I See Stars - Follow Your Leader Lyrics






Just try to keep in mind
Life is too short to be wasting all your time

So sick of playing this game of follow the leader

And it seems the world is held together by the same strings that tug our hearts
And they twist and they pull and get tangled up
And it seems we're all so stuck in this normal way of living
You aren't taught to follow your dreams
American standard
The future's as bright as it seems

There's evil in this world even if you don't see it
You have to look a little closer
You have to lend me your ears

And just try to keep in mind
Life is too short to be wasting all my time
Obsessed and terrified
We're the ones who control our lives

So sick of playing this game, FUCK

So sick of playing this game

You want truth
I can't tell you what is real on that shining box you call a life
I refuse, I resist to live this way
Solve or be solved, walk the walk

Follow the leader
Follow your leader
I refuse, I resist to live this way

Will you find your own way?

Follow the leader
Follow your leader
I refuse, I resist to live this way

Will you find your own way?

Just try to keep in mind
Life is too short to be wasting all your time [x2]

And just try to keep in mind, life is too short to be wasting all my time
Obsessed and terrified
We're the ones who control our lives [x2]

Just try to keep in mind
Life is too short to be wasting all my time

We're the ones who control our lives
Yeah, we're the ones who control our lives

  8. M.... T....

    Até hoje escuto essa música 😍

  9. W.... ....

    My favorite song on the album if that intro dont do it for you then what will yeah the lead singer sounds winey but i managed to like it and respect his stylistic choices great band great song

  10. O.... ....

    Imagine little kids playing follow the leader as this plays on a radio in the background.

  11. O.... ....

    1:53 best ISS breakdown. probably one of the best core breakdowns

  12. R.... B....

    The guitars in the chorus are so pretty. 😘😘😘😘😘

  13. d.... s....

    no pss está cool

  14. S.... C....

    So underrated.

  15. S.... C....

    One of my favortie songs and lyrics.

    S.... C....

    Nice seeing u here man

  16. H.... I....

    1:53 Jesus, I love that moment. Goosebumps, man.

    H.... I....

    Funny to see you here.

  17. J.... Y....

    LIKEEE :Q_____

  18. C.... B....

    so like, i have never been one for electronicore. I like Asking Alexandria a little better (they're not electronicore, right?) but fr, i low key fuck with i see stars. ESPECIALLY ten thousand feet

  19. �.... �....

    ребята, вы шикарны >w<

  20. H.... ....

    I see fucking stars!!!!!

  21. P.... ....

    This song is so fucking good. There's so much feeling and emotion in this song/album that I can't seem to get with their new album. This song has a strong message.

  22. Z.... A....

    ISS reminds me a lot of sws mixed with seraphim band

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

    I love electronicore!!

  24. T.... ....

    I'm not a big fan of metal or screamo. I usually run away from it like the ear bleeding plague it often is...but ISS is the ONE exception to the rule. Something about their vocals and their instrumentation just rocks, like, it's not overbearing with the screams and heavy hit drums/guitar etc, the rhythm has a heavy metal flow with settle alternative rock and orchestra style elements, and I can actually HEAR words. Inspirational words at that!
    **HOOKED*.

    T.... ....

    This is electronicore not screamo

    T.... ....

    John Lewis don't ever say screamo....

    T.... ....

    Your love of metal always starts with one band, sooner or later youll get sucked in lol

    T.... ....

    HeyThereI'mSky Screamo

    T.... ....

    Bruh so real

  25. T.... B....

    love this song omg

    T.... B....

    It blew my mind.

  26. M.... G....

    i fucks with these guys

  27. A.... M....

    FOLLOW THE LEADER!!
    FOLLOW YOUR LEADER!!

  28. B.... ....

    I hate high pitch clean singers in bands. This band is an exception

    B.... ....

    +ViolentSofa Why???????????????? Clean voices are the best <3

    B.... ....

    +ViolentSofa And DGD is another exception, clearly. Doesn't get much higher than Tilian.

    B.... ....

    +Daniel S lol I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't like sws or ptv

    B.... ....

    @ViolentSofa Haha. Fair enough. 

  29. A.... O....

    dubstep rock

    A.... O....

    Electronicore*

    A.... O....

    for me mate they ain't a normal electronicore band. They are really doing something different and special, colliding EDM/ electronic/dubstep and metalcore together, like the two genres had a brutal fuck and this was born xD. They are like, EDM hardcore, as they say themselves, so yeah, it doesnt have that a point arguing on label, but i'm just saying IMO they aren't just an electronicore band , i really dont want people to see them as another electronicore band

  30. J.... B....

    I love I see stars 😍😍😍

  31. C.... R....

    when he does those really high notes he kinda sounds like Kellin Quinn lol I got confused for a bit there

    C.... R....

    I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, though i was loosing my mind

    C.... R....

    RIGHT IM LIKE FUCKING
    99.999999999999999999999999999999999999%...sure its him.

    C.... R....

    +NOT juicceee but, not him...goddamn vocal clons

    C.... R....

    maybe your right but i shall not rest until i find who really...is singing this song, wish me good luck.. i shall need it dearly.. farewell young maiden for i will return one day and show you....Who is really singing this magnificent piece (says as the young talented and handsome bard rides away lute in hand on his majestically blinding white horse......NEVER to be seen again some say that he was captured by a troll and put in a pot to be boiled alive others say a mother dragon fed him to her babys but when all said and done all we know is that human kind will never know the truth of "Follow Your Leader" so this is THE END Farewell.

    C.... R....

    Eew fuck no

  32. L.... T....

    1.52 is EPIC

  33. L.... T....

    "So sick a playing these games" FUCK

  34. A.... L....

    too emo for me....

    A.... L....

    It's not even emo at all lol

    A.... L....

    +Alexander ­ -I'm sorry dude, but I think you need to educate yourself about emos before saying smt like that. So non-conformist ;)

  35. B.... G....

    I'll admit it, i like ISS, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that they're better than AA. AA might have produced a shitty "from death to destiny" (Danny no longer gave a shit, so there's that), but Stand Up & Reckless were masterpieces that New Demons just can't top IMO. i mean the Electro sound was good, was a major plus for me, but as for the metalcore, it has been done better. no offense to anyone.

    B.... G....

    +Brandon Gravitt I see where you come from, but Ive watched this band grow. They provide a beautiful clean vocals rivaling that of Sleeping With Sirens and supply an amazing DJ that does both the edm and primary screaming vocals. I feel they offer a good combination of the afrorementioned and that of the failure of, sad to say Abandon All Ships, while bringing a solid sound. You mention Asking Alexandria's Stepped Up and Scrathed album, but I have to argue that those are all songs remixed by various DJs and artists. Where as this sound is all created by the original band, as far as I know lol. The clean vocals of the lead and even that of the drummer as well as the combination of the DJ and his screaming vocals make for an incredibly talented band. I really enjoyed this album and look forward to their next. I really dont hope they let me down! :D

    B.... G....

    +Brandon Gravitt I saw AA a couple weeks ago with BFMV and I feel like all their songs sound the same, but i definitely enjoy the screaming.

    B.... G....

    +Grant Walker Really? Go listen to A Single Moment of Sincerity and then Morte Et Dabo and tell me they sound the same.

    B.... G....

    are u kidding Me? AA are way away from ISS their not so repetitive with there music

    B.... G....

    How dare you call "From Death to Destiny" shit ?

  36. �.... ....

    yeahhhh !!!!!!!! I go to the gim noww!!!!!

  37. R.... V....

    from dlb!!!!

  38. R.... S....

    So good

  39. M.... T....

    Amazing song and album

  40. D.... K....

    "So sick of playing these games, FUCK"

  41. D.... K....

    this is my favorite song of this album

  42. J.... !....

    1:08 Mmmmmmmmm

  43. j.... g....

    Fukin awsome

  44. J.... R....

    2:30-2:35 "fall on the wiener, fall on my wiener"

  45. G.... P....

    FuCk <3

  46. S.... S....

    This song is fucken incredible

  47. e.... ....

    Wtf dude, raping strings and drums doesn't make you a band.. sounds like madina lake got metlacore, with way worse lyrics..

    e.... ....

    Sorry, we all must have forgot

    e.... ....

    Your mom makes a band.

  48. A.... M....

    Anyone who thinks Sleeping With Sirens sings high think again

  49. b.... ....

    Sounds like prepubescent Asking Alexandria, which is not a bad thing. I see the potential in this band, they just need to improve on stuff.

    b.... ....

    "stuff". These guys blow Asking Alexandria out of the water.

    b.... ....

    you need to improve on gettin a life
    you have no say on this band
    you actually are irrelevant
    but the fact you had to state your opinion like you are somebody
    needs to be checked on
    this band is life
    very underrated
    but the best fucking band out there
    let me guess
    your improvements were wack ideas
    man shut the fuck up
    this band is the best and i dont give a fuck if this comment hurts
    people like you need to focus on your self before you start running your mouth on bands or musicians that are successful as fuck
    hav3nt you noticed that you arent famous? this band is up there
    obviously they dont need your ideas to get where they aare at
    report this comment idgaf
    but let me tell you to SHUT THE FUCK YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT THIS BAND

    b.... ....

    I know this comment is 3 years old but... what? XD

    b.... ....

    i know it’s 4 years old, but asking alexandria is shit compared to this band lol

  50. j.... k....

    I love there new album it's awesome

  51. W.... F....

    Imagine Devin + Kellin Quinn doing a song together.... Their voices compliment each other very well, it would be an incredible performance.

    W.... F....

    Rusty Shackleford with ears to see and eyes to hear was lit, there new stuff is shit

    W.... F....

    Miranda Thompson they have collabed with Danny Worsnop (the singer from AA)

    W.... F....

    Will Fendon except that Kellin can't sing for shit anymore. This guy is a real deal.

    W.... F....

    Eww... no.

    W.... F....

    Nah..too soft even for a Post Hardcore band makes me wonder if they were even Post Hardcore to begin with..Devin is just too good for the collab

  52. B.... M....

    Not half bad. I'm curious about these guys. I'm a fan of some techno and a big one on the more screamo side of rock (Crown the Empire, Memphis May Fire, Of Mice & Men, etc). Definite recommendation anyone?

    B.... M....

    @Brent Morgan PALISADES. THIS ROMANTIC TRAGEDY. ONE LAST LOOK.

    B.... M....

    @Brent Morgan ***some of*** Attack Attack! because while they have a lot of majorly sucky songs and a rather corny appearance, they do have some excellent songs. Pretty much all of This Is War, around half of self titled, and a few tracks off Someday Came Suddenly are actually decent songs. I like their stuff whenever they aren't overdoing the autotune or trying to act crunk.

    B.... M....

    Its not called Screamo, its called metal and this is Electronicore. I recommend Famous Last Words and Issues though

    B.... M....

    @***** He likes screamo side of rock and techno... so what does that mean? He wants something with electro stuff.
    I heard Beartooth and they didn't have any electro and I was confused and asked that question.

    B.... M....

    @***** I guess if he's on ISS video and he mentions techno and screamo side of rock then he would like much better some metalcore with electronics.

  53. D.... A....

    Awesome

  54. v.... v....

    just started to listened to this band there amazing i think ill be picking up this album 

  55. K.... N....

    I LOVE this band!

  56. C.... G....

    Born of Osiris all day everyday. Love this band. But born of Osiris. Better breakdowns and guitar solos

    C.... G....

    @stelpe And you call I See Stars "more simple". It quite simply fits better together. Deathcore and electronic music were never meant to be.

    C.... G....

    @James Blunt
    That is a very simple way to look at things and I stick to my point about you not being able to comprehend music very well. I'm not saying it does not fit better together, that is an opinion based thing. Have you only listened to the latest album? Because I would have to agree that the latest album is not that good but that does not mean the band is bad.

    C.... G....

    +James Blunt They work well together though.

    C.... G....

    It is all good. Here sorry it's taken so long @*****​ I will get bakc with you soon with other bands etc. :D

    C.... G....

    Some may think this music is shit. But it shouldn't matter. It's opinions. I just like the meanings of music. The way I can cope with it does alot for me.

  57. S.... E....

    I heart I See Stars

  58. F.... ....

    Danny is a screamer then this guy if you haven't noticed in the Mitch lucker memorial show! His highs and lows are sick

  59. �.... ....

    Dude this is awesome!hey i see stars,you just got a new fan here=Me*wave. :D

  60. J.... B....

    Is it just me, or does this band sound more metalcore now?

  61. T.... T....

    Very exposision and my Facebook posting

  62. g.... ....

    The little guitar melodies remind me of Confide :)

  63. C.... W....

    So sick of playing this game.. F@CK!!

  64. G.... F....

    this breakdown is addicting

  65. D.... M....

    In my opinion New Demons is their best album. Very CATCHY songs! GREAT uncleans, cleans were spot on! Digital Renegade comes second. I told Devin how much I loved the album & his voice & the guy was so grateful & happy I said that. Not a disappointing album. Breakdowns are catchy too

    D.... M....

    alright nether heard someone say uncleans befor

    D.... M....

    I totally agree. This album is amazing! Clean and unclean vox are pretty awesome.

    D.... M....

    I Agreee

    D.... M....

    +blake “lethel water” wilson unclean is the correct term for it.

    D.... M....

    Deion Mitchell Treehouse has catchier songs.

  66. H.... ....

    I knew that breakdown at 1:53 sounded familiar. It sounds like the band L.E.G.A.C.Y. - Disbelief's not exactly but the patterns are the same almost. That is all. Overall I love ISS and they have gone from good to great with this album.  

  67. T.... ....

    @***** They are getting compared because of people like you. Who put other bands down because your opinion lies with ISS.
    They are both VERY different and are literally impossible to compare by facts. This is where people like you come in.
    People start to put there opinions out there as rude and disrespectful to other bands and now fans are just addicted to putting their opinions on people.
    It's hilarious because your asking why people are comparing but then you turn around and compare them. Like...what the hell. You can be a fan but don't do what your doing. It frustrates people who have sense and don't blatantly say " YOU SUCK " to another band.

    T.... ....

    And theres people like you who don't shut up and have to bother them on what they wrote. KID just let the poor kid write what he wants and do what he has to do, your not his parent so why should you care?

    T.... ....

    Cause it's super annoying. And I get what your saying, I really do. It wasn't my place to call this person out and I know that. I was just sick of seeing these kind of posts @RECON XODST

  68. F.... O....

    I Love this band, and i see them today. I call that shit a double wammy <3

  69. A.... ....

    Yo Shane, Its me BayonettaCrimson from IMVU. I'll be back online as soon as I get my laptop back.

  70. M.... O....

    Their breakdowns are so perfect

  71. Z.... W....

    First song Ive heard from ISS. Love it.

  72. R.... B....

    I wish they would make an album without the electronics. I love everything else. That's just not my cup of tea.

  73. C.... S....

    i love it when bands scream FUCK before going into a breakdown.

    C.... S....

    lol it happened just as i read this

    C.... S....

    just to add any breakdown / bass drop this band offers my balls explode into a million pieces

    C.... S....

    Same lol

    C.... S....

    Children of bodom be like

  74. D.... Z....

    Loving this album

  75. k.... ....

    new demons is just a really really really good album, not trying to say the others weren't by the way

    k.... ....

    The band definitely matured and so did their sound. You're absolutely right, their other stuff is ok but New Demons KICKS ASS!!

    k.... ....

    @Neon1Ice After they had that session with The Ultimate Warrior ;)

    k.... ....

    +killerhippo10 tru, there best so far, hopefully more to come!

    k.... ....

    +Jesse Deleon rofl, look at the newest album, its...all...old...pop...songs...on fucking accoustic, think Im wrong? Trust me, I wish I was...

    k.... ....

    Yeah I did, I'm disappointed :(

  76. x.... ....

    Love this song...I remember when I met these guys and saw them live. One of the best shows Ive been to

  77. m.... ....

    If you love this song and you love anime check out the Anime Music Video I made with this song. It's not too bad, in my opinion.

  78. B.... ....

    This new album blew me away. So good

  79. M.... C....

    1:53 my favourite part on the whole album

  80. j.... c....

    I love that techno thing at 3:00 ish it's so fucking good and them it kicks back up

  81. S.... B....

    The dude sings like a chick. Other than that, great band so far.

  82. A.... W....

    I never really liked really high voiced singers, but Devin and Zachy sound great together

  83. J.... ....

    Born of Osiris + TesseracT + Periphery + Sorry, don't care for the vocalist = I See Stars?

    J.... ....

    ill have to disagree with you there
    Asking Alexandria+Born of Osiris- the progressiveness of BoO+Blessthefall+dubstep=...probably closer to I See Stars?

    J.... ....

    @Jackson Kyle That's actually pretty close lol. 

    J.... ....

    @Chris Crowe
    -the guitar shredding of Born Of Osiris. I See Stars is still incredible, but they dont have the lead guitar parts like Born Of Osiris

    J.... ....

    @Michael Gaudreau No one has lead guitar shreds like BoO.

    J.... ....

    Dude never diss periphery man there on a whole other level then most bands but i love Boo and Iss as well there my top 5 bands and periphery is number 1 for me there so versatile just like Iss i also like Erra and Atb alot plus many many more lol

  84. H.... C....

    Amazing use of harmonic singing with screaming with technical ambiance. It's hard to find that used correctly. Great song
    I'm so totally buying this album.

  85. T.... A....

    Just try to keep in mind, life is too short to be wasting all your time.

  86. d.... ....

    Anyone else noticing a lot more of an Attack Attack sound in this song?

  87. Z.... H....

    I enjoy how much heavier they have gotten along with their clean vocals.

  88. G.... ....

    i see stars is were it at

  89. s.... ....

    Why is I See Stars so underrated? Digital Renegade got no where near enough recognition I thought it deserved, I hope the same wont happen to this album.

    s.... ....

    @***** I am not disagreeing with you but ISS refers to their music as Electronic Hardcore Music (EHM).

    s.... ....

    @***** You do realize that Asking Alexandria's Metelcore and Stand up and Scream sold millions of copies. Your statement is invalid and I See Stars dose not get the credit it deserved, because many people only look at there first album witch was horrible compared to New Demons and Digital Renegade, because it sounds nothing like there new music.
      

    s.... ....

    @Gavin Barchus Their first album was great. The forgettable album is "The End of the World Party".. That was trash.

    s.... ....

    spoderman yes Digital Renegade is amazing and underrated

    s.... ....

    These guys are truly amazing. Front of the pack.

  90. n.... c....

    I agree

  91. X.... F....

    Idk if you guys can hear it, but at 1:14 , in the background you can hear this little scream and it sounds exactly like Link in Zelda: A Link To The Past. That was like my favorite video game back then, so that little part of this song just gets me. 

  92. t.... p....

    Sleeping with sirens - vocals + Asking alexandria - screams = i see stars .

    I love you guys \m/

    t.... p....

    Why do we need to compare every metalcore band to asking Alexandria...

    t.... p....

    attack attack electronics

  93. D.... T....

    SO SICK OF PLAYING THIS GAME! FUCK!!!!!!!

  94. H.... ....

    Eargasm <3

  95. C.... ....

    I. Fucking. Love. This. Band

  96. C.... D....

    Saw these guys since 3-D

  97. J.... M....

    im new to this band? has Zach always been the screamer?

    J.... M....

    no zach was the screamer for 3-d then left. then came back for digital renegade and this album. 

    J.... M....

    other dude is almost right, he left after 3d, but came back for the end of the world party--he's done all recorded uncleans, chris moore was just there for live performances between 3D & TEOTWP

  98. S.... M....

    Dat guitar doe

  99. Y.... ....

    I cannot get over how amazing Zach's screams sound :D He literally gives me chills <3 Best album of the year for me!
