    LYRICS
    Weighed down.
    Weighed down on the way down.
    I've lived behind a mask so long, so few know who I am, they know other sides of me that hide behind a haunted man.
    And though my hands are made of stone and I break everything I see, they've saved me from myself, and they stand by me.
    Weighed down on the way down, I need someone to take my hand.
    It feels like I can't breathe and I might drown on the way down.
    I'm sick of all the come-downs, don't tell me that there's nothing wrong, I'm weighed down, way down.
    I'll fight fatigue I'll fight for you for everything that we've been through, I'll take your hand, I'll carry on, I've been weighed down for far too long.
    And though my hands are made of stone, and I break everything I see, they've saved me from myself and they stand by me.
    Stand by me.
    Weighed down on the way down, I need someone to take my hand.
    It feels like I can't breathe and I might drown on the way down.
    I'm sick of all the come-downs, don't tell me that there's nothing wrong.
    I'm weighed down, way down.
    I won't be weighed down.
    There's too much resting on this.
    Never be weighed down.
    I'll fucking stand and resist.
    Weighed down on the way down, I need someone to take my hand.
    It feels like I can't breathe and I might drown on the way down.
    I'm sick of all the come-downs, don't tell me that there's nothing wrong.
    I'm weighed down, way down.

      ***** You are confusing grammatical perfection with proficiency at lyrics and song writing. Music is an art, like poetry it will deviate from correct grammatical form when necessary or for the right effect. How do you not understand this?

    This song, Pittsburgh, Don't lean on me, Give it all, My fathers son, and Forest Fire all just speak to me in ways I havent heard music before. I cried a little bit when I first really listened to give it all. I used to hate this music too, haha funny how that works.

      Anonymooseity Thats how I was, I hated really any form of metal that wasnt just clean vocals, but now its most of what I listen to. I listened to Youngbloods and then a week or 2 later Chasing Ghosts came out and that album spoke to me a little bit, but LTOTM spoke to me even more. TAA is my favorite band now and has been since I listened to a few different songs on Chasing Ghosts.

      And in addition to what you just said why would we want this to be as generic and mainstream as most pop music. Then everyone and their grandma would be listening to our music and mindlessly singing it in the car not paying any attention to the meaning of the song or its message. They'll listen to it purely because it's what's popular at the time. (Popular......pop.....same thing)

    This was the very first song I heard from Amity. I remember showing my Mom this video. I remember the video was already a few months old by then. She started crying for some reason. She died from an accident less than a year later. My life crumbled thereafter. I immediately got my first and only tattoo right on my hand. It's an Amity one in remembrance of her and the love I have for my favorite band. That will never change; I will never forget what she was to me or what these guys did to help me get through the pain. Their music was a little self destructing at that point tbh but I believe I still owe a lot of my existence to TAA. Thanks guys.

      This music helped me through my darkest times and now 10 years later I can say things get a lot better. Coming back and exploring it gives a lot to reflect on but I would not be the person I am without these certain bands. Trust me. Let music, movies, tv, lead you through your journey. Find peace in what makes you happy.

    Weighed down
    Weighed down on the way down
    I've lived behind a mask so long, so few know who I am
    They know other sides of me that hide behind a haunted man
    Though my hands are made of stone
    And I break everything I see
    They've saved me from myself
    And they stand by me
    Weighed down on the way down
    I need someone to take my hand
    It feels like I can't breathe
    And I might drown on the way down
    I'm sick of all the comedowns
    Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
    I'm weighed down, way down
    I'll fight fatigue, I'll fight for you
    For everything that we've been through
    I'll take your hand, I'll carry on
    I've been weighed down for far too long
    Though my hands are made of stone
    And I break everything I see
    They save me from myself
    And they stand by me, stand by me
    Weighed down on the way down
    I need someone to take my hand
    It feels like I can't breathe
    And I might drown on the way down
    I'm sick of all the comedowns
    Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
    I'm weighed down, way down
    I won't be weighed down
    There's too much resting on this
    Never be weighed down
    I'll fucking stand and resist
    Weighed down on the way down
    I need someone to take my hand
    It feels like I can't breathe
    And I might drown on the way down
    I'm sick of all the comedowns
    Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
    I'm weighed down on the way down
    I need someone to take my hand
    I feel like I can't breathe
    And I might drown on the way down
    I'm sick of all the comedowns
    Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
    I'm weighed down, way down

      Hey, after watching this video I felt like there would be someone who had a similar experience and I should say that all the terrible things that happened to you were not your fault. It's all the fault of the people who hurt you. Jesus was abused by so many people too but now he is alive and wants to comfort you and show you love because he knows what it's like. He said "come to me if you are weary and have too many burdens and I will give you rest" and "everyone who calls out for me will be saved [from their pain and the things that cause their pain]"
      He's waiting for you - take a moment and reach out to him.

    They know ...
    Though my hands are made of stone
    And I break everything I say

    I'm weighed down, weighed down
    I fought for chain, fought for you
    I'll take your edge, I'll carry on

    My theory: A drunk man enters a cemetery where he sees a family who has lost their loved one. It reminds him of his dead sister. The man was beaten by his own father, and has all this anger. He goes back to his childhood place and burns it up, but taking the bear with him because it reminded him of his sis. The ghost of the girl followed him 'cause they loved eachother and she stood back because she probably died there..He brings the bear to her Grave as respect.

    I am here to tell you all that there is hope... We can all be free from the hopeless way that we are living. We can all be free, we can all be renewed and live a different life where we have hope knowing that there is somebody out there who cares for us, who is waiting for us to seek him, he is waiting with his arms wide open to set us free! His name is Jesus Christ! I used to be depressed all the time living a very dark life, hopeless, feeling like I didn’t want to be here any longer. I didn’t have a reason to live but I always knew deep inside of me that there was a purpose in life and when I came to God, I prayed one night looking up to the sky and said “God I don’t want to be like this anymore I want to change please help me” that was my prayer.. God heard me because he knew I was broken hearted... mind you, I didn’t believe in God prior to that prayer but he was my last hope. There was nobody around that could help me and I was just feeling weighed down everyday more and more until I came to God.... see we live in a fallen creation because of sin, because of the wicked ways some evil people live but that’s not how God had intended it for us to be... when we are depressed, have anxiety, stress, and living hopeless, we are actually being tormented by demons that are around the air and yes there is a spiritual world among us which we cannot see but satan will try to keep you in chains by having all these demons torment you but we have somebody who can set us feee from all that... We don’t have to live this way anymore... Come to God and see that he is good!! What do we have to lose??.... We are all sinners and I mean everybody.. The Bible says that the wages of sin is DEATH!!! God is giving you a gist today, a gift of salvation... God will not force you to come to him because he gave us free will.. we have to make the decision to take his gift of salvation and eternal life with him in heaven... zCome to God, repent from your sins, ask God to forgive your sins, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
    It says in the Bible that when we come to Christ we are new creatures we are made new
    2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!
    I really hope you guys read all trough this all I am doing is sharing the good news that one day was shared to me and by it I am now set free from my former life now my life has meaning and I have hope, I have joy that nobody can take away because it comes from God... God bless every one of you! 1 COR 15:3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
