Audition, The - You've Made Us Conscious Lyrics






We are the leaders and the preachers
Teaching you what is right from wrong
And even if a hint of nonsense has made us clearly conscious
We'll be the first ones to act, be the first ones to act in

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...

Oh oh oh, look at what we've all tried not
To become another fabricated self-portrait
Oh oh no, take another glance and remember
We're the ones setting you up to take our fall

You are the so-called weak and reckless
Waiting for the next big explosion
No matter if it's wrong or right. If we let you have this
You'll be the first to destroy, be the first to destroy it

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...

Oh oh oh, look at what we've all tried not
To become another fabricated self-portrait
Oh oh no, take another glance and remember
We're the ones setting you up to take our fall

The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we
Disguise our secrets
You know you need this
The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we
Disguise our secrets
You know you need this

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...
Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...

Oh oh oh, look at what we've all tried not
To become another fabricated self-portrait
Oh oh no, take another glance and remember
We're the ones setting you up to take our fall

  67. F.... O....

    I forgot how good this album was.

  68. a.... t....

    anytime i spontaniously check out old emo hits from 05-09 i see loads of people getting nostalgic in the comments lool. so cringey looking back at this stuff now

    a.... t....

    Nah it's scene but come on we all know they go hand in hand 😂

    a.... t....

    B E E D R I L L So true. It's funny because I came across this band with a song called Ms Crumby in a video game (Watch Dogs). Loved the song to pieces. And here I am.

    a.... t....

    Do you think they split up though?

    a.... t....

    @InvasionFPS​ most likely

    a.... t....

    ah man that's a shame

  69. K.... S....

    I've always wanted the girls haircut at the end in the polo 😭 so perfect

  70. J.... M....

    I was a wee lad when this came out lol when i want to feel nostalgic i listen to this

  71. K.... H....

    my brothers band The Setback toured with these guys!

  72. F.... B....

    que música foda

  73. E.... M....

    wow time flies, 2005 at its best.

  74. t.... ....

    still crushing on the girl wearing the teal shirt and teal necklace all these years later.

    t.... ....

    I was just thinking the same dude!

    t.... ....

    Damn she IS fine. Never noticed her. Check out the girl in taking back Sundays video for timberwolves at new jersey. Y'all can thank me later haha

    t.... ....

    Her name is Marina, went to my High School's rival sports school, now married with two beautiful children, she's also an M.D in the Army.

    t.... ....

    Her hair cut was amazing!

    t.... ....

    Saaaaaaaame

  75. G.... ....

    This came out my senior year and was such a great album. Also this was not emo music this was pop punk which was huge at that time.. I actually had some good friends in a pop punk band called Blinded Black. They played with The Audition multiple times and said the lead singer was kind of a dick though he had a great voice. This music was definitely part of my generation and will probably never have another growth spurt as it did between the years 03-05. The Academy Is, The Audition, The Format, Cartel, Something Corporate, Emery and many more bands created some incredible music during those years. May we never forget.

    G.... ....

    I agree. I started to listen to music in 03 and it was something magical. Even though I graduated in 2010 I still feel apart of this generation. The music defined us and changed us so much. You are right may we never forget

    G.... ....

    The kings of pop punk will always be New Found Glory

    G.... ....

    The starting line tooo

  76. i.... ....

    2016 and I'm still listening to this song....let the nostalgia sink in

  77. S.... ....

    this takes me back omg

  78. T.... ....

    I FINALLY FOUND IT! I haven't heard this song in forever. Takes me back to the good times..

  79. E.... T....

    I always liked how they got Albert Wesker to work for them briefly in-between populating the planet with zombies and B.O.W.s.

  80. L.... M....

    i remember when victory records played on fuse every weekend and played the best music

  81. J.... S....

    Wow... This takes me back... I was 18 and had just moved out of my parents house when this came out.i miss those sampler DVDs that came with all the victory albums that had videos of other victory bands. I had one that was like Silverstein, June, the audition and Aiden I used to jam that all the time. I'm still waiting on doc brown to roll up in a delorean so I can go back to the early 2000s

    J.... S....

    Im legit trying to figure out what other songs were on the silverstein album. Im going on a binge lol.

    J.... S....

    I was 12!

    J.... S....

    Lol I remember seeing Bury Your Dead and Silverstein on one of those sampler DVDs and laughing hysterically at the video for Magnolia by BYD. Years later, I still love all three bands.

    J.... S....

    I FORGOT ALL ABOUT JUNE! OMFG. YASSS

    J.... S....

    I FORGOT ALL ABOUT JUNE! OMFG. YASSS

  82. K.... o....

    Oh yes! This song bring me back!! \m/-(^_^)-\

  83. h.... e....

    Man, they r all sooo fetus!!! I will always luv The Audition

  84. t.... ....

    why doesn't this exist anymore god dammit

    t.... ....

    try mayday parade bands like this still exist

    t.... ....

    +Aaron Wade yeah

    t.... ....

    Thinking The same Thing. They should still be Playing This Punk Rock Music. This & Blink 182

    t.... ....

    Bands like this should be successful as more famous ones.

  85. s.... ....

    Victory had the scene on lock in 2006, wish I could relive those days

    s.... ....

    Bruh.. hell yeah bro I was in my bag back den ... This album was lit bro.. I hope my class break the race barrier n live they life listening to diverse shit cuss this music is the shit makes u appreciate ur past

  86. d.... p....

    i miss this music ... ahhh !

  87. a.... r....

    Nostalgia out the ass

  88. L.... J....

    Ted Mosby rocking this music video.

  89. L.... J....

    Ted Mosby rocking this music video.

  90. A.... B....

    I was born in the wrong era...

    A.... B....

    +Andrew Bokole I was 5....

    A.... B....

    @Josh Carlisle I was only 8-9...

    A.... B....

    You really did.

    A.... B....

    I was a junior in HS

    A.... B....

    yea I remember I used to play with pop punk bands, 2006 was a good time, hooking up with over dramatic scene chics, playing shows at swayzes, pop punk themed parties, people were still crazy for pop punk/hardcore/post-h Norma Jean was at the height of their success masquerade was still around poppin', warped tour still had that energy an excitement that cant be replicated today, music was raw as can be. I graduated h.s in 2006 it was indeed a nostalgic time NOW IM FUCKING 30 years old where did time go damn..

  91. H.... M....

    Holy throw back

  92. A.... L....

    So much nostalgia. Remember watching a Victory dvd of all these music videos. Good times.

  93. R.... L....

    I loved this era. Emo was probably the coolest thing back then.

    R.... L....

    This isn't real emo..

    R.... L....

    @Turner Wilson it's pop rock, emo, alternative. Do they sound like, Texas is the reason, the promise ring, American football, old Jimmy eat world? No. But they sound like tbs, brand new, and lots of other bands under the old victory, vagrant, drive thru, epitaph days of the early-mid 00's

    R.... L....

    @Stephen Sporman forgot Escape the Fate

    R.... L....

    Emo is a fashion like goth it has nothing to do with music. It wasn't until early 2000 when preps started calling anything emo kids listen to as emo music. A large portion of "emo" music is just pop punk or post hardcore.

    R.... L....

    @DeadTownManifesto1985 nahh I'd call that the scene kids. Emo is short for emotional...has everything to do with the music. Scene were the "trendy" emo kids. Least that's how my lil emo ass looked at it lol

  94. A.... ....

    To bad they don't make new music anymore

  95. R.... P....

    Been trying to remember the name of this video for months! why Is this not tagged properly? I was searching scene factory, emo kid production line for months.

    R.... P....

    @Rachael Peck "Emo kid production line" is one of the best things I've read in a YouTube comments section.

    R.... P....

    lol emo kid production line lmao! i was searching for it too and I keep thinking the almost and im like no that's gillespies band but their band name sounds familiar, oh its THE FUCKING AUDITION

  96. L.... W....

    Old VictorV dvd I had from like 10 years ago, oh the nostalgia of sixth grade~
