NOT THE AMERICAN AVERAGE // LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4!
(All the things that she said, was it all in my head?)
Come on, baby,
Keep it down.
Honey, hush your lips.
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don't even know your name.
Give me all you've got.
Make this night worth my time,
Make this worth my time (oh!)
What I would give to live this night again!
I knew when I first saw you,
You would fuck like a whore!
You'd fuck like a whore!
I can hear you scream for more! (yeah!)
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze.
My lips, your poison,
They bring you to your knees.
Ah, come on!
Girl, get down,
It's almost over!
Take it all the way!
Oh!
You stupid fucking whore!
And after all of all my dreaming being only you,
You're standing there, baby, oh,
The things that I could do!
Back to the wall with a drink in my hand!
Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride!
One step too late
And I never told you (never told you)
That I can't take
Another disappointment.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Ten inch!
With your back against the wall!
With your face buried in the pillow!
I see you cold!
I feel you heartless!
Bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!
Fucking bitch.

I remember singing along to this at 14, now 24 and it still hits the same
I'm 30 don't feel bad
Same here. Still got my Asking Alexandria hoodie as well. It fits like a glove still, I absolutely love it 😆
Saaaaammeeeee 😂
Gta v

Wtf I'm 28 I have kids , mom responsibilities and I still headbang to this
Elan Poniatovska dude I’m 28 no kids , no job, no girlfriend, no hope and a shit ton of responsibilities. Keep rockin
@@jasserarturogarciagarduza4083 god bless
Same. 33 and never stopped. My 10 year old boy makes me proud, enjoying most of the bands I show him. I've yet to show him this exact song, though. I'll hold off on that for a few more years, but if he finds it himself before then, oh well.
@@jasserarturogarciagarduza4083 woah dude, thanks for sharing that out (no sarcasm). Kind of lifts me up knowing I'm not the only 28 y.o. with feeling of being at the bottom. stay gold mate
I'm 21, mom responsibilities too and my son like this😂😂
Man, Ed Sheeran really stepped up his music game didn't he.
DEAD 😂😂
Lmfao 😭😂
😂😂😂😂😂
AHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAA WIN!
omfg XDD
23 year old me now realizes I shouldnt have been singing this at 11 lmaoo
Is this song 12 years old??? 😳😳 dang I was like 13-14 listening to it and now at 20 this is nostalgia 😂
Kkkkkkk omg yes kkkkkkkk
The emo life never leaves u...just gets a new style..and slowly creeps back into ur life...
PERIODT!!!! Omg
You can take the hardcore/deathcore music genre out of your library, but you can’t take the hardcore/deathcore nostalgic memories out of you…
Who's listening to this during 2020 lockdown 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Me it's bad ass song hear it where i was like 13 or 14
AA everyday keeps Covid away. Cheers 🤘🏻

1:17 R.I.P to that guy
Lmao
Lmaaaaooooo he got wiped off the face of the earth 😂
⏰
Might have been the cleanest bops in history
OH!!
2020. Reminds me to 16 years old. Doing midnight bike rides around town with this on my mp3 player. Just to get away from everyone. I could get lost in this song.
Now, 26 years old, mom of two and married.. hiding in my car listening to this. Lol
Girl, yes same! 😭😭 But I was 13 riding my longboard lol
😍😍😍😍
No reason to be ashamed
damn i can relate
farewell metalcore songs, now i just listen bassbosted
Damn I'm 19 now, so I was 14 when I first saw this. I feel old.
JaraManga same i just turned 20 time flies
JaraManga same haha cx
lmao i was 12 ffs
JaraManga shiit i was fucking 10😂😂
fuck yeah i was 13
2024 anyone?
Yassss.
😇😇
Here
My emo phase is back
Here
Danny says "you guys will be seen by thousands of people all over the world"
*video has 31 MILLION views*
I love this band.
no he didn't
+Juan Suarez Well if you want to get technical he said hundreds of thousands of people.
33 Million. ^^
+Iury Lago 34 😃😃
57
The Breakdown......EPIC!
Kid this is epic
real
Literally one of the best ever! It just makes you want to smash someone's face in for no reason. 😂🤣
always thats what makes them them
TEN INCH!!!
BEN'S SOLO GIVES ME CHILLS FRICK.
Harmeet Minhas he is a great player but that is not a solo haha you want amazing shredding solos you dont have to look any further than (the ripper) sir hammet of metallica
jesse waldron or Eddie Van Halen, or Ritchie Sambora, or Dave "Snake" Sabo, or Mick Mars, or CC DeVille, Or Slash... XD Kirk is badass though.
jesse waldron um no its Ben Bruce also syn from a7x and dragon force guitar solos in general don donegan of disturbed.... Try again the ripper is now obsolete
Kirk Hammett is still way better than Synyster Gates. Not saying Syns is bad (not bad at all) but there's a gap between comparisons there.
New metal sucks ass compared to Golden Age material. Between 1978 and 1992, Metal topped the Billboard Pop charts regularly. That's not saying Metal was pop music, Pop is short for Popular. Metal was just everywhere during that time, and it got better and better.
This was the first Asking Alexandria song i've ever heard and tell me why my 11 year old self thought that Ben's part was the most deepest, angelic thing to ever exist. Rn I'm 19 with full context and i think it still slaps
My ex boyfriend introduced me to Asking Alexandria... that's the only good thing that came out from our relationship.
i remember listening to em like 6-7 years ago lol.
@@marius40838 shit I remember when this released I was a sophomore. Super nostalgic for sure
and 69 of course
Lol i can relate 🤣🤣
lmaoooo
Ben's solo is all that matters in this world
There’s no solo
august baptiste um yeah there is
Is 0000000-111111
Is pretty complex
Garbage Gang I think he meant him singing before the breakdown at the end. There is def no guitar solo in this 😂
Ben solo
Its fucking kylo ren from star wars (his name is littarlily Ben solo)
Ben solo kill her dad Han solo
Bens hair like FLUUFF
BlackSirenScreams his hair is fucking legendary
Shelly Smith y
My hair is like that but i always got a hoodie on😂
It sucks that they will never perform this live ever again because people are so offended by it. I love this song! It sounds awesome! Despite the fact that it has a negative message.
Like Cardi B?
What negative message? That a majority of women are whores? Just like a majority of men are pigs? I didn’t need lyrics to tell me this, I learned by living. Truth hurts
Dafuq do you mean never again? That's like saying A7X not ever playing A Little Piece of Heaven again
@shrimplette who cares, it's a staple point of AA, and honestly it's a funny song
@@davebarylski2724 Where does she come into this lol…
So fucking happy danny is back... even if it just is for now
michael pizzo Well if everything goes well, which hopefully it
Will, they'll have him till the end of AA.
i mean if they dont they fucked D:
michael pizzo yes we are all happy that Danny Back is on this Band
They're writing/recording new music with Danny
Are they actually omg
ben is so amazing 💖
Why thank you :P
+Ben Stevens XD
+Ben Stevens lmao
Do you still watch this in *2019*
And still rockin & headbang *
n/*
ya aku juga
Absolutely
1! 2! 3! 4!
Yes ! again and again i love this music
Yesssss
This was one of the first heavy songs I ever listened to back in 2010 when I was 11. I will literally NEVER get tired of this bands first two albums.
*First 3 albums
Love all them minus the 4th though there’s a few on there I enjoy
They're so fucking good. Its a tragedy they wont do this stuff anymore
Their first 3 albums are good
can't believe how young danny is.
either way it's an amazing song! :D
i know right? ;D
he's still young
i know. that's what i'm saying.
***** i can tell them all apart in that video
The TikTok kids won't find us here. 🤜🏿🤛🏿
They will never find us
Yes they will they find everything
Yeah they will sorry my guy if they managed to find the jugglalos they'll find this too
LoL definitely a post opinion
I hope they dont
Still one of my favorites...I love how he says they're going to be seen by hundreds of thousands of people and this video has almost 60m views lol
Need more bands like this. Might start one.
Good luck 👍
We do actually
English teacher: when you study it's good for you to listen to calm, relaxing music
Me:
Hilariously true
If it calms you, then of course.
@Rivanchanel Kamu maksud Indonesia? 😅🇮🇩
Bro asking Alexandria, disturbed and system of a down were my study music 😂😂😂😂
You: 5:13
damn almost 6 years ago. I wanna go back to my high school years.
Radical Cat still a freshman in hs😂
I remember coming back from a school trip one day on the bus, I was about to fall asleep until this song started playing from my friends phone, I asked him what it was, he told me the name, we rocked out to it the whole bus journey, best bus journey in my entire life :D
Holy crap same I was on the bus to a trip and I had headphone and I did not have internet and this emo girl did so we were listing to her music and this came on
this is my fav song. i first heard it when it was playing from my big sisters laptop. she told me the band and the genre and thts what got me into this
+rwmovies I once ate 12 apples on a single bus ride, it was only about 1 hour long the journey :D
+Mc Thorpey I once farted on a bus, and it ranked for the whole ride to California... i lived in New York
I'm from the UK so idk how long that is xD
Coming back even in 2024. Can't get enough
this was my first Asking Alexandria song
Galaxy mine was final episode
Galaxy mine was the black
The Final Episode ( Lets change the channel )
@@yogiyahya8341 Starting on the final episode... you rebel
@@yogiyahya8341 My favorite show was when the opened with Closure.
2:05 Does any one notice that the guitar solo sounds like the solo from "Knives And Pens" by BVB??
it does
Oh Wow it does. XD
same with the final episode. they use absolutely the same notes thats why it sounds familiar :)
Oh yea
I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else noticed that too
Danny will always have some of the best screams/growls!!
Yes I 100% agree with that he is the best and i have listened to allot of heavy metal so far no one can beat him. Danny has hi and low and mid and sings to ya total bad ass
Alex Terrible, Ben Duerr, Dickie Allen, Alex Teyen, Dan Watson, Darius Tehrani (etc.) are all wayyy better lmao Worsnop can't even scream anymore
Maybe 5 years ago now it's 💩💩💩
Good luck finding that in all their newest songs
XiroHD 215 I promise you if actually looked at some other bands who do unclean vocals, this man would look like garbage
The memories are SO clear at all Warped Tours they visited.
Such a great era!
THE DRUM.
HIS VOICE.
THE GUITAR.
YES.
After COVID lockdowns are over and concerts are back” we can do whatever the fuck we want again”🤘
Piss off hater
they said they wont be playing this song anymore live because its offensive lol
@@silentsuffering6449 no. They didn’t. Stop spreading false info bud. They still play it, but not nearly as much because of all the new music they have released.
@@AvEnGeD7X238 lmfao go look up what they said bud * where u think i got it from
@@AvEnGeD7X238 goodtry though
I dunno. I just really like this song. (x
this kind of music is........................HORRIBLE!
I didn't ask
why would you watch it if it's so bad? O.o
BISH WHET?
Berry Kids ?
Eu ouvia essa música com 13 anos, agora estou aqui com 23 relembrando, época boa, nostalgia pura!
Somos 2 kkkk, conheci AA com uns 12, agora tô com 23 também kkkk
Somos 3
eu agr
Yo también 👌
Bem vindo ao clã meu caro confrade.
One of the calmest songs I've ever heard :)
Yeah, it's indeed very calm, nothing like Flattening of Emotions, Captive Bolt Pistol or something heavy :P
you should listen to suicide silence wake up SUPER calm
Henry Cruz I fall asleep to Suicide Silence. And sometimes wake up to them.
You should listen to Thrasher's Abbatoir, heavy as fuck.
Ben's solo is the most beautiful part of any song by them.
I'm a rap fan but goddamn you have to give credit where it's due and appreciate quality music production and talented vocals. The guitar, insane range of screaming from the vocalist and the drums sound amazing all together.
Ninedozit thank Joey Sturgis, without him there's no this
Nice to see people are willing to experiment with different genres. Good on you.
for me i don't see genres just music people like what they like and that's that
wow its rare u come across a jewel such as yourself
That’s so cool of you, so many people refuse to even try other genres. Rap is pretty awesome too!
I'm 28 now and this still gives goosebumps. I saw them live on Charlotte NC on Halloween forever ago lol
i used to be so into this song when i was 12 no I'm here 18 and I'm still obsessed
same
Song isnt 5 years old... makes no sense
+G̲ηоζτιу right lmao
+G̲ηоζτιу "Asking Alexandria live music video for "Not The American Average" from Epicenter 2011 in Irvine, CA at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater."
this song actually came out in 2009 so it's like 7 years old
This song and band holds such a connection to my youth.
Dear adults who grew up in the early 2000s im 14 years old desperately trying to kesp this kind of music alive. Ive been listening to asking since i was around 8 years old and they have been a huge oart of my life. I will not let it die 🤘🖤
Thats whats up🤘😈
you are a legend, im 31 and still not letting it die haha.
It’s not gonna die. I grew up in 94 this been going on for a long time when I was your age. I think the first Devil Wears Prada album was released when you were a baby lol
@@movelikeslugg yep sounds about right haha
EPIC MOSH PITS!
I’m 22 and remember hearing this when I was 12 haha… miss those days haha now I have bills
one of the best break down to a song i’ve ever heard after the second chorus wow.
to the hellfire
Who else is back here after watching the new violence music videos? Fuck I miss these first two album's style
Literally got 20 second in and this is where I went
Yes I miss old Asking Alexandria.
Kaleb Gayheart pussies .
Getting black out drunk in a dark room with this album CRANKED used to be my therapy lol. Then I stopped drinking and they stopped being good lol
Yeah, they suck something awful now.
Ben's voice is so beautiful!
Danny's voice too, no? 5:00 so beautiful
@@bigwheelrecording3588 afreed, I am only here because of this ua-cam.com/video/jCK-jm8Nwyc/v-deo.html
Best song in Metalcore History.
***** dont you dare ever say that. suicide isn't a joke, kid.
Shout the fuck up.
no
***** by then i would hope you would at least have experience in things and know what to keep quiet about. joking about someone ending their life isn't a joke. as a suicidal person, please shut the fuck up. everyone has their own opinion on all music and you should learn to accept that. you're making things worse.
***** 16 ... you're still a kid ...x)
I’m 26 now but this was my middle school anthem 😂😂😂❤❤
Ben's voice is so beautiful! He should totally sing more in songs
Autumn I wishhhh
Every AA album from Stand Up to Like A House on Fire has 2 songs where he sings
Yeah I agree! When I met him, he was a super sweet guy as well.
@@davidnissim589 whats the title then?
don't get any more British than ben saying "grasping" 😍
As a brit...Pretty sure you would change your mind if you saw Devvo

But they're English though..
They came from York, England.

Still love blasting this AA song today regularly
2:05 knives and pens
+Ezekiel M im not comparing shitty bands to them
+Ezekiel M they aren't you are
+Dob Dob knives and pens came first by a few months
unholy confessions
+Mixichuu same
Lol, someone please tell me what it is people specifically dislike about these guys? I mean it's not like they murdered a bunch of nuns once.
Seems for no other reason then pettiness. It's not bad music, the proof is in the popularity.
I personally don't like the screaming, that's not stopping me going to see them in 2 weeks. Also by saying the proof is in the popularity you're also saying thats jbs music can be good
Justin Bieber is good music, it's just not to me and a lot of people over a certain age, but it does follow and meet a code in music just like AA that makes it "good music" within their individual respected genre.
I guess the moral of this comment is just say a band or artist isn't for you, you don't need to rip it out of them using easy stereotypes.
if they murdered a bunch of nuns they would be bad-ass
maybe its because they look like a bunch of nuns
eddie dean Good try, but no.
First off: as a clinical psychology major, popularity does not equal substance. It usually points toward a social heuristic or over generalization in part of the Masses. Basically these guys have a really good PR department and thats why they are popular. They write meaningless songs directed at the most vulnerable audience, preteens and teens, so that they feel like they have someone to be different with, which is blatant manipulation, and nothing more than establishing a brand.
Now onto the music: when compared with bands of a similar sonic corner of the music world, Veil of Maya, Born of Osiris, and Animals as Leaders, even original scene hardcore bands like Greeley Estates, the song writing is just flaccid and the music is even more boring and dull. A veil of maya album is like a fast paced journey of rage and introspection, owning up to their name, Veil of Maya (i.e a hindu idea of the world as an illusion), born of osiris is like a technical journey through spiritual pathways, just listen to the discovery album and the interludes that link it together to understand this, and Animals as Leaders is a completely instrumental journey that feels like you are fucking astral projecting through time and space. Whilst when listening to asking alexandria you are just sitting there listening to a subpar angsty song that means nothing. Do you understand now, or must I go on? Because as a musician, I feel the need to make sure that you understand why these guys make me feel ashamed every time I hear them.
This is the metal version of WAP
Idk how to feel about this comparison but... it's quite accurate lmao
😂
😂😂
lmfao, true
No WAP is the generic pop version of this
met them when i was 12, still jamming to this gem
WELCOME BACK DANNY
Danny is the best
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG
Every music vid I go on your in the comment s lol
haha
and yo are both named brad.....
Illuminati CONFIRMED !!?!!!?!
Who doesn't lol
why do i get chills when this song plays? like damn, it’s been years and it still happens
Yeah it did
I searched for asking Alexandria songs on yt but I still ended up here, maybe this is my favorite song on asking alexandria. I remember I was 15 years old when I became an emo girl and I was only 17 years old when I first listened to it. now I'm 28 but I can still say that I'm still an emo...
We're all emo at heart
Bens voice x
danny's voice x
Both Epic
las verdaderos fans de Asking Alexandria escucharan las viejas canciones hasta sus ultimos dias :)
:v
tienen cancione MAS viejas que esta
jeejejee lo se por eso dije las mas viejas :3
A ia :v
O aceptaran su cambio :v
I didn't like asking Alexandria when I was younger, now I love it. So many good old bands becoming relevant to me only because I didn't listen to them back in the day
Its the same man, i didn't even liked rock or metal when i was 12-13 i thought that, it doesn't even that good, now im listening only rock and metal and i dont give a fuck what others say, because it gave me some kind of "freedom" or... anything
3:41 Ben's voice is so awesome!
OMG When Ben sings I tear up! One fn hell of a voice. To bad he gets such little mic time.
That’s because he chooses not to. I heard Danny say it in a livestream. Apparently Danny tries to encourage him to.
Ah majestic, such beautiful lyrics
To scream like Danny is legit a life goal!
Get your ass down here and you will
Damn true! Still learning here since 2009
Indonesia lur
@@raditr1017 :v
The highs are hard,but lows are actually easy. His screaming on Reckless and Relentless was really hard, tho
Meu emo interior nunca morrerá.
🦋 Mãe, não era só uma fase! 🦋
Ksksksks o meu também ksksksksk Aryelson
Comento isso até hoje em dia; essa época era boa e as músicas também! Tenho 24 anos e essas coisas ficam enraizadas, não adianta.
Saudade desse Asking até o reckless e relentless…
Curtia a música, mas não era emo
Por mais que eu andes nos vales do sertanejo minhas recaídas de emo sempre voltam! Kkkkkkkk
ne kkkkkk
IM SO HAPPY HE BACK THOO
Andy Brewster same, I didn't like Denis tbfh
Ah yes, when Danny was British and not a Southerner from the US. 😂
He became a cowboy
@@nonooohlii yee🤠haw
I don't even want to talk about the monstrosity that was that country album he put out.
You fucked him up, worse than the Barber who gave him that haircut in this music video
Idk i linda liked little did i know thats about it tho
People posting about how they hate AA yet they come onto the this video and made a comment XD Who cares if you think AA are shit, accept the fact people like them? Why can't we all just get along...
Ugh, they have come so far!
2:05 - 2:25 that riff remember me
Knives and pen - BVB
Unholy confession- AX7
Extremely sad that they left the metal core genre. Such an absolute banger. A masterpiece of you will. So sad I will never hear this live.
“You guys are going to be seen by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world”
Little did he know he’d get MILLIONS of views. Miss these days
They give a warning at the beginning. Very mindful, very demure.
Just turned 25. I was obsessed with AA in high school. This was one of my favorite songs in those days. Haven't heard it in ages. Idk what made me want to listen to this. Nostalgia I suppose lol
March 2019 still banging my head! Who with me?
Prob still be moshing to this in 2025
Yuppp
8 years later and now my 1 year old is obsessed with the song too . Damn times flies
Ive nvr heard of these guys before and one night i went to a place to drink called Ground Zero in spartanburg s.c. they were playing and how the crownd knew when to jump and wave and whatever blew my mind. Booze and pot helped my mood towards the band but been a fan ever since.
Now that Danny is back I want Reckless & Relentless II!
never gonna happen
I think Danny doesn't want to scream like this anymore? It's killing the chords. Happened to M. shadows.
Ben voice is incredible....
Who else is still head banging in 2020🤘🏻
My parents would chill and let me blast this shit and more like it in the car. Now I'm down a parent thanks to cancer and still listening to this shit.
I think I broke the replay button.
And the like button.
Omf, why are they so perfect ?!
*My ears are bleeding.* 3
Because Danny Worsnop is a beast
mario fatovic I prefer Corey Taylor
welcome back danny!!!
Christian Yerad y
Almost ten years I wanna cry so bad :’)
Prime asking alexandria ❤
Danny Worsnop grew up in Gilberdyke, a village 6 miles away from me, I now go to the same high school he went to.
the nostalgia oh my god
it's 2020 and i almost had a grandchild, but i'm still headbang for this! \m/
Am the only one in the new generation that listens to this?
nah
You’re not alone
Escuchaba esta musica a los 13 años de edad, ahora estoy en la universidad y aun sigo con estas canciones .
I can't believe i still know every lyric to this song
