    LYRICS
    Stand straight keep it right on track
    Gotta step on the outcast
    Your deck is stacked
    Talk soft right behind their backs
    Before you know it you’ll be one of them
    Keep kind words up out your mouth
    Throw their name in the mud
    Now you’re heading south
    Don’t let them see your face
    A facade’s what you need for the fame
    So blame the game
    All of these petty things
    Everything you want it seems
    Trusting far as you can throw her
    Give a bit take a lot
    Give it everything you got it
    Worth every bit of exposure
    All curtains drawn
    A stage of smog is setting up the scene
    Your final call won’t blackout all the fake I see
    I never meant to fit this mold
    I’m simply doing what I’m told
    Painted up and watered down
    To a shell that’s hollowed out
    Before I knew I became one of them
    Pull every string attached
    Verify all the tropes
    Ain’t no turning back
    From your point of no return
    Make a habit to cross every bridge that you burned
    All of these petty things
    Lambo’s and your shiny rings
    Go as far as you can throw it
    Give a bit take a lot
    Fill your cup it’s not enough
    Heart’s on E and we both know it
    You swear your name holds so much weight and all demand
    So what’s it like to live life as your own biggest fan
    But on and on it comes around
    Congrats on your new love you found
    In love with every single sound
    And word that’s coming out your mouth

      @thedutchlander572 6 років тому +6

      Yeah, I've been listening non-stop to the album (without lyrics mind you) and the reason I'm watching these YT videos again is so that I can read the lyrics through again. Paid in Exposure, Sleight of Hand and The Wrecked and the Worried are the ones I'm having trouble with understanding what Nate says sometimes.

    now that I have listened to the whole album I can say with confidence that not only do I like it but it is good on a very technical level as in how the music not only sounds good but is mixed very well so that nothing overpowers anything else especially your vocals which come across very clean and smooth great job man can't wait to play these songs on multiple devices

    This is like the cooler little brother of "Branded" from Sandcastle Kingdoms
    **Update: Thanks for the likes! Also, on an Instagram livestream, Nate said that Branded was the test to see if songs like Wrecked & Worried and Paid in Exposure would do well with his audiences. He wrote most of the songs on PIE and Branded at the same time which is why PIE is so Branded-themed!**

    • @Casioli-Ravioli

    • @Karmicdouche
      @Karmicdouche 6 років тому +10

      The wrecked and the worried is basically Branded 2. From what I’ve found it’s the same chords as branded but transposed to Bbm (I could be wrong on this, music theory is hard :/). It also repeats the “special kind of hell” line and during the chorus it has a similar scream to the one found in branded.

    • @redgeoblaze3752
      @redgeoblaze3752 6 років тому +4

      HavingFun ISKEY
      They're the most dynamic ones of sandcastle kingdoms, and Paid in exposure as a whole just bleeds dynamic. There's no standard metal rock sounding songs. the closest is Sleight of hand, and even then it's got a lot of uniqueness.
      I was also thinking that Call it off had to get it's more calm nature somewhere, so that's where Perfect by design came into account more than before.
      trying to pinpoint song anatomy is weird and leads way to discussion, but it's ultimately a useless endeavor.

    Nate you never cease to amaze me I love your sound so much. Your music is honestly the best out there and there needs to be more of it with all the repetitive crap out there. Artists can learn a lot from you and not only are you a great artist you are a great person. I was having a really hard time around the time you played your live show in Portland and your message about depression and not giving up really helped. That was exactly what I needed to hear then and it helped push me to fight harder to better my life. thank you so much I really do love the music.

    Call it off is basically a happy sounding version of this there’s so many subtle similarities aside from the lyrics

    Yeah, I agree with everyone else, this sounds a lot like panic at the disco. And that's a very good thing. Even better because you made it a lot more intense, and rock&roll-ey. It's perfect.

    I was watching a bunch of his covers, and the one for Zootopia was great! (Resident Disnerd, right here 😉) Then I got the thought- Nate doing his own version of Little Wonders from Meet the Robinsons would be AMAZING
