Falling In Reverse - The Westerner Lyrics






I was born one morning in December
On the coldest day
Abandoned by my mother
Whom my father I was raised

My father raised my brother and I
With a stubborn heart
My mother left me her good looks
And confident charm

Well I spent most of my teenage years
Searching for her love
I could not find it anywhere
So I turned to drugs

And after all the smoke had cleared
And it was said and done
I found myself addicted
By the age of 21

I tell the truth

I've been beaten, I've been bruised
I was left for dead as well
I was wrongfully accused
You left me locked inside a cell

I've been cheated
I've been sued
But I have lived to tell
The more you kick me when I'm down
The more it truly helps

I feel the madness creeping slowly
Loved by many, I'm still lonely
Paid the price for your mistake
The music died the day I walked away

No, I won't let you win
Not this time my friend
You know that I'm better in the end
No, you won't take my pride
I'll keep my head held high
'Cause I know that I'm better in the end

Whoa
I know you're jealous
And you wish you could be me
I'm so smart and clever with my lyrics can't you see?
There's nobody better in this music industry
And in case you think you are, go ahead, give me a ring

Whoa
I deserve a purple heart
From all my fucking wounds
Lacerations to my ego
Pride that I consume

And in your final hours
When you are looking back
You'll find that I'm the best at what I do
And that's a fact

No, I won't let you win
Not this time my friend
You know that I'm better in the end
No, you won't take my pride
I'll keep my head held high
'Cause I know that I'm better in the end
And all I got to say
(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da
Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)

Take it or leave it
But you best believe me it's true
There's no mistaking
So please stop the faking, I'm through
You know I'm better than you

No, I won't let you win
Not this time my friend
You know that I'm better in the end
No, you won't take my pride
I'll keep my head held high
'Cause I know that I'm better in the end
In the end
(Yes, I am!)
(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da
Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)

  1. M.... H....

    Whats more annoying then haters commenting on falling in reverse is the ones that talk about haters.. seriously every single band gets hate cause not everyone likes the same things...

  2. S.... ....

    Good life story in the lyrics

  3. A.... F....

    I use to listen to this song in middle school and I literally forgot about it and I saw it in my youtube history all the way from my emo days, I never sung a song with so much compassion as I did a few days ago in my whole life lmao

  4. t.... o....

    I'm falling for you

  5. h.... a....

    wow very good

  6. S.... F....

    Ronnie: There's nobody better in the music industry
    Bring Me The Horizon: Releases Sempiternal one year later

    S.... F....

    Then you listen to FIR's : Popular Monster

    And realize what BMTH became

    S.... F....

    @QuAkE EmoTioN Hahah, good one. Still I love both bands and they're both breaking it this year with those singles

  7. M.... A....

    Saludos a todos los que hablan español y escuchan estas canciones de *falling in reverse*

  8. C.... M....

    "The music died the day I walked away"

    Oof so true though, if this means what I think it does. Don't @ me but escape the fate went to shit after Ronnie was kicked out

    C.... M....

  9. S.... T....

    I remember the exact day they 1st came out as "From Behind These Walls" and released (Listen Up) so crazy to realize how far they have come as band. Even as a young teen growing up I was always a R.R fan!

  10. L.... D....

    could probably do with other pictures

  11. R.... M....

    Who else thinks the chorus of this song is a similar tune to the chorus of Pick Up The Phone?

  15. F.... ....

    Bin ich die Einzige Person hier, die wegen der Buchreihe „Rockstars“ von Teresa Sporrer hier gelandet ist? Jetzt weiß ich auch, warum das Frettchen Ronnie heißt 😂

    Als ich diese Buchreihe zum 1. Mal gelesen habe, habe ich nichts von den MusikerInnen verstanden, jetzt bin ich vollkommen darin eingetaucht und lese alles nochmal. Auf einmal ergibt alles mehr Sinn und ich beginne jedes Mal, wenn eine Band, die ich kenne vorkommt, zu kreischen 😅

  16. J.... C....

    why does the "I'll keep my head held high" part remind me of a lion king song xD

  48. M.... W....

    BESSSSSTTTTTT

  49. T.... ....

    Why is it that when an artist recites lyrics that rhyme consecutively throughout 1 or more of his/her verses and/or chorus, is it automatically labelled RAP?? What IF.. Its just rhyme-rock??

    T.... ....

    Thee1stMikeC Rap- rhythm and poetry. You do realize more things are actually rap than what people think?

  50. J.... B....

    Ronnie will continue to be a rock god in many of our ears

    J.... B....

    Jacob Barker Rock god?.. chill

    J.... B....

    Jacob Barker I'm beginning to feel like a Rock God, Rock God.

  58. O.... M....

    I first listened to Ronnie's voice in The Guillotine by ETF, I liked him since then. Imho FIR music suits my taste more than ETF. Or maybe I'm biased because it's not Ronnie's voice anymore (in etf) lol.

    O.... M....

    ETF sucks without Ronnie. That's all

  59. Y.... W....

    When I listen to FIR I like feel like I wanna punch something and cry and dance and smile, ya know just like have emotions.

  64. E.... ....

    God I love FIR

  65. P.... P....

    I can relate to this song too much

  66. a.... v....

    💯🔥🔥🔥

  67. S.... C....

    Not bad album.

    S.... C....

    No music videos for Ronnie Radke legendary songs, for example if "There is no sympathy for the dead" had a music video you would never say this.
    Since you don't have this extremely deep art/thinking of Oscar leaders for this world's culture you will never see that the first album ever to almost proclaim the word "Emo" is DIYLF and will never see that if we picked up 5 or 6 of the best Falling in reverse songs and produced a music video for each song like System of a down did Ronnie Radke would destroy expert bands like System of a down, DragonForce, Metallica and more.. with just 5 or 6 songs.
    And if they produced a music video for "There is no sympathy for the dead" and "The Guillotine" Metal series... the Oscar reviewing....Ronnie Radke would just.. "win". but the problem is Ronnie Radke just make songs and release it.. he is like waiting for someone to notice the legend, that's why Ronnie Radke's fans are few and special... no words. That's why also people are stupid they only want to watch videos if the song with no video it will never get popular or get any ratings.
    Btw if you listen to Slipknot you are again just a person without a culture or even a little amount of art "People = shit".

    S.... C....

    @E-PC I like Falling In Reverse,and i like and sing Emocore,Post-Hardcore,Metalcore,but for me Ronnie can't be better than Ozzy Ousborne,or Danny Worsnop.Anyway this is my opinion,but shit like you,trying say that they right and they opinion right than others.And you don't know really meaning of song People=shit.I say,keep your opinion to youself,don't try prove that your music better than others,otherwise someday,something bad happens to you.

    S.... C....

    Ronnie Radke the king of the music.
    Rockstar Number 1
    Metal Destroyer
    Emo King 2004-2008
    Number 1 genre killer band
    Rap God
    Punk God

    S.... C....

    @E-PC Idiot.

  68. A.... H....

    But seriously, Falling In reverse get so much hate but honestly they're the best band I've ever heard. Ronnie has an amazing voice and all the musicians are so talented. Their music means something and it's not random shit that most pop musicians sing about. I love Falling In Reverse, they're amazing. I love them loads and I'm sure many of you agree with me! :)

    B.... l....

    I first want to say Scene kid much. Second I could make better music IN MY OPINION I just need the hardware. (By the way the reason I'm here is because my girlfriend told me to listen to it.)

    B.... l....

    its not that shit on the radio where all they "sing" about is sex, dugs, girls, more sex, during sex, and that other bull. falling in reverse is my favorite band

    B.... l....

    They hate them they started doing rap

    B.... l....

    They’re fucking awful

    B.... l....

    I agree they didnt deserve ALL the hate just some. But to say this is the best band you've ever heard is a bit ridiculous. I mean it is subjective but still you havent heard ANYONE a litter better? Lol

  85. B.... l....

    I feel the madness creeping slowly
    Loved by many I'm still lonely
    Paid a price for your mistake
    The music died the day I walked away

  86. N.... L....

    This reminds me a lot of Nico DiAngelo.........
    No idea why...

    N.... L....

    Oh my god yes

  91. Z.... V....

    Omg. I just realized this. On the album (The Drug In Me Is You) when the songs are in order its sort of telling you a story. And sort of like his stages of recovery. With little snippets of his own story. and this as the last song on the album well you can see where im going. But do you guys see where I'm going?

    Z.... V....

    Psychotic Zoe omg your right i thought i was the only one that heard that

    Z.... V....

    Bruno Neves he’s not the king of the music scene he’s the GOD of it

    Z.... V....

    Black veil brides does that too, and personally I think it's really cool that they're doing this story with their albums

    Z.... V....

    He's not a god he's going straight to he'll I'm going with him

  92. J.... A....

    I really wish there was a music video for this

    J.... A....

    it would be to good

    J.... A....

    Yeah, like a bar fight between Ronnie and Craig lol

  93. B.... C....

    This song is exactly just like my life. Everything Ronnie says in this song is just what has happened to me in my life. I love Falling in Reverse It is my life music band.

    B.... C....

    Brenden Carte Same here bro same here 😢

  94. D.... C....

    Holy shit this song is perfect for Sam and Dean Winchester

    D.... C....

    @Diamond Collie dude this is perfect for Ronnie Radke(the vocalist) cuz this is the story of his life

    D.... C....

    Diamond Collie True

    D.... C....

    D.... C....
