    LYRICS:
    Am I telling myself the truth?
    I’m used to pretending to be strong and clueless
    Am I doing this right by you?
    I seem to be coming off as wrong and ruthless
    Am I telling myself the truth about what I don’t know?
    It makes me lose my self-control
    I’m staring through the eyes of someone else
    So I’ll keep on smiling on the surface
    Hiding my nerves behind the curtain
    I’m caught up in an empty room
    Filled with second thoughts and gloom
    Am I changing my mind again?
    All this indecision makes me shift my focus
    Is the tension my only friend?
    Anxiety holds my hand when life gets hopeless
    Am I telling myself the truth about my self-esteem and how others place their worth in me?
    I’m staring through the eyes of someone else
    Am I telling myself the truth?

      It’s just too bad that out of three very unique bands, Boston Manor was the only one to put out something not completely giving into pop radio pressure

      Hadras Dante lolwat? Are you seriously saying that these bands sold out? You act as if they pulled a 30 Seconds To Mars and stopped playing their instruments and autotuned the hell out of the vocals.

    I LOVE THIS??
    I’m not exactly familiar with Real Friends but I’ve listened to both this and From The Outside and honestly WHY NEVER HAVE I EVER CHECKED THEM OUT BEFORE?

    • @iluvpost-hardcore4204
      @iluvpost-hardcore4204 Před 6 lety +5

      Nearell you should listen to their two ep's everyone that dragged you here and put yourself back to together and their debut album maybe this place is just the same and where just changing.

    • @nearell4978
      @nearell4978 Před 6 lety +2

      Their previous music sounds very different from these past few tracks
      But it's still good and worth checking out

  • @jacoba2901
    @jacoba2901 Před 5 lety +1

    it's amazing how music can reach you even at your darkest and let you know you're not alone and those notes and words turn into the brightest stars in your night sky-they show hope breaking through even the most desolate emptiness inside

    • @1thenatural1
      @1thenatural1 Před 6 lety

      It sounds like some shitty pop alt-rock album that gets put out today. Their older stuff was better and didn't all sound the same. This sounds different because it's so shitty compared to their old stuff.

    It's weird that his voice is taking me back to the Direction album by The Starting Line. He's a raspier Kenny Vasoli.
    Also, the guitars are so simple, but so good. Real Friends are killin' ittt.

      Thomas Ramirez I’m saying “better than ever” meaning their music and mental health. In the article about Composure, this is their favorite album they’ve made so far. I’m a huge RF fan, “good” doesn’t even compare to what I feel towards their music.

    This is fine, but it feels like just more pop rock. Good to see that they still maintain lyrical consistency and that they seem to be working hard and mainly doing it themselves. Maybe I'm just bitter that it doesn't sound like the first ep though

    • @1thenatural1
      @1thenatural1 Před 6 lety +2

      Really? This sounds like a pop album that Imagine Dragon bullshit would put out so far...last album was more similar to their original roots.

    • @iluvpost-hardcore4204
      @iluvpost-hardcore4204 Před 6 lety +6

      naturallythe1 lol no , all the new singles they've put out dont sound nothing like that imagine dragons bullshit. it sounds more like early/mid 2000s pop punk and emo which i like, dont even try to compare it to that shitty ass music.
      Edit: also there last album didnt sound like their roots to me, it was more 90s midwestern emo and indie rock sound than pop punk, when i think of their roots i think of their 3 ep's and debut album.

    • @1thenatural1
      @1thenatural1 Před 6 lety +1
