Funeral For A Friend - Broken Foundation Lyrics






Waking up at three am, drowning in the haze
Of broken dreams and broken promises.
Scared of making a fucking difference,
Could you answer me, and tell me the truth.

Leaving this place so empty handed,
Beaten down, with a bad taste in my mouth.
Leaving this place so empty handed,
Beaten down, with a bad taste in my mouth.
Until it falls apart.

Broken foundation, buried underneath
And a smile to make the emptiness complete.
Puncture my ribs, like something more
With beaten bruised and drunken heart.

Waking up at three am, waking up at three am,
waking up to nothing.

Leaving this place so empty handed,
Beaten down, with a bad taste in my mouth.
Leaving this place so empty handed,
Beaten down, with a bad taste in my mouth.
Until it falls apart

Broken foundation, buried underneath
And a smile to make the emptiness complete.
Puncture my ribs, like something more.
With beaten bruised and drunken heart.

Coins across the floor, seasons burden me
And make the emptiness complete.

Broken foundation, buried underneath
And a smile to make the emptiness complete.
Puncture my ribs, like something more
With beaten bruised and drunken heart.

Broken foundation,
With beaten, bruised and drunken heart.
Broken foundation,
With beaten, bruised and drunken heart.

    WAKING UP. TO. NOTHING!!

  2. M.... S....

    Man I miss listening to this. Such a banger.

    M.... S....

    This band was amazing, and this album was simply perfect.

  3. Y.... A....

    I love all of their records and still I find myself going back to this song most often. Imho it's their best and it's genius.

  4. R.... P....

    is this in Dam by any chance?

  5. P.... P....

    why did they break up ??

    P.... P....

    Because they felt they'd done everything they'd set out to do, and that they'd taken the band as far as they possibly could

  6. R.... 9....

    I've got my cell full of each and everyone of his albums...I carry them everyday of my life... just like my inconditional best friend. Thank you FFAF.

  7. s.... h....

    gone but not forgotten awesome band

  8. B.... b....

    ahaha I thought this was about someone who smashed their foundation bottle... whoops

  9. S.... C....

    When these videos come up on youtube for me now I am filled with a mixed sense of awe and sadness.

    Awe because FFAF never fail to make me love music more than anything in the world. They have made my favourite rock songs, my favourite pop songs, my favourite metal songs and pretty much defined my entire guitar style.

    Sadness because the knowledge that the band are braking up in just a couple of months so that they won't be releasing any new material for me to fall in love with makes me sad. It is sad to know that a group filled with such talent is coming to an end.

    S.... C....

    +Sarah Charles The new stuff is shit - be thankful

    S.... C....

    +Adam Ford I actually really enjoyed Chapter and Verse. Conduit, far less so.

    S.... C....

    Maybe it's just because I have been listening to them since Casually Dressed came out in 2003, but I liked every album they ever put out with the exception of Tales..., but looking back I don't dislike that one as much as I did in 2007. Thankful for every album this band ever put out because each one of them is completely different, none sound the same

  10. E.... C....

    Funeral for a Friend were a band I grew up listening to in my high school years about 15 years ago. I've played guitar for about 10 years as well so believe me when I say they are masters of rhythm guitar and I can't really find anyone to top them in the UK now. I had all of their albums up to and including Hours but started to listen to other genres of music since them. 

    I just had a whim to listen to my favourite bands of the past and I'm pleasantly surprised but Funeral for a Friend - never expected them to be solo type people and especially for the post hardcore genre. I always knew they had the talent to solo but never showed it. Dynatwenty is 100% correct, too much guitar for the genre but that doesn't make the song bad - it makes it bad ass.

    Great stuff - I'm missing my childhood and Oh God, I'm 27 this year...

  11. c.... m....

    super awesome!!!!!!

  12. d.... ....

    The 2 guitarists are over the TOP for this genre. They´ve got the METAL in it!  These riffs so sweet :D 

    d.... ....

    Kris Coombs-Roberts it's just the best guitarist in this genre. Because it's not just about playing: it's also about composing and feeling rythms. No one have these riffs in post-hardcore, it's a personal sign of FFAF and that's because Kris is here.

    d.... ....

    As a metal fan, I wholly approve of FFAF.

  13. W.... ....

    Just me or does it sound like 'the panties in my mouth'? 0.o

    W.... ....

    "bad taste in my mouth" actually,but you're so funny :D

    W.... ....

    Actually it does and I'm kinda embarrassed to say that I've been making that mistake in the three years I've known this song... ._.'

  14. R.... S....

    This really only got its popularity from Danny. But it is really good!

  15. S.... M....

    Scroll back up. Down here is the trash part of town. Where all the assholes hang out and fight. You don't wanna be seen around these parts, just turn and scroll away.

  16. M.... ....

    sebastian <3;)

  17. f.... ....

    i've completly forgotten about this band...omg, what have i done?

  18. T.... ....

    AA's inspiration are FFAF so sthap hating on each-other guys.

  19. R.... H....

    Yes, I gathered that, but I'm here for FFAF, not because some singer in a shitty generic Kiddie Metal band said this is his favourite song

  20. B.... ....

    Because this song is danny's favorite song!

  21. F.... T....

    MELKWEG! AMSTERDAM!

  22. P.... T....

    I dont even know who Asking Alexandria are

  23. R.... H....

    Because their singer apparently said in an interview that this is his favourite song, and now all the AA fans are coming here and listening to this.

  24. D.... S....

    I don't like post-hardcore (nor do I like the new AA). Although if I may add that I don't care if it's generic, as long as it sounds good.

  25. R.... H....

    So you'd rather have constant, generic breakdowns over one of the bands that helped to form the Post Hardcore genre?

  26. J.... L....

    Funeral For a Friend, my favourite band ever! If you don't like the music go and clear off. :)

  27. c.... f....

    Why is every one talking bout AA ?? If u don't like this then kindly fuck off :)

  28. D.... S....

    Old AA over this, any day.

  29. T.... ....

    Oh, I understand now :DD.

  30. S.... ....

    No, i only was supporting your comment, with the ''stop coming here and say that'' i was talking to the other people xD

  31. T.... ....

    Say what? I think you answered a wrong person's comment, 'cause I don't really understand what you're sayng.

  32. A.... ....

    Fuck yeah!

  33. A.... ....

    you guys are stupid late, and beyond stupid itself if you never knew funeral for a friend without Worsnop telling you guys about them.

  34. M.... P....

    double platinum thanks to their producer polishing their turd songs and girls thinking the guys from AA are hot

  35. S.... ....

    One of the most coherent comments i've seen in this video, enjoy the fucking music and stop coming here only to say that, plz.

  36. T.... ....

    Platinum albums don't matter shit... With your words, PSY is the best musician on the Earth, because he has the most viewed Youtube video... I don't have any major problem with Asking Alexandria, this band deserves much better comments then "Oh, Danny's favourite song"...

  37. T.... T....

    thumbs up if ur watching this bcoz its danny's fav song :D

  38. C.... S....

    DANNYS FAV SONGG <3333

  39. A.... L....

    AA is not a shit band FYI why does everyone have a fucking problem with them?

  40. T.... ....

    Yeah the shit band with a double platinum album.

  41. N.... ....

    Amen dude

  42. G.... ....

    I was there when this was recorded! They were at Melkweg with Red Tape Parade, We Are The Ocean and The Blackout. Was definitely one of the best nights of my life. I can even see myself and my friends a few times in this video haha. Love this band.

  43. B.... ....

    I can't listen to this song without thinking he's saying "With the Panties in my mouth."

  44. V.... ....

    Am a fan of both FFAF and AA. Both sides need to stfu and listen to music. And AA's fans please do have some respect for FFAF. They're one of the pioneer bands for post-hardcore. Fans of FFAF should stop "diss-ing" AA as well, if AA is shit they won't have today.

    Funeral For a Friend's Recovery.
    Asking Alexandria's Dear Insanity.

    Go listen! Respect each other music. :)

  45. l.... ....

    FFAF is live better than AA

  46. D.... D....

    Do not play the "created the whole genre" game. Taking Back Sunday was before FFAF. FFAF didn't create anything, they made the genre better, but they didn't invent anything that had not been done. Asking Alexandria are just fine to be honest, you can call them what you like, but trying to be edgy by hating them will not get you anywhere.

  47. E.... L....

    its cause this is danny worsnops fav song

  48. N.... ....

    Hope less than FFAF fans

  49. j.... r....

    i believe AA was there because of FFAF.

  50. k.... g....

    AA all they way, sorry;)

  51. M.... V....

    So fucking true

  52. M.... N....

    true, true.

  53. L.... L....

    Asking Alexandria, i mentioned it!

  54. A.... D....

    WHAT THE FUCK!? LOL They were famous before AA even existed! FFAF were the first post-hardcore band to make into a major label and they sold over a million albums on their album debut! They have over 20million plays on Last fm. and the only reason why they aren't more famous is because WMG removed their most viewed videos for Juneau, Into Oblivion and Roses For The Dead years ago. Get your facts right you sir.

  55. J.... A....

    this comment was painful to read..

  56. K.... L....

    What the actual fuck, do you even KNOW what you're saying? FFAF was playing music before AA even EXISTED.

  57. B.... A....

    What the fuck? Of course not! FFAF is so much older than AA.

  58. R.... H....

    I think you're the one who needs to get their facts right if I'm honest. Funeral for a Friend have been around for over 10 years, their debut album 'Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation' came out 10 years ago and was rather successful, and a much better album than anything Asking Alexandria have ever done. So yeah, they've been famous for quite a while now

  59. I.... ....

    nop... this band here is just famous cause danny from AA said this is his fav song... that gave them a popularity boost :p get ur facts right sir

  60. S.... B....

    Danny's Favorite Song ;-)

  61. D.... ....

    No, just no.

  62. S.... ....

    Screaming is over rated and out dated but damn did the lead singer improve his scream

  63. S.... ....

    probably none. just sayin'

  64. E.... S....

    Stop bitching about AA. You don't like the band? Good for you, it doesn't mean it's shit, there is good and bad in every band. Just shup the fuck up and enjoy the music.

  65. B.... ....

    Asking Alexandria sucks. The scene today is all generic and garbage.

  66. O.... T....

    STFU about Asking Alexandria. I like them, but this is FFAF.

  67. o.... v....

    there's a chance im seeing both AA and FFAF in june at jera on air festival thing :D

  68. a.... c....

    I FUCKIN' LOVE YOU

  69. P.... C....

    Indeed I am one, but I'm seeing funeral for a friend in July :DD

  70. j.... b....

    Asking Alexandria son basura, puede gritar pero que cante como hombre por favor!

  71. R.... H....

    Why are most the comments about Asking Alexandria? Funeral for a Friend are much better, and without them Asking Alexandria probably wouldn't exist

  72. V.... ....

    Asking Alexandria. This song right here is the favourite song of Danny Worsnop who is the lead singer of Asking Alexandria.

  73. F.... B....

    AA? biggest fan! I have been a member from the group since i consensually raped my girlfriend while drunk.

  74. T.... S....

    I love Amon Amarth!

  75. M.... ....

    Irrelevant? This is YouTube, the land of irrelevant. Live with it. No one is keeping you here...

  76. M.... ....

    Best. Reply. Ever. <3

  77. M.... ....

    It doesn't. That's why I said "I wonder"

  78. m.... ....

    because amy lee is fucking epic :P

  79. X.... ....

    Why AA? why not AAA? or F? and why u picture Amy Lee bro? lol

  80. I.... G....

    with her panties in my mouth ?@@

  81. f.... m....

    AA? not the biggest fan!
    thats pretty small if your talking about boob size.

  82. A.... D....

    Everybody go listen to the new song 'NAILS' !!!

  83. f.... ....

    by shit i mean really good stuff

  84. f.... ....

    dayum this is the best screaming ive heard from them (ive only listened to their older shit)

  85. S.... F....

    Or it could be 'bad taste in my mouth'

  86. F.... ....

    It's "With a blood taste in my mouth'' isn't it? :D

  87. C.... H....

    Danny's fave song apparently :3

  88. S.... ....

    AA? biggest fan!
    I have those batteries in every remote in my house, they perform superb!

  89. P.... D....

    Nice song, but nothing beats the old FFAF mate. To all the newbies hearing this, listen to some of the old songs like streetcar, roses for the dead, built to last, now those are some bloody nice beats eh? aha cheers.

  90. b.... ....

    Because other people were mentioning them...

  91. j.... ....

    Great song but nothing beats FFAF- History

  92. T.... ....

    Awesome, was there when this clip was shot...That was one hell of a good night :D

  93. A.... D....

    Yes! but I'm completely blown away...
    FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND IS FUCKING AWESOME

  94. I.... ....

    They have regressed though. They used to be a lot better :3

  95. s.... -....

    me ;D love the song

  96. A.... ....

    Too much guitar, I aint even about that life, not saying there not good, just saying i like it a little more heavy.
