All That Remains - Pernicious Lyrics






I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sewn
And still I'm reeling
Mistrust forever more
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still I'm reeling

Done throwing coins in a wishing well
Break, Walls
That you have built yourself

I'm done with all the lies you speak
No, More
Won't turn the other cheek

How could I have ever thought it'd be worth it
You're falling farther, and farther, and farther, and farther apart
How is it you don't know

I'm wise enough to know
These promises pernicious
The fruit of what was sewn
And still I'm reeling
Mistrust forever more
The wake you left is vicious
Your hate can't help but show
And still I'm reeling

I'm growing tired, you manipulate
Your, words
They further aggravate

I drew the line, now will you make a move
Weakness
That's what's inside of you

I am still warm from transgression, aggression
I still feel the sting, can't help but question
And suffer the wrath of conditions created by you

    Holy shit you haters its not the song that’s the problem. You don’t care about meaningful lyrics all you want is AAAAARRHHHGGGG music isn’t about that. It’s about feeling something, and you fuckers obvs don’t feel anything

    Who's the guest female vocalist?

    a.... ....

    +aragorn767 The bassist, Jeanne. Who is now no longer in the band :/

  21. J.... S....

    I got a free signed cd cuz my dads friend knows the lead singer personally. So that's how I found this song.

  22. W.... K....

    Came here because of the Jared Dines contest.

  23. c.... ....

    who else has heard 2:08 - 2:21 like a thousand times already

    c.... ....

    @***** just saying what they said. I do have some of their albums and I'm not a Christian. With them and other bands who have their own beliefs, if the lyrics are open to interpretation and you find a connection with it and apply it to our own personal lives somehow that's a good thing.

    c.... ....

    Joel Kennedy Wage War is amazing they are releasing a new album this Friday

    c.... ....

    That's my favorite part

    c.... ....

    Love the shit out of your solo

    c.... ....

    Best part

  24. S.... H....

    Muchos de los solos de guitarra del concurso de Jared Dines son bastante mejores que el solo original xD

  25. J.... H....

    who is the woman singing on this?

    J.... H....

    +TheInfantFinite666 Ex?! Why did she quit?

    J.... H....

    +SupeHero00 man I was about to ask the same thing. Besides ottie she was the best the band had to offer

    J.... H....

    +Joe Hessey There was no animosity, but Jeanne decided to pursue different avenues other than ATR. She felt it would be in the band's and her best interest.

    J.... H....

    +TheCrazies oh ok. Any idea if she is doing anything else yet? I thought she was a good part of the band but obviously don't know the ins and outs of it all

    J.... H....

    +Joe Hessey not sure. but I do wish her the best. Despite some lackluster years in the bands discography, she definitely was a huge part of the band.

  26. M.... G....

    Boring.

  27. S.... ....

    that moment when jared dines has more subs that a decently popular band's vevo LOL

  28. J.... Z....

    Came here because of the Jared Dines contest.

  29. P.... D....

    I love how melodic this is!

  30. A.... A....

    That breakdown sounds like an exact copy-cat of TDWP's Reptar, King of the Ozone only in a lower tone.

  31. S.... M....

    I don't think JeAnne has that great of vocals /:

  32. B.... ....

    Love these guys, MA in the house !!!!

  33. J.... ....

    ATR need to make more songs like this

  34. A.... W....

    This is my favorite song off of the new album

  35. A.... 1....

    All that remains is my second favioret band.

    A.... 1....

    What is your first favorite

  36. E.... T....

    Best Song on the album!

    E.... T....

    Have you heard fiat empire or divide yet?

  37. K.... ....

    Can't fucking wait to see ATR on April 28,2015 in Tampa Fl. This song is freaking amazing shit and love the new album too.

  38. J.... B....

    AMAZING!!! A bit toned down but AMAZING STILL!!!

  39. T.... V....

    I really like this song and she sings the bass I like deveria get more songs to sing the two and this by that sounds good  Greetings from El Salvador

  40. G.... S....

    hell ya how can you not like this band

  41. T.... ....

    0:56 that delayed vocal thingy sounded stupid af
    but otherwise fucking awesome track

    T.... ....

    @Toddzilla I thought it sounded alright.

    T.... ....

    I thought it was kinda random but didn't change the whole song. It was ok

    T.... ....

    Dude it’s not the song it’s your shitty taste

  42. A.... t....

    I like the new album but how it sounds similar to the previous two even though Phil said that it doesn't. 

    A.... t....

    For We Are Many was way heavier. Lol I like it all but they don't sound similar.

  43. I.... ....

    Love this song ATR!!!

  44. c.... ....

    My favorite song from the album. Not because it has probably the most screaming, but because it has a very ominous tone to it overall. Killer track, and I love Jeanne's voice!

    c.... ....

    No Knock definitely has the most screaming lol

  45. G.... ....

    Just went and got the album today and this song blew my mind. So fucking epic. Good lord. The whole album is great!!

  46. w.... ....

    2nd good song from the album.

  47. k.... o....

    Uh really.

  48. M.... M....

    I just can't get into it. I'm not one of those that's saying they aren't metal enough anymore, because they are. All That Remains are truly talented musicians. To me it's just boring. I bought the album because I have all of ATR's records, So I picked it up from the store, got in my car and instantly put it on. After a few songs in I felt myself wanting to put a different record on. Not because I thought it was bad, because it has some awesome riffs and other parts, but It didn't grab my attention, and if it did, it didn't keep it long. It's awesome to see a band not give in to people who call them shit and create what they want to create. Its a solid album, and like this song shows, there is plenty of heaviness left from ATR, I just can't get into it. Maybe if I listen to it more it'll grow on me, but right now I just can't get into it.

    M.... M....

    uh, mom jokes. I thought they ceased to exist, but apparently stupid people still do them. Il try to be much clever and clear as possible: both clear vocals and screams/growls are good. Clean vocals are more appropriate on a certain type of song (an entire song or just a piece), and the same reasoning goes for growls and screams. You cannot substitute the growls in This Darkened Heart with Clean Vocals, while you cannot replace the Clean Vocals in Not Alone (or just every other song from the fall of ideals with clean vocals) with screams. And also, if you criticise clean vocals because "they are too soft" you are in the same shit pile of those who say growls suck because "they're too heavy and satanic". Just stop bitching about cleans and growls, they are both good. ATR changed style, deal with it.

    M.... M....

    I put the "/" between screams and growls to say they are different. The fact is that you cannot criticise a METALCORE band for too much clean vocals, it's one of the main things of this metal genre. I don't believe you would criticise an Heavy Metal band like Metallica because they don't do growls or screams, it would have no sense since those vocals are not part of the heavy metal. Metalcore is one of the most "clean" genres of metal, actually. If you listen to the album "This Darkened Heart", they RARELY use clean vocals, and guess what, ATR was still considered a Melodic Death Metal band when they released that album. They began to be Metalcore when they released The fall of ideals.


    You felt betrayed because they changed their style A LOT, but trust me, it's a good thing. They are a metal band since 15 years, they changed their music tastes, they cannot make a song they don't actually like. Even your music tastes will change, sooner or later, everyone does as time goes by.

    M.... M....

    Khristian Bolano So true

    M.... M....

    Have you heard the newest album "Victim of the new disease" In my opinion that album is the best in quite a long time, Heavy and Awesome!

    M.... M....

    Losing Olie changed their sound dramatically.

  49. D.... ....

    Awesome album, picked it up day one and been very content with the songs. Much better than a war you cannot win!

  50. A.... P....

    Uma das melhores músicas do álbum, sem dúvidas ;)

  51. H.... ....

    Was not expecting that! Damn why is this the first time they've had Jeane sing? (im assuming that was her?)

  52. J.... C....

    This song is absolutely incredible
    Phils cleans, screams, the breakdown, the guitar solo and Jeanne cleans for the first time
    And people hate the entire album based on the first two songs they released xD

    J.... C....

    No Knock was good. This Probably Won't End Well was the best. Tru-klvt-Metal was okay. Pernicious and This Probably Won't End well are the stand outs so far. And I'm a fan of The Fall Of Ideals

    J.... C....

    @John Staus I'm a fan of all their albums. For me its like this:
    1. This Darkened Heart
    2. ...For We Are Many
    T-3. The Order of Things
    T-3. The Fall of Ideals
    5. Overcome
    6. Behind Silence and Solitude
    7. A War You Cannot Win

    And for this album. Its like this:
    1. Pernicious
    2. A Reason For Me To Fight
    3. Criticism and Self-Realization
    4. Victory Lap
    5. Fiat Empire
    6. Tru-Kvlt-Metal
    7. The Greatest Generation
    8. This Probably Won't End Well
    9. Divide
    10. For You
    11. No Knock
    12. Bite My Tongue

    Yeah, I have a pretty varied taste in ATR.
    AWYCW may be my least favorite album, but I still give it an 85/100, a solid B. My top 5 favorite songs in the ATR discography are:
    1. Indictment
    2. The Waiting One
    3. We Stand
    4. Passion and This Darkened Heart
    5. Pernicious

    J.... C....

    @Evil Toad nice choices, Evil Toad. But I think the album list should go like this


    1. For We Are Many
    2. Overcome
    3. The Order Of Things
    4.The Fall Of Ideals
    T-5. Behind Silence and Solitude
    T-5. This Darkened Heart
    7. A War You Cannot Win


    For We Are Many and Overcome first introduced me to metalcore and have a very special place in my heart, and The Order of Things to me had the perfect combination of screaming and clean vocals. This song is a great example. And I think we can all agree that AWYCW wasn't really ATR's best effort. It wasn't a bad record in the slightest but the instrumentals and vocals weren't up to the quality of the other records in my opinion. But all of this is subjective so it really doesn't matter what i say to change another person's opinion.

  53. S.... S....

    Love these guys!!!

  54. M.... F....

    Can't wait to listen to this song with my sub

  55. E.... S....

    honestly might be my favorite album by them. the solos are insane, Jeanne sings a lot, the songs are overall awesome, always impressed by the drums.

    E.... S....

    yeah I agree. this album is so good probably is my favorite. i followed Autotune That Remains from the beginning and am lovin this metal... \m/ (>_<) \m/

    E.... S....

    Its definitely ine of my favorites... But i can never decide. I have many favorite all that remains albums simply because its all that remains. I dont know what it is about them, but im hooked for good. Probably my favorite band at that. Their sound, style, and what they write about is like the story of my life!

  56. I.... R....

    Getting a huge Candiria What Doesn't Kill You vibe.

  57. A.... D....

    Awesome song it has a cool vibe!! It reminds me of "we stand"

    A.... D....

    I hear it too!
    We Stand has a special place in my heart. Its the song that introduced me to All That Remains.

  58. J.... P....

    I want her to sing more

    J.... P....

    agreed!

    J.... P....

    +Joey Peterson But she is not longer part of the band :/

  59. R.... G....

    Fav song so far, waiting to get a hard copy hope this album goes platinum

    R.... G....

    @Brian Taylor hail to the king was horrible lmao. This means war was the only good song on there. The rest was shit. All That Remains though. Every single album has been great.

    R.... G....

    @Guitarplayer1469 All a matter of opinion man. I think Hail to the King is a masterpiece. I really appreciate what A7X does for metal in this day and age. This Means War is probably my least favorite of HTTK.

    R.... G....

    @Guitarplayer1469 i know its your opinion but to say sheperd of fire, st james, coming home, heretic, requiem, crimson day are shit songs is baffling.

    R.... G....

    @Brian Taylor I enjoyed HTTK for the first little bit after its release. Ask me now? I hate it. It just got worse and worse every time I listened to it. Planets is the only song I can still somewhat get into on that album

    R.... G....

    +Guitarplayer1469 This Means War was literally Sad But True by Metallica

  60. K.... B....

    2:08 Jeanne! She has an amazing voice!

    K.... B....

    she left the band

    K.... B....

    AvengedSevenfold9000 I love her voice

    K.... B....

    Lateralus name of band?

    K.... B....

    John Staus trust me, Phil does all the screams and can still scream better than almost any vocalist today.

    K.... B....

    Lateralus to bad they fell off the face of the earth 😂 she’ll never be in another band as big as ATR

  61. S.... ....

    Is anyone here for the music or just to say fucking 'first'? No one cares lol

    S.... ....

    You just showed that you care

    S.... ....
