Lyrics
Do you see me
Do you see what I’ve become
I’m not the same beast
I leave a scar on all I touch
You think you know me now
Is it better than I know myself
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you’ve misjudged
All my life I’ve been told the same old
Don’t step out, don’t test the mould
We know your kind, yeah we know you
So much better than you know yourself
See, the ones that won’t engage me
Are the same trying to cage me
But I can’t sit still and I won’t be tame
When the lights go out
Better know your enemy
Because I’ve spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death
And we’ll dance with the devil ‘til there’s no songs left
So do you see me
Do you see what I’ve become
I’m not the same beast, no
I leave a scar on all I touch
You think you know me now
Is it better than I know myself
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you’ve misjudged
You don’t know me, you cannot own me
The path I’m on don’t fit the old me
I bare my soul as I keel evolving
And I chase this taste for blood
See, I learned real young, don’t seek no gold
Trust no fool and you won’t get sold
I never feared the dark
No, I just became it
When the lights go dead
You better pray you’re safe kid
Because I’ve spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death
And we’ll dance with the devil ‘til there’s no songs left
I try
To keep my cool and not let this hate win
I find
This mask I wear can’t keep the darkness in
The world you know was born to fade
We’ll dance upon its grave
You don’t know me, you cannot hold me
You should have guessed that you can’t control me
I raise my soul like a private army and I steel myself for war
Because I leaned real young, when you walk through hell
The devil can’t buy what you won’t sell
So I took my fear, reshaped and aimed
Because when the night caves in
No one will save you
So we’ll dance with the devil ‘til there’s no songs left
I try
To keep my cool and not let this hate win
I find
This mask I wear can’t keep the darkness in

Love this
Lmao
Cringe
@@chaosnexxus9255 yeah you really are.
@@lauralush23 Only kidding pal. 😉
true really strong sentence 🤑
0:07 "do you see me"?
me: barely
i rarely laugh to a youtube comment
but this time
Lmao.
I laughed way too much at this comment :D
gold comment my friend
😂😂😂😂
Every time that violin segment comes up I get absolute chills. Such a amazing song
Epic stuff right there... 💪💪💪♥️
Ain't it though?
There's either an ancient or medieval war movie that has a violin song playing during a scene towards the end where you're going across the battlefield looking at the 1000s of dead laying out there/all around, and for the life of me I cannot remember the movie and song name. It sounds just like the violin segment here with only like 2 note differences
It's an incredible song I used to listen to since that movie, this song reminded me of it, and it's realllyyyyy annoying me that I can't remember the freaking name lol
"We should make another video"
"Sure, we got some unused footage from Wishing Wells, we could use that!"
God damn it 😂😂
"Ey guys, InFlames kinda copied our video, what should we do?"
"Maybe we should copy our video too and add some cool things to that?"
"Will do. People love that, right?"
:D :D Music videos are expensive
@@tentinquarantino876 Demon Hunter did something similar with LifeWar in 2010
Who gives a fuck?
I am so glad i discovered this band. Just so fresh and different for metal core and i can't get enough
I too recently got turned on to PWD a couple years ago in my late 40s . I have a new affinity for metalcore . Trivium, ATR , KSE and many others. I can’t believe I almost missed out on this
Melody, anger, beauty, rapping, screaming, poetry, violins, heavy and emotional sounds. This song has everything, just like every other track off Reverence. Can't believe people don't appreciate this piece of art
#youcantholdparkwaydrive
@SuperRufy ok
Thank you for speaking the truth!
fucking piece of art!!!
I don't like that they didn't keep the german parts in german.
Altough, I'm not really a fan, Caspar did a great job and the mix between german and english was just great.
This might be just me, though.
The world you know was born to fade, we'll dance upon it's grave.. such a true verse
When you don't just hear words, but you actually live this life... Thanks for this song.... Felt good as it flowed through me.
Great song , as a Veteran I really appreciate this song . PWD are the best Metal band Australia has ever produced. Thanks Guys .
This song has a really important message. Pay attention for you will only very rarely in life receive such words of wisdom. Take it to heart and live your life to the fullest. You are stronger than you think.
"No one will save you" gives me chills Everytime since this song came out last year
Same ❤
"I try, to keep my cool and not let this hate win!"... enough said, love this song, the drums are perfection!
Winston's clean vocals 👌
They performed this when me and my brother went to see them on Thursday in Notts and they were beyond awesome.
Goosebumps everywhere! Thank you Parkway Drive for always creating the best lyrics! ♡
He's literally bitching like a teenager and saying "fuck you" to the fans of, well, every album that came before this. Because Winston is mentally a teenager and cannot handle people not liking everything he does.
@@realCharAznable People who demand bands to produce the same album over and over again are usually the teenagers so nice projection.
@@comedicsociopathy No one in this thread demanded anything like that. Maybe you clicked the wrong comment.
@@comedicsociopathy what
Lyrics from learning in #upchurch thank God and family for everything.
#youthofthenation
If I don't sing this at least 2 or 3 times a day, I feel like something is wrong or I'm not under enough pressure!
So much love and respect, thank you PD
You've literally kept me alive when I was ready to be dead like I am inside! 🤘💯🤘💞
Still bumping in 2024 with the reelected oompa loompa president Trump!!
🤣🤪🤘😇
Wow
I get the way alot of metalheads think, because i used to be the same way. I hated when a band changed their sound and became softer/more medolic. It felt like a good friend changed and stopped being my friend. I understand it.
But you guys also have to understand that these guys change, their emotions change, and Winston has been using this album to cope with his loss (listen to wishing wells).
To me its narrow minded to judge the music based off your attatchment to them. Now if they changed into an off-brand Attila, id understand the anger. But this album has musicianship, musical skill, deep lyrics that are presented with emotion and depth. Its good music, even if your feelings and taste dont let you like it.
You spoke the truth and said exactly what I think about this
people just cant understand, they 34 years old already (or maybe older)
akbarfajarmaulana fucking right? They were like 22 when horizons came out now he’s 34 and he wants to write new shit. Those “fans” are like your mom and dad getting mad cause you don’t like the same shit as if you were 10 but your in your early 20’S now lol
Winston is actually 36.
@@kweis92 true, just check out their first movie and home is for the heartless one, its so different and they grow up so fast. we are so lucky, that parkway drive even tho they change their genre, but they change it up slowly. take a look at the other band such as bmth, they change drastically
I'm so glad he started to dabble in cleans its suits parkway drives style of music perfectly
Ryan Bailey true dat!!
First 30 second hearing this : Are you sure this is Parkway Drive??
After 30 seconds : Yup, this is Parkway Drive!
Really? The rap part is what makes you say this is Parkway Drive?
How the fuck did they go from karma to this dark shit
Jairo V music is about expressing how you feel, if you actually were a fan of parkway you’d realise “this dark shit” is because they lost people close to them and he’s expressing how he felt
@@jairov6745 Karma is far from being their best song lmao
robert williams LoL whatever
I dont think a mind explosion has ever been better represented via a guitar rift
I can't stop listening to this
Rhythmically and lyrically unparalleled... None can challenge. Their eyes are so open.
This song kicks ass and hits home for me big-time. How I had made it to 51yrs old is beyond me. I've come close a few times to seeing the grim reaper on a few occasions. Then real shit hit. Nov 4th 2019. I was blown up in an industrial accident. "I'll dance with the devil till there's no songs left." This song moves me in a way I can't really explain
The best song ever made. Got to be played as loud as possible. Gives me motivation when I’m depressed to actually be productive or when I work out 👌💙
this song has gotten me through so many hard times these blokes are legends
🤘🏻🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🤘🏻 Wow I ❤️ the energy in Winston's voice! Never disappointed🔥🤘🏻⚡️⚡️❤️
Nice, been waiting for a video for this one!
Best song off the album, hands down.
It's good, but I'm gonna go with prey and in blood also .
Have you listened to chronos
I've listened to the whole album several times dude, @@brandonowen1426. Chronos is a solid tune along with Wishing Wells and In Blood. Prey however Vincent is complete radio style piss, really does nothing for me tbh.
Hell yes, Ive been listening to it on repeat for the past week
Shadowboxing, Colour of Leaving, and Wishing Wells for me. But they haven't ever released a bad album. Each is solid as fuck the whole way through.
This song, Chronos and I hope you rot are the best of the album
this is a true statement. in blood rules too
Absolute power and chronos are you kidding?
Fucking Agreed!!!!!
agreed
Yep
This is a fucking master piece. I can't even describe how I feel about this amazing song.
Masterpiece yes!
Would agree, and fuck all these people calling it "Wishing Well" 2.0
Pretty fucken good song!
I really love this album! Cant wait to hear more of you guys
Was für ein genialer Song! Höre ihn seit Wochen rauf und runter!
Hammer! 🤘🏻
Greetings from Germany
My favorite song from my favorite band got an epic music video. I love it!!
This is my No.1 gym track.
This song and those lyrics send shivers down my spine. Amazing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This one's so underrated. Hope it's getting more famous now.
Is it underrated? I feel like it is one of their best!
PWD and underrated? lel
@@Nerdybdirty He means it deserves more praise than it gets because it's really good
Incredible song, incredible band! Can't wait for the next album! Best metal band on earth. Point. Blank. Period.
Only now, reading the comments, I am learning about the meaning of this song and album, and now I feel like telling a story. This was their 1st song I heard. I wasn't a fan before obviously, because I didn't know about them. I heard it not even knowing the name of the band and I thought it was a perfect song. Simple, and perfect. Now I feel that way about most of their songs. I'm a fan ever since, and understanding the emotional meaning of this work and the path that led to it only makes me adore them more. So thanks guys, and Parkway Drive you keep it up motherfuckers, you're awesome. All the best from now on.
Can’t wait for the new album. These guys keep blowing my mind again with awesome music, I have to say - these lyrics hit home harder each time I listen. Moral of the song - keep your head on a swivel, kids, bc your closest confidants can be your future enemies in wait.
So amazing. By far my fav band of all time
One of the most outstanding songs of the album, just amazing in every aspect and now it has a video. Great job guys
Mio Leser I love your profile picture. Phenomenal album
@@SadboySpidey Thanks mha dude, yes indeed.
Was just gonna say the same thing😂
I also came to say nice dp
In my opinion this is the best song in the album 🤘
Best song on the album. Hands down. Got to see them play this live the first time they did on the US tour in tucsan arizona. I lost my mind so good
Parkway drive is by far the best metalcore band hands down!!!! This song gets me fucking pumped everytime
A killer track for a killer album!!! Cannot wait to see you again during the European tour! It is gonna be insane!!!
I watched their show few days before. FUCKING AMAZING!!!
Looks like the Wishing Wells video director got another $100 funding for this video!
Im dying errrmerrrgerrddd
TRUUUUUU
_I knew I wasn't the only one who instantly thought that_
True:) i think this video's cost $200
lmao
Seen this live. Best concert I've been to in last 10 yrs.
First I press the "like" button, then I listen the song. Parkway Drive is the best band ever!
His vocals are 10/10 on this album!
Period!
Those cleans don't sound good to me :D (don't mean those in bridge)
@@jeffreyjayallnix all opinion
@@jeffreyjayallnix unfotunatwly I dont feel it either. His cleans are nothing special imho
@@vesak988 zní tak nějak hodně amatérsky 😀 před asi 3 lety na Brutalu byli pwd super...pak mi přijde, že šla jejich tvorba do hoven
**loses friends and family** **write a melodic album to express feelings of their passing** "I'm scared of change, the album is shit!"
I mean, the last song of the album pretty much summed up the whole thing. Just because it wasn't a guttural burp into a mic, doesn't make it any less emotional for them, or their fans. Hell, Johnny Cash was metal before there was, and that's because he had strong lyrics. Same goes for PWD. You make a deep emotional connection with fans, you succeed. Those who really listened, understood exactly what was happening with this album. It's not wrong for an artist to write an album that pleases themselves. It's a 10/10 for me, dawg.
Preach!
Thank you!
Dreadful Viking exactly!! Amen. Everything they do is 150% effort and they hold nothing back. It’s their sincerity and lyrical content that have pulled me into all their music. Reverence gives me goosebumps, front to back. Doesn’t get any more original than when you write from the heart
Can relate to the album 100% my dad died just before this album came out
Luke Tobin so sorry bud for that tremendous loss
Pure genius. It is fantastic and unique . Masterpiece
Omg, I'm so glad a video was made for this song. SO. GOOD.
Love you guys. Greetings from Greece.
Το λαιβ τους το 2017 στην αθηνα με διαφορα το καλυτερο που εχω παει
@@mildwasabi998 Πραγματικά! Χαμός! Είναι τρελός,είναι τρελός ο Αυστραλός!
ΝΑΙ ΜΩΡΉ ΤΡΕΛΑ
im a 50 plus and these guys are fucking amazing on of my favs off this album.
Tattooed "Dance with the Devil till there's no songs left." a few days back. Man this speaks to me on so many levels....
So love these guys. I'm dying of liver disease, so life sucks, but this music makes me happy.
Wow, now that's a testimony with some power.
Even though the new album was a bit of a let down to many, I think the tracks are still great. Excited for your next album!
me:
*starting a brand new game*
the very first in-game brightness settings: *do you see me?*
I knew this would eventually be a single! This song is super powerful to no end.
I have to say, Its probably the best Music Video Visual ive seen ever. Of all Time
3:01 when you see a spider
God,they're soooo goooood 🔥
Winston's shadow has always been prominent but he's so nice in person!!
It's the first time I see Winston making a clean vocals and it got really good.
Pandora played this for me. Definitely a banger. Awesome song
I was really upset about this... They need to put on so hit that replay button has many times I want...
This is the best pump up song
Ugh why do people throw a tantrum whenever a band changes their sound or add clean vocals? They are not "selling out", they're maturing and growing up
that melody is so epic, really love that Song
This song represents my everyday battles with depression and anxiety, and fighting these demons that try to hold me down
Peter Kendrick go to the gym, drink water and smoke some weed. Fuck the demons
@@Li8eralsarescum69 honestly some great advice here.
Source: suffering myself for 5+ years
I feel ya on that one. This song hits home for me.
I FIND THIS MASK I WEAR CANT KEEP THE DARKNESS IIINNN!!!!
parkwaydrive is comeback \m/
i feel happy
an absolute banger, 4 minutes of a pure intense and insane music !
I love it. This record is my introduction to Parkway Drive.
Muito obrigado pelo som, Parkway Drive 🇧🇷🤘🔥
I respect these bois for changing their sound and all but man I miss how atlas slapped
Yeah, same here =D but this still slaps, just not as hard as Dark Days
It slapped hard
But this is still really good. It just shows how much talent they have. I saw them in Atlanta the week this album dropped and it was fucking amazing. Best show I've ever been to.
And still yet not as hard as Horizons
create a megamix of all their albums. that's what I did and it was one of the best things I ever done
Still The same Parkway Drive for me. Allways giving us awesome Songs. For sure, One of The best bands ever.... 🇵🇹
Thank you again brothers for helping me with my ptsd. Its an odd and off life to wrangle the cruel irony of existence.
AWESOME SONG...!!! 🤘🏼😎👍🏼
awesome!
Parkway drive you have blown my mind away on this song. I'm glad they changed up the sound with more melodic parts.
This is a jewel of a masterpiece
Nice.
I guess Winston love to talk to camera
Amazing. Love their new sound.
I love that my favorite band for 10 years now has finally reached world domination..
Holy shit, this video could've have come at a better time. Was in the mood for a Parkway binge, and I just finished watching Wishing Wells
the violin part, starting at 2:24, makes the difference between a good song and a masterpiece
I love that part
Reborn... best new track! 😊 Thank you! ❤
Still don’t disappoint with the music the put out. On my bucket list to see live!! Keep it up! 👍🏻
I FINF your mask with a beautiful darkness out! Great power inseide!
Can't wait to see you guys with KSE this SUMMER!!
Sonic temple festival?!
My life's new goal is to learn this song's chorus's riff so I can headbang to it as I play.
Wow... Absolutely STUNNING..
Is it just me, or does this song hit close when you have been bullied alot?
Hope you are no longer being bullied bud
@@david32gtr87 im 2m tall, and 100kgs mate. Nobody bullying anyone around me no more! I appreciate you, mate!
Shadow Boxing: Hey dude I forgot to do my homework can I copy from yours?
Wishing Wells: Of course man just make sure you change some stuff so no one can tell
Shadow Boxing: I got you bro
Blown away by this album man.
i listen to all kinds of metal since i was a kid but pwd is something special i love the energy the meaning and their live shows is so so good..return to greece soon!!
Second best on the album after Chronos!
Chronos is the best song on planet earth
Absolutely agree. Chronos is a masterpiece.
Love the song but can’t help but think of the Chronos scene from family guy when I see the song title 😂😂
Agreed!
I'm torn between this and I hope you rot for 3rd
such a fucking banger
not sure about the music video though :P
it's the wishing wells video, but with a bit of a higher budget
When you think you are vaping nicotine but your friend gave you an oil pen
This song gets me seriously pumped up . gyms fear me when this is playing on my headphones, mates. 💪
What a Chad lol
that whisper of no one will save you and then the raw scream hits fucking hard
