Between The Buried And Me - Mordecai Lyrics






[Day one]
Asleep mid-sentence- the words fell apart.
No one is listening anyway.
This day will soon turn black and my "wants and needs" will spill on my burning ashes.
I learned to be selfish today...
I learned to be alive.
These things I care for are for my personal gain and my person happiness only.
Why should I sit in your chairs and satisfy your standards.
I've done it all before and I've confused myself a thousand times.
The tragic day that I call morality just doesn't do it for me anymore.
No more choices, just standing in the cold.
The day will turn black and I will have either lived or died.
Asleep mid-sentence- my words fall to the ground.
Swept into this dreamland.
Economic satisfaction, never succeed.
But happiness has its place.
Justice will not lie in your corner.
New day towards death, only compassion for my own needs make my need necessary.

[Day two]
Throw myself in the corner; I have nothing to complain about here.
A tragic day seems too peaceful to most, spoiled ambitious turned my heart to black.
I'm figuring out this realization process- the process to never look upon bitter ground.
Living dreams, loving dreams, awakening to what I've always dreamt of.
The familiar sound of the lovely laugh from the love of my life will keep the notes coming.
From the reciting of the show,
From the plip and the shevanel,
From the grind that annoys, and the sarcasm, they all hate...
Forever I worship.
I'll kill, love, and hate for all of you.

Thank you for the best part of my life.

    I will never forget this song. The first time i heard it was about a year ago when i was 19 and it was the same week i broke up with my girlfriend and every night i would get in my car and just blast the last three minutes of the song on repeat and now every time i listen to the song its kinda depressing but beautiful at the same time.

  15. D.... 1....

    I switch from At the drive in to this

  16. a.... j....

    4:21 sick double bass

  17. a.... j....

  21. L.... e....

    Classic

  22. t.... ....

    Still one of my favorite songs.. cheers

  23. J.... T....

    I remember going grocery shopping with my mom when I was in middle school (I'm 27 now!! So 2005) and making my mom listen to this and she loved the ending/2nd part so much! I haven't listened to this song in well over 10 years, hard to imagine... but it still is TRULY a beautiful piece of art!

  24. U.... ....

    The nostalgia gives me chills.

  25. S.... P....

    Some good guitar tone in this.

  26. Y.... F....

    I love the lyrics !

  27. L.... M....

    This song reminds me of a tragic opera....and that's fucking awesome !!!!

  28. A.... K....

    I met these guys at T-Shirt Place in Southland Mall in Taylor, Michigan. Had to have been back in 2005-2006. All we had with us when we found out they were there (by chance) was some McDonalds. The dudes signed our McDouble, and thus, the BTBAMburger was born. They had the pics on their website gallery for a while. Finally, after a while of it chilling in his room, Domenic's mom threw it away. We were devastated. Wendy, you bitch. Lest we forget.

    A.... K....

    I also met these guys after a show in like 2005 in Arizona, was like 14 at the time

  29. N.... E....

    Ok so which bandmate kinda sounds like daron when he sings?

  30. J.... W....

    Who else will forever listen to BTBAM?

  31. W.... F....

    Love this song 2019

  32. A.... A....

    The next the dillinger escape plan

  33. S.... M....

    2019, anyone?

  34. J.... 0....

    I love when paul comes in with that clean solo. I assume its a blues scale hes playing in. If anyone can enlighten me on what kind of scale it is that be awesome. It sounds amazing

  35. d.... i....

    this song is still amazing

  36. J.... V....

    All the people who disliked this didnt even make it to the end

  37. N.... ....

    3:50 on.....shivers on shivers

    N.... ....

    That drumming tho

  38. D.... D....

    Umm they suck and people listening.

  39. m.... ....

    Regular show...

  40. R.... K....

    If you want to like early BTBAM, don’t start with early BTBAM screaming lol. Start with, in this order, a day to remember, August Burns Red, then BTBAM and thank me later.

  41. C.... ....

    2019 and still amazing

  42. S.... S....

    Can’t believe it took me 15 years to realize how much “Reaction” by BTBAM reminds me of Aphex’s Twin’s “Stone in Focus” 😆

  43. t.... t....

    2019, yellow eyes vs mordecai

  44. D.... G....

    The ending off this song has been giving me goosebumps since I was about 13

  45. R.... V....

    Any old guys/gals get sent back to high school?

    R.... V....

    Ral Val the first time I heard this song was in high school, it leaves me with such a nostalgic feeling every time I listen

    R.... V....

    I didn't get sent to high school, but I did get sent to my early childhood. My mom would have this band playing all the time and it's all very nostalgic to me

  46. L.... F....

    Still awesome!! 2019!!!!

  47. D.... Y....

    Still have my black BTBAM hoodie from high school, this song wraps me up in overwhelming feeling of nostalgia, and i love it.

  48. P.... R....

    Constant reminder of why BtBaM is my favourite band of All Time

  49. R.... ....

    This should at least have a million views, classic fucking song. This song got me into progressive metal back in the early 2000s.

  50. T.... L....

    This is amazing song

  51. S.... A....

    I've been to many fantastic concerts in my life, but it's kind of sad knowing I've already peaked by seeing them play Colors entirely and then finishing with this.

  52. D.... A....

    I do not get bored hearing this beautiful song!

  53. R.... R....

    Best BTBAM song ever. It's what got me into them. This will always be a classic. Wish they still did songs like this but I still love the later material.

  54. T.... B....

    Old school!😝

  55. H.... G....

    Haven’t heard this song in 12 years. Woke up this morning with it my head and just had to play it.

  56. M.... S....

    So this is how feelings sound, huh...

  57. m.... j....

    Holy shit this song is hot garbage

    m.... j....

    matthew jacinto i’m glad I wasn’t born with that excrement sewage tank you call a brain

  58. T.... ....

    This album turns 15 this october.

    T.... ....

    Crazy,I remember when this was fairly new and was awaiting Alaska

  59. D.... A....

    3:15 Wondefull song lyrics

  60. Z.... ....

    "Forever i worship
    I'll kill, love, and hate for all of you





    Thank you for the best part of my life." , me and this song have been through so much , thank you between the buried and me for helping me through rough moments and making happy moments the most exciting of times

  61. D.... W....

    Fuuuck. This brings me back.

  62. t.... ....

    ne kadar güzel ya, götüne kazık sokulurmuşçasına bağırıyorlar ama sanat işte, bu işte amk herkes anlamıyor ne acayip 3,4 bin adamla aynı fikirde olmak güzel

    t.... ....

    not= ironi değil la

  63. D.... A....

    3:16 Good!

  64. A.... ....

    MASTERPIECE!!! When the song changes tempo it's like magic.

  65. e.... ....

    e.... ....

    emericanchaos some of these lyrics are wrong lol

    e.... ....

    Plenty of this is wrong

    e.... ....

    Josh Clark more than some

  66. W.... C....

    Still in love with that part at 0:46 to 0:48!!!!!!!!

  67. K.... K....

    I think it's more of a sign that it's just in you're head... this video means nothing :/

  68. K.... K....

    How TF does a band like BTBAM turn into such a pop punk band at the end? so GOOOD!!!!!

  69. C.... ....

    Fuck yeah, this track still holds up.

  70. T.... G....

    The mixing in this track is filthy as

  71. b.... ....

    The memories this brings...

  72. I.... ....

    2004/5 forever

  73. J.... H....

    The ending.....

    I’m glad I gave prog metal a listen! :)

  74. G.... g....

    saw BTBAM once live and it was pure fuckin gold! Goosebumps and butterflies through and through and.... through...

    G.... g....

    Some of you late bloomers will never feel that

  75. H.... t....

    I made 385,953 youtube accounts so I could like this song 385,953 times.

  76. N.... M....

    Any glass casket fans in the house?

    N.... M....

    Glasscasket is dope

    N.... M....

    Still have faith in that 3rd album coming out one day. Glass casket and necrophagist. We can only dream

    N.... M....

    @thefrankiepalmeri I think you switched it around dude

    N.... M....

    @Life is Peachy GC>BTBAM

    N.... M....

    @thefrankiepalmeri The same mistake again?

  77. k.... ....

    From the reciting of our shows, from the Plip & the Shevanel, from the grind that annoys and the sarcasm they all hate.

    Still listening in 2018.

  78. A.... O....

    Such amazing memories

  79. R.... ....

    will we see something this brutal on the new album? Fingers crossed.

    R.... ....

    Ryan Kennedy Condemned to the Gallows is close...ish

    R.... ....

    I honestly dont think they'll make another album as brutal as this or the self titled, but im sure they'll always be heavy.

  80. S.... i....

    2018 and this song still gets me

  81. J.... M....

    this song slaps, but i geek every time i hear the lovely love from the love of my life.

  82. 1.... ....

    So beautiful. Btbam is my litmus test for whether i can be friends with someone or not

  83. M.... C....

    Imagine if all Metalcore bands were this good.

  84. P.... B....

    I saw you guys way back in 2005 and I remember this song blew me the fuck away

  85. T.... ....

    Its so damn weird seeing other members in BTBAM lol

  86. K.... ....

    ""Forever I worship. I'll kill love and hate for all of you. Thank you for the best part of my life."
    I've spent years trying to find these lyrics. To the point that I hear them in my head.

  87. S.... M....

    I finally had to make an account just to say, this song is perfection. My absolute favorite song of all time! Fuck yeah BTBAM!

  88. C.... C....

    One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Brutal and melodic with deep fucking meaning. Btbam was one of my first shows and I'll never forget it

  89. C.... O....

    The video doesn't match the solo.

  90. R.... Q....

    =::( 4:30 --->

  91. G.... P....

    Well I'm the coment 666 and it's my favorite song of btbam, today was a good day!!

  92. J.... B....

    Dillinger Escape plan did it first. Then came these guys. These guys are so good. We played a show with them in Cleveland. They are very cocky but they are totally allowed to be. Much respect.

  93. B.... ....

    Still my favorite ending to any song ever.

  94. N.... S....

    I’ve never been into emo pop music till now!

    N.... S....

    SNIFF PREWORKOUT emo pop music? Lol

  95. T.... D....

    Just saw them for the colors 10th anniversary tour. They played this as their encore.

    T.... D....

    Tyler Duncan same! I'm only 14 and it was my first concert ever and the best one ever. Got the pleasure of seeing this amazing band yesterday

    T.... D....

    What a cool first concert. ive been to many concerts. seeing Colors live was by far the greatest musical experience ive had.

    T.... D....

    Ten years since that came out wow I am old.

  96. S.... M....

    Soo happy they played this as the encore on the 10yr colors anniversary tour last night. I cried.

  97. N.... N....

    Listening to BTBAM puts me on a musical roller coaster of awesome. One second they do heavines, then so slow-ish type melodic riffs, and then slow and back to heavy. I love this band more than porn

  98. N.... S....

    This outro is so touching on every emotional, awake and a heightened level of focus ever.
