Bayside - Devotion And Desire Lyrics
Trying to create something that's not there.
A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end.
And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again,
don't think that I really cared for who or what.
So for now I'll just have to keep it shut.
If you're not ready, you're not ready.
Please stop acting like you are.
How could I know
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
And I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.
My mouth's shooting blanks.
Situation's unbearable,
Now anyone is free to waltz right in.
My temple's been invaded
and there's nobody guarding it.
All over this lonely life,
but what's so wrong with being all alone?
Alone's the only way I've ever known.
If you're not ready, you're not ready.
Please stop acting like you are.
How could I know
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
And I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.
I'm pleading cause this kills and it's still bleeding.
My darling I'm taking my life back to start healing.
How could I know
that everything you say are lies about devotion and desire?
And I know the spark inside your eyes
was just the match I used to set myself on fire.

Bayside Devotion And Desire Comments
I kissed a guy for the first time last night and he sent me this song this morning. What does that mean
This is "True Emo". Not the emo ruined by greedy corporations trying to milk off every dollar from you by over saturating it with generic chord progressions and non original lyrical themes.
Bayside knows how to play emo the right way. I feel that they play more of a tougher emo with more originality in their lyrics.

In 2019 my temple is still unguarded. Desolate even.
Listen to the whole song at .50 speed....thank me later.
Took me 2 weeks: I finally remembered the name of the only “emo” band I was in love with....🥰 oh Nostalgia. I feel so warm inside. Thank you internet’s.
Thank you buzzfeed quiz of reminding me of this gem
Cheese. But what a song
Bringing me back to 2006;)
Anyone listening to this in 2019?
Who is here from NCAA baseball 06
FINALLY. IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND TODAY I COMPLETELY FORGOT IT AND ALL I COULD REMEMBER WAS EMOTION BUT THEN IT WAS DEVOTION AND I REMEMBERED THE TOON IN THE BATHROOM AND IM SO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND IT
This is the worst music I have ever heard.
Trying to create something that's not there
A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end
And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again
Don't think that I really cared for who or what
So for now I'll just have to keep it shut
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're not ready, you're not ready
Please stop acting like you are
[Chorus]
How could I know
That everything you say are lies
About devotion and desire?
And I know the spark
Inside your eyes was just the match
I used to set myself on fire
[Verse 2]
My mouth's shooting blanks
Situation's unbearable
I've gotten vulnerable
Now anyone is free to waltz right in
My temple's been invaded
And there's nobody guarding it
All over this lonely life
But what's so wrong with being all alone?
Alone's the only way I've ever known
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're not ready, you're not ready
Please stop acting like you are
[Chorus]
How could I know
That everything you say are lies
About devotion and desire?
And I know the spark
Inside your eyes was just the match
I used to set myself on fire
[Bridge]
And I'm pleading
'Cause this kills and
It's still bleeding
My darling
I'm taking
My life back
To start healing
[Chorus]
How could I know
That everything you say are lies
About devotion and desire?
And I know the spark
Inside your eyes was just the match
I used to set myself on fire

Quick question
Bayside or my chemical romance?
Director: How shaky you want the camera?
Bayside: Yes.
Not even sure how I remembered them tonight out of the blue. I'm glad I did
Their new stuff just came out! Check it out, it’s so good.
@Carissa Rose recently did 👍 good stuff
That fire guitar and hard drumming @2:05 🔥
I was first introduced to this song on the MVP Baseball 2006 soundtrack. Soundtrack also had Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein and Aiden.

Got to sing with them on stage to this song warped tour 2014 in Pittsburgh PA! Greatest day in my life. 2019 still jamming to this. Love these guys ❤❤❤
Why does this song remind me of super natural?
Could this be considered "True Emo"
Yes Sir this is "True Emo". Not the emo ruined by greedy corporations trying to milk off every dollar from you by over saturating it with generic chord progressions and non original lyrical themes.
Bayside knows how to play emo the right. I feel that they have more of a tougher emo with more originality in their lyrics.

I'm 26 and I still jam Bayside. I first heard this song on the victory DVD and found a shit ton of awesome bands too.
Im 28. Been listening since 15. Bayside is immortal.
Not sure why this band isn't bigger than they are
0:49 When you get tricked by a woman to sell your soul or die like when you get it
VICTORY!
This is awful. Was more awful is these comments and thinking about all of you who had to listen to this crap back in junior high Or high School. You guys had nothing like seriously nothing to listen to and your generation. My generation had Nirvana Soundgarden Pearl jam Alice in chains Stone Temple pilots Green day bush nine inch nails Junior high.. then high school we had Pantera Korn Marilyn Manson Deftones..
I was trying to remember this for so long thank God
Talk about watered down punk. Man, this is just so bad, bad as in terrible.
Thank you, Cuestar, for making me find this amazing song! I don't even know how many times I have hit repeat already!
Found out this morning after a long and very tiring shift at work that my husband has been cheating on me. This song is my heart right now.
Found thiz song on a sample cd at warped 2013. Good shit
This song is amazing, the guitar solo is incredible. Do more of their music has guitar solos? This song was the jam back in the day
A lot of Bayside songs has guitar solos. They remind me of Sum 41 meets Alkaline Trio
How am I now watching this?!? Ugh
BAYSIDE IS A CULT....... AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!
It’s like Alkaline Trio and Hawthorne Heights had a baby
1:43 only black guy in the room
2018 whos still listening?
2019. Since middle school.. have my bayside bird tatted on my thigh 🖤
Wait a minute, is he a Jojo character?
CLASSIC <3
the lyrics are just too relatable
absolutely destroyed me the day i found out beatz died, we all miss you, but i'm glad we have you in this video to remember you by
2007's Nostalgia
Gah I had soooooooo much fuckin REAL angst as a teenager in the early 2000's lol
Best song ever!!!
06 feels like yesterday...
Sound a lot like rise against
High school jams
The opening guitar lick always gets me going.
how the hell have I never seen the music video for this? I've been listing to this album since 2005.
Discovering bayside in 2018 could’ve used this song back in high school days
Oh man, I remember watching this music video on Fuse on Sunday Mornings on "Victory TV", good fucking times. I feel so old, that was 13 years ago...and I was 13 when watching
ARTV Hey, Neighbor!!!! I just saw them for the second time!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
This was my sssshhhhhhttttttt in middle school!!!!! OML ITS SO GOOD
If i didn't listen to it for a week I'd dieeeeeeeeeeeeee
Why this guy doesn't fix his teeth XD
A lot if this music brings me back to the most painful parts of life. If it wasn't for music like this to bring me up from really dark places i dont know where i would be.
I had a bad day. Listened to this, full blast, on repeat, singing along, and speeding heavily, until I made it home. I feel better now.
Still jammin'this in 2018
how does this have under 1mill
I'm playing this in my band PrimRose. Can't wait for my next show.
Heeeelllllll yeah
I remember.... being an adult the first time I heard this
One of the good songs ;D
I like how clear the vocals sound.
My dad introduces them to me when I'm still in the elementary school, I'm feeling kinda old now
RIP John Beatz!!
2017?😋
Wow that lisp is strong as hell now that I look closely
I've watched this video countless times... Duality of man.. is what I think... I seen God's present.. and then disappear... We all have a choice.. to live in God's glowing present.. or live in the dark...
Im like the only one at my school who knows this band (and junior varsity,the audition,the forcast,actio action, bayside,ETC)
I love bayside !
Tyler posey brought me here . I heart this already. ♥️
Anyone else goin on a late night nostalgia trip?
This won't get boring
Mad love for this band.
Im only playing this because my roomate is going to see them tonight and i was curious who they were.
Lol Anthony is one of my dad's friends I've met him he's really chill
fucking victory records dvd sampler. why cant i find all the bands that were on it?
Daaaaaaaamn. Nostalgic
If the nuns at my church looked like this is start going
Cant believe this band isn't more popular. I personally really like their sound. Not a big fan of their lyrics, but I was expecting after not hearing about them for 7 years or so that they would be a little more popular.
i been listening to bayside since 2007! my all time favorite band/musicians ever!!!
This band is awesome!
Yes
Harder
brings back memories of driving around taking shots of Jack Daniel's and popping Xanax blasting this song....crazy times...
