Atreyu - Gallows Lyrics






This life starts
With a heartbeat
Is it beat, beat, beat, beat, beating, me down
Like the loser I am?

I can't help
But to see
That success scares
The living shit out of me
Like the loser I am

Every time I walk away
Every word I never say

Restless
Chasing shadows
Choices
Facing Gallows Pole
Are you hanging by a thread
Or swinging from the rope?
Don't think we don't see your scars
Are you afraid of who you are?

Are you afraid of who you are!?

Denial what subtle burn
Is it burn, burn, burn, burn, burning me out
Or feeding the flames?

Spread out the ash
Pretend to see
That you can
Still find some value in me
Or is it feeding the flames?

Every time I walk away
Every word I never say

Restless
Chasing shadows
Choices
Facing Gallows Pole
Are you hanging by a thread
Or swinging from the rope?
Don't think we don't see your scars
Are you afraid of who you are?

Oh my god
What am I afraid of
Success or not having what it takes?

Oh my god
I afraid of me
And everything that brings

Restless
Chasing shadows
Choices
Facing Gallows Pole
Are you hanging by a thread
Or swinging from the rope?
Don't think we don't see your scars
Are you afraid of who you are?

Afraid of who you are?
Are you afraid of who you are!?

  30. M.... M....

    thanks for your music, masters.

  31. K.... B....

    if you put the speed to 1.25 the song sounds even more awesome

  32. J.... j....

    well done!

  33. M.... A....

    fucking song rocks

  34. Z.... H....

    atreyu is badass I like all of their songs

  35. J.... ....

    Not sure why they have so much shit for Lead Sails and Congregation, they were both really amazing albums. I like the others as well and am not sure why everyone hates the newer ones...they're awesome

    J.... ....

    I agree that being more heavy doesn't necessarily mean better, but I find Atreyu at their best when it comes to just raw aggression. Lead Sails was just such a huge departure.. a few good songs, but even a song like Blow feels comparatively weak. The whole album was just a misstep to me. I feel like Congregation gets a bad wrap though, it was a damn good album and much heavier than Lead Sails.

    J.... ....

    @Patrick Madden I thought most of the songs on Lead Sails were pretty good

    J.... ....

    I couldn't agree more. I enjoy Atreyu's body of work as a whole but Lead Sails Paper Anchor is by far my favorite. Sure, it wasn't super hard but every band should experiment and progress as a group and they did well in that regard. Congregation is another great one.

    J.... ....

    I don't think these guys have a single bad album. I thought Lead Sails and Congregation were both extremely strong albums. This track in particular I think is one of their best songs, period.

    J.... ....

    cause their original audience was metal heads and shit. and this is alt rock. they should be touring with nickel back

  36. O.... p....

    this one and Blow are really my favorite...so energetic!

  37. C.... S....

    The only good song they've made since they moved record labels. :((

  38. C.... ....

    DRAKEDOG! <333

  39. A.... ....

    This is not mainstream. This is them realizing how shitty and mainstream their previous album was and making up for it with their classic sound.

    A.... ....

    funny thing about free choice is.. if you don't like the music you can feel free to fuck off. what a concept!

  40. J.... ....

    I will never understand why people continue to argue over music. No band is superior while every band is superior. No genre is the best while each genre is the best. 

    Arguing over what band is better is as pointless as arguing over which political party is the best or which religion is greater. 

    J.... ....

    Please, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and savior?

    J.... ....

    Yes i have time but i'm bullshit-immune

    J.... ....

    +JessiciaC that's a good joke. don't tell me that blood on the dance floor is better than any of it's competition.

    J.... ....

    +The Real Jonry You and I may not think so but someone does...Arguing that with someone who does/doesn't think so is a huge waste of time and energy because a large majority of people will never be able to agree on such things. Personally, I despise BOTDF but I'm not going to go off on someone who likes them & thinks they are gods.

    J.... ....

    @JessiciaC I will, because they're retarded. 

  41. K.... S....

    They should make me the vocalist.

    My screams are much more powerful.

    K.... S....

    you should listen some more new this era of atreyu is more "less" heavy than others

    K.... S....

    but this song is mostly cleans :I

    K.... S....

    I'll believe that when your in a band who has actually made it haha.

    K.... S....

    I checked out your "band" your voice sounds like me that time I got diarrhea from eating to much spicy Mexican food

    K.... S....

    Oh, I knew I saw you somewhere! You fucked up my order at McDonald's once!

  42. C.... G....

    GOD DAMN!! I remember when this song first came out, i was like wtf is this MADNESS?!! I absolutely love this song. The start is soo fucking awesome. That double bass coming in and hits u like a damn truck! good shit here

  43. d.... m....

    wow went from cool to main stream garbage still...... they lost my business years ago when they changed styles like little bitches

  44. M.... B....

    115 people swung from the rope..

  45. F.... S....

    gostei não =/

  46. T.... ....

    2 more days till im rocking the fuck out to them at aftershock festival!!!

  47. J.... T....

    so this is what happened to Will Sasso

    J.... T....

    as he's drumming a lemon just randomly falls out of his mouth

  48. r.... A....

    Nice song!!!!

  53. E.... J....

    chasing shadows

  54. S.... ....

    The members of atreyu could be 50 fkin years old and i'd still listen to them.

    S.... ....

    why would the age of the band ever matter?? 

  55. R.... O....

    I MISS ATREYU.

    R.... O....

    Confirmed as reunited today! We don't have to miss them anymore :D

  56. D.... A....

    They might be getting out of this hiatus very soon. I fucking hope.

    D.... A....

    @TYFLOL Oh alright then. Yeah their old stuff is straight out metalcore... Trust me I've been listening to them since I was like 4 I think. Their next album (coming up) should go back to their roots so you'll hopefully see :) or look up their older stuff (Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses, The Curse, A Death-Grip On Yesterday were the first and best 3) 

    D.... A....

    @Zachary Patton I'll check the new album out when it drops :)

    D.... A....

    @TYFLOL It might be a little bit before that happens, they're probably gonna tour before they release anything :) 

    D.... A....

    +mrcazisthetallbloke. They went into a break (hiatus) around like 2011. In July they finally returned and they recently released a single called So Others May Live

    D.... A....

    New album + 2 other songs out lads. ;)

  57. d.... ....

    Drakedog X

    d.... ....

    Drakedog is the reason I listen to half of the music I do now. He has always been a legend to me.

  58. S.... ....

    hey guys i just posted my first song and i am looking for some feedback :)
    /watch?v=QaIYF_9F-us

  59. C.... ....

    pop listeners are sad people. they listen whatever radio stations decide they should like....

  60. u.... ....

    atreyu, please come back, i truly miss you

  61. o.... ....

    Metal is actually pretty popular. Just look at how many entries metal fests sell. (and its not as if all metal enjoyers went there, i never did...yet)
    The media likes to show how aweful and outcasts it makes us though. Well, I think its getting better for that too.
    Also, metalheads tend to be much more dedicated to their music than those who listen to pop. That being said, I enjoy some pop every now and then. Although if i come upon shit like Nicki Minaj I need Bloodbath or any other proper cure

  62. L.... ....

    I can't fully agree with that though, but none the less pop IS more popular then metal, since metal liking people usually are shut outs or get bullied.

    Then again, most people who listen to pop are afraid to get bullied and go with the flow like the little turds they are.

  63. H.... N....

    But the shelf life for most "pop" artists is at most 5-7 years compared to metal bands who have 10-20 years or possibly longer

  64. C.... ....

    I have seen one or two in my short life. If you mean metal listeners I know a lot of them. And I can't find any point of writing such comment as you did. What the hell you wanted to tell me calling me stupid. I made Captain Obvious comment, that's all. Problem?

  65. H.... ....

    You sir. Are just bloody stupid. Have you seen how many metal heads are in Europe? Do your research before you ramble. = o =

  66. B.... V....

    because too many people doesn't understand music.It's why pop is more popular but even it's it doesn't mean pop is better rock or metal even rap or else.I don't understand why people give a fuck to gangnam style or like this musics either they are like shit.Rock and Metal genres have better musics pop just more popular 'coz of moron ppl!

  67. T.... ....

    0:12 holy shit LOOK AT THAT HAPPY MOTHERFUCKER

    happy drummer is happy

  68. M.... N....

    It's because of people like me who challenge their friends to try and listen to the whole thing without their ears bleeding.

  87. C.... W....

    God I love this song

  88. R.... ....

    i guess that's why the genre is called "pop"

  89. L.... ....

    Pop is way more popular than every kind of metal. Don't hate.

  90. P.... H....

    well, in that case... Im AM afraid of who I am.

  91. J.... M....

    ARE YOU HANGING BY A THREAD OR SWINGING FROM THE ROPE?
