American Head Charge - Drowning Under Everything Lyrics






I see your mask
It makes me start to believe
Why do you ask
Because you're prone to deceive

I see your mask
It makes me start to believe
Why do you ask
Because you're prone to deceive

Once I start I won't stop

I want you to really need it so bad
I want you to really need it so bad
I want you to really need it so bad
I want you to really need it so bad
So bad
So bad
So bad

It's just a taste
Spread right across both your lips
It's just a waste
Because your grip always slips

It's just a taste
Spread right across both your lips
It's just a waste
Because your grip always slips

Once I start I won't stop

I want you to really need it so bad
I want you to really need it so bad
I want you to really need it so bad
I want you to really need it so bad

Swimming in desperation
Drowning under everything
Ignore the expectation

I want you to really need it so bad (Ignore the expectation)
I want you to really need it so bad (Ignore the expectation)
I want you to really need it so bad (Ignore the expectation)
I want you to really need it so bad (Ignore the expectation)

Everything (so bad)
Everything (so bad)
Everything (so bad)
Everything (so bad)
Everything (so bad)
Everything (so bad)
Everything (so bad)
Everything (so bad)

    hope you are rocking out in heaven.

  11. I.... S....

    Even the video is awesome!

  12. 4.... ....

    Great video and song but I kept getting distracted by ...that...damn....dirty...fingernail.

  13. p.... a....

    lol I see ppl compare to slipknot and virus of life but that money factory circus sucks, AHC is waaay better.

  14. C.... B....

    Such a sick track, Miss these guys.

  15. K.... ....

    This is a virus a virus of life!!

    K.... ....

    I can only hear it in the intro tbh, but I don't think it was intentional

  16. b.... 1....

    This band is the best! Been listening since high school, now im 34.

  17. J.... A....

    I met the band in 2001 I believe. We played football in the fuel island at a truck stop outside Shreveport LA. They were playing 2nd stage at ozzfest. Hadn't heard of them before that. We hung out on the bus, acted plum stupid in the truck stop. LoL. I still have the CD and shirt they gave me. Invited me to ozzfest to come hang out with them. Freaking awesome guys, awesome band. Fan ever since

    J.... A....

    Damn random. Played a show w em in Shreveport on a Wednesday in a venue that didn't have electricity when we showed up. Ended up being the bomb.

    J.... A....

    One of the reasons AHC was so fucking great their great musicians that really gave their fans something no other band does being human goes a long way in a world of shit.

  18. D.... I....

    This is actually a really good song. I never really gave their newest album a fair shake.

    D.... I....

    just cuz I figured nothing could live up to war of art

  19. D.... K....

    First ave. & 7th St. entry MPLS- SHOUT OUT!!! R.I.P. Chad

  20. D.... F....

    Fala ae galera
    😎😎😎

  21. A.... B....

    Just came across this song again and yet again it’s on repeat 😂

  22. r.... ....

    Dope as hell man! It sucks they weren't well known, one of my top bands. Mushroomhead #1!

  23. P.... L....

    I love you always and forever 💘AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE 💘

  24. M.... ....

    RIP, Chad Hanks, and Brian Ottoson... 'Head Charge won't be the same without either of you.

  25. K.... C....

    This band got me through life. Listening to them for years, finally saw them a couple years ago, and met them. Dream come true. RIP Chad 🖤🖤🖤

    K.... C....

    Minnesota metal, my neck of the woods. Miss when these guys were in their prime, those were good years. They had a really loyal following around here.

    K.... C....

    Me too Kate, had a chance to shake Cameron’s hand and thank him on their last tour. Poor guy was out of it after his show lol, but I bought him a beer and got it off my chest. Felt cathartic af. “Just so you know” and the entire (Art of War) was my anthem for dealing with a million things in my youth.

    K.... C....

    @Illud Divinus great album

    K.... C....

    Damien INSANE-O yeah man, those harmonies and bass lines were ridiculous at the time. And even now have their moments. I only wish Cameron stays around and cleans up his act a bit. So much fucking talent.

  26. A.... ....

    American Head Charge at their best. You are my favourite band of all times and your music saved me countless times. I will always be grateful to all of you guys, I really hope you will be back someday because I miss you.

  27. M.... O....

    I will always wonder why Chad never got splashed with water in this video! Amazing song, amazing album, RIP Chad & AHC. One of my top 10 bands!

  28. s.... ....

    In my humble opinion, the best band to come out of the nu metal wave.

    s.... ....

    @Thholyghst   I saw them in Paris, in 2002 ; Slipknot were after them, and Pantera wasn't here. They were the best that night, so powerful, like a big war machine.

    s.... ....

    I couldn't agree more. It sucked their set got screwed over when they were touring with Slipknot (a long time ago), a dodgy drummers stool, still, I got to see them and that was my only ever gig I've gone to. I love everything they've ever made and hope they can keep going, even after Chad r.i.p. but totally understand if that isn't going to happen.

    s.... ....

    @Paul Gibson I was just showing this band to a friend and just learned about Chad's passing. Does that make two band members who passed away now, am I right?

    s.... ....

    @stonerdemon Yes the guitarist Bryan Ottoson passed away in 2005. Shit sucks. I only found out today that they got back together and released this new album in 2016. I grabbed my copies of The Art of War and The Feeding today to listen to in the car and decided to check wikipedia and was happy to find they released a new album but saddened to hear the band lost another member.

    s.... ....

    I was lucky enough to ride with motograter for a couple stops with these guys. Chad was awesome. Karma was awesome too. Justin was amazing Chris was amazing Ted was amazing and Cameron Heacock was the best. He only spoke one word tho. Lol

  29. N.... K....

    I like it! fukin badass! get the guitarists to go djent it will go with the amazin vocals!

    N.... K....

    What the fuck are you talking about?

  30. \.... \....

    Before I say this, let me set the record straight by saying that this one of my favorite bands of all time. With that being said, this song sounds like a rip-off of Slipknot's Virus of Life.

    \.... \....

    I dont hear it

    \.... \....

    Hmm...agree on the intro dude, but not the rest of the song

  31. J.... M....

    Needs more likes!

  32. A.... H....

    Did these guys call it quits after chad died? RIP CHAD!!!!!

    A.... H....

    no but probably did
    after Cameron got arrested in Cali for theft...

  33. s.... 8....

    This music meant so much to me ... RIP. Thanks

  34. M.... ....

    R.I.P. Chad Hanks

  35. A.... ....

    This song makes me fucking emotional every time. I hope they will continue making music. Rip Chad, it's been amazing meeting you at a bar in Italy in 2014.

  36. C.... F....

    What a voice 😁

  37. P.... G....

    Awesome song, i thought they may have lost it. Awesome album too. Killing joke hey.

  38. T.... A....

    Deepest condolences to the band and R.I.P. Chad Hanks. This is an incredible song and video and I'm so glad we got another album. Seeing AHC in Amityville when they came through was a dream come true, and due to an unfortunately small turn out (fuck Long Island), the show ended up rather intimate and the band seemed to have a lot of fun fucking with each other onstage. At the beginning of All Wrapped Up, Cameron (I believe?) unplugged Chad's bass without him seeing and the resulting laughing and shoving was nothing short of beautiful. Love you guys.

    T.... A....

    First i heard, i'm in shock. Love this song and was relieved to be happy to say this album is awesome. The E.P. turned a few friends off but i stuck with them. Damn. Best wishes all.

  39. S.... O....

    Im so glad i got to share the stage with AHC at the whiskey a go go a couple years ago. Chad and cameron where super chill dudes!

  40. M.... X....

    Rock in Peace Chad!

  41. R.... B....

    Last time i saw this band I told Cameron during a signing that he has one of the most underappreciated voices in the business. This song really shows it off. Great song.

  42. F.... ....

    rip chad hanks...the head charge family misses u dearly

  43. B.... L....

    We miss you Chad!!

  44. S.... -....

    You guys are great, Please hold strong.

  45. J.... W....

    bass died?????

  46. J.... V....

    R.I.P Chad Hanks

  47. R.... E....

    RIP Chad Hanks. Thankfully I had the pleasure of meeting you. Such a great guy. My friend had too much to drink at their show and he got him a water and sat with him showing concern for him as if he was related to him. Thank you for all of the beautiful music over all the years.

  48. M.... B....

    ChadAHCForever❤️❤️❤️

  49. A.... B....

    R.I.P chad hanks.

    R.... ....

    Rilyn666 saddest fucking shit, I'll never be over this...

    R.... ....

    Wait, what's happened?

    R.... ....

    R.... ....

    My dad played many shows with these guys.

    R.... ....

    Fuck Cancer !!

  53. P.... L....

    R.I.P. CHAD HANKS

  54. C.... ....

    Incredibly skilled musicians, often recommend this band to people who like metal and want something unique :)

  55. H.... M....

    Great tune dudes, when you come to the UK get us on a support we'd love that!

  56. A.... J....

    I was trying to figure out what he was working on....but I love how when the water comes his cigarette stays lit :)

  57. D.... S....

    Perfect. More of this please

  58. M.... ....

    Yes! Thank u

  59. S.... F....

    I LOVE HOW THE CHORUS FLOWS WITH ALL THE INSTRUMENTS! I'M SO GLAD I FINALLY GOT TO SEE YOU GUYS IN CONCERT!! HOPEFULLY, THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME! \,,/

  60. M.... ....

    Great song and video \,,/,

  61. a.... s....

    Tremendo tema

  62. a.... ....

    It totally was worth the wait. Awesome!

  63. P.... G....

    You know, i don't think they need the makeup, the hair treatment, but they need to keep existing. Seriously, that break was worrying times. Pardon my opener, joke. AHC are like no other and i wish fate had allowed you to do what you did then, so well before your drummer fell off his seat (Manchester techs was it?). Past, now present, pls keep producing music. When with good health as for any musicians.

  64. W.... C....

    Saw them live last night in Scunthorpe. Sounded epic. Heavy and intense. Seeing live is a must.

  65. S.... R....

    fuck yea glad to see you guys back.

  66. D.... ....

    Tango Umbrella is a fantastic album. American Head Charge go from strength to strength. It might have taken them an awful long time to get 4 albums and an EP out but they're all quality.

    D.... ....

    American Head Charge need to come out with another album

    D.... ....

    @Avery Whitehead They are and they've got the drummer from Hed P.E and another guy to replace Chad

  67. S.... Y....

    I caught a stick from the drummer yesterday

  68. C.... L....

    Awesome!

  69. J.... R....

    Ansioso pra ver esses caras no Brasil ! Sou fã! Banda mais que foda!

  70. J.... I....

    AMERICAN FUCKIN HEAD CHARGE

  71. E.... o....

    I'm loving this track!!!!

  72. M.... R....

    Karma's maniacal stage presence has never been captured in an AHC video. OTEP's "Ghost Flowers" is the only video that captures it. Otherwise this video is great.

    M.... R....

    Mike Ratherson. Loyalty video too

  73. M.... ....

    I saw these guys live last night, it was fucking amazing!

  74. V.... ....

    Love these guys so much

  75. M.... R....

    Absolutely fucking phenomenal! See you on Tuesday in the Bristol Bierkeller! I'll be the one in the center of the pit going absolutely fucking wild!

  82. L.... A....

    Why is Ted not I this video but Chris is....They both equally quit in a shitty way...

    L.... A....

    Lu Ann G Collier Chris was there from the beginning would be my guess.

    L.... A....

    Lu Ann G Collier how did they quit? Is chad gone too now?

    L.... A....

    @muz c Chad passed away

    L.... A....

    you have no idea what its like to play with AHC, they are lucky Chris ever came back in the first place. I know Chris.

  83. k.... ....

    Love it

  84. S.... ....

    Yessssssssssssssssssssssss🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

    N.... R....

    Noah Robertson right? Agreed.

    N.... R....

    One of the best!

  86. k.... k....

    <3 no matter how many years/centuries shall pass us by,you'll always be 1 of my fave all time bands! \M/

  87. D.... K....

    Awesome video guys! Keep it up

  88. J.... V....

    Love it. About time you guys finally released this!

  89. t.... ....

    way to start the day! AHC ... if I love you!!!

  90. J.... C....

    I don't understand the treatment of this vid...

  91. R.... F....

    Funny, I just got done listening to the feeding. A 10/10 album. Not sure I'm into this song. Sounds like too much is going on at once. I like layers, but this doesn't blend well. Maybe with a few more listens

    R.... F....

    WickedlNl I disagree with you about the band killing their career. Getting out of the spotlight enabled them to make much more creative music in my opinion. And with Tango Umbrella and the underrated Shoot EP, the band were able to create something that wasn't influenced by a record label in any way shape or form.

    R.... F....

    Oh I agree on that but what I meant was that they literally went on hiatus for 10 years. When if all went well they could of had who knows how big of a career by now. Im glad they are back, if its one band that should of never left was them but you cant expect the unexpected in life.

    R.... F....

    i agree with the layers

    R.... F....

    Give it a few listens. I didn't like the new album at first, but it grows on you.

    R.... F....

    I was at the release show for war of art. Fucking awesome. More energy than anyone at the time. First Ave was stuffffed

  92. T.... G....

    This is awesome, but I'm confused. Was this recorded before Chris left? No Ted in the video either though, and they quit at the same time. Lol at the water splash and Chad with the cig.. boss.

    T.... G....

    Apparently the video was recorded a year ago or something.

    T.... G....

    Ah, that'd explain it.

    T.... G....

    It was recorded soon after the release. They've been holding on to it for a while. I wouldn't doubt they edited Ted out. They planned on giving him the boot before the original tour was even over according to Cameron.

    T.... G....

    I see, good to know!

    T.... G....

    That looks like Chris in the video so yeah think it's before he left.

  93. F.... ....

    this pleases my ears

  94. S.... D....

    Man! This band just never ceases to amaze me. Love this video!

  95. M.... T....

    What a great surprise! This song kicks major ass!

  96. B.... T....

    I absolutely fucking love it!

  97. W.... ....

    American Head Charge. Bringing Minnesota metal to the masses one amazing fucking song after another. Makes me proud to call MN my home.

    W.... ....

    The music video is also from a MN company (us) with nothing but local crew and talent. Just sayin'.

  98. N.... N....

    🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

  99. D.... C....

    FUCK YES!

  100. J.... B....

    Where is Ted? I see Chris!

    J.... B....

    Jack Brandt this might have been after Ted left.
