American Head Charge - Perfectionist Lyrics






Misled by the minutes.
Left lacking in every tone.
A distraction from truth.
Hanging above your head.

Misleading every minute.
Distractions from truth.
Stripped off of all the panic.
Leaves me brightly blinded.

I can't!
Resist!
Throwing it all away!

No chains can change his words.
His good side is flesh.
No masks to protect faces.
So, what's your motivation?

I can't!
Resist!
Throwing it all away!

It doesn't matter anyway.
These words have fallen on deaf ears.
I don't do it for approval.
I do it so I can stand me.

Outlast the opposition.
Your grand prize is 'silence'.

I can't!
Resist!
Throwing it all away!

It doesn't matter anyway.
These words have fallen on deaf ears.
I don't do it for approval.
I do it so I can stand me.

It doesn't matter anyway (it doesn't matter).
These words have fallen on deaf ears (fallen away).
I don't do it for approval (you don't like me).
I do it so I can stand me.

Welcome. There's no. Turning. Back now.
There will. Be no. Happy. Ending.

Welcome (welcome). There's no (there's no). Turning (turning) Back now (back now).
There will (there will). Be no (be no). Happy (happy). Ending (ending).
There will (there will). Be no (be no). Happy (happy). Ending (ending).
There will (there will). Be no (be no). Happy. (Ending).

American Head Charge Perfectionist Comments
  1. E.... ....

    Not their absolute best work, but I do agree this is overall a return to form from their glory days, and I LOVE the way the song fades out at the end.  Chilling.  If the middle didn't meander so much, this could have been top-notch.

  2. c.... l....

    the vocals dont really go with the song that great, is it just me?

  3. y.... j....

    cooool!

  4. V.... ....

    Man I LOVE this band!!

  5. s.... k....

    BRILLIANT album. Horribly mixed.

  6. s.... 8....

    thank you for making music, has meant a lot to my life.

  7. s.... 8....

    ist. ist. issssstttta!

  8. E.... B....

    Finally new stuff that reminds me of the war of art. This makes me happy...

  9. M.... ....

    It's always hard for me to find music I like, and this is good, but if this came out 10 years ago I'd love it even more. I've always loved AHC but my tastes have moved on a lot since The War of Art came out. Still, great to see them back as they were always underrated.

  10. C.... O....

    Glad to hear you guys are sounding like your old selves again, that Shoot EP had me worried.

  11. J.... W....

    Definitely agree with the mix needing improvement. I know these guys were trying to get money to go back into the studio via donation or whatever but regardless, this mix feels a little off. i feel like alot of the songs on this album have alot of the same "sludge" factor in the riffs and certain parts of the songs. I know "sludge" may not be the right word, but alot of the songs have the same feel. Just my 2 cents.

  12. B.... ....

    I went in having no idea what it was going to be like. Was not disappointed.

  13. C.... S....

    Epically brutal!!

  14. m.... ....

    minute 304 ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh fucking sick!! heavy as hell

  15. A.... C....

    Is the whole album like this? I was a huge fan of The Feeding, although I've never really heard any of their other albums, but not really digging this song personally. Are there other tracks that are better?

  16. J.... O....

    This is so fucking good. I haven't even been listening to that many new rock bands these days as it's tiring trying to find new stuff that is actually good. This could be AHCs best album to date, super stoked!

  17. D.... D....

    The new CD is wonderful. You guys did good.

  18. R.... ....

    fucking yes. so excited for the new album.

  19. G.... G....

    malisimo

  20. c.... ....

    looking forward to the album

  21. M.... F....

    JEAHHH!!! AHC IS BACK!!! I truly love that sound, but why did we all have to wait this whole fuckin decade?!? However, i am very glad they are back now.

  22. L.... G....

    TANGO UMBRELLA - March 25th

  23. C.... D....

    f'yeah!!!

  24. G.... ....

    Been far to long! cannot wait!

  25. E.... D....

    <33 fuckin' sick!

  26. J.... M....

    I love the fact that these guys are still out there, morphing and growing, and making fucking awesome music. I've been a fan since their inception. Good GOD this is the kind of stuff from which real Metal is made.

    If nobody has seen AHC live...do it.

  27. T.... S....

    See you in Denver!!!

  28. m.... c....

    They was in Poland with Slipknot in 2002!

    m.... c....

    +Zagrajmy z Misię :D i was there :D

    m.... c....

    @Made in Error
    my cousin and me was here too. He was 20, and I was 16

  29. N.... H....

    I have been waiting so long for some new American Head charge

  30. B.... C....

    I am so hype their back

  31. P.... ....

    So much better than the EP they brought out I got genuinely excited about.

  32. T.... N....

    I can't stop listening to this. Tonic for the ears

  33. A.... L....

    Fully charged, can't believe I never heard them till today!

  34. R.... B....

    so refreshing to hear these guys with new stuff. their old stuff was great as well. happy to see these guys bringin the pain

  35. T.... N....

    Amazing!

  36. R.... W....

    yessssssss

  37. t.... ....

    Can't wait to see them back in action and touring with Motograter of bands. Two of the best.

  38. l.... b....

    Very catchy chorus and I love the mood change in the second half! Definitely some mixing problems though. Either that or the raw stems weren't much for Fortman to work with. Guitars sound shit and the samples aren't cutting through very well. Can't wait for the album!!!

  39. c.... ....

    Not my genre, but this band is going in the right direction. They have a good sound.

    c.... ....

    they've been in the right direction since the war of art.

  40. m.... ....

    First ban d I have ever seen live at the Pledge of Allegiance tour in Portland ME. Awesome band. Very unique.

    m.... ....

    +metaleer1979x very underrated as well. I hope the best of this band

  41. m.... s....

    fucking. awesome!

  42. q.... b....

    did they get a new vocalist?

    q.... b....

    No, it's still Cameron.

    q.... b....

    +Boot There's a lot of voice alteration going on in the songs. I couldn't tell at first until he gets to the chorus.

  43. L.... W....

    those guys were one of my fav back in the day
    really happy to see them back again

  44. L.... L....

    Chorus sounds like Glassjaw!

  45. V.... s....

    Holy hell they are back!!!!

  46. T.... D....

    Who the fuck disliked this? Please have a word with yourselves.

  47. d.... ....

    i thought american headcharge stopped making music

    nice to hear them again after all these years

  48. C.... ....

    As always amazing work.

  49. O.... ....

    This needs a re-mix - the sound is killer, but it's mixed wrong, somehow. I can't point it out. It sounds like the Trepanation-album - and personally, i liked the WOA and Loyalty album way more :-)

    O.... ....

    I know what you mean. Death Magnetic by Metallica has the same exact problem.

    O.... ....

    +OldZam Yeah the mix really isn't that great. I think they would have benefited from more time in the studio though, laying down the raw stems 100%. Still . . . . it's good enough :)

    O.... ....

    that's because you are a perfectionist!  nothing will ever be good enough for you.

    O.... ....

    and what is the name of your latest album? I want to hear it.

  50. R.... C....

    I just soiled myself :)

  51. S.... T....

    pretty low audio quality on this upload, but a friend told me that it's just the record label upload quality...glad to see there really was something in the works during the 3 year silence!

  52. S.... F....

    Sounds killer on my home system. Phone no justice

  53. F.... G....

    sounds amazing.

  54. M.... M....

    Fantastic song!!!!! Holy shit.

  55. N.... C....

    second thumbs down

  56. D.... M....

    ...and the vocals are too low in the mix. Great...

    D.... M....

    I like that, getting caught up in the song, the feel of it. Has a live feel to it which I also love...

  57. S.... S....

    KILLER SOUND!!!

  58. A.... ....

    Fucking awesome! ;)

    A.... ....

    So very stoked!!

    A.... ....

    +AHCDeathSquad I like you comeback the Scene

  59. R.... ....

    Nice song :)

  60. S.... ....

    amazing shit !

  61. M.... R....

    The boys are fucking back!

    M.... R....

    yeah in studio. but live they are a drugged out mess.

    M.... R....

    They were fucking awesome at download festival 2015...One of the best live performances I've seen!

  62. T.... D....

    New Head Charge continues to blow my mind! Fucking love the new music and can't wait for the album to come out. \m/

  63. T.... T....

    I freaking love the new songs so far.. Reminds me of The War of Art which was one of the best alternative metal albums ever created.

    T.... T....

    Indeed. The war of art was a masterpiece.

  64. V.... ....

    Very very good! Roots! Néo Métal like i want to hear! Thanks

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

    Gonna take a while to get into this one, very unorthodox lyric placement on the two new songs.
