August Burns Red - Identity Lyrics
Do you know how it feels to hide
with thoughts repressed deep down inside?
I guess you just loved the lie.
Truth is, you can’t decide where my heart resides.
I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am.
My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand
and cast aside from the man that I am.
I’ve never felt so free.
It kills me to hear you say you “choose to love me.”
I was hoping that would be a given, given our history.
I’ve never felt so free, so free
You think I’m wrong, you think I’m wrong
Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie.
I thought blood was thicker than water.
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better. [2x]
I know I disappointed you,
but I’ve got nothing to prove.
You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick.
I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am.
My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand,
but now I’ve realized this is who I am.
I’ve made my decision, you’re either with or against me.
You’re either with or against me. [2x]
Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie.
I thought blood was thicker than water.
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better.
Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie.
I’m standing firm. It’s who I am.
You can’t keep me, you can’t keep me down.
Iʼm moving on. I’m living free.
You canʼt stop me, you canʼt stop me now. [2x]

August Burns Red Identity Comments
2:45 onwards, always gets you pumped as fvck
number #1 for me, probably the best of all time
the shark attacked because it loves Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber...
I have some vague memory of two guys from the 90s singing with an animated jungle background and I have no clue what it’s from and this music video reminds me of that so much.
The comments have not been disappointing.
My close friend was always a big fan of these guys but i never took the time to pay attention to them. He died today so in honor of him i figured id listen to them and im regretting not doing it sooner
¡halleluYAHUAH!
Total Iwrestledabearonce vibes with this video.
絵と歌が噛み合ってなさすぎて、逆に好きww
Under Da Sea! Under Da Sea!!
13/08/19 = 4 YEARS SAW THIS VIDEO!
Seashell drums. I want take this video seriously lol
This song is about a relative of one of the band members coming out of the closet. I guess they wanted all the colors of the rainbow in the music video.
LITERALLY MY FUCKING SHIT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just learned how this song is about the coming out of a relative of one of the band members coming out as gay at 29 (while knowing they were gay since they were 13), and then being shunned by his parents; and the hardships that came with it. Pretty awesome that a band full of Christians can write a song in support of the gay community. Rad shit.

Octopus' Garden: Metalcore version

Do you know how it feels to hide
with thoughts repressed deep down inside?
I guess you just loved the lie
Truth is, you can’t decide where my heart resides
You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick
I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am
My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand
And cast aside from the man that I am
I’ve never felt so free
It kills me to hear you say you choose to love me
I was hoping that would be a given, given our history
I’ve never felt so free, so free
You think I’m wrong, you think I’m wrong
But I never felt better
Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better
Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better
I know I disappointed you
But I’ve got nothing to prove
You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick
I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am
My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand
But now I’ve realized this is who I am
I’ve made my decision, you’re either with or against me
You’re either with or against me
You’re either with or against me
Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better
Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie
I’m standing firm, it’s who I am
You can’t keep me, you can’t keep me down
Iʼm moving on I’m living free
You canʼt stop me, you canʼt stop me now
I’m standing firm, it’s who I am
You can’t keep me, you can’t keep me down
Iʼm moving on I’m living free
You canʼt stop me, you canʼt stop me now
Still loving this one

Christian band singing in support of homosexuality.... You know Jesus said men who lie with men won’t inherit gods kingdom, right? I don’t care if you support homosexuality or not. But bands use the “Christian” title to get fans moreso than actually represent their views.
Knowing the meaning behind this song is really beautiful
The best metal performance Grammy Award goes to August Burns Red.
Fucking epic track from a fucking epic band!
August burns red meets spongebob XD
3:20 MERMAIDER MERMAIDER MERMAIDER
AMAZING
So who knows that the lyrics here were based on a gay friend coming out, so that LGBT members wouldn't have to feel alone? Think of this, August Burns Red is a Christian band, and it seems like they are trying to support the LGBT community.
But the LGBT community supports open, unrepentant, sinful lifestyles that are in direct rebellion against God. (Please reference Romans 1:24-27, Jude verse 7, 1 Corinthians 6:9 from the New Testament, and Leviticus 18:22, and 20:13 from the Old, although there are more still, but this is sufficient).
Not only does the LGBT live in sin themselves, but they also are prideful about it and give approval to others who are in rebellion against God in the same way as them. Again from Romans 1, verse 32:
" and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."
And which is worse? Sexual immorality or pride in the face of God with that immorality? Truthfully that is a hard question, but I would say the pride is even worse than the sexual immorality, for "God opposes the proud, but He gives grace to the humble." and "God knows the proud from afar."
So what is the CHRISTIAN community trying to do, when various members and groups try to justify homosexuality by reinterpreting the word, by blanketing over the obvious sin and pride with "God's love", as if we can somehow enjoy the good things of God even while having no fear of Him, and no respect for His commandments?
Do these "christians" want to tell the LORD that He is mistaken? That His Word is not important? That His repeated commandments concerning homosexuality and pride are irrelevant?
Do these "christians" even love with a Godly love THEMSELVES? Knowing that Real love does not delight in evil? Understanding that Real love rejoices with the truth? (1Cor13).
Or are these fake, so-called Christ-followers, instead following the sensuality of their culture, and by so doing blaspheming the way of Truth? (2Peter2). Ah, yes... I think we can rest assured that this is what is actually happening. They are blaspheming the way of truth, desiring to please men rather than God. Not standing against rebellious acts, because it isn't "politically correct".
Love your gay friends by teaching them to deny themselves! Does it matter if they were born gay or not? No, for we were all BORN into sin. Some into one sin, and others into another. Some are liars, some are violent, some are lustful, some are proud, some are homosexual, some are greedy, some are child pedophiles, some are sexually attracted to animals, some are psychopaths, some are sociopaths, some are pyromaniacs, and the list goes on.
But we have all alike been given an opportunity for a NEW IDENTITY. Why then are Christians wavering on this, and siding with the World instead of God- trying to justify the old identities of men (and themselves) which we have been set free from in Christ!? Believe the Gospel, and promote the New identity! One that is pure and in covenant with God.
This is the metal music video you watch when you get really fucking high.
Wow amazing work !!!
Every song ive heard from the dudes has been incredible, how anyone could say otherwise is astounding to me. It seems like one is being a hater when one talks shit about this band, right? Like when people say Corvettes suck or pizza is lame...
