Gideon - Calloused Lyrics






Here I am face down
The self doubt starts to rise,
Like the burning sun,
When I open my eyes.

I'm in the eye of the storm,
But I'll push forward.
Walking the hard mile wearing a smile.

Shackled no more by insecurities,
I broke out of the cell,
Unchained my mind
And swallowed my doubt into the blackness of hell.

I've grown to love the pain.
I've grown to love the pain.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.
Hardened by torment and trial.
We break the mold.

Calloused and cold,
Not afraid to fail.
Life's not a bed of roses,
It's a bed of nails.

Bed of nails.
I got air in my lungs and my heart is still beating.
Bed of nails,
I'm not afraid to fail.

Always wounded, winded, beaten and bruised,
Dazed and confused,
But I'm still standing.

This is my legacy,
And I refuse to be a product of fear.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

Calloused and cold,
Not afraid to fail.
Life's not a bed of roses,
It's a bed of nails.

Bed of nails.
I got air in my lungs and my heart is still beating.
Bed of nails,
I'm not afraid to fail.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

These are the times that try at the lesser man's soul.

Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

Hardened by torment and trial.
We break the mold.

[2x]
Calloused.
Cold.
Out of control.

We break the mold.

  31. v.... ....

    I wasn't a huge fan of their previous material and after seeing them open with this live I was blown away..... love this album

  32. J.... K....

    If anything, this album is better than Dear Youth.

  33. X.... ....

    the gideon inside anyone?

    ...and for refference i'm not a TGI fan

  34. T.... D....

    What's up guys! We are The Death In Me. A Metal/Hardcore band based out of Raleigh NC. If you enjoy Gideon, you may enjoy us! If you are looking for some new jams to listen to - we have all our songs from our debut EP Dead Bones up on our page! If you wouldn't mind taking a few minutes of your time to check it out, that would mean the world to us. You may find some new music to listen to ;) Let us know what you think! We would love to talk to you guys! Much love - The Death In Me

    T.... D....

    @The Death In Me Hey everyone! Thank you for the support. We just released a brand new single called "Dragging Chains". Its up on our page! Check it out!

    T.... D....

    +The Death In Me You guys aren't bad. But definitely NO where near a hardcore band. I don't think you know what hardcore is man. lmfao.

    T.... D....

    +instaswap Hey man! thanks for the compliment, and thanks for checking us out. We are Metal/Hardcore, which means we are a metal band with hardcore influences.

    T.... D....

    +The Death In Me I just saw you guys play at Fearcliff Skatepark in Woodbridge, VA and you guys were awesome! Super passionate and true about what you do!

    T.... D....

    Hey dudes. Checked out your band and I dig it! I definitely hear the hardcore influence to your metal sound.

  35. S.... P....

    "VERSE TWOOO!"

    What

  36. S.... F....

    The breakdown is sick as fuck

  37. A.... C....

    Gideon sounds like a carbon copy of the ghost inside. I like the ghost inside

    A.... C....

    Thats fucking crazy i literally just said the exact same thing

    A.... C....

    +Anthony Cardenas i thought the same thing. glad I found them

    A.... C....

    Ghost Inside, Wage War, Hand of Mercy, Gideon... They all sound identical, but if one of them are bad ass... THAT MEANS ALL OF THEM ARE BAD ASS!!!

    A.... C....

    ^^true

    A.... C....

    +Rusty plus for the fallen dreams and legend

  38. M.... W....

    That intro is brutal!

  39. C.... S....

    All of you shit talkers should go make your own band and upstage gideon. Cause all of you know what non boring, good music is right? Please, I will personally pay for your recording, tour, everything. Make better music. I dare you. Fuck all of you.

  40. B.... B....

    Just shut the fuck up & listen.

  41. C.... C....

    Haha fuck what everyone says both these tracks hit hard as fuck. I love this band and you can hear their music start to mature with the experience. It has raw emotion and if you can't respect development then you don't respect music. Y'all keep doing your thing, can't wait to buy the new album.

  42. N.... B....

    When did Gideon become My Ticket Home?

  43. P.... ....

    reminds me of how the cleans ruined vanna's new album. cleans are fine, but in a small amount like in their old stuff. when its littered throughout the song just for the sake of "changing their sound" it sounds unnecessary and annoying 

  44. D.... M....

    I honestly do not get any of you who say this doesn't sound like Gideon.  This is Gideon.  The singles that have been released are matured and better Gideon.  Stop acting entitled to whatever you believe you're entitled to and jam the fuck out to these awesome songs.  

  45. E.... W....

    i could see these guys being great in 2010

  46. T.... R....

    Are these guys Christian just wondering

  47. r.... ....

    some of the riffs remind me of Altars - Conclusions

  48. c.... ....

    This is the first Gideon song I've heard of, what albums of theirs should I check out or should I listen to all of them 

  49. j.... a....

    So sad...I just can't feel this as much as their last 2 CDs 😢

  50. F.... ....

    Everyone in the scene has an opinion, no one person is right or wrong it's just that "your opinion" Gideon is bad ass in their own right. When Sick to your guns and For Today brought more clean vocals into their music fans voiced their displeasure but ultimately they gained more fans. I have been following Gideon for a while now and while I don't think this is ground breaking stuff I think it's good in its own right. Hopefully the rest of the CD will be as good or better than this song.

  51. B.... M....

    Huge Gideon fan. Been with the jams since the start. Just listened to this right after "Survive," and I'm definitely diggin this song more. I really appreciate their old work, and this situation reminds me of how I felt when Volumes was putting up a couple songs from their new album "No Sleep." I couldn't get "into-it" nearly as fast as I did "The Concept of Dreaming," but after a few solid play throughs, it grows. You begin to appreciate the meanings behind the songs and it clicks. Amped up for the debut of CALLOUSED though. Not to mention, everyone in this band is cool as hell to kick with.

  52. M.... M....

    I loved this! Really different! Amazing! :P

  53. B.... W....

    Sounds like HATEBREED circa 2001, but not as good.

  54. H.... S....

    That's it! Gideon is going on my list! My CD wish list that is. ;) 

  55. J.... R....

    remembers me one song from texas in july

  56. M.... B....

    Loving Gideon! They start my days out right!

  57. J.... ....

    Guitar sounds great but a little over used lol but it sounds you know.. good?

  58. r.... d....

    and to help some plp out here. TGI, giant, hundreth and gideon are melodic hardcore, look it up.

  59. r.... d....

    duhhhh diiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhh duhhhh dunnnnn. squeak squiiiiiiicky!

  60. Z.... H....

    I dig the clean vocals

  61. p.... d....

    horribly boring band... but is the song a ''tribute'' to Title Fight or something

  62. G.... ....

    You Guys Headphones sucks also don't forget to change the Video to 1080p Because the Audio is better...

  63. C.... N....

    RRRRAAAARRRRGGGHHH!! LOVE IT!!!

  64. T.... ....

    Facedown always finds great artists 

  65. B.... L....

    I dig it. Though I hope some of their other songs will be faster and have a more distinguished hardcore-flavor as their other albums do.

  66. T.... ....

    lets be honest, this is a lot better than most of the hardcore music that comes out nowadays (not saying that all new hardcore music is shit btw).

  67. K.... F....

    Cleans remind me of Telle Smith

  68. J.... C....

    Hope the rest of the songs are a bit faster
    Doesn't really sound much like them

  69. S.... A....

    1:34 that beat drop I love it!

  70. A.... R....

    love it! :)

  71. N.... ....

    VERSE 2 !!!!!!

  72. P.... F....

    What's the deal with people not digging it? Sounds like Gideon to me. Catchy, heavy, bouncy, B flat tuning. Same as it's always been, just new songs. I'm curious. What does it lack for you guys? Serious question, by the way. Not trying to be a jerk.

    P.... F....

    Well if you listen to this album with a subwoofer it's wayyy less heavy than the last 2 albums, Costs and Milestone. 

  73. C.... B....

    Song fucking kicks ass

  74. J.... B....

    The last 40 seconds gave me hope for the rest of the album.

  75. j.... ....

    Not QUITE as heavy as their last 2 albums, but hey, bands change. Kinda sad that they went away from their vvery instrumental sound, where they had long lapses of Slow Metal Breakdowns, but hey, its one song, we'll see. Still pretty good, but sounds like every other metalcore band right now, not Gideon...

  76. R.... B....

    I strongly dislike the chorus...

  77. M.... H....

    Cant wait for this record

  78. A.... ....

    I definitely came at 1:12

  79. C.... D....

    Been a Gideon fan for a couple years and pretty stoked for this album. I'm liking how they changed it up a bit and I don't mind the cleans, Still Alive is one of those songs that I think has amazing cleans as well though this song implemented them more. Music is still heavy they just changed it up a bit. Floral hoodie bundle preordered

  80. D.... J....

    Ugh. 1:11 had me stoked and 1:13 totally ruined it. Lol still dig the song. Been a Gideon fan for a long time now and I'm excited to hear the rest of the album!

  81. A.... R....

    Idk what people are whining about.  These guys work so freaking hard to give us great music.  I personally love the song.  

  82. J.... D....

    They've always had cleans. I laughed when I heard "verse 2" but in a good way. I'm not huge on this, but I'm still excited for the album.

  83. G.... 0....

    NU METAL!

  84. C.... ....

    EHHHHHHHHHHHH it was okay. I'm happy to hear they are getting more creative with their guitar work, but overall the patterns are decent, the cleans were meh, and the breakdown was unexciting. 3/5 :D

    C.... ....

    The breakdowns wont seem unexciting when you are pitting to it.

    C.... ....

    @RJ Jackson just saw them live. was unexciting. wolves at the gate and fit for a king were much more fun :D

    C.... ....

    @RJ Jackson exactly.  I saw them with fit for a king and being as an ocean last week.  First time ever really hearing them besides random youtube encounters.  Their breakdowns live are so mean..

    C.... ....

    @Cole444Train dude i swear.... i say the same thing to people. No way. You have had to see my comment somewhere. Or great minds jusy think alike. Haha

    C.... ....

    @Judah Riggins ha no i didn't see your comment i don't think. I haven't listened to Gideon since this album came out, Costs was great, but I never got into this stuff.

  85. T.... ....

    1:09  oh lord.... that break <3

  86. J.... P....

    From 0:00 to 0:36, it sounds like it could be a Slipknot song. Well to me it does. 

    J.... P....

    @Chris Tew Were you meaning they're good or bad? Like were you insulting Attila by saying you'd rather listen to Hed PE because they're bad, or were saying that you like Hed PE? 

    J.... P....

    @Kevin Benoit
    basically I'm too old to be into what Attila is doing...I'd still throw on Hed Pe for some laughs & enjoyment though.

    J.... P....

    @Chris Tew haha I like Attila's music but their lyrics sound like they were written by a middle-schooler (I'm 19 btw).

    J.... P....

    totally agree. if these guys are going to keep sounding like that, i cannot wait for what comes next

    J.... P....

    I personally think this sounds like a hatebreed/jasta song in most parts

  87. A.... ....

    The squealy breakdown thing at 1:10 reminds me of the breakdown in Bed of Nails by Texas in July, and coincidentally bed of nails is a part of the lyrics in the song, funny. Pretty good song tho

  88. I.... H....

    Guys they have always had cleans..

  89. M.... F....

    WELL THIS WAS DISAPPOINTING......

    M.... F....

    @Alex Magnaus you dont deserve to listen to this great music if you're going to be a little baby about an album cover lmao. my goodness...

    M.... F....

    @*****
    well yes i knew exactly people would go to the immature turn and attack me for my own little opinion.

    M.... F....

    @fiendylex lmfao. i just saw the video on their facebook page (which i liked a couple of years ago before you even knew about them) and saw that it didnt have the same type of album art which they had done with their previous records, (so it came to mind, what if i say WELL THIS WAS DISAPPOINTING, and make people think that im disppointed at their new song) and it worked, everyone here is butthurt over a small opinion, and me not deserving to listen this song, get out pal, you dont even deserve to be on youtube if you're gonna act immature about a small opinion on youtube. <- if someone writes a long speech to someone on youtube to someone like you, (it doesn't mean im angry and pissed, just means i can't stop laughing at you for getting upset about this hahahahaha)

    M.... F....

    WELL THAT WAS ENTERTAINING

    M.... F....

    @Alex Magnaus I'll admit it was a bit misleading, but honestly even if you were talking about the song, who gives a shit? If people are gonna bash on some guy for not liking a song then they don't appreciate freedom as much as they let off...

  90. B.... ....

    So, like, am I the only person who absolutely loved the "verse 2" line? 😂

  91. c.... b....

    This single goes hard af. Can't wait for the album.

  92. A.... B....

    This is the worst lyric video I've ever seen.
