LYRICS
oh dont let it get you down no
we gettin more than we can handle we live a dangerous scandal
no love no no love no
kids afraid of being shot up
shooter drills are how they brought up with e gonzalez we all stand up
we call bs though no love no
the left wing and right wing the flex and the fight
afraid to speak up when we know this aint right
thoughts and the prayers they dont help if we die, time to change it
we all living like strangers
we aint living like neighbors no more no love, only anger
how low can we go how low can we go
the upside down is now the future friends dont lie but damn they use ya if social media dont choose ya
you just a shadow so shallow
money and greed dont get chya what ya want its beatin us down we dont want it to stop
out here just spilling our blood for the top but we about to feel the drop
instead of tryin to forgive we all got something to prove
instead of fighting to win we out here choosing to lose
instead of calling for peace we out here yelling for war
instead of setting hopes high we got our face to the floor
instead of speaking our minds we aint got nothing to say
instead of showing some love we got a heart full of hate
instead of breaking from lies we out here bending the truth
instead of fists in the air we got a nazi salute.
what more can i really do? just goes on and on and on
wouldnʼt expect me to put up a fight cuz we just strangers after all right? - Hudba
This song predicted the future.
"We about to feel the drop..."
We felt it.
This and History Of Violence both perfectly replicate what is going on in today’s society. It’s a constant struggle between the good and the bad.
you get it wrong. modern society doesn't experience the struggle between good and bad. it actually experiences people not understanding what good and bad are
That too, but there is still a struggle between good and bad. While there is an unclear line between the two, there is still a struggle between them.
We need to go beyond politics and start thinking as a whole, by force, if need be. I'm waiting to see how QAnon plays out, if it isn't what I believe it to be I'll be out making the changes.
I'm still out making changes, just not aggressively as I was. Love is king. Do your part and unite people around you, we all need to be showing that love overcomes all.
Logan what are you blathering about ? There’s always a struggle between good and bad. This has nothing to do the good and bad but the civil war that’s going on in our country right now between our political parties. Grow up and educate yourself
Theory of a Deadman - Strangers - Lyrics
[Intro]
The dark side of the city
Sirens are the stereo
The dark side of the city
How low can we go? How low can we go?
[Verse 1]
Don't let it get you down, no
We're getting more than we can handle
We live a dangerous scandal
No love, no, no love, no
Kids afraid of being shot up
Shooter drills are how they brought up
With E. Gonzalez we all stand up
We call B.S. though, no love, no
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The left-wing and right-wing, the flex and the fight
Afraid to speak up when we know this ain't right
Thoughts and the prayers, they don't help if we got
Time to change it, yeah
[Chorus]
We all living like strangers
We ain't living like neighbors no more
No love, only anger
How low can we go? How low can we go?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
How low can we go? How low can we go?
[Verse 2]
The upside-down is now the future
Friends don't lie but damn they use ya
If social media don't choose ya
You just a shadow, so shallow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Money and greed don't get ya what you want
It's beating us down, we don't want it to stop
Out here just spilling our blood for the top
But we about to feel the drop
[Chorus]
We all living like strangers
We ain't living like neighbors no more
No love, only anger
How low can we go? How low can we go?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
How low can we go? How low can we go?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
How low can we go? How low can we go?
[Bridge]
Instead of tryna forgive, we all got something to prove
Instead of fighting to win, we out here choosing to lose
Instead of calling for peace, we out here yelling for war
Instead of setting hopes high, we got our face to the floor
Instead of speaking our minds, we got nothing to say
Instead of showing some love, we got a love full of hate
Instead of breaking from lies, we out here bending the truth
Instead of fists in the air, we got a Nazi salute
What more can I really do?
Just goes on, and on, and on
Wouldn't expect me to put up a fight
'Cause we just strangers after all, right?
[Chorus]
We all living like strangers
We ain't living like neighbors no more
No love, only anger
How low can we go? How low can we go?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
How low can we go? How low can we go?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
Low, oh-oh, oh-oh-whoa
How low can we go? How low can we go?
This band is incredible at releasing music that is so applicable to current society. This is 2022 to a T. We are all living like strangers…..
Whatever vibe Theory puts out is ok with me. Music is art. It's not our place to judge which path any band takes because its their ART. If you're really a fan--you go along for the ride. Nice work guys. I just saw you in Cherokee. Really enjoyed it.
HOMEOSTACEIS 🖤
Actually it’s called selling out..
If I like something I'll listen to it. If I don't, I won't. Life isn't all or nothing. You can be a fan of some albums and not others. No hate, just saying.
erforce2s I totally agree with you. I just get tired of hearing people bitch about their bands “selling out” because they want them to have the same exact sound forever and ever. Life is constant change. For godsakes, we waited 13 years for a new Tool album and people still bitched about it. It’s art. Even if it’s not someone’s thing, one is able to find the good in everything if they just open their eyes.
Beautifully said and there’s nothing wrong with any of it. All music is good and styles. Let them be free to experiment with new sounds.
It might have a good impact on the heavy stuff others love.
As soon as they drop one new rock hit they’ll jump back on the bandwagon lol.
I live in a little bit of a rough area , cars in the parking lot got smashed windows ftom thieves , laundry machines in my building broken from thieves prying them open, sirens often. I feel like i can relate to this song.
Omg, that's so sad, sorry for you
We all need to support our loved artists..not because piracy....only because they represent our thoughts, sub conscious, and that's the main rule for people like them on earth...they d'ont know nothing else..we need to support them, to support ourselves .
I love Theory of a deadman and will always support them as theory as much as I loved their rock and older music and name i appreciate their music now after all it’s still the same band and I love them. I can’t wait to see them live in a weeks time ❤️
I think the album is GREAT! Thank God that they know how to change and not drive themselves into obscurity. I love the old stuff too, but always welcome an artist's ability to change with the times and stay true to themselves ...
History of Violence caught me by surprise when they transitioned music styles. Honestly, I'm not mad at all. It took me a while to get into it but I grew to like their new singles a lot, especially this song. As somebody who feels heavily for topics in the lyrics including mass shootings, politics and the media/news, and other issues our nation currently deals with tells a message and wake up call (pun intended) that we should come together to make change for the betterment of our people. Rather than being divided by our own self inflicted opinions. If people don't like the new style, it's fine. I care more about their compassion for music and sharing them into creating a form of art 🙌
These songs are all great, but man can we just once more unleash the guitars and rock out? please??
Thanks for understanding the message of the song. If you miss their older themed song than just go that song.
@@putinsthirdtoe8800 its all good as long as we all know that epstien didnt kill himself.
Yeah I enjoy songs like RX Medicate but this is getting boring honestly. We have enough pop stars, we need more rock.
love u
need some more guitar action for sure
This song hit me so hard and it's so good in every way damn good stuff TOAD
We need more music like this albums
Seriously people are more preoccupied with the sound of the song than the meaning. It is disgusting that people think they can control how artists create their art. This piece has a deep meaning that all these old folks just don't seem to get.
Man that's a great song...
At the end of the day they've chosen to use their music as a platform to speak out about the issues in this world, can they really be slammed for that? Sure I'd like them to return to the original TOADM even for a few songs, but certainly I'm not about to give up on them and am still loving the new sound. Can't wait to see them in Manchester.
When I first heard this song I immediately fell in love with the new sound. I was excited to hear more. When this was released as a single with two other songs I listened to them and knew from then on the album is going to be good.
There's still places in the US that we live like neighbors, it's in rural communities. Find a small town to raise your kids and enjoy a community where you know your neighbors and you depend on each other instead of big government.
I will always call bullshit, speak my mind. And I'm respected for my honest opinions. Hard to find somebody who tells you what you need to hear. Not what you wanT to hear. It's way more important.
I love the new style and sound , you guys are so talented
How’s this not on my local radio air waves?
The bad music makes you listen to the lyrics. Good shit.
What
Can't you just appreciate their art? Okay, it's very different from the last albuns, but, well, did you realy expect it would be forever and ever the same thing? Too good they've changed and I hope it gives them a real sucess.
Personally the way the music style changes between songs is part of why I started listening to them. It reminds me of Queen (thats a very positive comparison to me). It demonstrates the talent of the group.
I like 2 songs from this album but the rest is mediocre crap. It has nothing to do with the style. I love their last album and that was the same style. This album just blows other than strangers and ted bundy.
@@jimmydiarrheahouse4519 You may or may not realize this but there are people with the exact opposite opinion to yours, they feel this entire album is great but the last one was garbage except one or 2 tracks. Here's the kicker, neither of you is wrong, and both of you speak only for yourself.
@@shanerasmussen5225 a screaming majority of the Theory of a Deadman fans certainly do not like this album, nor the last one. They switched genre to attempt to get a top 40 and more or less failed two straight times. This is not Theory of a Deadman. It all very poorly written and has no essence anymore. I'd call them sellout but that requires them actually selling.
@@jimmydiarrheahouse4519 That is neither an objective fact nor is it of any importance whatsoever.
We are being pitted against one another to distract us. United we are unstoppable.
I love Theory of a Deadman, and as a fan I will support them as Theory. Having said that, this new sound is definitely not showcasing their best musical abilities.
Artists have to grow and evolve. Not to mention this is an important message.
I believe they were going for this specific sound to better fit the point they're trying to get across.
This doesn't sound too different from what's on Wake Up Call.
They forgot rock infact they are not making rock these days
I like the veer union better than this atleast they dont leave their genre.
Can't wait to see you on the 21st 🙌🙌🙌
I've listened to theory of a Deadman for a long time. They just better with time
Love this song guys
This song and the imagery in the video, wow, this is music.
Good seeing you at the Clyde Theatre last week Tyler!!!! You actually waved at me!!!!! I love you!!!! I'm loving the new sound!!!! Can't wait to get this album
Love love love love this song and them!!!!
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG❤❤❤🙌🏼🙌🏼 KEEP IT UP GUYS❤✌🏼
The visualizer on this video hits super hard these days!
I agree with many others that the old type of music they created before was great but this new ones are also great. I am loving the new songs that they are producing just like I was into the old ones.
These comments really make me question if they listened to the song or LISTENED to the song, they weren't trying to sound rock or anything like that with this. Clearly the message wooshed over your head. There is time for rock and fun but there is also time for serious conversations.
Personally attractive music attracts the listener to listen closer. If the music isn't as attractive to said person then clearly they will pass off deeper listening....just like I just did
Mr. Krabs facts
This and "affluenza" are literally gospel. We should be better by now. I want these songs to reach the planet.
Does anyone actually understand the meaning of this song and visuals? We are still divided. More then ever.
The red n blue reps republican n democratic as in no matter wat we do were always divided by our political views
@Vlad the Inhaler Why? In what way?
If one side is blaming all of our problems on individuals (like all Jews, gays, immigrants, or black people), and the other side is blaming systemic institutions established through history (like corporate corruption, neverending war, a backwards justice system, and lack of access to education), then...
Sorry, I'm going with the logical analysis of history over an emotionally generalizing entire groups of people.
0:00 The red and blue represents Republicans and Democrats, but it also has the double meaning of a police state, if you notice the beginning of the song, where the sirens on the police car are red and blue.
Then, all of the bombs, tanks, and guns throughout the song represent the military actions America takes regularly around the world.
0:35 is referencing Big Pharma. You can see the rod of asclepius (the medical symbol) over money signs, held by a skeleton making an Uncle Sam pose. Basically saying the healthcare industry is killing Americans for profit.
After that is obviously Trump's border wall. "We ain't living like neighbors."
1:15 is Lady Liberty with surveillance cameras.
1:18 is a voting booth on fire. Self-explanatory.
1:38 those tiki torches were involved in a far right protest where they were chanting "Jews will not replace us" over and over again.
At the end, the fist is the "resist" fist, used by many civil rights activists throughout history. It's also somewhat of a left-wing anarchy symbol.
I love most of their stuff, but this is a great song.
Every comment I've seen is about the change in music I personally listen to the words and the sound that's why I listen to them the words seem like they meaning
Love it. Love you guys 🤟💕
Best song on album period......
Hey guys i loved the old Theory of a Dead Man, but this song is not bad at all it actually sounds good and is really chill.
Love at first sound.
You know I'm not one for bands changing but as I get older their new music suits me better.
The meaning hits me so close to home and I absolutely love it. Great quality and just has that ring that zing that crazy sound.
So good!
I thought the same thing.
I used to love the old music, and haven't really liked much change with the bands I've listened to. Well, admittedly as I got older I kind of drifted from bands like Theory of a Deadman, I've stopped listening to a lot of bands I used to binge all the time. This sound? Right back down my alley, I absolutely love it!
The rocks not dead the music is about rebeling against hate and oppression thats still rock and roll to me ,it may not sound the same but the heart of it still lives 🤙🎸
This isn't rock and this comment is also very cringey.
Love it, first time hearing it😥 where have I been this last year.
This was the perfect early birthday gift! ( I turned 40 on 11/9) Great message and song....
Happy late birthday
@@Mark-s747 Thank you 😊
@@avab1733 ofc
Is this really the best recent rock has to offer. I miss 90's and 00's rock 😞
Slipknot, Tool, and Rammstein all released albums this year
This is pop not rock. If you want rock check out some Breaking Benjamin and RED or if you want metal some Carnifex or Polaris.
Epic!!!!!
New song!!!!♥️🙏😭
Keep evolving, it gets better every release. And F the haters. See you in 2020!
@Tyler Sharp same, this is a great song
This song is not about capturing their sound this song is about what's going on in society today it's purely lyrics
True
Perfect!!!! Love Theory even more!!
Thank you for always being meaningful in your music. These lyrics ring so much truth. I wish you would have played it in Belvidere, which was a fantastic show by the way! It's funny, the last show we went to in Joliet, IL at the Forge, right after you released Rx. Was great to hear that live this time around! Thanks for the heart you put into music.
I wish it were harder or have at least a few heavy switchs
ThaT is'nT ThE PoinT OF ThE SonG
I think this song is awesome so fuck off
I’d like to have seen this live when we went to see them last month
Matt lingo im going to see them next year
I’ve seen them a dozen times never been disappointed yet seeing them in fact Tyler grabbed my phone and filmed a selfie during a song when we seen them in oct
#matt lingo very cool and very lucky. I can't wait to see them next year!
this is great
Thank you for existing...
Nice song ❤
I really really Miss the old style. But still, i like your new tone. And still, with all the changes, you guys didnt dissapoint, and im still a big fan
It sounds a bit boring when you just listen to it, but If you really hear it, the meaning of the song is very interesting and true
I loved it
Strange when I don't know myself. Anymore
I hope they bring out at least one good rock song out of the album then I'll be happy
Awesome
And for that matter it's beautiful
Nice song bro.
Wow... Amazing!!!... ✊😻🎧🎼💓💓💓
Sounds different than your usual stuff but I do love it, I am so proud of how far you all have come ❤️
Nice
We you can start signing it after the first chorus it’s catchy! Great song guys can’t wait to see you in February!
Not to be confused with singing your mortgage papers
Awesome song!
I love the musical expansion, nice change to Theory. At least some of us don't like cookie cutter music, expand your horizons.
I dont necessarily like cookie cutter music. I just don't like pop. And its hard for fans to watch one of their favorite rock bands no longer play rock. The last album just didnt hit me the same way some of their other stuff. It just means theyre attracting a new audience with this new sound and some of us miss the old sound because what those were really spoke to us.
I don't know what you're talking about, this is one of the most cookie-cutter songs I've heard this week.
@@thenamelessone528 i mean. Its pop. Almost all new pop is cookie cutter
Really, what song that Theory has does it replicate, do enlighten.
This remains to be seen from the rest of the album, this band has always done songs that track the charts in pop and rock, and their first track "History of Violence" is on the LA LLOYDs Rock 30 countdown now.
Essa ficou braba 👏👏💥❤
the last 2 track are so fucking good, i dont care if TOADM changed, imma be real and say this album gonna be fucking amazing.
Damn!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Lol
✊
The lyrics are so powerful. Makes you really think about what is going on in today’s world. Can’t keep living like strangers guys. We gotta work together
Ya we gotta
I like it. It's so true.
Ya it is
yeaaaaahhhh!! they are back.... long time no see,, how're ya doin guys...
Great song🇺🇸👍
Love you guys keep it up.
Tbh who's to judge theory of a deadman as just theory. And their new music has proven that they can do much more then just hard rock. KEEP IT UP GUYS MUSIC STILL GOES HARD
Awesome!
It is
I like this a lot. Great work guys, see you in Bristol 👍
Rip to the deadman. Just watching Shinedown go down the same road.
Por favor que no sea el único que habla español al que le guste esta banda! 🤘
Somos muchos
@@rogeliozamora1821 no.te.preocupes.no.estas.solo
@@jorgedavidchalenromero7588 no estaba preocupado
Wtf this is tight.
Everyone is bitching about them not putting out rock music, this is more rock than any other band trying to put together a band,this is rock music cause they're telling people how it is whether they like it or not, that how life is, everyone is really living like strangers
Trae Burgess The song is slanted toward a republicans being the strangers. Look guns bad, trump as kkk, and walls. Social engineering at its finest.
@@revy1370 Your missing the point, they are talking about both sides being bad if all you do is look at how they critisie the right you are not helping anything.
Imagine just getting along what a future we might have there is no need for people killing people yet it happens, because we are all basically strangers if we could all get together and end shit like hunger or giving people water then to get together and killing the innocent people.. then that would be a great day#Theory
Love it
RIP GOOD DAYS
Hecho de menos el sonido de theory of a deadman. Este no suena mal, pero, prefiero el primero.
Love this song! Fits right into today's world!
Ya kinda does
I used to love when they were dead..
@@biggiecheese5216 woman
attack helicopter
Then go listen to nickelback then
Omg stranger things this is so dope
Reminds me of “the new real” by three days grace. Regardless I am never disappointed in this beautiful band.
One of my favorite bands keep it up guys, you guys rock!!!!!!!!!
Nice
Great tune! Makes me think how we all don't have any security or privacy.
Just me or does it kinda remind anyone else of 2020?
Yes it does
Ill be honest, I like their new and old music, prefer the old one 100x more but I still like this stuff too. (Also the fact I dislike pop, its hard for me to find a song tha has pop.) People need to stop complaining about their new music being different. Let them do whatever, ill still support them and i hope some of you guys too.
And now to present time we are fighting against politicians that don’t care..
