Acceptance - Diagram Of A Simple Man Lyrics






Put on my nametag
Stare in the mirror
Give me some answers
Make it clearer now
And then I'm in my head

As the sun is getting older
While the clock is counting over
Am I more than this?

We get caught up between the sea and the sky
Give me that look in, that look in your eye
We live in black and white
We dream in color

Met a stranger near my station
Says you're alright
Take a vacation
The things to see before I'm dead

As the air is getting colder
While the years are turning over
Where will I exist?

We get caught up between the sea and the sky
Give me that look in, that look in your eye
We live in black and white
We dream in color

We dream in color
And we live in black and white

We get caught up between the sea and the sky
We get caught up between the sea and the sky
Give me that look in, that look in your eye
We live in black and white
We dream in color

We dream, we dream in color
And we live in black and white
We dream, we dream in color
And we live in black and white

    June 2019

  2. A.... `....

    "Acceptance - Different" <- this song right here took euphoria levels to another dimension. That's how I found this band back in 2006.
    " We live in Black and White,
    We Dream In Color." <3

  3. C.... ....

    I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET BACK TOGETHER! And im just finding out now they did!?!? God im a young teenager again... wow..

  4. D.... S....

    “We live in black and white, but we dream in color”. Jesus Christ.

  5. Z.... S....

    😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  6. J.... J....

    This song is so perfect. But this lyric video... lol. It’s like some kid in a film editing class offered to make them this for his midterm project.

  7. f.... ....

    Is a very nice song men yeah.

  8. H.... ....

    I started listening to these guys when they first came out and then found out they weren't making anything. I actually cried because they were my favorite band for years. Jason's voice calmed me down when I had anxiety attacks. I'm so incredibly happy right now. I had no idea they had new stuff out. ❤

  9. F.... D....

    YOU GUYS ARE BACK!!!!!!

  10. u.... ....

    well this was a suprise.. a good one ofcourse c:

  11. R.... M....

    something from rise that isnt horribly generic??

  12. B.... ....

    I just now saw that they released a new album in February THEY HAD BROKEN UP AND NOW THEY'RE BACK FUCK ME UPPPPPP

  13. D.... S....

    welcome back big.rock.money

  14. C.... ....

    Welcome back boys! Fantastic record.

  15. L.... B....

    THEY ARE BACK. YES.

  16. A.... T....

    They sound /so/ different from Phantoms but to be honest, just the fact that they're back together warms my heart beyond possible. I know I will love this new album.

  17. G.... b....

    Amazing song!

  18. A.... ....

    It's outstanding. It's so amazing that they came back together, please be here now to stay. Hope this record gives the band finally the push that they deserve. Thank you Rise Records!!!

  19. J.... L....

    Not what I was expecting at all, acceptance used to stand apart to me. Either they were so revolutionary that everyone caught on and bit the style in their absence, or this is the same formulaic radio white noise that anyone seems to make anymore.

    I'm not a "remake the first album or I'm not happy " guy at all, just still super confused at what I just heard and disheartened at the lack of the human element or creativity felt. Oh well, STILL WAY BETTER THAN THE NEW FROM FIRST TO LAST SONG

  20. R.... ....

    wooooooo keep it up guys, i missed the amazing songs!!!!!!! thank you atv off road fury 🙏

  21. H.... s....

    if they shoot a video, a guy in the car.

  22. M.... ....

    this small part of life, it calls happiness :'c

  23. J.... S....

    Has good vibes tho

  24. A.... J....

    SOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS ALBUM!!

  25. t.... ....

    Acceptance is still a thing? well that's exciting news. Good stuff

    Merci Marco, toujours au top, je te souhaite une Merveilleuse année 2017
    Ah que Viva La Musica.

  31. D.... C....

    remember phantom song release days on purevolume. excited for the first time, in a long time about a new release. =]

  32. R.... ....

    I was in college ten years ago. My best friend went to Greenville college, and saw you guys play. I picked up Phantoms back then, and it was such a terrific album. I still play the album from time to time.

    Just preordered the new stuff!

  33. A.... H....

    YESSSSSSSS, not only back , but back with a vengence! i love you acceptance

    YES ACCEPTANCE IS BACK!!! AND THEY'RE ONE RISE RECORDS YES!!!!

  36. T.... ....

    Anyone else here from Seth's Twitter?

  37. S.... ....

    Fcking FINALLY he quit selling cars and came back to what hes REALLY good at. honestly though i had doubts that this was legit THE acceptance until i clicked it. as im sure every other OG acceptance fan did lol. but. i missed his voicee. i miss his faaace. uggghh. ACCEPTANCE IS BACK <333 i hope they get much more recognition than before. they deserve it. and they need it so they dont leave again fckk. ill die. again.

  38. R.... F....

    I love this song! It makes me feel so good. I really love it

  39. K.... M....

    more like coldplay 😁😁😁

    K.... M....

    Know what you mean. The ambience of the music and reverb vox

    K.... M....

    better than.

  40. t.... ....

    I remember thinking to myself how it was a shame a band of their caliber had disbanded after one official album release. I had never expected them to write another song together again. Though it's been a decade since, their sound still brings me back to my 14 year old self.

  41. B.... M....

    I remember their "In Too Far" track from the NFL Street 2 OST and whenever it played in the background of the game I would always bob my head lol. Ahh I miss 2005...

    B.... M....

    Bengal Music Sane NFL Street 2 is how I found out about Acceptance

  42. I.... P....

    Thank you, ATV Offroad Fury for introducing me to Acceptance. I loved Permanent, So Contagious and Different. I am extremely glad Acceptance is back. BAYBYYYYYY

  43. l.... b....

    a e s t h e t i c

  44. T.... T....

    if this isn't used in the next feel good movie of the season to leave the audience hopeful by the end of 2017 people in marketing have failed.

  45. S.... P....

    yesss!!!!

  46. R.... A....

    these lyrics suck

  47. S.... S....

    I think this song is really poorly written. A bad song, bad effort.

  48. d.... ....

    Listening to them again its like im returning back to glory years of 2006-2007
    Thanks for the comeback guys!

  49. E.... ....

    Never heard of these guys , but I can't stop listing to this song, its so good. I've managed to get my friends hooked too. I'm going to listen to their other stuff.

  50. C.... G....

    Fans de Latinoamerica reportense :D que les parecio?

  51. G.... M....

    I like this music

  52. k.... ....

    ehhh, this is pretty generic. I miss the old acceptance.

  53. J.... S....

    Jason Vena could sing a Terms & Conditions Agreement to me and I'd be all in.

  54. A.... S....

    I'm really happy for Christian.He took the break up of Anberlin really hard,he wanted to keep it going.Glad he's in a band still making music.

  55. J.... E....

    I loved the old Acceptance sound, but I dig this too. It kind of sounds like a rockin version of Coldplay if you ask me

    J.... E....

    Or The Killers. I don't think this band can write a bad song.

  56. W.... L....

    Amo tanto Acceptance voltou era com um sonho 🤗❤❤

    W.... L....

    Hay mujeres segudoras de acceptance que hablen español? Dios eres la primera que encuentro felizidades porque te guste la mejor banda del mundo

    W.... L....

    poucas são as bandas que conheço que ainda tocam rock desse jeito meio solto, anos 2000 que parecem fantasia

  57. N.... s....

    holy fuck theyre back!!

  58. R.... _....

    Loved it before the vocals even kicked in.

  59. I.... M....

    reminds me of 30 seconds to mars? (': im in love again jfc I need help

    I.... M....

    Imelda Martinez yeah, sounds like City of Angels

  60. b.... l....

    Seth brought me here

  61. W.... A....

    I dig the lyrics but I was expecting something else as far as the rest of the song goes. Perhaps i'm just living in the past.

    W.... A....

    You're not alone.

  62. B.... L....

    WHAT WHAT WHAT!?!?!?!??!?! ACCEPTANCE!? I THOUGHT THEY DISBANDED OR SOMETHING... ARE THEY BACK!?!=?%180#136780=!#130

  63. E.... N....

    that black and white verse reminded me of what another band said

    E.... N....

    "We're colourblind from the black and white"
    -Hands Like Houses

  64. A.... M....

    I missed this band so much. im so glad they're back

  65. E.... B....

    It feels like just a little while ago that I was sitting around thinking that we'll never get more music from these guys. But here they are. I'm incredibly thankful that Acceptance is a thing again.

  66. t.... g....

    Great visuals!

  67. V.... ....

    Seth Freakin Rollins

    V.... ....

    Seth Rollins likes Acceptance?

  68. K.... ....

    first song I heard from them was permanent from that atv game. loved them ever since. miss these guys. great song!

  69. J.... F....

    coldplay but WAY better

  70. s.... g....

    i freaking love it

  71. C.... H....

    new band to get stuck to hearing everyday xD

  72. s.... y....

    I love rise records

  73. C.... P....

    Beautiful

  74. B.... W....

    Lol at all the people that have no idea how big this is. Acceptance IS BACK!

    B.... W....

    Ben Wilson I was thinking the same thing ... this is amazing ! I never thought it would happen tbh

    B.... W....

    Ben Wilson Acceptance Is Back? Are you saying I left? When did God ever go anywhere?

  75. J.... ....

    For people that want to know what this band is or who they are...
    Acceptance is a band based in Seattle, Washington, and just got back together this year after their initial break up in 2006. They made one studio album named Phantoms( it is up on YouTube in a video playlist). Their new sound is a bit more alternative compared to their previous works, so you can check them out how they sounded before this. (I still love their music now, even if it does sound different from before)

    J.... ....

    thanks!!

  76. A.... A....

    Damn, really love the alt rock sound!

  77. H.... ....

    I love rise records

  78. J.... N....

    I played "Phantoms" so much I thought I was going to wear the polycarbonate layer off of the CD. Once these guys broke up it felt like I'd never hear anything from them again and I was extremely bummed about it. So pumped to know they're back and in form!

    J.... N....

    I was gutted I didn't get to see them live (living over the other side of the world). Now they're back together and touring which is amazing.

  79. A.... G....

    Loved their music back in the day and love this now

  80. K.... Y....

    Ehhh not sure how I feel about it. Also video has got some illuminati vibes in it. Also typography is annoying. Song seems generic...

  81. Y.... ....

    So happy that acceptance is back!!! If you're new to them listen to different by them. Life changing song!

  82. M.... B....

    Them signing to Rise is surprising to me. Like, when I saw the name of the video I was like, "Maybe this is a different Acceptance?"

  83. S.... ....

    Ten seconds in and I'm dissapointed. Thanks again, rise records, for more mediocre generic rise style poppy crap.

    S.... ....

    SkullObsessed69 dude you don't even know the history of this band they recently got back together listen to their song permanent for an idea of what they used to sound like. They were great and now their sound has matured since they're 10 years older now

  84. N.... 1....

    oh my fucking god. I've missed this band

    N.... 1....

    Nova 142 permanent is my favorite song by the.

  85. P.... M....

    Is this a new band?

    P.... M....

    Phersephone McKenzie Nope, they broke up around 2006 and I guess they're back!

  86. B.... ....

    Why have I never heard this band before? It is soooo good!

    B.... ....

    Bofinkenn They debuted a very long time ago. The band made one studio album, then broke up. This was over 10 years ago, and they got back together this year.

    B.... ....

    I see :) Was just 15 at the time then. But always listened to this kind of music :)

    B.... ....

    Legit Spotify is recommending me some good bands. I found some good bands that does covers. This band ended up on a radio station and I enjoyed it.

  87. w.... ....

    Could your Illuminati All Seeing Eye thumbnail be anymore obvious like shit? You guys don't hide it anymore. And people still think it's not real haha what a joke. -_-

  88. A.... S....

    And now I'm gonna reply this all week !

  89. j.... ....

    Visuals complement the song nicely, that typography is an eyesore though.

  90. J.... A....

    I remember listening to Phantoms from start to finish when I was 14. I was blown away by the aesthetic of music this band presented and will never forget how speechless I was when it came to hearing their songs. Somewhere along the way, I had hope that someday this band would come back - a renewed version of themselves. This song is just perfect. Never thought I'd see the day where one of my favourite bands would come back post-breakup. Thank you, Acceptance and thanks Rise Records for picking up this talented bunch <3

    J.... A....

    Their greatest album without a doubt

  91. L.... T....

    why does it feel like the vocalist sounds like the vocalist from Simple Plan ??? or is it just me ?

    L.... T....

    Limi Thonger is just you :p

    L.... T....

    tenesajuancruzenyb lol 😂 great

    L.... T....

    Limi Thonger this guy is an mother level way better then the dude from simple plan no hate tho

  92. h.... ....

  95. R.... d....
