Chevelle - Ruse Lyrics






Sell me some love
Led by a ruse
Set up like a lens
That looks into rooms
Sees colors
Cast in a world
This roundabout path
Makes two rights and two wrongs
Till it hurts find me

Let's discover your emotions
We'll visualize that fevered side we lost

It's way too hard to pin us
Hard to pin us down
If you haven't felt that fire in awhile
And its now-or-never lies
Just live a little more
Try climbing over any
Unfortunate you say
Never in this setting
Young freedom has its price and
We all bend these rules
So nervously

Let's discover your emotions
We'll visualize that fevered side we lost
Are we blinding those emotions
Will you decide defeat or find it all

Set it free

Chevelle Ruse Comments
  1. R.... ....

    I wouldn't use the word compare but influence. King Crimson influenced Tool and they influenced Chevelle. They have similar sounding riffs but the compositions aren't comparable.

    R.... ....

    This is definitely less artsy than Tool.

  2. T.... C....

    "Let's discover your emotions."

  3. J.... P....

    What a great album to come back to. I guess I'll put it back n the CD player n the whip

  4. T.... K....

    Wich year it is?

  5. T.... K....

    Revenge

  6. E.... ....

    I was listening to 'Don't Believe' by Seether and the riffs seemed so familiar, I was kinda imagining Ruse's before I figured out which song it was.

    I like this one (and the song) better though :)

  7. N.... L....

    She said he didn’t show him as a defense mechanism for being wrong

  8. N.... L....

    When I asked my grandma the clone question to test her she failed but she also said her brother skinned the snakes and left them in he sink and when I said well your father must have showed him and done it too and she said no it was just her brother when I remember her telling me a story about her dad doing it so crunch the probabilities of her brother skinning snakes and not being shown by his dad and ask yourself do I want to take any chances hat reality is now sci fi and there are wheels in motion you would have to see to believe unless your me

  9. M.... H....

    unbelievable, 3guys ,that much music. best of the best

  10. n.... ....

    In order, here is my order of favorites:

    1. Arise
    2. Ruse
    3. Prima Donna
    4. Envy
    5. Glimpse of the Con
    6. Clones
    7. Pinata
    8. Revenge
    9. The Meddler
    10. Same Old Trip
    11. Hats off to the Bull
    12. Face to the Floor

    Not sure why their hits are at the bottom! lol don't get me wrong they are great too, the whole fucking album is amazing.

  11. M.... ....

    Equal measure pleasure and pain; I could cry with how good this is. They're legends. I love and hate them.

  12. D.... 2....

    HAUNTING

  13. s.... ....

    I like the newer stuff and all, but this, this is the real thing.

  14. D.... Y....

    Great Tune. So Underrated

  15. M.... M....

    chevelle the best!!! no doubt!!! fuckin Amazing! !!

  16. D.... 2....

    Dear God this should b studied by philosophers for centuries.

  17. M.... M....

    chevelle defenition of "perfect muzic""

  18. E.... H....

    Why don't they play this live?

    E.... H....

    Eric Hansen They do sometimes. I've seen it live twice

  19. D.... T....

    Who could dislike this perfect song...gives me shivers still, 5 years after hearing it the first time.

  20. D.... 2....

    Deftones, Chevelle,Tool and Rage that's all I need.

    D.... 2....

    Not a bad choice for jams but check out space slug!

  21. L.... V....

    Oh yeah

  22. R.... P....

    Love this track

  23. M.... d....

    2:47 La Rosa De Guadalupe ❤❤❤❤

  24. J.... J....

    This band has put out a lot of filler ever since This Kind of Thinking but when they get it right it really hits home.

  25. P.... T....

    1:50 "Just live a little more" is the essence of Chevelle. Extremely powerful guitar backed with equally powerful vocals. Best band on the face of the earth right now.

    P.... T....

    I thought he was saying, "just let go a little more...?"

    P.... T....

    Just heard it again...you're right! I like your lyrics hella better.

  26. A.... M....

    Brilliant piece of art this song !

  27. E.... W....

    This... This is food for my soul!

  28. b.... h....

    best rock voice ever

    b.... h....

    Yepp!!!

  29. M.... C....

    if you are into chevelle at all and read up on there likes dislikes and inspirations, they state that tool played a big part in their genre of music and was the main cause of inspirations along with deftones

  30. K.... A....

    I was going to name my daughter after this band but I had a boy

    K.... A....

    lol I tried but his father had a fit saying no son of his would be named after a truck

    K.... A....

    Kayshea Alfred Chevelle is a car not a truck

  31. L.... f....

    This fuckin song kicks some serious ass

  32. R.... ....

    What an absolutely chilling chorus. Pete's voice reigns supreme, again. Fucking amazing.

    R.... ....

    There's something incredibly touching, tender yet immensely powerful about his vocal performances isn't there.

  33. E.... L....

    Parts of this song, especially the intro, sound just like 10 Years. His voice comes very close to Jesse's in this song. 

  34. J.... R....

    crusing down the street in my chevelle listening to chevelle.

    J.... R....

    was just thinking that's my dad's fav car. this is my fav band

  35. M.... N....

    same here

  36. M.... A....

    I agree with you, also, your gorgeous!

  37. G.... C....

    With Vena Sera coming a close second :D

    G.... C....

    Gary Clark III I personally like Vena Sera better than this album

  38. M.... H....

    SET IT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. A.... R....

    of the world's best

  40. A.... R....

    of the best in chevelle

  41. w.... w....

    or pinata

  42. J.... M....

    I'm ashamed to listen to the same music as people who cant fabricate a legible sentence.

  43. W.... W....

    Lets cruise a blunt to this, !@#$ ya

  44. b.... ....

    Tool. my roommates don't pick up their dogs poop anyway

  45. S.... R....

    Is this anyone else's favorite song on the album? This is the best song to cruise to!

    S.... R....

    By far my favorite. Only "Arise" comes a close 2nd.

    S.... R....

    Might be my favorite Chevelle song. Granted through the years i get into different moods and feel different songs more or less so its hard to say with such a good band... But yes this is my favorite but Hats off to the Bull

  46. R.... d....

    essa tinha quer ser mais valorizada mundialmente eles tocam muito

  47. T.... ....

    Everytime I listen to this song in my truck.. I think that sound at 0:39-0:40 is my low fuel light coming on all the time.. lol.

  48. L.... ....

    Yolo bro.

  49. b.... ....

    will the reason they say about tol is bcuz chevelle was inspired by tool and their music is somewhat compare to what they do thats why their name keeps coming up on every video you see some bands are inspired by others

  50. z.... ....

    Esta tmb en una cancionzasa,deberian ponerla seguido en la radio y no linkin park,evanescense,y los clasicos del rock,algunos ya estamos hartos(this song is amazing too,the radio people must to play it and not the same rock artists,linkin park,evanescence,all clasic rock)

  51. B.... ....

    Jokes on you...I DON'T HAVE A DOG >:) (Tool rules).

  52. C.... ....

    but , i like tool...

  53. J.... ....

    Are you actually fucking serious? *Loeffler you mug, stop trying to look cool.

  54. j.... s....

    Unlike most previous Chevelle albums, this one took me awhile to get into. But now, it's one of my all time favorites!!! Seriously, songs like Ruse, The Meddler, Envy, and Clones!!! Plus all the singles are great too!!! i disagree with what most people say, I think this stands up equally to Sci-Fi Crimes :)

  55. G.... A....

    You wish. Don't get me wrong...I love Chevelle but Tool is on a whole other level.

    G.... A....

    Nobody is calling Chevelle Tool. They got SOME inspiration from Tool. That's about it.

    G.... A....

    this comment 😍😍😍

  56. e.... ....

    I only feel compelled to say something when people mistakenly say Chevelle sounds the "same" as Tool. Some people need to understand the difference between influenced and comparing versus sounding the same. Tool is amazing and so is Chevelle, for that I agree with you. Rock on \m/

  57. e.... ....

    You're welcome...I just felt somebody had to put it out there cuz damn, people are so quick to judge without actually doing any research. Helmet is pretty awesome, they have that 90's feel. Go Chevelle!

    e.... ....

    Lol when you couldn't reply to youtube comments^

  58. N.... D....

    Why get so pissy about Chevelle being compared to Tool? If anything it should be an honor to them. Regardless, they are both masters of the Alternative rock and metal genre.

  59. j.... ....

    Thank you, an intelligent comment. All you ever see is people comparing Chevelle to Tool, when in fact you're right, they sound a lot more like Helmet. It's a damn shame more people don't know about Helmet, they influenced a lot of bands and get no credit at all.

  60. J.... .....

    desmotiva que una banda asi tengaaa pocos fanss chevelleee manda lml

  61. S.... G....

    I don't get why people compare this band to Tool. I would say that Chevelle is more akin to a modern day Stone Temple Pilots than Tool.

  62. e.... ....

    lists some of their influences* I wrote that ignorantly.

  63. e.... ....

    Chevelle list one of their influences as tool and helmet, so why arent people talking about helmet? Cuz they are not as popular but they sound way more like helmet....not the same.Chevelle is a beast of its own...every band has influences....smdh

  64. C.... ....

    Seems like alot of people in here have "discovered they're emotions"... eh? See what I did there? EH...EH...? Yeah, I'm pretty awesome. >.<

  65. M.... ....

    AND YOU WERE FUCKING BORN. DEAL WITH IT

  66. H.... V....

    Yes they are, every video you upload has a choice to monetize it or not.

  67. D.... K....

    Hahaha! Me neither! Pete LAFFERTY. XD

  68. i.... w....

    HAHA I KNO xD THIS MADE MEH LAUGH SO HARD HAHA!! I KANT STOP LAUGHING xDDDD

  69. D.... K....

    Lafferty. LOL

  70. n.... ....

    BUT THATS JUST IT
    THERES FUCKING ADS

  71. n.... ....

    thats so maynard can draw upon emotion for the songs. this was a good post until you said that instrumental crap

  72. n.... ....

    oh. so who controls whether the video has a skip button on the ad then?

  73. m.... ....

    The advertisements aren't placed by the channel that uploaded the video.

  74. n.... ....

    cheers nigga

  75. n.... ....

    i didnt quite understand if you're blaming me for that or if you're agreeing with me

  76. n.... ....

    i get more pissed off about the advertisements at the start of the video to be honest, the uploader's leeching money from chevelles work

  77. K.... L....

    My favorite song Of this album!!

  78. R.... K....

    I LOVE this band

  79. o.... ....

    Enough with the Tool comments you fuckin' Tools!

  80. M.... ....

    The like won't let me like this anymore, a tragedy D:

  81. T.... H....

    this song is fucking awesome !

  82. C.... ....

    I must mention these few facts that seperate the two. #1 Chevelle does not have Danny Carey .Second their timings are way different Chevelle sticks to the more simple 4's and occasional 6. Meanwhile, Tool plays off time going from 3 to 11 and i think ive counted ever further then that. They are a instrumental band first and foremost.. just watch them live the stage is set for the rest of the band while Maynard hides in the back.. if you want to hear him sing go listen to A Perfect Circle..

    C.... ....

    maynard doesnt even like being in his own music videos for any of his bands, and almost every chevelle video shows them perform

  83. A.... R....

    You are no better than anybody else that has commented about Tool on the videos.
    I can explain to you why... They both are melodic with low tuned and aggressive guitars. Both use a lot of bass to back up their guitar parts in harmony. If you like one, you'll most likely like the other. If you don't like Tool then t -_- t

  84. o.... ....

    OMG Keenan and Loeffler's vocals together under the same roof? Minds will be blown....

  85. Z.... M....

    It's Pete Loeffler dumb fuck.

  86. A.... R....

    Chevelle/Tool tour? Would be sick. Just saying :)

  87. g.... ....

    tool would be an awesome band if they had the lead singer from a perfect circle XD

  88. R.... ....

    2:50 - 3:05 ...the shivers are so powerful my whole body is shaking,,

  89. d.... ....

    STOP TALKING ABOUT TOOL!!!!!! STFU & ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!

  90. m.... ....

    awesome ;))

  91. A.... M....

    Thank you for saying that. Tool wouldn't be too WITHOUT MAYNARD. If maynard never made tool CHEVELLE WOULDN'T EXIST either.

  92. C.... ....

    Pete is a better singer than Maynard, and Im saying this as a singer myself, but people are just more fascinated with maynard, thats all

  93. M.... S....

    It's Pete Loeffler. lol

  94. f.... g....

    the best song on the album.!!!!

  95. N.... S....

    Me and this song get along together real well.

  96. G.... A....

    Yeah I got confused with the spelling

  97. S.... ....

    it's loeffler...

  98. S.... ....

    his name is pete loeffler, not lafferty, by the way...

  99. G.... A....

    Chevelle singer and guitarist
