For The Fallen Dreams - Mimic Lyrics






What the fuck happened to the youth of today?
They'd rather praise the face of a boy on a stage.
There's so many things to say about the way we raise our kids to
Believe of what a hero can be and how much weight you can hold to his name.
I refuse to believe that we've lost of sense of humanity like a locust to the plague.
I am not the man, you should follow to your knees.
False profits pave the way for the mindless fools that make up everyday society.
I sit patently and wait for the world to crumble beneath my feet.

I am the voice of single man, but I can see how pathetic this life can be.
Sit back and wait for this game to be played,
And watch them expire in the heat that they've made.
There's little they can say about the way they've lead so many kids astray.
By the bullshit they feed them and the things that preach,
There's no telling how far their voices will reach.
Does anybody else see what were doing?
I swear I'm losing my mind.

Wake the fuck up.
I want to watch your story burn.
I want to see the look on your face when your gimmick is exposed and you're lost inside your head.
The real heroes of today are the men and woman
Who fight for what is right and what some of us still believe.
That there's more to life than just money and the need for greed.
Where will you go when your 15 minutes of fame are up and you're outside the circle?
And you're left with nothing but your ego.
Would you sell your soul?
I sit patiently and wait for the world to crumble beneath my feet.

I am the voice of single man, but I can see how pathetic this life can be.
Sit back and wait for this game to be played,
And watch them expire in the heat that they've made.
There's little they can say about the way they've lead so many kids astray.
By the bullshit they feed them and the things that preach,
There's no telling how far their voices will reach.
Does anybody else see what we're doing?
I swear I'm losing my mind. I swear I'm losing my mind.

  1. W.... .....

    I get shivers. Great song still.

  2. C.... M....

    This song is stupid and sounds like a boomer possessed the entire band into writing and angry old man song.

  3. A.... ....

    Rise... Please oh please change "profits" to "prophets"...
    I don't mean to be a Nazi but those are two completely different things. <3

  4. J.... ....

    I think it's funny that the main complaint is that they don't have a clean vocalist who takes care of the melody, when there are HIGHLY melodic guitar parts in all the songs on the new album. Also, there are clean vocals on the album, you just have to actually LISTEN to it first lol

  5. j.... n....

    CHAD IS A FUKN LEGEND .....HENCE THE BAND LEGEND

  6. S.... ....

    Fixed the lyrics for you guys.  Probably not 100% right, as I'm drunk right now, but hey, so the fuck what, right?

  7. a.... ....

    Constant boo-hoo ass bitches talking about "need a clean vocalist" everywhere... Maybe this isn't the music for you.

  8. F.... ....

    That chorus sounds just like the chorus in one of my bands songs that we wrote and released way before this was released-__- Even the lead guitar part.

  9. B.... M....

    I support it, even though they need a new vocalist. Great song though.

  10. F.... ....

    The instrumentals kinda ok i guess, kinda boring, but it's listenable.
    The lyrics are fucking genious though, truest thing i've heard in a long time

  11. E.... H....

    Kinda sad about D Richt leavin the band, but Chad sounds so much like him I dont even care.  

  12. M.... S....

    Just throwing it out there, listen to the end of the song and at 3:55 or so add a "wake the fuck upppp!" In your head. Fits perfectly

  13. A.... W....

    Insta headbang

  14. J.... M....

    You people and your god damn preaching.

  15. M.... B....

    False prophets*

  16. W.... ....

    FINALLY. omg. Thank you. Tell em how it is.

  17. M.... G....

    Sucks that they broke up after Changes, but now they're finally back. 

    M.... G....

    Haha they didn't break up whatsoever, there's 3 albums between Changes and this.

    M.... G....

    @Lowell Wolfe  It was sarcasm. 

    M.... G....

    Greatest comment ever

  18. T.... S....

  19. L.... D....

  30. R.... L....

    Dude this track is fucking heavy I can't wait for the album to get released and Rise do a spell check.before you post the lyrics some things are spelled wrong xD

  31. E.... A....

    These lyrics are so incredibly true, people worship incompetent scumbags. Mainstream artists or music that is "cool" are some of the shittiest human beings, playing girls, convincing the youth that getting high and drunk every day is okay. Also turning girls into sluts because they look up to people like nikki manaj, miley cyrus, kesha, and the kardashians. People worship these people and they are some of the worst people on this planet.

    E.... A....

    @Ana Oliveira You are trying to defend mainstream music to a band that isn't mainstream and is against it. So "tbh" your fuckign stupid. 

    E.... A....

    @ThatKidKc722 you're so fucking close minded. Music is music and opinions arn't meant to please everyone. Shut the fuck up

    E.... A....

    Calling me closed minded when you don't even know me. Just because I have a disliking to this girls opinion does not make me closed minded. 

    E.... A....

    Couldn't agree more.

    E.... A....

    I think it might actually be more about this scene than mainstream artists. The "voice of a generation" thing is really common amongst a good amount of bands who feel that they're the leaders of something. Preachy shit, ya know? Not to say you were wrong but I just thought I'd input my opinion! This song is outrageously good :D

  32. C.... ....

    If you guys dig this CHECK US OUT!!!!

  33. D.... ....

    So glad they got no cleans <3

  34. Y.... ....

    the best track on this record

  35. E.... n....

    WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!! 

  36. M.... O....

    the dude sounds quite angry that sometimes people on a stage have a message to send out. apparently, the content of that message is irrelevant, because the only frontman allowed to influence your opinion is Chad Ruhlig. otherwise, you're somehow being brainwashed. oh and yeah, a vague reference to the military being the real "heroes". fucking laughable lyrics.

    M.... O....

    Where did he mention the military? He said people who fight for what is right. You dont have to be in the military to fight for what is right...That could be in any situation.
    Good job misinterpreting the lyrics lmao

    M.... O....

    @***** if you were to tell me you've never criticized someone doing something you dont/cant, you'd be lying.

    M.... O....

    i'm just saying, to call me out here (or to call anyone out like that) would be pathetic and hypocritical. it's a really weak comparison. lemme guess, haterz make them famous? hah

  37. T.... O....

    Them lyric errors.

  38. R.... ....

    I like more the past single, but it's good to see there's people that are pleased with this  band once again!

  39. A.... Z....

    i love it but there is too much chugging. Ill get over it though

  40. Y.... ....

    Them lyrics though , so true .

    Y.... ....

    @***** Those* lyrics ... Better ? .-.

    Y.... ....

    @YELHSA_in_Reverse I think he may have meant in the description of the video. 'Patiently' and 'we're' were spelled incorrectly, didn't really look to see if there were others.

  41. R.... ....

    sounds like for today screamer lol

  42. N.... G....

    the only thing i've commented on any of the songs they've dropped recently is that this band needs a clean vocalist and thats still the way i feel

    N.... G....

    @***** In Hearts Wake is a great band. I'm ready for their new album to come out.

    N.... G....

    @***** funny because i was going to say that haha

    N.... G....

    @Save Whitey when i first heard departure by in hearts wake i thought cleans would ruin the song but it didnt, ihw always delivers can't see them making a bad record

  43. V.... G....

    This is a good song, that is all :)) Have a good day!

  44. n.... l....

    Of the 2 years ive been subscribed to this account. This is by far my favorite. (Opinion here)

  45. A.... ....

    Fucking Christ, this album is going to be fucking epic. 

  46. F.... X....

    Weá mala xd

  47. H.... T....

    best song so far!

  48. M.... V....

    parece que esse álbum só vai ter musica foda ! *---*

  49. O.... B....

    >_<  >> o <<

  50. A.... S....

    Drop G#! Again!

  51. A.... J....

    I'm so pumped to see them on tour @TheCobalt in C.A. with Reflections and I The Breather

  52. C.... T....

    I find it funny how you dumbass's argue over what genre a song is every single time..

  53. J.... S....

    This is probably the best Ive heard for this album so far

  54. P.... J....

    Realest shit I've heard , good job rise.

  55. W.... T....

    k this is my opinion dont need to comment on it but when you cant even understand what hes saying its a bit much

    W.... T....

    @Whitney! Please, enough of the coincidental sob stories, the internet is full of them already. Lmao, you may as well be a bieber fan seeing as you like MCR. Lisp? Don't discriminate. Oli Sykes screams with a clear speech impediment but that doesnt stop you and all other fan girls getting moist over him.

    W.... T....

    1. Listen to more of it 2. If you still can't understand well that's why they put lyrics in the desc...

    W.... T....

    You must not have the ear for it then Whitney. I could hear him perfectly fine, without the lyrics. After listening to music like this and yelling, you'll learn to be able to understand it. And stop hating on Whitney just for voicing her opinion. Pretty sure you fall under as one of the people Chad wrote this song about if you do. 

    W.... T....

    this guy is one of the best metalcore vocalist... but i guess you dont know melodic metalcore. To each his own.

    W.... T....

    I can actually understand what he is saying....

  56. A.... A....

    Scream over and over again and no cleans... really don't like the new FTFD with the old singer.... sorry guys

    A.... A....

    It's okay For The Fallen Dreams are going back to their old roots which is really good.

    A.... A....

    They didnt start with cleans so you obviously havent been a fan since the start. Go listen to Sleeping With Sirens if you wanna listen to cleans.

    A.... A....

    the rest of the album has cleans. Don't worry!

    A.... A....

    @JonahS777 I love you dude<3

  57. s.... _....

    This new album will be good

  58. g.... ....

    this album is going to be my new addiction

  59. M.... ....

    makes me wonder what the new Legend is gonna sound like, cuz this sounds just like it

    M.... ....

    8-string madness. You'll shit.

  60. S.... R....

    God I love these lyrics. Bringing to attention how shit our society is turning

  61. d.... ....

    first comment! omg!

  62. M.... E....

    i like it 

    M.... E....

    Hh Hhfi ugh ghost hd I pvn cif bv

  63. T.... ....

    I really like this song and hate to be a grammar nazi. Yet, there are mad spelling errors in the lyrics. <3

  64. S.... n....

    These lyrics are actually amazing. And the songgg. omg

  65. J.... R....

  66. G.... ....

    Nice Screamo...

    G.... ....

    @Anthony Henslee I dont see how this is melodic hardcore. This sounds more like djent than anything. But who cares labels are labels. I dont mind this gentleman calling it screamo. We know what hes talking about. Its not like we can type melodic hardcore into a search engine and find this song anyway.

    G.... ....

    they are a metalcore band with more hardcore elements then metal that is they are

    G.... ....

    isn't screamo bands like brokencyde lol?

    G.... ....

    @xCryingxMisfortunex
    dude, i love you, both bands are underrated as fuck

    G.... ....

    @xRECONCILEDX
    more like Suis La Lune, Beau Navire, Sed Non Satiata, Old Gray though
