August Burns Red - Lifeline Lyrics






Sometimes it's best to keep it all in
Words carry no weight
If the sincerity is questioned

The kindest compliment can do the most damage
When all it does is form an illusion
Trapped inside an inflated sense of self-worth
It will explode leaving nothing but the burns
It will only get worse as it leads to hurt
As it leads to hurt, it leads to hurt

If there's no meaning, there will be no inspiration
Another missed chance at molding aspirations
Don't look away from their eyes
Everyone needs a restart from time to time to time
Don't look away from their eyes
Push and teach and criticize (Push and teach and criticize)

Let them fall, let them fail
Feel the stings of failure (Feel the stings of failure)
Don't look away from their eyes, from their eyes

A mistake is a chance to grow
Into something stronger and bolder
Than they may know
They'll learn to stand on their own

They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth
Don't throw the lifeline if no one calls for help
They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth
It means they're navigating for themselves

Becoming self-sufficient is one of life's biggest missions
Conflicts and stumbles are just obstacles towards making their own decisions
Their own decisions

Have more faith, they can battle the elements
Have more faith, don't be the detriment
Have more faith, they can battle the elements
Have more faith, don't be the detriment

Have more faith

  1. B.... W....

    That outro tho....

  2. h.... h....

    Wow best song ever

  3. S.... Z....

    I'm just gonna say it how it is. ABR destroy the Metalcore genre. Seriously, everything about this band is just perfect.

  4. s.... k....

    JB is a god that deserves more recognition in the world of guitarist. He should be another Randy Rhoads or Eddie Van Halen. Someone that people talk about 40 years from now.

    s.... k....

    Their bassist dustin actually wrote this song on guitar

  5. V.... B....

    damn, this is some avenged sevenfold stuff right here

  6. L.... B....

    one of my fav songs of ABR, I deeply love guitars lines here

  7. J.... K....

    This song is just proof again that Dustin needs to become 2nd lead guitarist beside JB. Listen to the harmony leads in this production!! Let Brent keep pounding out the SOLID rythm, and find a new bass player. ABR=NEXT LEVEL

  8. A.... ....

    the outro can be elongated for four minutes and converted into a whole song and will still be one of the best songs ever heard

  9. b.... ....

    i had absolutely no idea JB could play guitar like that. i seriously had to check to make sure marty friedman didn't record the leads at 2:48 lol

    b.... ....

    The bassist dustin actually wrote this song

  10. B.... W....

    There are parts where I'm head banging and hardcore dancing in my bed with my pjs on... bedcore! All hail A.B.R.

  11. M.... B....

    I slept on this album last year when it came out, but now it just keeps getting better and better.

  12. a.... g....

    That bridge has an Opeth vibe

  13. F.... T....

    HAVE MORE FAITH

  14. D.... ....

    Added to workout playlist!

  15. M.... B....

    Having a difficult time tapping my foot to this. Can't find tempo.

    M.... B....

    It's chilling somewhere between 150 and 160 in the 4/4 sections. In the 6/4 section during the solo it may have changed.

  16. K.... T....

    this is the metal band you bring home to your parents, the leads are so good even non-metalcore fans can enjoy

  17. B.... S....

    It’s sad that the slight Religious themes that this band has creates such a stigma around them, this is some of the most technical and beautiful artistry in this genre and is reduced in most circles to being just ok, good at best.

  18. N.... F....

    3:22 "Nose picker when no one is around!"

  19. R.... ....

    [EXP GAINED][LVL UP][FAITH INCREASED×]

  20. B.... W....

    this is ABR at their prime wow talk about eargasm. taking me back to messengers and constellations the originality is what their known for while keeping their roots. this album is gonna be a masterpiece

  21. B.... B....

    I think their genre should be called 'August Burns Redcore'.

  22. B.... B....

    This album is a pure Masterpiece!!!

  23. A.... F....

    SICK tune! That outro is a madness!

  24. s.... ....

    This song hits me right in the soul. That solo so perfectly depicts the coldness of this world.

  25. A.... B....

    dang, Jb sweep picks in this song... and the distortion wasn't powerful. I love when bands have an awesome sweep picking section, and it was only slightly distorted. so sad. 2:48 if anyone is wondering what I am talking about.

    A.... B....

    Dustin wrote this song. Not JB

    A.... B....

    @Joshua Weeks sorry but, how do you know that Dustin wrote it? I mean, i met the band on 2017 and i don't know very much about them. Thank you :) and sorry for my english. Is not good at all

    A.... B....

    @David Ll they said so. Thats how

  26. K.... S....

    That riff at 3:08 is deadly. Unreal.

  27. K.... S....

    Technical metalcore is about all I can think of for this

  28. J.... M....

    Such a beautiful song

  29. A.... ....

    I hope one day..I'll see JB play this song :D this is a fckin good music of their new album give thrills nice job !

  30. K.... S....

    เทพบุตรอุณหิสวิชัย

  31. a.... ....

    Best track on the album IMHO

  32. J.... ....

    Have more faith that my neck can withstand the end of this song.

  33. C.... C....

    Songwriting in this is absolutely incredible and holy shit that outro at 4:13

    C.... C....

    From there to the end has got to be one of the greatest pieces of music ever written!!

  34. M.... J....

    esses rifs são fodas

  35. i.... ....

    Never had a band hit me so hard with realness

  36. J.... C....

    That ending is fucking beautiful

  37. M.... T....

    this is a christian band please don't take the Lord's name in vain

  38. J.... ....

    THAT GROOVE BREAKDOWN ON THE WAY OUT .... OMG !

  39. M.... S....

    I'm getting y ou known here in granby from Québec. Come in Montréal I know you've already come imma see you. My keyboard is in french from my tablet Samsung elite and corrects all my mistakes. Someone know how I can change it I always speak English. This would be appreciated.

    M.... S....

    Hey! un compatriote granbyen;)

  40. J.... E....

    Great tune !!

  41. G.... G....

    As a parent this song is really speaking to me.

  42. G.... G....

    Love the I'm not the victim message.

  43. S.... ....

    gooooooooooooooooood

  44. H.... R....

    thats the most progressive metalcore thing i have eeeever listened to.

    H.... R....

    even better than AILD...

  45. D.... ....

    This is definitly my favorite in this album. Not that it matters. But it has everything a great song needs.

  46. S.... J....

    ABR u never disappoint us.

  47. d.... ....

    I'm a drummer and I might be partial to that part of the music but why isn't anybody talking about Matt Griener, absolutely amazing! The whole band is great but in my opinion Matt's drum parts make the band for me

    d.... ....

    Everyone knows he is a God tier drummer from the early days

    d.... ....

    He's been the GOAT since day one. If i remember correctly he started the band and they practiced in his parents basement in hs. Matt is incredible live and writes all of his parts out before playing them which is insane.

    d.... ....

    Amen, fam! God has blessed him with the insane gift of insane drumming!

  48. W.... a....

    Just love for ABR!

  49. V.... C....

    This is my favorite song on the album.

  50. J.... ....

    I feel its a bit of a mix of all their albums in this one song :P

  51. a.... g....

    Got that Opeth vibe thrown in there!!

  52. V.... ....

  56. R.... d....

    "Have more faith" Me: NO

    R.... d....

    Waaaa so edgy. Peace on you bro

  57. Q.... ....

    I think it's refreshing that Dustin wrote the song I'm just sick of JB's same style on every solo

  58. A.... M....

    A frickin refreshment and burst of inspiration delivery

  59. M.... A....

    this is masterpiece

  60. S.... C....

    This song is AWESOME!

  61. J.... E....

    Music has slowed down alot with a lot of bands. Some bands sound terrible to be honest. I appreciate the time effort this took to pull this off. Also, please invite the band 12 foot ninja to with you guys in LA. Peace

  62. T.... F....

    at 3:04 i thought i won a lottery

    T.... F....

    More like casino sound XD

  63. S.... R....

    I cannot get enough of that outro. Bravo, Dustin. Bravo.

    S.... R....

    that and everlasting ending! hes a genius

  64. p.... ....

    fav song on alb

  65. J.... K....

    "Have more faith!"

  66. A.... V....

    4:14..... Mmmmmmmmm that is tasty as fuck. This album is just fucking brilliant

  67. J.... M....

    4:20 lighting one up for all the homies who never got to hear this album

  68. M.... C....

    This was a good album by ABR. It is their second best album in my opinion. The lyrical content was very good with the themes of personal responsibility, introspection, growth, fear, and many others that I probably missed. The instrumentals were more technical than their albums before Found in Far Away Places as well. I must say, I understand that ABR originated as a core band, but I do not like how there are more core elements on this album than the last album. I am referring to songs on the album such as "The Frost" not songs like this. Overall, none of the songs on the album have left a major impression on me initially in the way that all of the songs on Majoring in the Minors did, but this is my favorite song on the album. I would like to see the band to progress back to the songwriting of Majoring in the Minors in the future. I will give this album a couple more listens to see if I can differentiate between each song because, to me, they did not contrast each other very well. I do not think it is good to blast for an entire song at the price of sacrificing memorability.

  69. B.... F....

    That outro has got to be one of the most delicious outros in all of outro-dom

    B.... F....

    that and everlasting ending!

    B.... F....

    some seriously sick riffage

    B.... F....

    I thought the outro in "Beauty in Tragedy" was the bomb. Until I heard "Lifeline"

  70. S.... ....

    With every album this band makes, there is always at least one riff that makes me absolutely lose my mind when I hear it the first time. That outro riff is unbelievable. Oh my god. Favorite song on this album <3

  71. D.... B....

  75. N.... S....

    Don't underestimate a bassist in a band when he decides to contribute to the songwriting process. John Myung and Dustin Davidson are perfect examples. :)

    N.... S....

    NEIL SAEL especially when the bassist can play guitar better than the lead guitarist lmao

    N.... S....

    Don't forget Adam Nolly.

    N.... S....

    Gregoletto lmao

    N.... S....

    I have a question, how do you know that Dustin contribute to the songwriting procces? I mean, i met the band on 2017 and i don't know very much about them. Sorry if my english is bad :). Thank you!

  76. L.... A....

    A masterpiece rises

  77. d.... ....

    "Don't throw the lifeline if no one calls for help" these lyrics hit me so hard

  78. A.... t....

    Dustin needs more recognition

    A.... t....

    Acer t Especially since he's the best guitar player in the band lol

    A.... t....

    Sorry, but how do you know that Dustin contribute to the songwriting? I mean, i met the band on 2017. I don't know very much about them.

    P.S: Srry if my english is bad, thank you :)

  79. M.... K....

    The true message hidden within the entirety of this already amazing album is this, The awakening an transcendence to a higher understanding and reasoning called Consciousness. Notice the center of the flower on the hero's skull, It's the mind's eye, open, but at the cost of knowing, feeling and understanding pain and our hidden truth. It's a hell of a challenge to tap into it, but if you do, you'll know. \m/ - Kenway

    M.... K....

    Master Kenway wow man that's some true words right there like to bend your ear sometime hit me up if you got a moment
