Circa Survive - Holding Someone's Hair Back Lyrics






Don't say a word, don't be grateful if I ever made you laugh.
Let's make believe what's at stake here's more than just your reputation.
She's got the photos but no recollection.
He's got the motive but no transportation.
Purely courteous across my chest.
Are you cutting me out now, after crawling inside?

Turn away your head.
What do I deserve, what do I deserve instead?
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

We're offering nothing but the best accommodations.
Just tell us who you are, just tell us who you are.
We're offering nothing but the best accommodations.
Just tell us who you are, just tell us who you are.

Turn away your head.
What do I deserve, what do I deserve instead?
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

Circa Survive Holding Someone's Hair Back Comments
  1. z.... ....

    2019 anyone??

  2. n.... p....

    If anyone hasn't noticed before, this album is actually on a never-ending loop.
    Listen to the end of House of Leaves and you notice is leads into this song. If you remember the plot of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" then this makes so much sense considering this album is inspired by the movie.

    n.... p....

    neverending pocket I’ve had this album since I was a sophomore in HS, when On Letting Go came out. I never noticed that but I didn’t usually listen to the last track anyway. I was usually stuck on this, great golden baby, oh hello, and I’m fear and faith

  3. L.... B....

    Yep still here in 2019 man can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I first started listening 20 to 30

  4. G.... S....

    GE....SaVX...

  5. D.... L....

    Man I haven't listen to this band in a loooong time, I just had a "memory" on Facebook from 7 years ago and decided to look em up again.. damnit how did I ever forget about this band?!

  6. n.... p....

    This album is an endless loop. The end of the last song plays into the beginning of this one. Just like the movie.

  7. R.... V....

    2019 and she's still a banger

  8. O.... 3....

    Album of the world

  9. F.... B....

    best song on album

  10. L.... W....

    Happy new year:)

  11. B.... D....

    Turn awaaaay your heaaad.. what do I deserve.. what do I deserve insteaaaad

  12. N.... P....

    I've been through a lot of shit. Lived in a bunch of places. Been in and out of money. Literally experienced so fucking much in my life.

    But god dammit, I fucking always always always come back to Circa Survive. Anthony is a hidden gem

  13. B.... ....

    whole album is legit classic.

  14. -.... D....

    Turn away your head.
    What do I deserve?
    What do I deserve?
    Me:
    *I N S T E A D*

  15. B.... C....

    If you see stumble on this video a year from now and feel okay, I'm proud of you.

    B.... C....

    Holy shit past me is baller as fuck

  16. O.... ....

    by far my fav circa song, they have so much depth to them plus "its nothing personal your an embarrassment" punches you in the gut

  17. B.... R....

    2018 still love this song makes me feel something i just dont feel listening to other bands/music love this whole album

  18. M.... N....

    It's nothing personal you're an embarrassment

  21. B.... Y....

    lol im stoned and the ad that played had a guy eating at work on lunch and he called his food "naughty" smacked it with a fork.Then this fucking ladies voice comes in and says "food you want to fork" then here I am typing out my story 2 minutes later.

  22. n.... m....

    probably not alone when I say this album has gotten me through so many tough times. This album resonates so hard. Queue nostalgia. This album takes me back to so many different mindsets throughout my life lulz, I fucking love these d00ds.

  23. L.... ....

    I can't sing that high... it's frustrating :'c

  24. B.... ....

    1:30 - I've always loved the way that they all kind of go their own direction, playing their own detached parts, then come together on "You're an embarrassment". Then Anthony and the Guitar follow the same melody, on "Don't cut me out". Don't know if that will make sense to everyone but..

    Chills, every time, for 10 years now.

    B.... ....

    Bapbo I like that someone else appreciates that

  25. v.... ....

    Reminds me of Alexisonfire a bit musically

  26. D.... ....

    3 words; LOVE CIRCA SURVIVE

  27. H.... R....

    DON'T CUT ME OUT

  28. D.... W....

    Juturna will always have my heart

  29. C.... A....

    11 years later and I play this most out of all the music I listen too

  30. E.... R....

    1:52 gets me all the time!!!!

    E.... R....

    Edwin Ramos Me too dude. Sick fucking guitar playing.

  31. K.... P....

    They kind of remind me of Saison. Am I alone with that? Lol

    K.... P....

    The vocalist Anthony Green is the vocalist of Saosin actually.

    K.... P....

    Aryonsen glad to know I'm not crazy haha. Also makes sense why I have always been drawn to this band :) thank you for that!

    K.... P....

    was the vocalist

    K.... P....

    and is again

    K.... P....

    No wonder why I liked them instantly

  32. a.... ....

    Ive always come back to Circa Survive

    a.... ....

    I always stay

    a.... ....

    What brought you back to this place?

  33. Y.... M....

    Senior year of high school when this came out. Still jam this.

    Y.... M....

    Yung Magonelli I was in 8th grade lol

  34. T.... ....

    Did shrooms recently and listened to this whole album....wow,I could literally feel all the emotion and tension in this record. Felt as if they were playing right in front of me. This record was already special to me but I encountered a newfound love for it :)

    T.... ....

    I did. Trippy af. They are my inspiration. Like letters to me, been riding in my mind. Best feeling ever

    T.... ....

    Trip to On Letting Go. It's even better.

    T.... ....

    The better the drugs the better the music

    T.... ....

    Lolll dumbassss

    T.... ....

    You sound like me in 2005 haha

  35. v.... l....

  36. v.... l....

  37. O.... C....

    O.... C....

    Vomiting

  38. D.... T....

    ivanka loves it

  39. c.... ....

    best circa song right here.

  40. S.... L....

    this whole album is legit

  41. S.... D....

    awesome album art

  42. I.... A....

    love it since it came out

  43. U.... O....

    It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet ;)

  44. M.... M....

    These guys sound way bare when you're stoned

    M.... M....

    No, it doesn't sound like Descensus, maybe something off Blue Sky Noise or Juturna. But honestly, it sounds like Translating The Name. That albums is epic man, you haven't listened to it all the way.

    M.... M....

    @Robert Lewis
    it does not sound like translating the name.....

    M.... M....

    It most certainly does, some of it. Other parts sound like Saosin. But this album is a great blend of what they used to be and what they had grown into as musicians. If you don't hear Translating The Name EP in Along The Shadow then you weren't listening to it when it came out.

    M.... M....

    Best lsd experience

    M.... M....

    Modest Mind25 Used to think like that, but this album is haunting listening to it sober making it a better listen that way. Don’t have to be stoned to listen to music

  45. G.... ....

  46. E.... M....

  51. T.... C....

    B.... ....

    +BettyWhitePwnsI just saw them last night. It was so amazing!

    B.... ....

    BettyWhitePwns i

  57. J.... H....

    Currently this is the first song I've ever listened to by them. I'm a huge fan of post hardcore and metalcore, but also a huge fan of indie rock and post rock. I've heard this band's name before but never bothered to look them up. But after seeing that they're touring with From Indian Lakes, which is one of my favorite bands of all time, I had to. And I'm loving what I'm hearing.

    J.... H....

    If you let them, they will help you explore the depths of your mind. Not always the positives sides, but deep as hell.

  58. J.... D....

    Omfg, do you guys realize it's been TEN YEARS since this came pouring sweetly from my hi school friend's shitty stereo cd player, we discovered this for our area and wow, were we right.  lol.

    J.... D....

    They're doing a Juturna 10 year anniversary tour!

    J.... D....

    Haha same here..

  59. J.... K....

    The memories...
    DXM...lost in the corridors of my mind.
    What a lost soul i was 

    J.... K....

    Around the time this came out brother? We were lost together. Ever hear tsoaf or deloused in the comatorium on dex? Those both blew my fucking mind. The "memories" your comment brought back...

    J.... K....

    @Blake Richardson TSOAF is mind melting dude 

    J.... K....

    @Blake Richardson I'm all about the Volta, so I get Deloused.. but what's TSOAF?

    J.... K....

    @Brett Leverett They're The Sound of Animals Fighting. A supergroup with Anthony Green from Circa Survive and many members of the Rx Bandits. They're amazing. I highly recommend them. 

    J.... K....

    Also bro I just discovered DXM and listening to circa made me have an out of body experience

  60. P.... C....

    Why does holding someone's hair back bring a dirty picture to my mind?

    P.... C....

    @Paula Catlover You think about BJ's too much.

    P.... C....

    Holding someones hair back whilst they vomit, as they are too drunk

  61. e.... ....

    The opening seconds tho... Jeez! probably the only album that got me hooked and i mean HOOKED in mere seconds. Nearly a decade later and it is still transcending 

    e.... ....

    @esellanta 10 years July 20.

    e.... ....

    2018 fully agrees with you brother

    e.... ....

    esellanta 2019 and I'm still transcending

  62. M.... ....

    This song reminds me of the hard times i had, but somehow i always find myself listening to it.

    M.... ....

    Made you stronger, didn't they?

  63. S.... ....

    cant even believe im listening to this, but its crazyy

  64. M.... 9....

    Love this band fucking genious album

  65. 7.... ....

    This song is scary good.

  66. M.... N....

    T'was better than I thought, but you're just missing that "something." Couldn't tell you what that is, though.

  67. M.... N....

    I'm taking your advice. Don't disappoint me, Sir. I'll come back with a critique.

  68. D.... S....

    For fans of Circa Survive, please take a minute to give our single a chance - we promise you won't regret it.

  69. R.... ....

    Mario I was about to flip on you until I read the rest of that comment o_O

  70. M.... P....

    Circa Survive is soooooooo gay! In the old English term of course.

  71. T.... ....

    Saosin was pretty depressingly garbage. The best choice he ever made was to leave that shit band.

  72. F.... H....

    this was their best song but he should of never left saosin

  73. T.... S....

    this song cured me aids!

  74. C.... ....

    The best is 0:40 to 0:57, especially when Anthony changes pitch at 0:54. Goddamn, I love this song.

  75. D.... D....

    What's 0:00 - 0:13 from

  76. N.... P....

    Yeah, another hundredth of a tenth.

  77. S.... C....

    It's about someone who isn't perhaps the most popular person hooking up with someone higher up on the ladder in a drunken haze. This song is the popular one telling the unpopular one that it was basically a "One Time thing" and they should pretend it never happened.

  78. G.... ....

    lmao awesome

  79. S.... J....

    My penis grew by another 10 inches alone just listening to this song!

  80. s.... ....

    showed my girlfriend this cd she didnt like it. stopped and had her get out of the car

    s.... ....

    spazvapes my man

  81. B.... ....

    It's about Mcdonalds

  82. i.... ....

    same here broo <33

  83. j.... ....

    shame, guilt, remorse, anything you want it to mean

  84. T.... M....

    I can understand :P I'm black and sooo don't fit into the black community. Circa survive is perfect for dreaming <3

  85. H.... ....

    lol I really like your comment

  86. K.... Y....

    Pointless post of the year goes out to you! Kudos. (InsertFalseSympathyHere)

  87. B.... ....

    Those 10 dislikes need to get laid

  88. M.... C....

    Juturna, the best album♥

  89. A.... ....

    0:01 that sound..so hypnotizing, it sends chills down my spine

  90. d.... ....

    wah pedal, you hear it a little later more clearly. at least im pretty sure..

  91. T.... O....

    This track was the beginning of something beautiful...

  92. A.... O....

    probably a synth, but it's also possible that it's a guitar sound. both colin and brendan have an extensive collection of pedals.

  93. t.... ....

    What's the background noise at 0:55? Is it some strange synth sound?

    t.... ....

    It's that purple line 6 pedal....filter modeler

  94. p.... ....

    This is my first album from Circa, I still listen to it everynow and then everytime i drive long trips. sing to the top of my lungs. lol.

  95. s.... ....

    circa survive is better driving cause you can sing at the top of your lungs and nooo one can hear you not being able to match anthony greens amazing voice

  96. L.... B....

    Anthony Green's voice is like donuts and cupcakes raining out of the sky while unicorns slide down a rainbow and sweet cherubs sing hallelujah.

  97. t.... ....

    Check our our channel if you dig Circa Survive. You won't regret it, we promise! But, if you really feel that we suck, we promise that you can tell us and we won't even get mad a little bit.
