Lyrics: We all fall apart Buried deep behind the smile We all have scars There is truth in our lies 'Cause the shadow's never Hiding who we are We're stuck in a game Of playing pretend We're left in the ashes Again and again After all the smoke and mirrors We are only saint and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven Turn it into Armageddon Waiting for Afterglow Wide awake But caught in the blind It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes We're stuck in a game Of playing pretend We're left in the ashes Again and again After all the smoke and mirrors We are only saint and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven Turn it into Armageddon Waiting for Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow Are we hoping for a miracle Starting fires 'til we're burning out Are we headed for the free fall Are we hoping for a miracle Starting fires 'til we're burning out Are we headed for the free fall After all the smoke and mirrors We are only saint and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven Turn it into Armageddon Waiting for Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow Waiting for Afterglow
Agreed 100% and they are amazing live too I've seen them everytime they have toured the UK and they always wait to see everyone who wants to after aswell
"Deep behind the smile we all have scars" I don't know who needs to hear this, but you are wonderful, beautiful and darn right crazy, stay strong, you've got this.
Ghost Code is easily one of the best albums I've ever heard, such fantastic bangers one after another Can't wait to see you guys at Melodifestivalen again, hopefully winning next time
The fact that Marcus and Martinus were even allowed to participate annoys me. They’re norwegian, they should’ve participated in norway imo. In my eyes Smash into pieces should’ve won both this year and last year
This band is on my list of “Flawless Music Creators”. Nearly every single one of this band’s songs is always a masterpiece. They definitely are in my top five favourites bands, along with Starset
The world is millions of years old and I was lucky to exist in these times to be able to appreciate the music of these guys. Thank you Smash Into Pieces, I have no words to describe what you mean to me and to thousands of people in the world, I had never been moved by a song until I met you during the difficult time of 2020 and you gave me the encouragement I needed. necessary, it is a very pleasant feeling, thank you 🙂 💕
Phew. This is beautiful. The instrumentals are really nice in this song, I LOVE the piano synergized with the heavier rock riffs. Going from piano to heavy and ending it with the piano again is so well done. Amazing lyrics, amazing singing, amazing video.
Das Lied ist wunderschön, wir sind hin und weg ❣️ Diese unheimlich tolle kräftige Stimme von Chris, dann wieder so sanft, diese vielen Passagen... das Klavier. Und Apoc 😎👍🏻 Man bekommt einfach nur Gänsehaut, es geht so tief rein. Und das Video wahnsinnig toll 👍🏻😎😎😍❣️
The music video blew me away!!! Afterglow is already one of my favourite SIP songs! The vid brings it to next level of friggin awesome!!! The lyrics just hit different! Listened to Ghost Code while at the gym. Such an amazing album. Can't wait to see these guys live again!!!
Ghostis looks like he picked up a new look from the TRON universe. Expansion of the Arcadia lore is why I love your work so much, seems a more epic battle is yet to be taken between APOC and Ghostis.
Wow, this clip is amazing! I love the song, the piano sound, and the technical part -- those transitions when the virtual world starts glitching are awesome! And how much I love the image of The Apocalypse DJ, how gently he touches the keys and then bangs the drums energetically!
I hope to be able to animate for you guys some day! But until then I will enjoy the magic and joy you give and create thank you for another year of SMASH!!🤩
It’s insane how this band simply NEVER misses. There are SO FEW bands out there that can make so many songs that are all top tier. We are truly blessed with this band.
Thanks so much for this, what a powerful video and music - all in one! Again, thanks so much to the band and the animator. After all, you all topped it off with an afterglow!
Oh wow youtube did it again. I really really like that melody in harsh singing parts and how fluidly the cleans come in between them. You might be one of those bands for me, thank you!
I've been following you guys on here for around 3, maybe 4 years now. And everyone knows that every band releases a song now and again that doesn't quite "click" right with the fans. You've made banger after banger regardless of style you choose, whether it's full on energy/action or a more melancholic track like this one. Every. Single. One. A slayer! I can't put into words how happy it makes me that I stumbled over your music and I hope and wish you all only the best!
The vocals, the guitars, the drums, the sheer epicness of this song and its music video as well as the others are just unbelievable, what a great tune! ❤️🔥🤘 Thank you for these incredible masterpieces!
Talk about leaving them wanting more. I want more of the continuation of the Arcadia story. This is one of the reasons I love your music. The way your craft your videos perfectly to each song is genius. Can't wait for the next video to come out. Love the new album.
I had a field day pausing for some of the stills near the end. This video is so neat and I think I'll keep picking up more details on multiple rewatches! Are we seeing Arcadia and Earth merging perhaps?! IDK. I need to think about this a little more. The new red Ghostis-esque character turned on a tower very similar to in Arcadia. Would explain why APOC felt the same after leaving Arcadia and going to Earth... perhaps rather than going to a new dimension, he was jumping to a different time in the same one? Explain the shifting/glitches back and forth between the group and alternate appearances... maybe it isn't a game but everything fusing together. The group has fought this same battle so many times in forms of different people via reincarnation type stuff? SIP, you always give me lots to lore craft with in these videos! I hope you do someday explain it all!
I was thinking the same thing!! I love the story being created and the wonder with each new video. The extra at the end definitely got me excited for what may be next 👀. I mean, their Big Bang might be an allude to the scientific theory?? I feel I need to watch the story from the beginning every time there's new info 😅
I've been listening to Smash Into Pieces for 2 years, and this song is without a doubt compositional maturity. In my opinion, the best of "Ghost Code". Perfect combination of rhythms and superb lyrics. This is BRUTAL 🔥🔥🔥
This was such a great MV for an even greater song. It’s truly one of the best tracks you’ve put out yet. I can’t wait to hear this live when I see you guys in Manchester in December. I already have chills! 💜
My favourite band so far. There isn't a single song that I don't like. They deserve much more popularity than they have. I played their songs to all my friends 💜 Keep going, guys. You're amazing!
You are my new favorite band, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU IN COLOMBIA. The lyrics of the songs are so good, this new album was AWESOME my favorite song is definitely Trigger
Smash into pieces you are still the number one masterpiece I love the design what you make ghost now With the red That is a good designCause the red allowed times make enemies as the evil guys Cause the red allowed times make enemies as the evil guys So I'm gonna give you 300% Good on this song you deserve it
Had a busy morning with volunteering at a cat shelter and running errands. I can finally watch this! Edit: I am loving Ghostis’s new look so much! He looks so badass! He also gives me Tron vibes, which is a compliment. So freaking cool!
We all fall apart Buried deep behind the smile We all have scars There is truth in our lies 'Cause the shadow's never Hiding who we are We're stuck in a game Of playing pretend We're left in the ashes Again and again After all the smoke and mirrors We are only saint and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven Turn it into Armageddon Waiting for Afterglow Wide awake But caught in the blind It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes We're stuck in a game Of playing pretend We're left in the ashes Again and again After all the smoke and mirrors We are only saint and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven Turn it into Armageddon Waiting for Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow Are we hoping for a miracle Starting fires 'til we're burning out Are we headed for the free fall Are we hoping for a miracle Starting fires 'til we're burning out Are we headed for the free fall After all the smoke and mirrors We are only saint and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven Turn it into Armageddon Waiting for Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow Waiting for Afterglow
Easily one of the best visuals in any of your videos yet. The constant flashing apocalyptic imagery- it looks like AI if I'm not mistaken, which fits the theme even more- and APOC playing the drums and piano so well... wonderful. Keep up the excellent work!
Their music videos and sound quality has become world class level The guys are putting so much effort in it and making all of us fans proud Can't wait to hear all of your future projects and music and of course see you live for the first time! Much love from a ,now a long time, Serbian fan
Im 56 mom of two who went to many Linkin Park & alike concerts. I just made a whole playlist of you guys. LOVE THIS. AND PRAY YOU COME TO BOSTON OR MANSFIELD MASSACHUSETTES ❤️💯
One of your best ones yet. That slow piano in the beginning, so beautiful. The cinematic music video, as Chris joins in with his neutral voice... a sad tune begins to form. "We all fall apart. Buried deep behind the smile, we all have scars" 💔 Drums kick in and adds a feeling of anticipation. "After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners. Waiting fo-o-o-or Afterglo-o-o-o-ow" in a delicate voice. Then the whole band joins and it's 100% perfection 🙏❤ "Did we take a perfect Heaven, turn it into Armageddon?" Powerful.
I don't really know, in my opinion, this is a continuation from Heroes Are Calling because at the end of Afterglow, we see this surveillance thing which APOC destroyed at the end of Heroes Are Calling. 😊
@@Manuel_2607 But at the beginning of the clip (after APOC´s piano) there´s "something" walking from a hole. And that was that girl from the end of Trigger....I guess 😅
@@KarelStastny-lh4ge The girl that fell from the tower in Trigger must indeed be Ghostis in Afterglow here, but still, the surveillance robot which was present in Heroes Are Calling is destroyed now, so it‘s really hard to determine when Afterglow is playing 😅
√√Lyrics√√ We all fall apart Buried deep behind the smile, we all have scars There is truth in our lies 'Cause the shadow's never hidin' who we are We're stuck in a game of playing pretend We're left in the ashes again and again After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners Waiting for afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven, turn it into Armageddon? Waiting for afterglow Wide awake, but caught in the blind It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes We're stuck in a game of playing pretend We're left in the ashes again and again After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners Waiting for afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven, turn it into Armageddon? Waiting for afterglow In the afterglow In the afterglow Are we hopin' for a miracle? Starting fires 'til we're burnin' out Are we headed for the free fall? Are we hopin' for a miracle? Starting fires 'til we're burnin' out Are we headed for the free fall? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners Waiting for afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven, turn it into Armageddon? Waiting for afterglow In the afterglow In the afterglow In the afterglow
I've been listening to these guys for 11 years now. I'm glad that their works are being played on the radio more and more often. And in general, it's very nice to watch the development of Smash Into Pieces. Further success to you, guys!🤟
LYRICS (Waiting for Afterglow) We all fall apart Buried deep behind the smile we all have scars There is truth in our lies Cause the shadows never hiding who we are We’re stuck in a game Of playing pretend We’re left in the ashes Again and again After all the smoke and mirrors We are all the saints and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven? Turn it into Armageddon? Waiting for Afterglow Wide awake we’re caught in the blind It’s like we don’t see what’s right in front of our eyes We’re stuck in a game Of playing pretend We’re left in the ashes Again and again After all the smoke and mirrors We are all the saints and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven? Turn it into Armageddon? Waiting for Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow (Are we hoping for a miracle?) (Starting fires til we’re burning out) (Are we heading for the free fall?) Are we hoping for a miracle? Starting fires til we’re burning out Are we heading for the free fall? After all the smoke and mirrors We are all the saints and sinners Waiting for Afterglow Did we take a perfect heaven? Turn it into Armageddon? Waiting for Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow In the Afterglow (Waiting for Afterglow)
@@ChaosOnyxso apparently after I looked though the comments for a few others typing the lyrics, it is apparently “caught in the blind” and not “cutting the pine”
Перевод текста песни: Мы все разваливаемся на части Спрятанный глубоко за улыбкой У всех нас есть шрамы В нашей лжи есть доля правды Потому что тень никогда не Скрываем, кто мы такие Мы застряли в игре О том, как притворяться Мы остались в пепле. Снова и снова После всего этого тумана и зеркал Мы всего лишь святые и грешники В ожидании Послесвечения Неужели мы попали в идеальный рай? Превратив его в Армагеддон В ожидании Послесвечения Проснуться Но застигнутый врасплох Мы как будто не видим того, что у нас прямо перед глазами Мы погрязли в игре В притворстве Мы остаемся в руинах Снова и снова После всего этого тумана и зеркал Мы всего лишь святые и грешники В ожидании Послесвечения Попали ли мы в идеальный рай Превратили ли его в Армагеддон В ожидании Послесвечения В Послесвечении В Послесвечении Надеемся ли мы на чудо Разжигаем костры, пока не сгорим дотла Мы движемся к свободному падению Надеемся ли мы на чудо Разжигаем костры, пока не сгорим дотла Мы движемся к свободному падению После всего этого дыма и зеркал Мы всего лишь святые и грешники Ждем Послесвечения Были ли у нас идеальные небеса? Превратили ли мы их в Армагеддон? В ожидании Послесвечения? В Послесвечении В послесвечении В послесвечении В ожидании послесвечения
The song is really good but the use of AI generated images in the Mv is disappointing. The Mv was great without these few scenes and it honestly looks worse with them and leaves a bad taste after watching it. Artists, no matter if it's drawing, music creation or any other Form should not support AI that gets used to effectively replace artists. Also yes this is happening in music too. You can replicate voices and just create your own song that sound like "insert artist xy". And at first that may sound cool but if you think about it for more than a second that's sad and scary
Is it true that this video's thumbnail and in the visuals uses AI? Please don't let it be true. I don't think anyone who uses generative AI is bad, I just wish for people to be careful with it when it comes to art. There are multiple sources as to why using AI to make "illustrations" is a threat to artists all around the earth. You guys write awesome music and are cool, I just hope this isn't AI "art" or won't be used again, not until there's better regulations to make sure artists aren't having their art being used to train AI without their consent.
Hey guys. There is a difference when the artists is the one using the AI. And for these shots, it was the plan all along to achieve this AI look, especially when the world actually refers to the threat of AI. But to achieve these look, you actually need the source images and the skills to guide AI in the right direction. And I can assure you that the same artist who did all the other full 3D rendered shots, also did the AI shots. It is all about how we are using the tools. For this production it made perfect sense to train AI for these specific images.
@@DavidSohr that doesnt change the fact that Ais get trained by stealing artists work. this has done a lot of damage to the artist community. And I am pretty sure there was a better way to make a "Ai is dangerous and ruins art" by using Ai in Art
@@cyberink7093 Probably. But it wont change the fact that it would cost A LOT of money. Pandoras box is open, and when artists control it, it is at least something I guess. It is impossible to change the progress that is now going on in the industry. Believe me, im an artist myself so I totally get your point also. Not sure what we can do about it though
@@DavidSohr idk in my opinion if they have the money to make such a musicvideo they have the money to comission like 3 artworks, since the scenes were basically just 3 stillframes. And I dont think its a pandoras boxs that cant be closed, since there are a lot of lawsuits against Ai companies. And it certainly would be helpful if artists would use Ai and encourage others. But musicians that use Ai will sooner or later lern, that their craft is not save from Ai either and that they can be replaced on the long run

New album?? 😮

Absolutely love this song and the new album is absolutely brilliant. Big shout out from swansea in wales.
There's something haughtingly beautiful about APOC at the piano
Yes! He is so freaking talented....a pure musician...a beautiful artist ❤
What?
And the drums 😩👌🏻❤️ perfection
lol yeah
Lyrics:
We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile
We all have scars
There is truth in our lies
'Cause the shadow's never
Hiding who we are
We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow
Wide awake
But caught in the blind
It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes
We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall
Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
Waiting for Afterglow

You were my only friend 😞
First time hearing them, and I like that the words are with the song. Not bad bang. Like what I am hearing. Going to look for more.
I don't understand how this band isn't world famous. They have yet to have even one bad song. All are complete bangers!
Agreed 100% and they are amazing live too I've seen them everytime they have toured the UK and they always wait to see everyone who wants to after aswell
they are amazing live
For real 😭🖤
Listening here in Asia
Fr
Smash into Pieces deserves more popularity on youtube than they currently have. Every song is a complete banger.
Agreed 👍 they even put crazy effort into their videos
Share it bro. We all do. Let's help them grow
100%!
Yesss ❤ So good! 🔥🤘🏻
@@MikeKollin I already do and they're getting a lot of recognition ❤
Def want a full movie of Arcadia's world.
The music is so cool and the clip so well done. Somebody please do a movie of their story.
I fully agree with this
@@RaoaRahaga yep yup
Same, just made a comment similer to this too. how coincedental is that?!
Bro predicted it
🔥LONG LIVE SMASH INTO PIECES 🔥

You think you have a favorite song, and suddenly this is released. Wow, truly in love with this song. Thank you
Thanks God for introducing Adam, Benjamin, Per and Apoc to each other 💪🏼
Chris but alr
@@slashistrash.I know his name is Chris but don't know why I wrote his surname 😂 maybe I was too excited ahahaha
@@tgrally1240 oh alright
I totally agree!!!
Thanks determinism
Yet ANOTHER banger from one of the best and most CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED bands on the planet!
"Deep behind the smile we all have scars" I don't know who needs to hear this, but you are wonderful, beautiful and darn right crazy, stay strong, you've got this.
i love his voice and these drums

@@Moxito4ka Yeah, I love Starset
The music they make absolutely slaps, especially with songs like Echo and Waiting On The Sky To Change

Expansion of the Arcadia lore is why I love your work so much, seems a more epic battle is yet to be taken between APOC and Ghostis.
Might be late to the game, but I discovered this band and man... that transition at 0:47... gives me goosebumps everytimes! 🎧❤🎧 this song in insane!

This was such a great MV for an even greater song. It’s truly one of the best tracks you’ve put out yet. I can’t wait to hear this live when I see you guys in Manchester in December. I already have chills! 💜
What a masterpiece. The whole Album is a 10/10. so much starset and Linkin Park Vibes. Thank you SIP ❤️🤘
Apoc’s Piano and Chris Adams Voice and Passion!! FIRE🎉
I love all the installments of this saga. The intro with the keyboard is amazing.

Somehow this got recommended, glad I clicked. Holy cow, this was an absolute banger. I’ll have to listen to more of this band.
You are my new favorite band, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU IN COLOMBIA. The lyrics of the songs are so good, this new album was AWESOME my favorite song is definitely Trigger
Love the reference to APOC's laser abilities midway through. You guys are one of the best cyberpunk-style bands around.
Sad this band is so underrated :(
Excellent music and vocals, my favorite band currently 🤘🔥
This band is an absolute miracle! What is perfection, if it isn't?

Вы как всегда на высоте 💜💥

Smash never fails to deliver amazing music videos!

Mamma mia che spettacolo😍 meriterebbero più spazio nelle radio😍😎 questa canzone è bellissima😍
Bro 100 points from Portugal 🤘

Edit: I am loving Ghostis’s new look so much! He looks so badass! He also gives me Tron vibes, which is a compliment. So freaking cool!
Let me be your superhero... ❤ This band is my superhero ✨🙌🥺❤️🩹
We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile
We all have scars
There is truth in our lies
'Cause the shadow's never
Hiding who we are
We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow
Wide awake
But caught in the blind
It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes
We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall
Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
Waiting for Afterglow
But am I the only one who hears Chester's voice? This vocalist is wonderfully talented
Easily one of the best visuals in any of your videos yet. The constant flashing apocalyptic imagery- it looks like AI if I'm not mistaken, which fits the theme even more- and APOC playing the drums and piano so well... wonderful. Keep up the excellent work!
Ohh!! it's an amazing.
Goosebump!! Beautiful and powerful voice and sound❤️Cool MV.『Ghost Code』is awesome Album too!
I just discovered this band and I'm completely in love. These guys are incredible!!!! LOTS OF LOVE FROM BRAZIL!
❤🇧🇷
This deeply touches my heart……. thank you guys❤
Their music videos and sound quality has become world class level
The guys are putting so much effort in it and making all of us fans proud
Can't wait to hear all of your future projects and music and of course see you live for the first time!
Much love from a ,now a long time, Serbian fan
Yeaahhhh Ultraaaaa super saiyan awesome SMASH INTO PIECES
Im 56 mom of two who went to many Linkin Park & alike concerts. I just made a whole playlist of you guys. LOVE THIS. AND PRAY YOU COME TO BOSTON OR MANSFIELD MASSACHUSETTES ❤️💯
This Band is Great.
I love this band, every single song they have released has been absolutely incredible!
I just want Apoc to be my husband 😭❤
I think a lot of us do. Lol
@@adventurekitty101 he is mine. don't pretend.
@@xskr3pka No, he’s mine!
drums all day
Who's Apoc?? The guy in the hood with the lights?
Im so thankful for your music, it means a lot to me and I hope that you will live on to be the most amazing legendary band to ever exist. :) 💚💚💚
Give us more APOC on piano. Pretty please.
0:35 🔥🔥🔥I've been listening to this song on loop! The drums are insane 🎵👀😱🔥👍
Best band of that music type i've ever heard
I correct, this IS the best Band i've EVER Heard 👍👌❤
One of your best ones yet.
That slow piano in the beginning, so beautiful.
The cinematic music video, as Chris joins in with his neutral voice... a sad tune begins to form.
"We all fall apart. Buried deep behind the smile, we all have scars" 💔
Drums kick in and adds a feeling of anticipation.
"After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners.
Waiting fo-o-o-or Afterglo-o-o-o-ow" in a delicate voice.
Then the whole band joins and it's 100% perfection 🙏❤
"Did we take a perfect Heaven, turn it into Armageddon?" Powerful.
Awesome album, awesome smashes! 🎉❤
you guys are legends. Afterglow💯 APOC you rock on this🤘❤
Didn't realize its continues after Trigger.....Its awesome ❤❤
I wonder what the ending scene leads to.
I don't really know, in my opinion, this is a continuation from Heroes Are Calling because at the end of Afterglow, we see this surveillance thing which APOC destroyed at the end of Heroes Are Calling. 😊
@@Manuel_2607 But at the beginning of the clip (after APOC´s piano) there´s "something" walking from a hole. And that was that girl from the end of Trigger....I guess 😅
@@KarelStastny-lh4ge The girl that fell from the tower in Trigger must indeed be Ghostis in Afterglow here, but still, the surveillance robot which was present in Heroes Are Calling is destroyed now, so it‘s really hard to determine when Afterglow is playing 😅
🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝From Brazil
Perfect melody !! Melodia perfecta !! Superbe rhythm !! Melodia perfeita !!
Love this voice so much!!! 🔥❤🫵

We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile, we all have scars
There is truth in our lies
'Cause the shadow's never hidin' who we are
We're stuck in a game of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven, turn it into Armageddon?
Waiting for afterglow
Wide awake, but caught in the blind
It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes
We're stuck in a game of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven, turn it into Armageddon?
Waiting for afterglow
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
Are we hopin' for a miracle?
Starting fires 'til we're burnin' out
Are we headed for the free fall?
Are we hopin' for a miracle?
Starting fires 'til we're burnin' out
Are we headed for the free fall? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
After all the smoke and mirrors, we are only saints and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven, turn it into Armageddon?
Waiting for afterglow
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
Love this song
Im in love guys 🥲💔every song is just a perfection how can a band be this perfect?
Such a banger your music is the only one i wanna hear while i game
I've been listening to these guys for 11 years now. I'm glad that their works are being played on the radio more and more often.
And in general, it's very nice to watch the development of Smash Into Pieces.
Further success to you, guys!🤟
Просто бомба
Just Amazing ❤
Thank you!🙏🏼
LYRICS
(Waiting for Afterglow)
We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile we all have scars
There is truth in our lies
Cause the shadows never hiding who we are
We’re stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We’re left in the ashes
Again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are all the saints and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven?
Turn it into Armageddon?
Waiting for Afterglow
Wide awake we’re caught in the blind
It’s like we don’t see what’s right in front of our eyes
We’re stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We’re left in the ashes
Again and again
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are all the saints and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven?
Turn it into Armageddon?
Waiting for Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
(Are we hoping for a miracle?)
(Starting fires til we’re burning out)
(Are we heading for the free fall?)
Are we hoping for a miracle?
Starting fires til we’re burning out
Are we heading for the free fall?
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are all the saints and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven?
Turn it into Armageddon?
Waiting for Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow

I think everything is correct except for "smoking mirrors" being "smoke and mirrors", and "same sincereness" being "saints and sinners"
@@ChaosOnyxI had a feeling, I couldn’t really tell what he was saying otherwise, so thanks
@@robertcurley8406 np, also I know for a fact that line about the pine cannot be right, but I have no idea what hes even saying in that part so, eh
@@ChaosOnyxso apparently after I looked though the comments for a few others typing the lyrics, it is apparently “caught in the blind” and not “cutting the pine”
@@robertcurley8406 ah, now that makes more sense
@SMASH INTO PIECES UR MY FAVORITE OMG
I'm leaving this comment here, so every time someone interacts with it, I can listen to this masterpiece again
Перевод текста песни:
Мы все разваливаемся на части
Спрятанный глубоко за улыбкой
У всех нас есть шрамы
В нашей лжи есть доля правды
Потому что тень никогда не
Скрываем, кто мы такие
Мы застряли в игре
О том, как притворяться
Мы остались в пепле.
Снова и снова
После всего этого тумана и зеркал
Мы всего лишь святые и грешники
В ожидании Послесвечения
Неужели мы попали в идеальный рай?
Превратив его в Армагеддон
В ожидании Послесвечения
Проснуться
Но застигнутый врасплох
Мы как будто не видим того, что у нас прямо перед глазами
Мы погрязли в игре
В притворстве
Мы остаемся в руинах
Снова и снова
После всего этого тумана и зеркал
Мы всего лишь святые и грешники
В ожидании Послесвечения
Попали ли мы в идеальный рай
Превратили ли его в Армагеддон
В ожидании Послесвечения
В Послесвечении
В Послесвечении
Надеемся ли мы на чудо
Разжигаем костры, пока не сгорим дотла
Мы движемся к свободному падению
Надеемся ли мы на чудо
Разжигаем костры, пока не сгорим дотла
Мы движемся к свободному падению
После всего этого дыма и зеркал
Мы всего лишь святые и грешники
Ждем Послесвечения
Были ли у нас идеальные небеса?
Превратили ли мы их в Армагеддон?
В ожидании Послесвечения?
В Послесвечении
В послесвечении
В послесвечении
В ожидании послесвечения
This style reminds me Linkin Park, maybe I'm wrong 😢😮
Oh. My. This song is amazing!
The song is really good but the use of AI generated images in the Mv is disappointing. The Mv was great without these few scenes and it honestly looks worse with them and leaves a bad taste after watching it.
Artists, no matter if it's drawing, music creation or any other Form should not support AI that gets used to effectively replace artists.
Also yes this is happening in music too. You can replicate voices and just create your own song that sound like "insert artist xy". And at first that may sound cool but if you think about it for more than a second that's sad and scary
Absolutely freaking amazing song 🔥❤️. These guys don't MISS
Is it true that this video's thumbnail and in the visuals uses AI? Please don't let it be true. I don't think anyone who uses generative AI is bad, I just wish for people to be careful with it when it comes to art. There are multiple sources as to why using AI to make "illustrations" is a threat to artists all around the earth. You guys write awesome music and are cool, I just hope this isn't AI "art" or won't be used again, not until there's better regulations to make sure artists aren't having their art being used to train AI without their consent.
Yeah the thumbnail and a few scenes in the Mv too. The ones with the flickery "animations"
Hey guys. There is a difference when the artists is the one using the AI. And for these shots, it was the plan all along to achieve this AI look, especially when the world actually refers to the threat of AI. But to achieve these look, you actually need the source images and the skills to guide AI in the right direction. And I can assure you that the same artist who did all the other full 3D rendered shots, also did the AI shots. It is all about how we are using the tools. For this production it made perfect sense to train AI for these specific images.
@@DavidSohr that doesnt change the fact that Ais get trained by stealing artists work. this has done a lot of damage to the artist community. And I am pretty sure there was a better way to make a "Ai is dangerous and ruins art" by using Ai in Art
@@cyberink7093 Probably. But it wont change the fact that it would cost A LOT of money. Pandoras box is open, and when artists control it, it is at least something I guess. It is impossible to change the progress that is now going on in the industry. Believe me, im an artist myself so I totally get your point also. Not sure what we can do about it though
@@DavidSohr idk in my opinion if they have the money to make such a musicvideo they have the money to comission like 3 artworks, since the scenes were basically just 3 stillframes. And I dont think its a pandoras boxs that cant be closed, since there are a lot of lawsuits against Ai companies. And it certainly would be helpful if artists would use Ai and encourage others. But musicians that use Ai will sooner or later lern, that their craft is not save from Ai either and that they can be replaced on the long run

[Intro: Chris Adam]
(Waiting for afterglow)
[Verse 1: Chris Adam]
We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile
We all have scars
There is truth in our lies
Cause the shadow's never hiding who we are
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Adam]
We're stuck in a game
And playing pretend
We left in the ashes again and again
[Chorus: Chris Adam]
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saints and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect Heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for afterglow
[Verse 2: Chris Adam]
Wide awakе, we're calling the blind
It's likе we don't see what's right in front of our eyes
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Adam]
We're stuck in a game
And playing pretend
We're left in the ashes again and again
[Chorus: Chris Adam]
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saints and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect Heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for afterglow
[Post-Chorus: Chris Adam]
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
[Bridge: Chris Adam, Per Bergquist, Both]
Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we burning out
Are we headed for a free fall
Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we burning out
Are we headed for a free fall
(Woah-oh-ooh)
[Chorus: Chris Adam]
After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saints and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect Heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for afterglow
[Post-Chorus: Chris Adam]
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
[Outro: Chris Adam]
