Heartsounds - Drifter Lyrics






This is
A spiritual decline
An affliction of the heart
A possession of the mind

A welcomed collapse of my head held high
You see, these days and weeks of futile breath
Have worn me down so that there’s nothing left

And inspiration only fails me…
Only fails me time and time again
(Time and time again)

No, it shouldn’t take a miracle to get out of bed
But to summon the strength
Give me a reason to stand
And start over again

Show me a sign that all is healed in time
And I’ll show you ten more that suggest otherwise
Come on and prove me right

I’ve seen
This vicious cycle repeat
More pills but less soul
At least I’m on my feet

I’ll drift through the day just to get back to sleep
I’ll drift through the day just to get back to sleep
Or self-meditate my way into the arms of relief
Into the arms of relief

No, it shouldn’t take a miracle to get out of bed
But to summon the strength
Give me a reason to stand
And start over again

Show me a sign that all is healed in time
And I’ll show you ten more that suggest otherwise
Come on and prove me right
Prove me right

This is
A spiritual decline
An affliction of the heart
A possession of the mind

This is
A spiritual decline
An affliction of the heart
A possession of the mind

Heartsounds Drifter Comments
  1. A.... P....

    THIS IS A SPIRITUAL DECLINE
    AN AFFLICTION OF THE HEART
    A POSSESSION OF THE MIND

  2. P.... A....

    I don't give a fuck what record label theyre on.

  3. R.... L....

    Ben's voice is so lousy

  4. s.... ....

    Heartsounds signed my copy of this album when I met them in Southampton last year : )

  5. T.... ....

    But the label has went to shit from going from Punk Rock, Skate Punk and Melodic Hardcore bands to shitty scene bands.

  6. U.... ....

    this song is sex !

  7. R.... ....

    Great song!

  8. W.... ....

    Wait whats better than choking someone?

  9. F.... ....

    @ohmygodnotthebees Shitty label? The label started by Bad Religion that launched Rancid, Offspring, Pennywise, and NOFX? You call that a shitty label?

  10. L.... T....

    So now people have a problem with what label a band is on? I could give a shit less about the label a band is on and, quite frankly, it's the last thing I even look for when checking out a band. I look for, oh you know, whether I find the band enjoyable and to my taste.

  11. W.... H....

    @TheNapalmDealer me too

  12. V.... ....

    Light This City > Heartsounds

  13. k.... ....

    @ItsLaihinen yeah I had sampled these guys awhile back and appreciated the instruments but seeing these lyrics written out it just sounds like someone trying too hard to sound wordy/smart

  14. e.... ....

    surprised they get so much hate. i guess its just the shitty label they're on. i set my friends on fire and other trash

  15. n.... ....

    This is called "melodic hardcore". It's a genre, basically analogous to "skatepunk". I like it. If you want it to be something else, go listen to something else. God knows there's enough pop punk AND screaming hardcore stuff out there to eat your heart out on...

  16. P.... ....

    apparently lyrics that repeat "me and my friends come first blahh blahh and fuck all else" have the most "meaning"...

  17. N.... L....

    How does this not have meaning?

  18. J.... R....

    This song really speaks to me right now and most people won't understand the lyrics when they do make sense . I really love this band and if you don't, then go away? No ones making you listen.

  19. B.... ....

    @headbangerjonte It's skate punk. It all sounds the same.

  20. B.... ....

    @zamstrom Well, Epitaph uses WMG for distribution. But honestly, who gives a shit? The band writes and performs the music, they choose who they want to handle the label/distribution shit.

    Who are you to say that Epitaph was the wrong choice for them?

  21. Z.... ....

    Man, I love Heartsounds but the one thing that pisses me off the most is..ITS UNDER WMG. WHAT THE FUCK. That is the most ANTI-PUNK thing ever.

    Fuck WMG.

  22. E.... H....

    this really sux if you want to hear hardcore look up bullet treatment

  23. A.... S....

    @DanCaldana if someone honestly thinks this is "hardcore" they must have got hit over the head with a frying pan. cause its more pop/punk.

  24. b.... ....

    These lyrics are great, a lot better than all of the other pop-hardcore bands out there. Except maybe Set Your Goals. They have some damn good lyrics.

  25. A.... S....

    Why in the hello kitty is there an effin' Justin Bieber ad before this?!

  26. I.... S....

    @ItsLaihinen You're subscribed to ICP and you wanna talk about songs with meaning?

  27. I.... P....

    @ItsLaihinen they all mean something to the person who wrote them

  28. G.... ....

    @esplover1 yes, TWExotics spelt 'spelt' correctly... and what?

    On topic: not a bad song, i just wish the lyrics would make more sense

  29. R.... ....

    shitty lyrics

  30. C.... R....

    @TWExotics "spelt"...............

  31. u.... d....

    still cant believe the vocalist from Light This City is the guitarist for Heartsounds. so weird.

  32. S.... ....

    lizards dance and the snails fly away would've been better lyrics

  33. J.... ....

    they finally got signed

  34. T.... ....

    they spelt "possession" wrong

  35. A.... D....

    song=great.
    nuff said

  36. L.... ....

    Remember when lyrics used to have meaning?

  37. D.... C....

    i think your songs could be a little more dynamic... somebody may say ' fuck you, it's hardcore ' but for me everything that's dynamic gets better

  38. J.... B....

    fuck yeah Heartsounds.

  39. T.... ....

    BEAUTIFUL!!!:d

  40. A.... A....

    This was actually VERY good.
    :D
