Atreyu - Dilated Lyrics






Yesterday I forgot to breathe for like the 6th time this week.
Maybe it was the pink cloud strafed sky that changed my mind and brought me back
Seems like every day it's kill or be killed...
With all this anger there is no time to inhale and progress
And catch the smell of something that you once knew.
Have you ever stopped raised your face up to the sun and screamed
Let it out exhale the pain
That strangulates your soul, when will I be free
My lungs take in the fragrance of remorse, what is the cost, am I living,
If you let your lungs fill up with pain then you will drown in your own regret.
My arms feel so numb my heart palpitates missing a beat.
The blood freezing in my veins. the taste of rust in my mouth.
So today I just threw it all away
Though the light burns my eyes I will not be blind,
If you blink you could miss so much. please don't ever close your eyes

Atreyu Dilated Comments
  1. M.... H....

    The guitars sound like old school melodic death metal

  2. D.... V....

    Underrated metalcore song...

    D.... V....

    Yeah, we don't get Metalcore like this anymore. 1995-2007 was the genre's Golden Age and bands in this decade offered fans AN EMBARRASSMENT OF CLASSIC RICHES!

  3. M.... ....

    I'm just here because I needed to find this song to show my friend how they stole a riff from darkest hour. Fuck this band of thieves. For those who don't know they also ripped off In Flames, fuck Atreyu.

    M.... ....

    MegaTheInternet first of all your entitled to your OPINION but dont go placing the title theif over someones head and i guarantee each band member would love to kick your ass for shitting on their work.

    M.... ....

    Universe Slayer and you could do a simple Google search for atreyu rips off in flames, this song rips off soul of the savior by darkest hour THE ATREYU SINGER EVEN SAYS SOUL OF THE SAVIOR WHILE THEY PLAY THE RIFF. Band members want to kick my ass hahaha grow up, they stole riffs

    M.... ....

    This takes a lot of guts to say but damn it, your right my bad on that shouldnt of jumped to conclusion. I couldnt believe they would steal from another band but shit you got me.

    M.... ....

    MegaTheInternet well what band hasn't ripped off Black Sabbath if u wanna get technical bro

  4. t.... ....

    this is one of my fave songs ever; i still vividly remember the first time I heard it :D

    awesome!!! thanx

    not talking shit on this kind of music because personally i like it but do you guys actually understand what they're saying when they scream? i can only make out like half of what they say.

    a.... ....

    No, this album and earlier were kinda rough. You have to look up the lyrics because somehow parts like "pink, cloud-strafed skies" come out in three syllables... Still a great album. I think the Curse was better to understand without the huge overhaul in style in later years.

    a.... ....

    I can hear all lyrics to this particular song except for the part the guy before me mentioned. However there's alot of other songs in the same album that i can't hear shit. The singer is was pretty bad at singing the vocals so that you can hear them at the time when this was released imo. I don't know how this band sound nowdays, but i really enjoyed their Visions album(?). It is pretty hard to hear the lyrics in that album too, at first. But you get used to the style and after a while you'll be familliar with it and there'll be no problems to hear the vocals. :)

  7. D.... S....

    Y does people want to argue about stupd shit? Can't we all just get along?

  8. t.... ....

    true :(

  9. P.... V....

    Yes. just like Avenged they sold out big time and are now nothing more than mainstream garbage.

    P.... V....

    Honestly his high screams coulda been better..but the music was good..and recording quality wasn't the same as other bands at the time more raw..as for avenged sevenfold I can't speak for them...I wouldn't even say they're in the same ballpark of music

  10. b.... ....

    i don't know why you guys are talking about "The Curse" on this video. It is an awesome album, but I think that "Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses" has less of that "record label sound" and more of a true original sound. But to be fair, Atreyu exists to me only in the form of their first two albums.

  11. n.... ....

    What a waste of skin.

  12. v.... ....

    What a waste of money.

  13. D.... ....

    nostalgia level infinite

  14. R.... G....

    who the fuck are you to tell him otherwise? His arm his rules

  15. S.... ....

    Unholy Confessions is the best A7X song in my opinion..

  16. t.... ....

    we dont need coves for Atreyu's songs. Atreyu is the the best!!! <3 Atreyu 4 ever... enjoy the song (Y)

  17. S.... ....

    1:37-3:35 my favorite part

  18. r.... b....

    cant beleive these guys actually broke up ( well haitus as they claim it ) but yeah they were good this album us always be their best tho

  19. j.... ....

    my arms feel so numb, my heart palpitates missing a beat the blood freezing in my veins . so sick!!

  20. S.... M....

    prolly the best cd ever made

  21. t.... h....

    man atreyu is the shit

  22. n.... ....

    @EnkaiTrio i gotta admit your taste in bands is really fucking awesome :]

  23. N.... D....

    @EnkaiTrio can we see that tattoo bro?

  24. T.... J....

    GOD my favorite part I cant even hear on my computer. The base drop in the middle of the song just feels badass

  25. P.... ....

    @EnkaiTrio 3 fucking amazing bands?

  26. W.... H....

    M.... J....

    Melissa Jade are you still alive?

  33. a.... a....

    i love atreyu, best band out there

  34. J.... M....

    i think their newest album is alot better then the previous one though, becoming a bull worst atreyu song ever

  35. R.... ....

    Greatest band of all time.

  36. B.... ....

    great band ever since it hit the metal scene

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

    well there new album is gunna put that one to shame haha. its gunna be insane.

  38. f.... ....

    To make this clear for all of you, Atreyu is a band of change (obviousley) they do like trying new techniques of playing and writing music, even if the public doesnt like it. They stated that the more change the better they will become. And if your a hater, well then don't comment. All their album's have been great, and albums later in the future will be great. And also atreyu is coming out with a run on album from LSPA. Its called Congregation of the damned. Coming out Oct. 27th 2009!

  39. P.... ....

    why do you feel the need to spam?

  40. d.... ....

    i love atreyu
    and yay first comment =]
