the damn song is stuck in my head.
It worked! 🤘🏻
Sweet! you should check out the rest of our weird DIY vids on our YT channel
@@SUMOCYCO Why did you have to curse me like this? I can't stop watching :(
@@TrueHolarctic , same story)) Came here two days ago and already watched this video about 15 times and still can't stop))) Somebody, pls, help me))))
@@SUMOCYCO , already done) Waiting for more)
Saw them twice in 2019 open for Jinjer. They're a great band!
To all of you who are not familiar with Sumo Cyco: they've been around for ten years as an independent band. Go check out their channel!
If they are so independent why is Napalm posting this video?
@@RickBomhof They were independent. They signed to Napalm recently.
Yes, I saw them open for Jinjer, best opening band I’ve ever seen!
Will do
@@metalflorida And really nice people as well.
Look at you guys all grown up and with a record label. I'm so proud. /Tears up
Hope to visit you guys before too long.
If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, I'm jamming to this when the zombies attack! Awesome song!
I like sumo cyco, I have even meet then in person, but if there was a zombie apocalypse I would prob be listening to death metal or something
We should all be thankful for somebody like you for distracting the zombies enough with this horrible song while the rest of us get away!! You are a hero that will never be remembered!!!
@@joeycase7939 No need to be such a jerkwad. If you hate this song, then bug off
Go ahead Skye!!! 💁🏼♀️
This is the first time that I listen to this group and I don't know what to say. I mean, why is this so crazy, cute, hardcore and original at the same time?? I loved it!!
@@12horsesinatrenchcoat Ok, I will do it! Thank you!!
Welcome to the CycoFam
Welcome to your new addiction
Found them a few years ago, when they opened for Jinjer.
Oh and they’re sick live aswell!
Randomly popped up in my feed and randomly clicked it. I'll never regret that moment.
Sick! Check out the rest of our stuff at our YT channel
Clicked for the thumbnail. Never even heard of you up to 5 days ago . Now a total fan . Love everything about your music, your videos , your image. Working through all your stuff and just loving it.
This song is quality and the most stunning thing about the video is learning you created it all in your loft ! Quality
Thank you! 💜
Been a fan for years love their getting more exposure.
I did not know that Harley Quinn was in a band, awesome.
The best song and clip I saw this year.
Nice!
Played with these guys for both Jinjer shows in Alberta back in 2019, and they fucking slay.
Congrats on the release guys ❤️
thanks man
@@SUMOCYCO absolutely. Can’t wait to share the stage with you guys again 🤘
Alberta absolutely needs this music!!!!
feckin love this and the effort you put in to the videos too, outstanding work!... and I definitely haven't been watching them back to back this afternoon, instead of working, like I should be... definitely.
You know I first thought that you were the type to make a bad song with a great perv video. But to be honest, it's a great song and a great perv video...awesome!
This is like if old school no doubt went the metal route instead of pop and you know what I freaking dig it.
Nailed it.
@@chrisrmorgan831 thank you! I have my moments! Like when I heard baby metal for the first time and said “this is like if dragonforce had a baby with a DDR arcade machine” 🤣
I saw them open for Jinjer in the fall of '19. Killer live band and full of energy. Never saw a lady singer crowd surf , get into the mosh pit and command them to crouch down during a break down and then explode. Skye is a great performer and fearless.🤘
Same they are awesome live ,I talked to the guitarist for awhile after the show super humble nice guy
Appreciate the kind words
Almost 1 million views!!!!✨✨✨
Rewatching to celebrate a million views…you guys deserve to break it big!
Another banger that will be awesome to bounce to when we can see you live again!!! Love the video and cannot wait for May!!!!!
Either can we!
Didn´t know this, very catchy and i love the late 90s/early 2000s vibe!!
Thanks. Glad you get it.
Part of me is like "nah..."
And the other part is "Ooooh nana I don't wanna be a bystander"
It's just so catchy XD
Excellent! Sent here by Crissy Salem Metal Mascara. Said you were great, I have to agree.
I love the almost old school Sumo Cyco sound present in this track. Reminds me of Interceptor (which isnt a bad thing) and I'm vibing with it. Can't wait for the album 💙
Good call!
Oooooo na na! I can't stop listening. This song is the essence of what is great about Sumo Cyco.
Luv you Markus!
Saw them at 2015 Warped Tour in OKC. They were awesome! Been listening to them ever since!
Sick support! Thanks
According to UA-cam 1:39 is the most replayed bit of this video 🍑
Top stuff. Few bands have such a unique aesthetic, I love it.
🙏🏻
Ngl a new vocalist would make it soo much better
@@soilthestillborn4949 what o.O
@@roerchen i personally don't like her voice at all it's just not good imo but i respect others opinions as well but this girl needs to refine her voice a bit, it sounds flat, her highs sound weird to me ik they're close to black metal highs but just shittier imo.
Her cleans could use a bit more training and definition.
@@soilthestillborn4949 she's a professional singer for .. decades? are you jealous or something?
Come, come, y'all are welcome as part of the Church of the Chicken Wing!
Sumo Cyco being the best AGAIN!
haha OMG!
Hahahaah we need a tshirt!
Absolutely! The Chicken Wing Army of Cyco City 😆
Skye, Matt and the boys NEVER let us down and their live show is nothing short of sensational - can't wait to see them again 🎶💜🎶
Agreed! Top notch live band. So much fun
Oh nana
Finally getting the recognition they deserve! Let's goooooooo!!!!!!!
appreciate the energy
Some watches Tank The Tech.
May is shaping up to be a good month. Already preordered a vinyl from napalm and just got a bundle from the cyco store. Love the sound cant wait to hear more. Love these guys
Cheers! Thanks for the support
It grew on me, I don’t understand why.
2 years later, and I'm still OOH NA NA-ING'!
Fantastic live band... 👍👍👍
Can't wait to see you in Germany again!
Can't wait to play Germany again!
Where you're right you're right
If you wanna know more more more about the lead singer she's the one who's kicking the coke machine. ❤
That feeling when what you're referencing is almost 20 years old. Time flies.
i love this comment
Wowza!
woah cool! and that's a memory i totally forgot i had lol
Thank you for the tear in my eye
Awsome! keep up that amazing work! Hopping to see more of you soon and hopping even more to see you live if you ever come to Barcelona! Loved you live yesterday by the way!
I seen them with nonpoint they rocked the hole place
Sever, you are so consistent 😭😭 These videos have the same editing style as the ones from the Babydoll Gone Wrong era. I don’t regret finding you from the Barbie Diaries movie I had when I was a kid 💙💙
Me too ❤️
sumo cyco signed with Napalm?! Yes. Napalm is my soul now, hell yeah
Glad you like it!
@@SUMOCYCO y'all are great, stay the best
did you guys know skye made the pink mask used in the anchorwoman clips? she is a DIY queen.
what struck me the most is the reference to They Live.... great video
I have to see them live.
“Bystander” is now Sumo Cyco’s most watched video EVER. Even more views than the ceiling fan video.
Yes half naked woman tend to have that kind of reaction....
@@daniellee5147 Whatever. I'm just glad another video has gotten more views.
@@daniellee5147 : Or, hearing a band that's owning it right now. They have a style, a sound and energy behind it. If you don't like it then fuck off.
Damn girl!! You've come a long way since you were "kicking the Coke machine". 😀
If you haven't done it already, I think Sumo Cyco & Motionless in White would be a killer show.
Ready for more
all the stuff I like in one video
Thanks
Although I’ve never enjoyed much from this band, this song is actually pretty catchy. I dig it!
Possibly winning you over Mitch??
Possibly!! I really love the front woman. The only reason I know this band is from seeing the video where she smacks the heck out of her head right as she was taking the stage. Haha I look forward to more though. Keep up the good work, and watch your head!
Lol. Will do.
300K+ congrats you just surpassed all your previous music videos, only thing left is the ceiling fan video lol ✌️😎👍
😚
haha that damn ceiling fan video will haunt me until the day I die... haha
@@SUMOCYCO haha =) no worries you will have 600K soon =)
@@SUMOCYCO At least it’s been monetized.
We love you!!!! Keep making music like this Skye!!!! I too don't wanna be a bystander !!!! Lol
Very nice video, I love it! Those giant spiders though
Love from Philippines! I always love pink on Sever 😍
I got this song several times in my head today.
Yass 😉🤘
love it!!!! they never disappoint!!!
