ERRA - Skyline Lyrics






Cityscape Skeletons
Taking shape and growing skin
Layer and layer is peeled away
Exhausted

From the repetition of always needing to rebuild
Worn down faces in colorful barren places

City lights and skylines
Guiding home our wandering minds
Tucking us into tortoise shells
Suppressing the outside sounds of relentless consciousness

Where is contemplative terrain that sleeps with the setting sun?
This nocturnal apathy
Binging on shadow and smoke
It's endlessly coming undone

When the ground falls out who will take my hands?
When things fall apart, who will take my hand?

I never thought that I could withstand falling short when I'm a broken man
You never knew how much I meant it in love
Every night I'm beside you weeks away when you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?

Millions of tiny pieces looking in on themselves
Reflected in the water
Unaware of each other
Every piece could find its place back in the puzzle
What was one is shattered into many and longs to be whole again

But nothing ever fits quite the same in the end

I never thought that I could withstand falling short when I'm a broken man
You never know how much I meant it in love

I never thought that I could withstand falling short when I'm a broken man
Every night I'm besides you weeks away when you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?

When the ground falls out who will take my hand?
When things fall apart who will take my hand?

    i like the vocals

  2. R.... L....

    The most underrated music video ever🖤

  3. T.... S....

    i’ll be bumping this song till i’m 40

  4. e.... ....

    Remember When this only had 50k views. It makes me so happy to see it spur up!

  5. J.... D....

    I remember chilling with you dudes on your first tour with Elitist.
    I can not thank you enough. After hearing this, I feel inspired to maintain belief in what is creative and pure.
    The way these concepts are described especially in this song are relatable and mind blowing.

    The greatest friend I've ever had in my entire life passed away last month. We served in the Marine Corps together and spent Christmas in the Middle East once too. Just me and him at work, 12 hours a day 7 days a week, no one else. We're both out of the Marines now but we hung out every week after we got out since we both moved to Arizona. I lived near him in Phoenix for the first year we were out, but I moved to California for work in July last year and hadn't seen him since then.. I was going to stay with him for 3 days before I drove home to Arkansas for christmas last month. I ate dinner with him a few hours before he died, and that was the first time I'd seen him since I moved to Los Angeles. He had to go run some errands after we ate, but said he'd be home soon to see me. I was waiting in his driveway later that night and he texted me at 10:59 PM to say, "I'm about to be on my way home, see you soon buddy, I love you" He wrecked his motorcycle at 11:01 PM. I fell asleep in my car at his house waiting for him. I woke up at 7 the next morning to my phone ringing in my lap. It was our old Gunnery Sergeant calling me to break the news...It was so hard to drive away from his house and continue the 20 hour drive home to Arkansas from Phoenix by myself for Christmas.. But I didn't have a reason to stay in Phoenix anymore..

    I was lucky enough to have his mom pay for all my travel costs to go to his services in his hometown right before Christmas. I got her number from another Marine after I got off the phone with the Gunnery Sergeant.. I remember her saying, "Blake told me you were his best friend in the whole world so I'll do whatever I have to do to get you up here for him." She had never met me before. I have had nightmares almost every night since his passing. I am heartbroken..

    This was Blake's favorite song. It always makes me think of him. Rest in peace, Blake Justin Newman. United States Marine Corps, 2013-2017. Phoenix Police Dept.

    Until Valhalla, Warrior.. My sweetest friend.. I love you. Semper Fidelis, Marine.

    His obituary if you would like to read: https://www.calvertmemorial.com/obituaries/Blake-Justin-Newman?obId=9684211

    C.... A....

    Chilled me to the bone, that's so sad. May he rest in peace.
    I'm really sorry it happened to both of you, and his whole family, that shit really sucks. How did he crash his bike? Someone else ran a red light or something?


    Semper Fidelis.

    C.... A....

    @TerminatorZXY We're not sure honestly. We thought maybe he was drinking, but the other officers at the party said he hadn't drank. I went to the crash site 2 weeks ago, it's on a curve. I think maybe another driver did something he tried to avoid maybe. We'll never know.

    C.... A....

    ​@Cass Allen I hope if someone did it, the bastard gets locked up.
    Stay strong buddy.

    C.... A....

    @Cass Allen This is why I don't ride bikes. One of my friends got into a motorcycle accident that decapitated him. Another friend got into one that made his face unrecognizable and died in the ER. that was more that 15 years ago and it still haunts me when I think about it.

    C.... A....

    As a fellow Blake I’d like to say thank you for your story, I too have a best friend in the marines. I’d be very depressed without him in my life. I hope you can find the strength to move on in life. I’m sure Blake is smiling down on you and jammin Metal

  8. j.... c....

    Banda foda pra caralho 😊🤟🏻

  9. J.... _....

    The day before I found this song the word “era” kept following me around, and I didn’t know this band or this song existed. I went to bed with music playing on my tv as usual, I woke up at 3:33 am, with this song playing. And I love this song.

  10. T.... B....

    Now this is Music!

  11. J.... D....

    a perfect band for my a different sensations inside of my!!

  12. S.... L....

    ;D we all know what it is

  13. S.... D....

    Downtown Birmingham. Grew up with these guys

  14. S.... T....

    These guys sound like wage war

    S.... T....

    Excuse me but what the fuck

    S.... T....

    @RvB Agent KY Yeah wtf

  15. A.... ....

    I speak for myself and many of my friends, when I say this, but thank you, to all the band members of Erra, for helping us all through the darkest times of our lives with your music. Still to this day it helps guide us in the right direction and inspires us, please keep doing what you do. .ıllı. <3 .ıllı.

  16. W.... C....

    Erra is the Mesopotamian god of chaos, and this band was signed by Sumerian Records. Coincidence? I think not... Maybe it is lol, but its a fitting place for a band that speaks about such crazy ideas and concepts.

  17. w.... c....

    I only love the intro

  18. K.... ....

    I fucking love this song

  19. T.... C....

    Reminds me of college at asu and heartbreak while riding BMX at night on the campus when it's completely silent.

  20. S.... ....

    Just discovered this band the other day. Bought 3 of their albums and listened while I worked last night.
    I am HOOKED. This song is amazing. This band is incredible. How I never knew bout them til now is beyond me.

  21. M.... B....

    Just saw these guys live abt an hour ago. What a crazy experience that was

  22. H.... C....

    The melody and voice of Jesse outstand all the screaming.

  23. S.... i....

    Badass Band. You guys rip no matter what the views say!

  24. R.... S....

    clean vocal on the point

  25. F.... ....

    No one’s tired of these bands yet? They all sound the EXACT same. Soulless technical guitars followed by an onslaught of chugs, one whiney singer and one monotone screamer. Did I miss anything?

    F.... ....

    lol sorry you feel that way, i feel like you might be trolling, but either way Erra is next level in my opinion bud :)

  26. i.... ....

    Erra would be my fave band if they had good clean vocals.

  27. C.... Z....

    Fucking Hard

  28. B.... D....

    I love this!!!!!!!!

  29. C.... b....

    I knew the screamer sounded familiar from somewhere lol.

  30. A.... H....

    I had the pleasure of seeing them live in Denver with August Burns Red. They were pretty badass

    A.... H....

  31. A.... 2....

    C.... M....

    erra is really great listen to more!

  33. R.... ....

    I like this band but can’t stand the screamer so it keeps me from listening more

  34. C.... R....

    Incredible.

  35. J.... N....

    It doesn't really work but for some reason my head keeps thinking Kamehameha at the lyrics "coming undone"

  36. S.... ....

    These guys rock to the extreme man. I saw them at the Zydeco and had been listening to them on amazon before I even realized they were from my city. They are the best! I just wish they would play at iron city next time lol and play here more. Come back to Birmingham guys! Thanks for the great music! More Marketing! More people need to know about this band!!!!!

  75. M.... B....

    They really have changed since their Augment and Impulse release. Don't like their new stuff but will still support them always. Augment and Impulse are one o the best metal albums of our generation. Garrison vocals are really missed.

  76. A.... A....

    IVE BEEN NONSTOP SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR 10 MINUTES! Worth the search! ❤

  77. L.... ....

    they make metal sound so beautiful

  78. Z.... F....

  84. A.... ....

    damn jesse. sumerian records, nice.

  85. L.... E....

    This song makes me want to just cruise around the city late at night.

  86. K.... T....

    When I listen to this song for some reason like , I cry , I don’t know how or why but it’s so beautiful and I just start crying lol, I saw you guys in St. Louis on nov 6th and I hoped to god you played this song and you never did 😑

  87. B.... E....

    This drummer is fucking legend.

  94. t.... ....

    The last 30 seconds is the best part of the song. So much emotion, so well done. 11/10

  95. b.... ....

    How does an absolute masterpiece like this not have a few million views? Oh well... more for me I guess.

  96. T.... R....
