Asking Alexandria - The Match Lyrics






Gather round my friends
I need a match and only one match
I think it's time I make my own way
I'm turning my back on this city and I'm not looking back
You'll never hear my name without your chest in flames

I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes

Run
Get up, get up
Get on your fucking feet
Get up, get up
Get on your fucking feet

(Get up, get up)
(Get up, get up)
Get up!

I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes

Follow me now I could use some company
Bring your friends and we'll burn the city to the ground

Follow me now I could use some company
Bring your friends and we'll burn this city to the fucking ground

Burn their temples [x2]

The fires fill the skies as the smoke fills my lungs
What a beautiful notion
A single action brings this city to motion

You all deserve to die!

  37. D.... K....

    Headbanging while doing homework. Great combo!
    That's why I can't read the words I typed on my essay :D

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

    Saudades, seus filhos das putas :'

  39. D.... M....

    vão no meu canal vs vão gostar muito

  40. S.... !....

    Still the best AA era and album

    S.... !....

    Brandon Garcia Brandon Garcia The first one may have had better cleans (arguably), but this album was better in every other aspect, literally. Heavier, better growls/mids/highs, better production, ect. Joey Strugis even admitted that this was his best work. Stand Up has nostalgia going for it.

    S.... !....

    Brandon Gravitt I guess you make a point, my personal feelings about the first one got me lol, but yeah you right.

    S.... !....

    I agree

    S.... !....

    @Brandon Garcia this one was better than the first one, but I really like stand up and scream tho

    S.... !....

    @Muhammad Alif Fauzan it never stops being amazing

  41. P.... G....

    the song makes me feel good

  42. g.... b....

    Geovanna Toshino né kkkkkk

    g.... b....

    Saudade de quando o Asking tinha essa vibe aí...
    Depois desse album, só decadência...

  43. M.... D....

    I have listened to a shit ton of music in my days but this fucking band is the only one to consistently give me goosebumps. Only band to do that anyways nowadays

  44. M.... D....

    Whose listening in 2008

  45. D.... ....

    madelfakelllllll

  46. J.... S....

    Awesome song, best on the album.

  47. D.... M....

    Still trying to figure specifically what this song is about lol

    D.... M....

    setting a town on fire

    D.... M....

    @KingOfaMillionMoons Sounds a little more than that, they only made one reference to that

  48. A.... o....

    I'm the only girl who likes AA??

    A.... o....

    @BQADDeftones Oh, I think he has a bad vocabulary :/

    A.... o....

    50% of the fanbase is emo fangirls so nope, not really. Even if that half is the most obnoxious half.

    A.... o....

    i'm not emo Hahhaha

    A.... o....

    LOVE AA!!!! YOU'RE NOT ALONE!

    A.... o....

    Queen Ann Far from the only girl, my ex girlfriend got me into asking alexandria 😂

  49. t.... m....

    The best of Asking Alexandria in mY opinion

  50. B.... D....

    This album is so fucking perfect. The songs have such great flow to them... 😞

    B.... D....

    flows***

    B.... D....

    +Brianna DiPietro no its flow

  51. B.... D....

    This album is so fucking perfect. The songs have such great flow to them... 😞

  52. M.... ....

    This song is about a guy who's blacked out drunk at a soccer match.

  53. i.... ....

    Why have they never played this live?

    i.... ....

    I found out recently that they have played this live one time and said "we just never got a feel for the song".

    i.... ....

    I remember someone in Twitter asked James (bass) why the dont play "The Match" live, and he jokingly answered "Because there's a rumor that if we do, the whole place will catch on fire" :P (get it? Cause match, fire, lol). True story

    i.... ....

    Tanner Fry Oops, mistake. Take the drumsticks out of your ass now, you know, make some room for the new year to enter and all

    i.... ....

    Stone Lee do you know if there's a video of them playing it?

    i.... ....

    Nightrunner year late response but no video unfortunately. To be clear, when I met Danny I asked why this was never played and he said they played it once and the crowd didn’t react to it and they never got a feel for it

  54. M.... T....

    ♡♡♡♡

  55. R.... T....

    idk how you guys listen to this but to each their own

    R.... T....

    +Steven Nunnery bro btw love the positive attitude I'm guessing you've already killed yourself seeing your listening to this hardcore emo fuck music (no offense to the cools guys that have a brain)

    R.... T....

    +Lamen Russ I like FAT COCK!!!!!!!

    R.... T....

    Ill miss dAnny ...

    Z.... Z....

    @Zazukiel Z Who won't? He was amazing

    Z.... Z....

    +Zazukiel Z I don't miss him. He made his choice. Denis is doing a good job and I think he is better that Danny.

    Z.... Z....

    +Zazukiel Z Same buddy..

    Z.... Z....

    +Zazukiel Z Denis is sheep. I saw an interview where he just talked about getting fucked up and then waking up with random tattoos. He's just posing as a badass. Danny was badass.

    Z.... Z....

    +Tom Faron Guess you could really say Danny was really reckless and relentless ;)

  70. T.... M....

    someone send me a link to atleast ONE live video of this song... I can't find one and I really really really love this song pretty please! :'( I suck suck

  71. M.... W....

    This song is very fucking awesome

  72. L.... C....

    3:00 a 3:45 es Mi Parte Favorita♥

  73. m.... i....

    0:32 love that part when the tempo went down from 180bpm to 140bpm

    m.... i....

    Jerson Prince *180 to 60 bpm. and they literally do that in every somg from the first two records

  74. A.... H....

    the most surprising thing about that song is they didn't went 10-10-10 from 00-00-00 LOL in 0:39

    btw really good song!

    A.... H....

    @Arda Hocic true story heuheue

  75. C.... D....

    You all deserve to die!

    Gives me chills

    C.... D....

    I love you

  76. R.... P....

  78. E.... D....

    I love the part from 0:00 to 4:24

    E.... D....

    @Garrett nah m8 its more like 0:02 to 4:24

    E.... D....

    Me too jaja

    E.... D....

    Emo DoesMc kkkk love you desde 2011

    E.... D....

    Emo DoesMc askin.......

    E.... D....

    @TJ Y3N0R but more like 0:00 to 4:20

  79. d.... ....

    That Last Breakdown is by far the heaviest and meanest I've ever heard!!! MY GOSH!!!! 3:00

    d.... ....

    Listen to shadow of eternal sin by thy art is murder.. They have better and meaner breakdowns

  80. a.... f....

    Fuck, the intro makes my hair stand.

  81. N.... R....

    I love Asking Alexandria so much and this is such a good song but oh my god this is the creepiest song. It's all creepy for the breakdown because it sounds like a horror film chase scene!!!! Hahaha this is an amazing song tho! It just creeps me out a bit! I wouldn't like waking up in the middle of the night to the breakdown!!! It's frickkin creepy!

  82. O.... ....

    Nice!!!

  83. t.... ....

    Dat electronic breakdown tho

  84. T.... ....

    2:06 is like the best guitar like. Ever
    And u people who are talking shit about AA, why in the hell are you taking the time to comment. If you hate it why don't you go get your ass off of the god damned video then. Known fact haters have a weird obsession with what they hate

    T.... ....

    Wicked, awesome band, but they're guitar riffs are far from complex. Something doesn't have to be mind meltingly difficult to sound awesome, hence why breakdowns are so popular. You want the best guitar ever, listen to Nile.

    T.... ....

    Do you want complex riffs? Listen to anything but AA or metalcore in general. Go to Children of Bodom, Slayer, Megadeth (even though their most famous riff is ridiculously simple), or any prog metal/technical death metal band.

    T.... ....

    Pure Kek Trash what are you on about? There's plenty of metal ore bands that have quite technical instrumentation, they may be a fusion of it and another genre but still metalcore. I'll agree nothing compares to children of bodom, not many bands have someone as incredible as Alexi haha!

    T.... ....

    TheIrisWolf Because everyone is entitled to their opinion and the comment bar literally says : Share your thoughts. So u can post about likin or disliking the song

    T.... ....

    TheIrisWolf i mean its a sick riff cause of the drums but that isnt that hard to play or create

  85. M.... ....

    I'll make my own mistakes
    Even though I never learn
    I'm running from myself
    If only you could see behind my eyes

  86. t.... ....

    I've had this album for such a long time but would never listen to this song... Idk why its amazing!

  87. K.... ....

    Have this album on my iPod Cx

  88. b.... j....

    AA is post hardcore right?

  89. B.... ....

    I think he doesn't have ears.

    B.... ....

    Why do u think so? lol

  90. C.... ....

    get cancer and die.

  91. �.... ....

    ライブで暴れたい

  92. M.... D....

    Listen closely :D

  93. s.... f....

    2:20 best part this is sooo good

  94. T.... ....

    morons you dont just pick this band up and say oo i can understand them ive been listening to this kinda shit for a while and can hear what they are screaming becuz it takes time too understand there style but if you dont liek if stfu and get out!!!

  95. c.... ....

    Still didn't answer my question, kid.
