Devour The Day - Handshakes To Fist Fights Lyrics






I met death in Memphis
In those lonely city streets
But I have found redemption
From that road that buried me
No matter what they do or say
Don’t let them take this dream away

Rise up, rise up
The world can’t shut us down

Gone too far, too far to go back
Relapse and go back to rehab
Made our way through hard days and long nights
Handshakes that turned into fist fights
We rise and we fall
We stand back up and evolve
We’ve come too far to just go back
I ain’t going out like that
I ain’t going out like that

Fort Wayne couldn’t save me
Infatuation isn’t love
I went fucking crazy
It showed me who I really was
No matter what they say or do
They can’t take that away from you

Rise up, rise up
The world can’t shut us down

Gone too far, too far to go back
Relapse and go back to rehab
Made our way through hard days and long nights
Handshakes that turned into fist fights
We rise and we fall
We stand back up and evolve
We’ve come too far to just go back
But I ain’t going out like that

Come too far, too far just to go back
I ain’t going out, I ain’t going out like that
Come too far, too far just to go back
I ain’t going out, I ain’t going out like that

No, I ain’t going out like that
I ain't going out like that
No, I ain’t going out like that
I ain't going out like that

Gone too far, too far to go back
Relapse and go back to rehab
Made our way through hard days and long nights
Handshakes that turned into fist fights
We rise and we fall
We stand back up and evolve
We’ve come too far to just go back
I ain’t going out like that

I ain’t going out like that

  3. D.... A....

    Amazing talent

  4. D.... H....

    Great band. They should be wellknown around the world and headline stadiums😊

  5. b.... s....

    I heard this song before I went to rehab. I’m out for a little bit before I go back and this song just screams “be selfish about sobriety and push through life” I absolutely love it. Gets the hype going too(:<

  6. D.... T....

    this is some good stuff !

  7. D.... G....

    I <3 this song

  8. D.... C....

    I saw these guys open for Hinder. When they first came out. They rocked. Hopefully they make another album

  9. S.... H....

    They are amazing

  10. K.... N....

    I got Ryan's drumstick the other night after their opening for Three Days Grace!! 

  11. e.... ....

    vocals has power and dedication, which is rare these days

  12. T.... H....

    I've seen these guys twice and I'd definitely see them a million more times.

  13. Z.... Z....

    sounds a little too much like all American rejects. it doesn't have that EC edge to it. this song, at least. first one ive heard from them. also, kinda liked John Falls better. but, as this is te first song ive heard from them, they still have a chance to impress me.

  14. R.... ....

    So the lead singer of Devour the Day was the drummer in EC?

  15. C.... A....

    I just saw them tonight. Hands down the best opening act there was tonight.

  16. L.... N....

    That song somehow reminds me of Bleach...

  17. c.... ....

    Saw these guys at irving plaza in nyc a few months ago, they were the 2nd opening band and they blew the roof off the place. You should see them do this song live!

  18. k.... s....

    J-somebody go away you are ignorant

    k.... s....

    +kris stcroix Who do you think you're talking to?

    k.... s....

    No, wait, I found him.

    I love this band :D

  20. h.... r....

    i love it when guys argue on you youtube i makes my fucking day

  21. W.... P....

    This song is awesome and it helps to listen to it

  22. J.... s....

    For every word you speak, you called me f**face, on JUDGEMENTDAY, you will have to make an account, for your words, weather you like it or not, JESUS WILL BE YOUR JUDGE,

    J.... s....

    +J- somebody And you think he'll judge this band poorly over a single word?

    J.... s....

    Zombies aren't real.

  23. L.... ....

    Just discovered this band on the radio today, never heard of either so my opinion isn't biased. This band is definitely better than Egypt Central. Not saying the other is bad, but this definitely get me revved more. My 2 cents.

  24. L.... ....

    Lol what are you 7? Ohnoes a bad word! Welcome to rock&roll fuckface.

  25. G.... R....

    Loving the new album time and pressure awesome job

  26. J.... s....

    I was listing to Devour the day, [hand shakes to fist fight,] wow they sounded pretty good, until they used the "F" WORD in it, RUINED the hole song.

  27. c.... ....

    Saw these guys live a few days ago opening for candlebox, they brought the roof down! Awesome live performance.

  28. T.... C....

    I didn't say anything was wrong about the first album. I only made disregard to the second one. :) the first one was pretty amazing.

  29. T.... C....

    So, Egypt Central released 2 albums as I recall...
    ...and the second wasn't anything sspectacular at all....the only really memorable song was "White Rabbit", only because it was catchy...and "Backfire", which was ruined by adding the electric guitars. The songs I have listened to from Devour the Day, blew EC's second album away. So, enjoy the music, and the musical freedom, Joey and Blake now have.

  30. T.... C....

    Alright, as far as I recall, Egypt Central released two albums. And honestly....the s

  31. b.... l....

    some of them are from the band egypt central, i love their new music

  32. K.... W....

    Yeah I know right the music was way better when they had the other lead singer. (his name currently slips my mind) but his voice was amazing and he mad the music really good. I'm sorry he left. That sucks

  33. M.... ....

    Wow..kinda some similar aspects to Rise against..Love it.

  34. A.... ....

    Wow, I'm very happy I ran across these guys. And all these old fans need to get the fuck out. It's really annoying. Just enjoy the music.

  35. T.... ....

    It was way better, but that doesn't mean this band isn't good too. Egypt Central was kind of hard to match

  36. T.... ....

    Pretty awesome.

  37. J.... M....

    Get over it, they broke up... too bad, it happens

  38. S.... ....

    That's what I said. I was saying White Rabbit did not sound like their previous work, and that it was disappointing compared to their previous work.

  39. R.... ....

    Likes: 116 dislikes: 2. Don't even bother hating this song

    R.... ....

    While I personally very much enjoy this band and song, I feel compelled to point out that your argument is based solely on the bandwagon fallacy.

  40. S.... K....

    Egypt Central was better... But this ain't bad!

  41. U.... M....

    MEGA LAME!

  42. S.... W....

    ' Pieces of shots'... Get it right before you fucking insult someone buddy. Knob jockey.

  43. R.... ....

    It's time to move on with life, besides it is only 1/4 of EC that is MIAing. Joey, Jeff, and Blake is still here! But I do feel sorry for Johns personal issues.. :/

  44. R.... ....

    The last thing we need is pieces of shots like you around. GTFO!

  45. J.... N....

    I agree. However now that they are disbanded we need a replacement. Devour the Day is perfect for that, but I would prefer Egypt Central back.

  46. Z.... S....

    Don't be mad because your voice sounds like shit

  47. B.... N....

    His voice is trash

  48. I.... ....

    Yes but Devour the Day is awesome aswell. I really enjoy the album, every fucking single day. ^_^

  49. t.... ....

    Can we not argue and just listen or not listen to the awesome music

  50. s.... ....

    You prefer EC, I prefer DtD. How does that make me any more wrong than you. I have listened to all of those songs. I own both of EC's albums. I've seen them live twice. I saw nothing special about them. Simple as that. They sounded like any other band I could turn on the radio and hear.

    Did I ever compare them to 30 Seconds to Mars or Avril Lavigne? No. They aren't rock bands.... Yes, I will give you that Egypt Central was better than both of those, because they're horrible.

  51. B.... ....

    Are you on freaking drugs? Do you try to troll me or what?
    Go listen to White Rabbit, listen to Over and Under, listen to Liar, listen to Different, listen to Taking you Down.

    You have no freaking clue what Egypt Central is or was. Go listen more to your 30 Second To Mars and actual Avril Lavigne (I'm not against Avril Lavigne, she made on her early career really good songs, but now it's like every other girlie group/pop band).. well, nvm. Have fun with Egypt Central.

  52. s.... ....

    Every song on "Time & Pressure" is better than anything EC ever made IMO. I couldn't stand EC and there was nothing "unique" about them, they sounded like every other throwaway pop rock band out there. Good riddance to EC and bring on tons more DtD

  53. S.... ....

    Their first album was, but White Rabbit... lost what made them special, save for a few tracks.

  54. F.... F....

    Egypt Central was awesome but they probably won't ever form again. This is as close as it gets, considering half the band is Egypt Central. I'll always listen to them though.

  55. L.... ....

    Yeah I miss EC too but these guys are awesome in their own way

  56. h.... ....

    LOVE THIS!!!!! Can't wait for May 7!

  57. B.... ....

    I dont give a frick how the voice is. You think I'm dumb? I know that they CANT be EC, but they dont even have any influences from EC. It's sounds totally different and even if I'm a Metalhead, someone who's even listen to every genre of Metal and Rock, this aint fit in my believes of stylish rock.

  58. s.... ....

    The style made be different, but their goal like I posted in another spot is the same. this song screams not gonna stop not gonna quit, like "over and under" its different, but what do you expect its two members of EC,the founding members, whom are in different spots of band member roles then we are used to hearing. one member may have a harder style voice then the other. same with the hands to the beat with an instrument.

  59. s.... ....

    It reaches out though like the song "over and under" yes they are pulling away from EC, but they used their roots to make EC as they did with DTD just in many of the different ways. They are still the pair saying they wont be held down like in the beginning when they started trying to even create a band and the first cd.

  60. M.... Q....

    I suppose it's difficult to shed the EC comparisons but Blake and Joey have shown just how versatile and talented they truly are. The lyrics, the riffs, just enough gritty edge to the singing at the right time ... Another great song, guys. I'm getting more and more anxious to get this cd. Thank you again ... and again ... AND again ...

  61. B.... ....

    What did you expect?
    Even the first songs from EC was enormous compared to those ones.

    DtD sounds more like a pop alternate rock band and has nothing anymore to do with EC. I really dont know what YOU DID EXPECT, but I expected another great band with experience from a another great band and influences from already existing work.

  62. d.... ....

    lol what do you expect dude?
    This is not egypt central 2.0
    its a new band man..
    main difference is a new lead singer.
    they produced this record in a very short period of time..
    egypt central took like ~5 years to produce 1 album..
    these songs were produced in less than a half year.
    give them some time.

  63. C.... H....

    it's good! but i don't think the special effects work for you guys
    just doesn't sound right
    still fucking amazing tho!

  64. M.... ....

    Fuckin' awesome!

  65. C.... J....

    This is definitely a song to listen to before a fight! Great song! Really looking forward to black out :D

  66. R.... F....

    Very unique but.. But good song

  67. R.... ....

    AWESOME!!! :D

  68. L.... P....

    Im waiting for a band like this, in this last years .. nice lyrics and energy...

  69. B.... ....

    Maybe I'm the only one thinking, but Egypt Central was unique and was way better... It's my opinion.

  70. s.... ....

    y'all still sounding strong as before. :) Man I can't wait for the coming cd. Continue to be Kick Ass.

  71. M.... ....

    A new AWESOME band has been formed!

  72. L.... J....

    sweet :)
