August Burns Red - Indonesia Lyrics
This plane's going down in flames, and this time there's no black box to capture your last words.
A situation we can't make any sense of. Sacrifice costs all of us everything.
This is the time to turn down our heads and turn up our hearts.
There's no scale to...(there's no scale to...) balance this out.
Some say may those who curse days, curse this day.
Oh...
How does a man wrap his mind around eternity, when he can't even...(when he can't even...) explain his own...(explain his own...) composition?
Don't you see it's bigger than you?
He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, and the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame.
He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, and the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame...
The earth will swallow the water. The clouds refill the oceans.
The earth will swallow the water and spit out.
The clouds will refill, refill the oceans.
The earth will swallow... Old mountains will crumble... ...the water and spit out. ...and stronger ones will rise.
The clouds will refill... This is the portrait... ...refill the oceans. ...of the humble and broken.
David, rest in peace.
He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, and the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame.
He sleeps in the mountains of Indonesia, and the white on his flag brings colors to shame, colors to shame.

August Burns Red Indonesia Comments
Why the indonesia ??
easily the best album in my opinion
Cant have it be at 666 comments
666th comment won't stop me from praising God and listening to awesome music 🙏🤘🏻
I don't listen to ABR as much anymore, but I remember hearing this song for the first time and getting goosebumps at the "David, Rest In Peace" part. The guitar riff backed by Matt's double bass bad-assery and Jake's sincere vocals tie it all up and, in my opinion, makes for a more heartfelt tribute song than Don McLean's 'American Pie.' I'm disappointed it wasn't a bigger track on Constellations and that out of the 4 times I've seen the Keystone state boys play live they never had it on their setlist, but maybe it gets them emotional so I would understand if that's the case. Nothing but love for ABR.
2019 and still raping this. ❤️ from Indonesia!!!
For Indonesia, Shame!
RIP David
just a band want to criticize a country?
stupid song
for Indonesian do not overproud for this song, cuz this song meaning is criticizing you Indonesian
It's about the pilot
@Bintang GA i knew
Yeah, i know it
Yeah, I know it
@Nikita Knyazev but you said this song is critizing indonesian.
As Indonesian, i dont know what to say.
Bacod Kau Setan :v
And the white on his flag brings colors to shame
David, rest in peace
God repays your kindness 🖤
This song tell me about bad bad Indonesian Goverment.. i know what mean of this song.. rarely appreciate someone's sacrifice. yes this is our country..

INDONESIA MEMANG MEMALUKAN SIH
Lu yg malu2in

@IMAGINE TV lu yang malu maluin
This video needed one more comment
on this day i am so proud for be indonesia ... f yes ...
they make song about my countr ... my home land ... this to be indonesa song !
These band has been sick from the beginning. I keep coming back to their albums. Still like thrill seeker the best tho
Bagi orang indo yang mau ngekomen di bawah please jangan overproud ini lagu bukan buat negara kita. Ini lagu buat temen si vocalis yang mentrasport orang suku di Indonesia. Di penerbangan terakhirnya pesawat nya kecelakaan abis itu nabrak gunung. jadi sekali lagi please jangan malu-malu kita di depan bule yang dengerin ini lagu.
Rest in Peace David
Woww goosebumps everywhere tho.. What a powerfull screaming..
still not sure the meaning of "and the white on his flag brings colors to shame"
Muito bom cara
Crasy very very goode
The funny thing is even the stranger peoples from the other side (outside country) make more sense to Papua's people than the people inside it, TRAGIC!!!!!!
The chills are real. Very deep song.
it's my favourite song of theirs. And now, since I know the lyrics, I love it twice as much!
Great video dude. Is it he sleeps with the mountains of Indonesia the second repeat of that line?
just putting comment~
my country~ i'm sure BlackDan will reply to me and no one cares LOL
David....
Man. This song is 8 years old? Where does time go?
its gone now
This song puts me in my damn feelings when they say David Rest In Peace.
nah man.it is not about a country.
he sleeps on the mountain of my country :(
Best song of August Burns Red, in my opinion!
orng luar ngebantu indonesia aja nda di hargai apalagi kita
kebalik bro.. orang kita sendiri aja tak dihargai apalagi orang luar. hehe
Thank you august burn reds for carrying the name of our country in the title song.
#RESPECTFROMINDONESIA
tau arti liriknya gak?
John Michael nyebut nama band nya aja salah, dengerin lagu nya juga enggak kayaknya
white doesn't bring shame, careless that birng's shame of our hero
HE SLEEPS WITH THE MOUNTAINS OF INDONESIA, AND THE WHITE ON HIS FLAG BRINGS COLORS TO SHAME
maafkan segala kesalahan di negaraku :')
Yeah other good memories ! Nivel song!
"David, rest in peace"....most powerful scream I've ever heard.
I've listened to a LOT of extreme metal and hardcore albums in my day that get CRAZY potent but.... you know what
You just might be fucking right
Rest in power David. Not enough people out there trying to make the world a better place :( Its tragic to lose anyone but especially those trying to lift others up
This song crushes. One of their very best. Amazing...
this song is dedicated to a pilot named David Clapper who is a friend of the drummer ABR , Matt Greiner .
David Craig Clapper ( 48 years) was a husband and father of four children , he served as a pilot of a small plane that was on a humanitarian mission in the jungles of Papua , in 2008 he was given the task to bring the local people who are ill to be taken to the Hospital nearby , unlucky him when the storm hit which resulted in the aircraft belonging to Associated Mission Aviation ( AMA ) kinds of Pilatus PC- 6 flight number PK - RCZ hit a tree and crashed on Mount Teibu , village Ndundu , district Wori , district Tolikara , Papua and David Clapper was declared dead immediately . That was the occasion that inspires Matt Greiner and his friends in the ABR to create a song with the title of Indonesia who is dedicated to his friend David Clapper .
Ty for helping sort out the meaning behind the song. If you like this you should check out a song dedicated to a young man named Vahle (by Volumes)
Sad story indeed, but that gives this song even more depth and meaning.
Thanks, man. Deep condolences... . Im from Indonesia and it is the story of one of our states. May he has a better place to move on... .
Thank you, i had thought for the longest time it was about a prior drummer.
Their tribute to a fallen friend is indescribably heavy and has stuck with me since the moment i heard this song years ago. Clarity on the matter is very appreciated.
who is David?? i always wondered
a pilot who died in a crash. this song is dedicated to him.
as far as i can recall from what i learned a long time ago, he was a humanitarian of some sort that the band knew.
He was a missionary who lived in Indonesia and cared for a tribe there. He flew the people of the tribe to a hospital whenever they needed care. Pulled this information from an interview with Matt Greiner.
what happened in indonesia. i live in indonesia. indonesia is peace country
Lagu ini didedikasikan untuk seorang pilot bernama David Clapper, sahabat dari drummer ABR, Matt Greiner yang meninggal pada tahun 2008 ketika sedang menjalankan misi kemanusiaan di pedalaman Papua.
Jadi intinya lagu ini sama indonesia baik2 aja kok.. cuma buat dedikasi sama temennya si Matt.
so fucking what? hahahah i live in indonesian too
this song has a the black dahlia murder vibe in it.
Rizal Borisman I was thinking the exact same thing
My Country.....Indonesia....
who cares!?
Your country sucks
damn this music sucks
INDONESIA
wow, favorite band of all time
You ever just wanna burn the biddle twang?
RIP DAVID
Sounds more like "He sleeps WITH the mountains of Indonesia"...
this song gave me chills
It's been years, and I'm just now realizing this is Tommy from BTBAM... .-.
+Ryan McBride The clean vocals*
that's what I said, but... yeah
+Ryan McBride The screams during the clean vocals part are also recorded by him
now that even I just noticed as well
I was just about to comment that.
Almost 16 years of listening to this album and never realized Giles does those clean vocals.
Mind = blown
This has been my favorite song of theirs since this albums release. But when I found out it was featuring Between the Buried and Me I loved it wayyy more. \m/
I like it,,,
My country indonesi

"And the white on his flag brings colors to shame."
When I first heard this song, and the story behind it, I couldn't help but be blown away and moved. To me, the phrase above is an ode to who David was. A man who was good. "And the white of his flag" this was a man that made you want to be a better man when you looked at him. White is the color of purity. Of innocence. What I take from this song is that we all are carrying our own flags, which represent our lives. Some of our lives, or "flags", have been dirtied and discolored. But they can be washed and made new. I only hope that I can live my life in such a way that when I die, I'll have something half so profound said about me, and how I carried my flag.
the white on his flag represents him bringing peace to a war torn country by flying supplies in and out of the country.
@Andrew Marshall Semantics. You say that it describes his actions. I believe it is deeper than that and describes the man himself.
i'm an indonesian this music is not offensive in my thought
because it wasn't meant to be offensinve lol
Karena emang bukan buat menyinggung orang indo check dah deskripsi videonya
This is who the song is about. http://lancasteronline.com/news/ex-countian-dies-in-plane-crash-in-indonesia/article_859dce1a-f9db-5627-b9ba-d375af7148aa.html
Not being mean or negative, but to all the people who are saying, "its my country" do you even know what the song us about ??
I know that. I was saying that others don't
@FadedDrummer okay lol I was just a bit confused. That's all.
some of them know, I know the story behind this song. offended? me? no
yes. its about a plane crash
Probably not
Ohh my country
-_- memalukan benga, ini ngebahas tentang temennya dia yang mati naik pesawat ke indonesia, lalu pesawatnya jatuh
Your country sucks
" And the white on his flag,v brings colors to shame"
i'm Indonesian, and i find this offensive.
but it's true, so, it's not offensive
I think you are misinterpreting it. It's not about Indonesia, it's about an american guy who died in a plane crash over Indonesia. He was a friend of the band, and he helped less fortunate parts of the country. The white of his flag is the white flag, or the symbol for surrender.
yes, i know that. it was their friend who died in papua
"And the white on his flag, brings colors to shame"
is because our (Indonesia) government wasn't did any
"act" 'bout the crash
that's what i get .. sorry for my bad english
so many Indonesian overproud in here , they not know what the song meaning is ,,
-_-
@Youth Music Project bukan menghina sih sebenernya bro, mungkin lagu ini suatu ungkapan kekecewaan mereka ke buruknya penanganan terhadap kecelakaan khususnya penerbangan pada saat itu. Wajar aja kalo mereka sampe bikin lirik "..and the white on his flag brings colors to shame". Correct me if I wrong & enjoy the Internet bro cheers.
Youth Music Project yep bro lagunini emang emosinya dapet banget intinya bebas dalam berkarya & jujur lagu lagunya mereka mindblowing sih 🤯🤯
Mungkin mereka belum dengerin lagunya sampe tuntas bro
Ini cerita tentang temennya drummer ABR, yang tentara untuk tugas kemanusiaan. Dan pesawatnya landing menabrak pohon di area sekitar Papua. Mohon doanya semoga orang tsb mendapatkan tempat yang layak di akhirat sana, Amin... .
@Yusuf Zulfi seenggaknya dia udh mencoba ngetik dalam bahasa inggris
:') awesome song (y)
yeah, in my country...
#Indonesia
-_- memalukan benga, ini ngebahas tentang temennya dia yang mati naik pesawat ke indonesia, lalu pesawatnya jatuh
@Black Dan 90 kalau boleh tau pesawat apa? ,- nggak ada britanya
@Syafri Nugroho kurang tau gan, gk baca sampe habis
Your country sucks
R.I.P David Clapper.
It's a song about their friend named David who died in a plane crash while doing volunteer work in Indonesia. The lead singer Had and urge to write the opening lyrics the day before he heard the news.
Who is the David hes singing about ?
David clapper, a friend of theirs who died in a plane crash. I guess he would transport people from a tribe in Indonesia to hospitals and on his way back he got caught in a storm that swept his plane into the mountain.
Oh, thanks man
Best song of ABR in my opinion.
There should be more inspiring songs like this one, it invites a bit to an introspection
2:49 oo shiit, best moment
Who's the guy doing the cleans in the later part of the song? Or is that Jake?
Tommy Giles from BTBAM
haah there christian, ahh well
I don't understand why that matters. What matters is their music. Their lyrics are inspirational to people of all beliefs and their actual musical talent is quite amazing. In my opinion it is great to find a band not singing about the same damn stuff over and over again and bring some diversity to their genre and their music. Have you listened to Creative Captivity by ABR? They have instruments in that song i never dreamed would be in a metalcore song and it is beautiful. You should not discriminate over religion or beliefs. and its They're
@Sauminus Exactly lmao I'm agnostic as hell and I LOVE this band's output
1:45 gives me goosebumps
0:53 impressive jake
this is the only metal song that makes me tear up. truly, an emotional masterpiece.
David, rest in peace.
Yeah. I LOVE THIS SONG! <3
proud to be indonesian !
you're fuckin moron....
Malu2in ajg 😂, mending lu full install otak lu deh 😂
Kurang tolol apa coba
This was the hardest song I've ever taken my time out to learn on bass. This is why I love ABR. Instrumental wise they seem impossible for someone with barely 2 years on their belt. Lyrically speaking they just give everyone hope for a better day.
appreciate cultures other nations, especially in terms of color just because the funeral?? was not important that the funeral is not the color of clothing ... sign of peace
RIP David
This is my absolute favorite song by them. It brings back so many memories. Freshman year of high school and shutting the world out by blasting this through my headphones.
Just realized that's Between The Buried And Me's screamer 2:26
Narshredder he isn't their screamer, he's their lead singer and keyboardist. Dan Briggs also screams in BTBAM, and maybe others.
Yeah you already said that.
david Rest in peace
a custom from which province of indonesia, bali?
maybe what he means is the hindus in bali
because hindus wear white in funeral, but bali alone, isn't represent indonesia :/
ps: im indonesian
It is actually a custom to wear white to funerals in Indonesia. Plus, he wasn't giving his opinion, he was stating a fact.
Wait it's bad luck to wear white to a wedding? :O
that part always gives me chills :)
It could also be interpreted as a metaphor. White being a symbol of purity, his work was so pure that it made colors seem vile.
hear the machineguns!!
Well, Indonesian loves this song !
Joey P the only thing that the some Inndonesians love is only their own country because they missunderstood the lyrics and thought that the song is for how good the country is.
@Farhan donie Pratama anak itu bilang orang indonesia suka lagu ini.
@Bintang GA gangerti diem aja tlol
@Farhan donie Pratama well, the background of this video ain't complementing it, right?
indonesia is my country <3
FYI, ini lagu mengkritik Indonesia, jd gak usah overproud
Wow. Gave me goosebumps.
me too!
