Every Time I Die - El Dorado Lyrics






You were alone when you came in
You'll be alone when you leave again
And in the middle there's nothing
That can keep you around when it's time to go home
Because everybody I lean on
(since I don't trust myself)
Leans on someone else
Watch the colonies collapse like dominoes

I could beg and I could plead
But all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me

The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland
The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland

I crawled on hands and knees just to be there with you
And you moved on without me

Scrap the crown, clear the slate
Cut off you roots, you're on your own
Scrap the crown, clear the slate
Cut off you roots, you're on your own

We all need something

I'm a gypsy queen
Without a swarm
And the burning bridges keep me warm

I'm a new wave
In a dried up stream
I'm just trying to find my way out to the sea

You were alone when you came here
You'll be alone when you leave again
And in the middle there's nothing
That can keep you around when it's time to go home
Because everybody I lean on
(since I don't trust myself)
Leans on someone else
Watch the colonies collapse like dominoes

I could beg and I could plead
But all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me

The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic waste
The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic waste

Crush your allies
Crush your allies

  1. P.... 3....

    NHL 15 was the best nhl game ngl

  2. c.... a....

    Either this is super obvious or im stretching to make this connection here but when he says "arctic waste," in the part that goes: "The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic waste," he means "white trash" yeah?

    Then again this could be another straight forward song about cavemen and stuff.

  3. T.... ....

    This is a fade out ending done right

  4. J.... B....

    That outro is too goddamn dirty.





    The big dirty

  5. A.... S....

  6. M.... T....

    CRUSH YOUR HEAD!!!!

  7. N.... N....

    That chorus reminds me of kvelertak

  8. M.... W....

    Versatility x 2500 = greatness. Love these fuckers.

    You were alone when you came in
    You'll be alone when you leave again
    And in the middle there's nothing that can keep you around when it's time to go home
    Because everybody I lean on (since I don't trust myself)
    Leans on someone else
    Watch the colonies collapse like dominos
    I could beg and I could plead but all I hear is the echo of my own voice begging me
    The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland
    The fossils of the teen age are well preserved
    I crawled on hands and knees just to be there with you and you moved on without me
    Scrap the crown
    Clean the slate
    Cut off your roots
    You're own your own
    Scrap the crown
    Clean the slate
    Cut off your roots
    You're own your own
    We all need something
    I'm a gypsy queen without a swarm and the burning bridges keep me warm
    I'm a new wave in a dried up stream
    I'm just trying to find my way out to the sea
    You were alone when you came in
    You'll be alone when you leave again
    And in the middle there's nothing that can keep you around when it's time to go home
    Because everybody I lean on (since I don't trust myself)
    Leans on someone else
    Watch the colonies collapse like dominos

    The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic wasteland
    The fossils of the teen age are well preserved in the arctic waste
    Crush your allies

    You were alone when you came in
    You'll be alone when you leave again

    Tool vibe at the end? Pantera throwback riff? Brings me back to Wrestlemania.

  42. b.... ....

    I'm for once, glad to be alive

  43. J.... B....

    1:17 - "Blood and Thunder" much?

    J.... B....

    Definitely felt the influence there

    J.... B....

    haha I've been wracking my brain over where they stole that riff from for days. I knew it sounded familiar, thanks.

  44. T.... O....

    Crush.  Your.  Allies.

    T.... O....

    sir, there is a time and place for the caps lock key.
    this is the time.
    this is the place.
    CRUSH
    YOUR
    AL-
    -LIES

    T.... O....

    Tom O for a while, I heard "Close Your Damn Eyes." It was through shitty tv speakers when I heard it on NHL . lol

  45. M.... ....

    Hot damn this is good shit

  46. D.... S....

    Scratch that, this might be my favorite song by them now.

    D.... S....

    map change

  47. A.... W....

    Proper party tune! I love the influences in this album; hardcore, metal, rock, pop, everything! Another beast album! Not one album sucks by ETID... Gutter is my least favourite but even still, sweet album! Love Keith's signing in this one!

    A.... W....

    It's funny how tastes differ between people because Gutter is one of my fav's! But i love pretty much all of their stuff, not really familiar with last night in town. I love the sound of this new album. More etid to listen to = happiness

  48. B.... P....

    The Damned Things?

    B.... P....

    who? (sarcasm)

    B.... P....

    same singer. Every Time I Die is his main band but the Damned Things was an ensemble of members from multiple bands.

    B.... P....

    The Damned Things rock. That's where I discovered Keith, and in turn discovered ETID.

  49. E.... N....

    And to think these guys are from Buffalo!!! These guys are more southern than most southern metal bands.  This is off the hook crazy good!

    E.... N....

    they're hardcore.....

    E.... N....

    @Michael Cloutier technically metalcore with sludge metal and southern metal influences and are hardcore punk in some songs too

    E.... N....

    ohh well true ;p

    E.... N....

    @Hayden Fletcher when people ask me what they are i say southern hardcore punk. 

    E.... N....

    @Ben heckman Sick.

  50. M.... C....

    Killer riffs.

  51. C.... ....

    There's that southern metal. Dope!

  52. c.... f....

    Oh yeahhhhh.
