Day To Remember, A - Life Lessons Learned The Hard Way Lyrics

Too many people sleep on this song

This song helps remind me how quickly 2 minutes goes by

They should open every show with this

It’s so fucking sick to know they can go this heavy. This song hits hard.

Had to come here to cleanse my ears after hearing Degenerates

This is the most heavy yet relatable song.
That's all

Cause in the end you’ll get WRECKED!

That drop gets me every time.

Yikes, this song is dark.

Hands down...the BEST breakdown of any of their songs

666k views right now... ADTR is really satanic 🔥

Common Courtesy HAS to be their heaviest album.

And in the end, that piece of shit got REKT

Thanks to Christian from the band Villain of the Story. :)

Haha. Saw it too

This is one of my top favorite heavy songs I've ever heard. Short, to the point, high energy, riffs galore, breakdowns that make you snarl they're so good. Can't believe it's been this long since it came out, it's still THE jam.

They needed at least 1 song in their album that GOES HARD.

How to turn a mosh pit into a bloodbath:

Step 1: ---^

I just saw a story on the news about some Charles Manson looking motherfucker that killed a 23-year-old girl locally and left her body in a field. I felt like listening to this song because all I could think of is how bad I want to drive a random white unmarked van to use a tire iron to break the bones inside his head. I just hope in the end he gets wrecked because he's truly earned my disgust.

Dedicated to 6ix9ine

Best Damn lows I have ever heard have always came from adtr.

I heard a little Girl Killed her self today, the bloods on your hands

Here for Hunter #Thefamily

YOU'LL LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A FUCKING TURKEY! \m/

You live your life as a fucking turkey

I still wonder to this day who pissed Jeremy off...

This song is about Hunter Moore.

@ 1:48 when they say "YOU'VE EARNED MY DISGUST" Jeremy hocks a loogie and spits it out 😂 Such a fucking cool sound fx they put in. Never heard it until now!

For reasons I won't explain, this song makes me think of my brother-in-law...let's just say he did some fucked up shit to my wife, when they were kids...I'll leave it at that. In any case, this is one of my favorite fucking songs by ADTR and I think it's probably the heaviest they ever wrote.

Intro= 2012 by The Word Alive
Breakdown= Life Cycles by The Word Alive
Anybody else notice this?

does anyone else besides me keep hearing "you'll live your live as a fucking turkey" ?

hands down one of their top 3 sickest breakdowns, that drop tho

they need more songs like these!

Here's to you Hunter Moore!

exposed and justified breakdowns are top heavy

its not CC though

I still think this song is tied with 2nd Sucks as their heaviest song

Heartless for sure!

Paiky I agree. Heartless is heavy and dark.

Josh Klebolt there's no way Heartless is heavier than this!

Exposed

Sticks & Bricks is up there

that fuckin breakdown is hands down one their best it gets me so fuckin pumped. adtr= life

lol its adorable how a bunch of mall-core 14 year olds think this is OMG SO HEVUY. listen to pissgrave then get back to me, scrubs.

salted crypts well this does sound hella nice though but you should try Between the Buried and Me

salted crypts but this band isn't meant to be "super heavy". they're just a fun sounding band, no denying that, with catchy ass songs n shit you know?

The only people who would unironically use the word "scrubs" in this context would be a 14 year old. So congrats on entering Junior year two years later.
Also Pissgrave is fucking awful, hope you grew out of that.

this song sucks ass. pure garbage.

end...
your
fucking
life
faggot

+RoadRage it's true

go die
its one of their best songs

You make me moist, 8)

the whole song`s a fuckin orgasm

YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A FUCKING TURKEY!!!!!

It's target...

I know.

that fast rythm guitar riff at the start reminds me of Avenged Sevenfolds God Hates Us All

fuck hunter moore

The drop on this song was so big I grew a fourth testicle

Wait where'd the 3rd one come from?

+Lewis xD drop

The third one came from 2nd sucks

@Slump Jesus Probably came from the entirety of Mr. Highway's Thinking About the End

Wait a minute...

ADTR should do a deathcore album. Just for funsies

nah. It's a mixture of deathcore (first half maybe), metalcore and some elements from post hardcore.

I'd love that, but I really don't see it happening. I think ADTR is afraid to get too heavy because it will chase away all the fangirls and dudes that don't really like metal. I know the rumor goes that Oli from Bring Me The Horizon had a throat problem, so they couldn't keep making deathcore music. Truthfully, I think they just got tired and needed an excuse. They realized there's more money and fame if you're not deathcore. For me, it's never been about the money, it's about the art, that's why I rap and write all sorts of music.

Also, A Day To Remember has both post-hardcore and metalcore elements, they're also called easycore. There's really no need to get uptight about the specific classification.

Its metalcore without the pop punk influences

Never drive someone to suicide. You will pay.

My thoughts about this song:
-It's good.
-Yet, I would like it to be longer and with more verses, so I can understand what they want to express.

And I'm doing an emphasys in this because there are great stories behid ADTR's songs, but I can't understand this one specially.

And if someone can express the meaning, please go ahead. You're welcome to explain.
Cheers!

+ajgorgas This was by a man who had a revenge porn site. He would post pics of band members and one of them was ADTR's bassist. Hunter Moore was also believed to be the one behind Amanda Todd's killing which explains i heard a little girl killed herself but Hunter Moore was the source of many suicides as well. And for the four people waiting in a white unmarked van was true. 4chan happened to release an address of the believed Amanda Todd killer but it wasn't true. Crazy meaning right?! I was shocked when i heard of this!

This song seemed to be more of a take up space song on the album.

30+ people learned life lessons the hard way/

ive got a bad headache and this just makes me impulsively head bang. song is too fucking sick.

That breakdown!

Everytime I hear the breakdown I can't help but go completely fucking mental

when I 1v1 people

By far the heaviest adtr song and I fucking love it

The fucking breakdown makes me orgasm

the first time my eyes widened

+Jeffrey Wilke wat

+Jeffrey Wilke stop doing drugs please, it's fucking bad

breakdowngasm :D

There's something about that bomb drop that makes this breakdown appear so fucking heavy!

Shona I think it's the sound of a bomb dropping and the breakdown being the "explosion".

Matt Mcguire Cover makes even better in terms of drum

Hey everyone if you guys could check out my cover of this song I would so appreciate it, drop a like if you thinks it good and leave me some feedback on what I could improve. Thanks a fuck ton!

Jeremy played this song to the dudes from TDWP and told them the lyrics line-by-line and their reaction was:
"What the fuck man?"
😂

Tom Denney co wrote this song and 2012 by word alive which is why it sounds similar i like both songs
this song reminds me of ian watkins

1:30 PURCHASE OUR ALBUM AT A FUCKING TARGET

(see the Target logo at the end of video 2:07)

+Venomborn Gaming Very Clever there

Was about to say the same thing

#GETREKT

YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A FUCKING TURKEY

😂😂😂

+Adam Artz omg i lost it when that part played after seeing this :')

+Adam Artz Wow!


I'll never hear this part the same again 1:28

O you suck :(

@Nickolas Styers I see you're a fan of Moon Man's lyrical content

YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A FUCKING TARGET

Surprise!  =D

THEIR SONGS NEVER GET OLD.

I really want to know what's the story behind this ._.

@Psalmmm I would have guessed a pedophile and his victim killing hersef
 

+lovethegames97 It def is. This legendary creep Hunter Moore ran this site called 'Is Anyone Up' where bitter exes or just dickheads would upload nudes of their previous partners. ADTR bassplayer (my bad forgot) had sex (allegedly) with an underage girl and he (allegedly) was a dick after sex so she uploaded his naked pictures to the website.

The site caused people to lose their jobs and even kill themselves when they had their nudes went public. And Hunter bragged about refusing to take them down even after the owners begged. Naturally this led to death threats and people (I guess including ADTR) were hunting for him to beat him up/worse.

Sites went down and Hunter disappeared into obscurity.

All we're left with is dead kids, lost jobs and a great song.

@Aaron Page Dang. I guess i understand now thanks man!

No problem man,  it's a crazy story!

Told you so. ;)

ummmmm holy shit "I HEARD A LITTLE GIRL KILLED HER SELF TODAY!!!" fuckin brutal

in the end youll ghet rekt scrublorde

hey guys he dropped the F-Bomb xD

get rekt m8535745834957348958944354657647898765678876543

The intro reminds me of The Word Alive's 2012 =D

This is their heaviest song that riff is brutal wouldn't look at of place in death metal and the lyrics are just brutal it's not a competition they've some great heavy songs but they don't have serious guitar riffs or themes like this song also 2 minutes is straight up punk rock this is just the only song that's heavy in a way that makes it hard to believe adtr wrote it

...I don't understand why this is up for debate. 
I love Heartless, I love Mr Highway's Thinking About The End, I love each ADTR, each ADTR track...but this song is very clearly their hardest ._. Lyrically, vocally, and ESPECIALLY musically. 
Yes, Heartless had some sick lyrics, and a killer breakdown- but it was just some simple chugs, and had a ton of melodic choruses. 
Mr. Highway's Thinking About The End was basically the same setup, but with more harsh vocals throughout. 

This one is heavy all the way through, with some nice technical implements throughout, and no sign of clean vocals. ;-;

+NaruAMV1Thank you so much for saying this! I've always said this is by far there hardest song! heartless is great and hard but its nowhere near this song and even welcome to the family is hard as fuck too but this song brings a whole different animal.

@NaruAMV1
I always thought it was a toss up between this song and You Already Know What You Are
Weird no one ever mentions that one

Yung Noojies I agree with this comment

because in the end you'll get REKT

Fuck I was gonna post that

Because in the end you'll get SHREKT

+Danny Contreras because in the end you'll get tyrannosaurus rekt!

I dont get it.. :o

Beginning reminds me of 2012 by the word alive

These comments ruined this song. I can only hear "you live your life as a fucking turkey" I'm so mad.

+Kat Foster you can hear comments??? lucky fuck i can only read em...

@Michael Hinte oh yeah, it's sweet. You wouldn't believe how easy it is to read a book.

fucking song so amazing!

I love jeremy's voice because it is so male and it isn't as others bands that have voices so female.

@***** probably best commant ever .

Kellin quinn and vic Fuentes voices are leagues above jeremys. I dont really listen to this stuff anymore but just stating my opinion

Yeah but jeremy's voice , although high, is very masculine and manly unlike kelin's voice. But I guess that gives the bands diffrent colors .

Hey cam fritts im sorry my stepdad didnt rape me as a child... if i knew you were gonna cry this much, i would have brought tissues. .. love.... someone who blatantly doesnt care about your existence

The beginning reminds me of 2012 by The Word Alive !

EXACTLY

Don't get me wrong, this song is a very fucking heavy song and it kicks so much ass. However, it still doesn't beat Heartless. I think Heartless is A Day To Remember's heaviest song ever.

Y'all obviously haven't heard Heartless if you think this is their heaviest song. I mean it's up there, but Heartless wins over all.

I like the part in heartless where he screams when his voice is kinda distorted for like 15 seconds

Zeroshark there's just so much hate and pain infested into Heartless, it really is their hardest song regardless if there's melodic parts and clean vocals.

1 year ago but w/e

Hubba Bubba Basketballer this is harder than heartless, counting for vocals and lyrics. Heartless is about a break up with some yelling, while this is all yelling and is about a man being beaten with a tire iron and a little girl killing herself. this, imo, is much harder.

Go back watch some interviews at the time Jeremy said that Mr. Highway was the heaviest song to date. Then go from there.

xBrowniesGhostx heartless isn't their heaviest song lol

I like how at 2:07 target comes in

Heaviest fuckin song by ADTR and one of the best on Common Courtesy

Funny how alot of kids think ADTR "goes hard." You wouldn't know hardcore or extreme if it kicked you in the ass.

Idk about you but this song kicks my ass. I dont see how you're going to come to the hardest f****** song on this album and comment about how they don't go hard... like what the f*** is your deal

No, not exactly. I'm a teen, ADTR is on the lighter end of the post hardcore genera.. so not all "kids" think that just the ones that get on my nerves so about 97% of them...:-P

Hardest song is If It Means A lot To You

















trololllolololololololololololololololijkjrkfghjsnbfhdgsahnmdhjsyfhgdjsa

Or You already Know What You Are

This comment strikes me as odd. Musical preference varies from person to person and to lump an entire fan base into one classification due to one band is pretty lame. I've seen the bands you've listed and its a well put together one aside from Black Tongue who is just heavy and nothing more. A very boring band for me. But anyways, I know there are ADTR songs that are heavy/"hard".. Simply because it isn't you're taste doesn't effect how the sound is in the end. I've been listening to extreme music since the age of four and have had time to allow my taste to expand. It seems like you're stuck in a void of what you think is heavy or not rather than what is and isn't. Morbid Angel is what started me off. MA is by far one of, if not THE, greatest Death Metal bands ever to surface. I'm not going to just shun every other band for not being as heavy as them. That's fucking stupid. As a musician you take in what matters in music and the rest just fucks off. Claiming people wouldn't know what's what because they listen to a specific band only shows how far you've come along in the scene. I'm only 21 and I love the fact that I have more years to grow with the extreme music field. Its something special to be apart of. Gojira, are you brought up, has one of the heaviest sounds in Metal. They acquire their sound with the atmosphere though lyrically they aren't as heavy as this song. You and I both know that is the truth. Gojira has very earth oriented music and that's why I love them. ADTR have life oriented themes in their music and that is why I like them. "To each their own" is the phrase. Pantera is very groovy but groove doesn't mean they're heavy in the least. What makes Pantera heavy is what they have lyrically just as Machine Head. Comparing all these bands is honestly fucking stupid. In short, everyone has a feel of what is heavy and/or "hard" based on what they listen to and enjoy. Talking out of ones ass via the internet with no real validity behind what's being said is just sad. I respect what you listen to and respect that you have an opinion but you need to learn how to let people enjoy what they want. Kind of implodes the scene, man.

Vocals suck hard.....

I was told this was ADTR's "hardest" song. And I could give a fuck less about the vocals, Unearth kicks so much ass. Tbh his vocals are way better than these.

They are not "better", it's just your taste.
I, for example, enjoy ADTR's vocals, and I sometimes find band's vocals that I don't like, I don't say they suck, it's just not what I would listen to. I get that you don't like the vocals, but don't just bash it, everyone's different, they'll obviously have different taste in music.

Just want to say, I think it's just adorable how you believe that by coming here and making it known that you think a band is bad is going to do anything for anyone. We can be pretty sure you don't think you're changing anyone's mind, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt there. Perhaps you simply want people to know what you think? Well congratulations, people now know. What's next? You've accomplished nothing other than wasting your own time. What else could you be intending to do here, other than get reactions out of people? If that's what it is, you're pretty pathetic. If doing this gives you some kind of personal satisfaction, that's laughable. All it makes you is another moronic attention-seeker on the internet, pretending he's somehow above everyone else. You're in a fucking delusion if you think you've somehow "won", or bested anyone.

We all know you jam out to this shit, you're just too big of a douche to admit you like this song just because it isn't "hard".

@Camron Fritts o kill ur self

you live your life as a fucking turkey!

dont be stupid

You live your life as a fucking target!

This song...daaaaaaaamn is so sexy ♥

Badass song, should be longer though

Target lol it's target, not turkey

If only the whole album was like this.....

@***** Thanks bro! :-)

I like fast forward to 2012

I'd love it even more if it was like this, this is my favorite song in the whole album

@Matt M then why pose as one?

Brett Burdo correct

You RUINED the song for me...
I still love you for it xD
