Menzingers, The - Gates Lyrics

This really touched my soul 😭

Still bangin' 2019

nobody:
me: IM MARCHING UP TO YOUR GATES TODAY

2019 any1??!

This whole album is fucking gold, cover to cover. Every artist seems to reach a peak, and at that peak is one great album, and this is it. I love their other albums too, but this one is just so good

Beautiful songwriting

Saw them live in Scranton in December. Been listening to them for years and I can tell you right now one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

Pretty sad that songs like this don't get played on the radio for people to discover. I feel people have somewhat lost the meaning of music. This song still gives me feels of when I first heard it. Great for a fire and some beers!

This whole album♥️

I still love this song in 2017 !!!!!!

I remember listening to this for the first time and just replaying it over and over

My cabinet brain of canned thoughts.

Been listening to this track for years and somehow I keep coming back to it. Classic!

The chorus sounds JUST LIKE The Promised Land by Bruce Springsteen

Still love it today on 03/13/2016.

Jill Taliaferro The menzingers were the last concert i saw with my very first love

Postmodern poetry.

I am the pain that beats through your temples
Every morning when you wake up
I am the boy with alcohol poisoning
From all the parties Chris was throwing
That summer they took us in
Like every other American
For getting drunk around back of the Lion's Club
Waiting for the shitty bands to finish up
And some kids played hacky sack
while the others just got high

It's not hard to fall for a waitress
When you both smoke
Smoke the same cigarettes
You'll get seated as diners or lovers
You'll get the check as friends for the better
You'll carve your names into the Paupack Cliffs
Just read them when you get old enough to know
that happiness is just a moment

So I'm marching up to your gates today
To throw my lonely soul away
'Cause I don't need it
You can take it back

And they will make examples out of us
Like when they caught you in the CVS parking lot
But I fed the liars
Everything I got in my cabinet brain
of canned thoughts
Everything I've got
It was everything I've got
In my cabinet brain

So I'm marching up to your gates today
To throw my lonely soul away
'Cause I don't need it
You can take it back

Yeah I don't need it
You can take it back

Thank you

THANKS CHRIS CRESSWELL

@wholelifetrip ???

No way is it the same Chris?! haha

i saw his cover of gates.......and that´S how i discoverd the menzingers. ;)

Perfect song.

I saw them live last night for the annual holiday show and this one was so amazing live !!😍

i fucking love the menzingers, his voice is not the greatest, but the lyrics are so beautiful and i can almost always relate.

very good albums thanks jj

Awesome this was uploaded on my birthday! ....two years ago, still cool

Amazing

too bad the new album isnt as good as i expected it to be :(

Wohl eines der besten lieder die je ein mensch komponiert hat!

it's not hard to fall for a race horse when you both smoke smoke the same pole

penises usually taste good with a side of plum sauce. mawfuckas.

Think these are really great, very refreshing. Just wish they wrote some more upbeat songs, they all seem pretty melancholy

Got an older sound to it. Good shit.

Bit of Greetings from Asbury Park era Springsteen?

A friend introduced me to this band about a month ago, and I cannot make it a day without this song.

A few years apart but it'll be the same for me , finding this band over and over again every year for a new song at time

"when you get old enough to know that happiness is just a moment" ....what a beautiful line...

I dare you to find a better "underground" band that hasnt been ruined by hipster

Faceless troll, gets offended. I bet that happens a million times a day. I would assume about 10 times a day to you. Try meditation it helps a lot.

@***** I like setting troll traps.

I got a barrel of trolls. Doing my part in helping all trolls reform. 

Geovane Morgan I wouldn't say they're ruined by hipsters. I mean, if anything they've insured the band's longevity by spending their trust funds on merch and really rare EPs. haha! I get your sentiment though. I would also like to nominate Lucero.. They have quite the hipster following as well. in the last 4 years I've witnessed more patchy beards and ipa bottles at their shows than a I can even comment on with a witty metaphor.

According to Wikipedia these guys are a punk band.
Bruh. This is NOT punk.

your a loser shut up and never judge an album by its cover, unless its got a pretty sweet cover

This girl's tits were always to unproportianate for me. It always bugged me out, so i never listened to these guys. 'till now.

Co-Main Event Podcast!!

All I have to say... Thank you for this music. Sincerly... thank you.

Wish the new album had a bit more rough vocals. Chamberlain waits is the best album by them IMO. The screams on that album were amazing. Raw, and rough

If a troll lives by himself in the woods does anyone know he exists?

You know, this song's a bit too poppy for me, but the Nature Sounds really give it that ambiance it was missing sounding the way it did!

I guess I understand why people enjoy this, just can't get into it

saggy boobies ;D

I'm all lost in the supermarket . . .

sounds a lot like a Gin Blossoms song... In a good way.

There are very few bands that have me saying "Wow, this is a phenomenal band" before the song ends. The Menzingers have made me say that on more than one occasion since I found out about them.

Never heard of these guys before. 30 seconds in, "aw yeah. this is what I need."

the most underrated bands are the best

sadly, the first guy is right

god that chorus is so emotionally charged, love it.

How the fuck is a band getting popular a bad thing??! Let them. So long as they don't start making music just to sell records but rather because of what they have to say, it really doesn't matter.

This band is too talented to get popular. The majority of People have shit taste.

Et seulement 47 404 vues ...

So so good.

i have a bunch of stickers that i got from warped tour and most of the bands are screamo and i thought this and was going to be a screamo band but it's not, its actually decent music :D

seeing them tonight!!

hometown represent! support the zingers!

Boško, imaš nevidjenu sreću što si naišao na The Menzingers. Uživaj u najboljoj muzici.

@boskoantonijevic Dude, who cares. If you actually hear the songs, it's just punk that's been stripped down into rock songs.

Lucky, they are amazing live!

The record cover is a good proof for the fact that pregnancies are a dangerous business :D.

Motherfucking masterpiece.

This album made my life.

Just when I thought they couldn't beat Chamberlain Waits...

I just dont think i like this new album, i like change, but chamberlain waits was to perfect, none the less ill still buy this cd because i enjoy this band too much

@TheXpozaaaH holy shit really, epitah plus universal praise ont he new album, plus the new album being very radio friendly, yah these guys are gonna blow up in the next couple years

Saw them last month along with ADTR and rise against. They're amazing, I just wish I knew who they were earlier so I could have appreciated them more while seeing them

@trollzfort3hlolz i went to see Rise Against at Chicago. i saw The Menzingers, liked them, now I'm looking into them. ADTR was there too, i still don't like them. Rise Against was amazing though, that's why they're my favorite band.

Hella saggy tits.

@McFaddenCovers Same dude, ADTR's fan base is the worst. and their music sucks. The Menzingers are so amazing and so chill and Rise Against just always puts on a great show.

The poetry that these guys put into their songs enlightens me so much. Gives me hope for a better musical future.

Love The Menzingers after they showed up ADTR in Orlando this year.

@McFaddenCovers agreed man!! i really didnt enjoy listenin to adtr but the Menzingers were a FUCKLOAD better then them so it was worth seeing them

I remember hearing "Gates" at Fest 10 for the first time. I knew right away that it was going to become one of my favorite songs.

@McFaddenCovers I was thinking about going, but I've seen The Menzingers and Rise Against four times each. I hate ADTR so I'm passing on this. I'll just wait until Fest 11 to see them again.

This is a good sign if their new record is going to be like this.

A little old school, a little amateur, yet very professional. Just love it! Thank you!

@McFaddenCovers I saw them on tuesday, along with a day to remember and rise against. I was really impressed by these guys.

Epic song.

Amazing! Cant wait for the album.

So fucking stoked

as amazing as ever!....

I suddenly remember what it means to be alive
