August Burns Red - Cutting The Ties Lyrics

HIGHLY underrated song

Jake: "Break Freeeeeeee!"


Me, screaming back: "Okaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!"

2:05 to 2:40 is my favorite bars from abr change my mind

I love the uplifting reprisal @4:18

Zakk wydle

This shit helped me get through Afghanistan....

One of the best to ever do it
So beautifully composed

Forever my favorite band

Armando Casas greatest band on this planet

Amen to that!

they obviously sing about how suicide is not right, right?

Jesus is Lord. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. No one goes to Heaven but through Him. John 14 6

Still my fav band after all these years later esp this song. "No one knows the weight on your shoulders no one knows the burdens your bare!"

so good 10/10 i love August burns red

I seriously get so emotional reading the stories and comments people have cuz it's the same way I feel and the reason I love music so fucking much. Its such an amazing new experience every time, getting away from everything for a few mins and getting lost in the music. Its fucking amazing!!

Not my type of music but still good but I think other bands like cannibal corpse, infant annihilator, rings of Saturn, and cattle decapitation are a lot better but that is my opinion

eye_lessjeff that’s how I used to think but nowadays I listen to a lot of hip hop and shit, broadening your taste is always lit

well let's be honest here man, no one gives 2 fucks

i really hate that this album isnt available on spotify

2:40 godly riff

they're best song for drums

4:17 I can really see a lot of Flurries in the outro.

whines too much and the lyrics could be more interesting, like the instruments though.

You're the one whining...

true child

also about suicide so probably not

0:24 ( Angry riff >:(   )
4:17 ( Happy riff :D )

Hahaha Made my day, Friend. ^__^

saidoterodiseno 2:40 perfect riff

Minor to Major :)

I was about to say the same thing @Wyatt Boggs

wow, 1st there was a smoke stack, now there's a dildo. Wonder what it will be next?

Am I the only one who is an atheist, but I think of this song as the band (not God) is going to be here for you, save you, etc? Like I feel like this song can be perceived a few ways.

+ThyBandObsessed Perceive it as you like. They make good music with meaningful lyrics. That's all that matters! :)

I know this is a year late, but why can't God be the one there for you? People just push out the idea of there being a higher being than us. But seriously? All God wants to do is love and care for you, and for you to spend an eternal life with him. Give him a chance and he definitely will care for you, and you will feel his love run through you and it will be a beautiful thing.

because god doesn't exist as far as we know (quantum field theory)

BREAK FREE! YOU WILL BE REVIVED!

Isn't ABR the best?

Yeah bro I love them

¿Qué onda con esto? baia baia :v

BAIA BAIA

Esta vergas

Amazing breakdown. BREAK FREEEEEEEEEEE!

Exactly what I'm going through right now! I love ABR! Such great music and their message is always important. This song has given me a lot of hope

Silence is hard, keep pressing God he wants to see effort with our faith

I'm so glad this is a Christian band

This song speaks the truth?!

Why is there a dildo on the roof of that house

Jacob Salazar that would be a exhaust line lol

@Jacob [#SealTeamFour] it's definitevely the exhaust line

BRRUUUUUUHHH

You're a wierdo

I dont get it am I stupid?

Easily my favorite song on Leveler album

the best gospel metal band ever ... with meaningful lyrics nd killer music !!!!!

great fucking killer song!
respect matafackers!

The intro instantly reminds me of Miss May I. ABR is far better though.

I find this to be one of their or most underrated album :/

AAHAHAHAHA it sold VERY well, man. 

@BleedingMotionlessForeverHQ he means in compare to their newer albums not sales lol

Its their best album

not bad, i used to listen to stuff like this all the time but i kinda grew up a bit, but this isn't bad. i could have done without the words to visually confirm that a couple of times the lyrics got a bit wonky. but overall a pretty good song. seems like plenty of people can connect to it, i probably would have liked it better if i didn't read the words the first time

grew up a bit? you do realize tons of adults listen to stuff like rihanna and miley cyrus and all that shit now, right? you cant grow up with music.

Don't you have a casino to be running? ;)

"Not bad?" You are underestimating the thinking and planning it took to create a masterpiece like "Cutting the ties" much more, even the skills....you are much better than all of us for being so mature thanks for letting us all know that. Why don't you go listen to your Breaking Benjamin now. Hurry on 

i listen to a wide variety of music now, that's what i ment. and i wasn't insulting, i was just saying with a few things and it would have been even better

@Connor B Breaking Benjamin is good too?

Nah, I'll just jam to ABR instead.

I started playing guitar 5 years ago.......and ABR has inspired me to improvise alot better than any other band. The lyrics are like reading my own mind. ABR, keep jammin, never stop, and keep that faith strong just as i do. God Bless.

Revelation! All repent for salvation for our Lord Jesus Christ.

I love Dustin highs they ser so brutal!!.

Amen, brother!

How come christian rock/metal is way better then worldy rock/metal?... Its more hardcore, but the lyrics actually have meaning that we relate to...

ABR, thanks!

BREAK FREE!!!

essa musica parece que nunca vai acabar

Break Free, Break free... I crapped my pants at the brutality. Amazing song.

That's not a metronome you big goof. Go eat a mung bean.

watch?v=_3gskEW9ydc

Siiiiilaaaaaaaaannnceeee Isss a frustrating answer when all you wanted is a signn!!! *Head bannngg*

is anyone elses youtube being homosexual right now?

/watch?v=hAXGCQ5pcyk CUTTING THE TIES ACOUSTIC

0:32 is like ride-bell-ride-bell-ride-bell etc. 3:12 is just with ride only.

No, thats Matt hitting ride-bell-ride-bell-ride-bell etc.

I think that's matt hitting the bell

Your life is beautiful & meaningful even without that experience! Remember you will always have 1 person who loves you & that's the 1 that matters the most (The Lord Christ)

This song fn speaks to me..

It's funny how you sat that seeing how they're a Christian metalcore band. They take the term from the Bible "Scream the Lord's name" and just do that to further express their belief in God.

God damn that breakdown @3:55

People have their reasons, but I feel like it speaks to me more. If that makes sense? I feel like their message needs the desperation of screaming out.

Have you ever been told that you need to just scream and shout it out? Well this is the alternative..

Can someone please explain to me how it's possible for a band to be this talented and moving?

who is "HE"?

cute :)

4:18 - 4:33 makes me happy.

4:03. BREAK FREEEEEEEE. Love that afterbass.

Am I the only one who gets chills listening to 1:42 when it just slows down and gets super ambient for a few moments?

1:27 dat bass o.O

BREAK FREE!!!!!!!!

Drums at 2:55... fucking genius.

I just had goose bumps from the lyics that was exactly what I needed to hear abr never fails and I praise God for that!

This could be the greatest song ever written, the riff after the breakdown makes me wanna cry because its so godly.

nice picture! killswitch is my favorite band!

I tell you nothing is better then positive metalcore. Whenever I feel like life is a lost cause I put ABR on and it makes me smile and, puts life into perspective. Thanks for all that you do ABR and I hope you stay together forever.

When I first got this album, I only liked this and carpe diem, but after fully exploring this, this band is awesome! Can't wait to get sleddin' hill on christmas :)

iv been listening to this guys since before thrill seeker... this kids now a days have no idea how this guys used to be. shame...

4:02 BRAIN FREEEEEEEZZEEE

remember that!!

When ppl complain about niki minaj vids being in the recommended section, bitch u know u like some niki minaj cause I do.

LIFE IS A GIFT. Epic.

Thanks dude. That is awesome!

no ,we are just going to really badass grandparents. :)

Tonight shit's going to get down. August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada and Veil of Maya. Awesome!

hey ignorant idiots....BREAK FREE!!!

very touching story my friend
your is much better than mine, but Jake reached out to me as well through twitter when i was struggling.

"life is a gift"

I cried when ABR played this live on 10/4/12. He was looking at me from time to time, I was at the rear front. He acknowledged my existence when I felt no one else did. A few songs after that he reached his hand out and touched my fingers. It was an unforgettable experience. I will never decide to end my life because of that! I love ABR!

was this song written for me? i feel connected to the lyrics and it gives me relief.

it is in recommended the videos bc you watched it or songs like it before.

Hahaha, agreed.

GOD! IS ALIVE!!!...

NOW, IS THE TIME!... TOO BELIEVE!!! MORE THAN EVER!.!.!.

4:02 "BRAIN FREEEZZEE"

fucking love the intro

Have you listened to For today? :) just as good :D
But i have to thank ABR for this wonderful music :D

SO true man this song means alot to me and i love ABR man so i couldnt agree more

well august burns red's songs arent always positive. Christianity isnt about hiding from the terrible world we live in. a lot of their songs recognize the evil trends in the world and in human nature. the positive comes back to Jesus.

Why in the mother fuck is a Nicki minaj song in the recommended videos ?And why does it have 3 million views and this has 66 thousand views? People and their music these days i guess its about what you like so I cant hate...

LIFE....ISSSS..AAAA..GIFTTTT....REMEMBER THISSSS!!! Man I LOVE this band.

Those who live in their perfect fake little world... Talking about message in music, pretty much of today's "hits" are full of inappropriate messages for the younger audience, so to speak. I don't know how positive is the message in Flo Rida's Whistle for example. Lady Gaga and Niki Minaj aren't the best role models for anyone too. No need to discuss all the 'smoke weed' songs. Yeah, so those people don't deserve an opinion about that matter.
