Monuments - Doxa Lyrics






This is the reason why I can't sleep tonight
They're killing on my left dying on my right

Everywhere I look fills me with fear
Beliefs I once had become so unclear
I dare to rub out the lines draw from a new idea
But I'm stuck in this prison
Stuck in this prison
No one can help me break free

Born sick commanded to be well
Stuck in a losing struggle
It's a dark existence meaningless and cold
Impossible to escape from

Trapped inside this fist of rage
Held down by the hand that made me
There is no escape while the shepherds block the gates

Now do I qualify for survival
I don't fear death like an American idol
Are we the ones that have to bleed
What luck that we don't think

Silent screams who wants to testify
Instinctively we try to hide
Breathlessly I hope to re-design
How I think amongst all these painted smiles

Nothing is set in stone
We fuel the machine that feeds of the death of our own
Nothing is what it seems
We follow the trend that keeps us in time
What is real?

Nothing is set in stone

We fuel the machine that's feeds of the death of our own

Straight away I wont hesitate to call you out
Straight away I can see that your all afraid
Its time to make up your own mind its time to make yourselves

Rectify beliefs
I won't be held down by the hand that made me

    +El Nómada ha! yes.

    T.... ....

    +El Nómada Monuments are Structures that speak Volumes.

    T.... ....

    I heard their Reflections are Architects and Novelists now...

  20. h.... c....

    is this progressive metal?

    h.... c....

    This is progressive metal.

    h.... c....

    @MrJaneyDoe but djent is not a genre, its a style of playing guitar and a guitar tone. So this would be classified under progressive metal.

    h.... c....

    Honestly I don't see them as Progressive. Djent yes, but I don't see what's Progressive about this. Djent, Technical Metalcore.

    h.... c....

    Oh god just leave now

    h.... c....

    not really. TesseracT definitely is though. check them out if you haven't even though this comment is three years old. lol

  21. T.... H....

    reminds me of sikth in a great way

    T.... H....

    Ted Hamlin how could it be in a bad way, though?

  22. H.... H....

    I can't listen to this song at any lower volume than maximum

    H.... H....

    same here

  23. k.... ....

    Best Riffs!!

  24. M.... A....

    Love it! Probably the 32nd time I've listened to this song!

  25. S.... 1....

    i'm officially a badass motherfucker after listenin to that song

  26. T.... N....

    Matt Rose kills it on this track 

  27. J.... F....

    One of my favorites!

  28. M.... D....

    Best song.

  29. P.... ....

    That ending. Umph.

  30. S.... S....

    This isn't djent, and Matt is mediocre.

  31. K.... W....

    matts voice is amazing

  32. J.... H....

    matt-spencer-dan the three kings of djent

  33. S.... R....

    gonna miss matts vocals for sure

  34. S.... B....

    sick song and sick vocals

  35. D.... M....

    Attempts to play Doxa on guitar...loses finger...totally worth it.

    D.... M....

    Daniel Marino-Austin wrist explodes

  36. C.... D....

    because of you, i will never hear this song correctly again. Ha ha, It's been forever ruined :'(

  37. C.... S....

    so you're assuming someone who doesn't listen to djent can't tell the difference yet my 13 year old nephew who doesn't listen to metal can. If that's the case i guess all music sounds the same to a "foreign ear" you can stop trying now....

  38. j.... ....

    Btw I'm just telling the truth, I actually like this band

  39. j.... ....

    Adtr isn't bad at all,and I play guitar, djent is one of my styles, it does sound the same. Each band just adds their own touch

  40. R.... A....

    any chance of the track, no vocals?

  41. Y.... Z....

    Sleepwalking

  42. F.... ....

    I'm only at Blue Sky Thinking, and my leg literally hurts from legbanging

  43. g.... ....

    rule one .....never show your anger
    rule two ....i'm wearing your mom's first abortion as a hat

  44. C.... S....

    that's great logic it sounds the same to you because you don't play an instrument so i should care? ADTR is simplified garbage. Oh cool the same riffs i've been hearing for years and years don't forget the power chords someone call the 80's. you can go listen to your black veil brides now along with the other 16 yr olds who have never picked up an instrument

  45. V.... ....

    Lol. Great now I'll never get that out of my head.

  46. C.... ....

    guitars need to be brought forward more, like off there instrumental version

  47. A.... M....

    "Empty vessels make the most noise". That's where Matt's vocals shine. His low's and highs are well accentuated in that song.

  48. T.... ....

    Check out my vocal cover of MONUMENTS new song "The Indulger" on my Youtube Channel and tell me what you think of it guys please :)

  49. t.... ....

    The vocals were pretty damned obnoxious. Suppose it's a good thing they're on the hunt for a new warbler.

  50. A.... ....

    Tabs, anyone?

  51. D.... I....

    finally found some good sh1t

  52. A.... ....

    1:58 : Orgasm

  53. E.... ....

    omg, fucking hilarious xDD

  54. J.... M....

    Fucking lol'd

  55. j.... ....

    stop regulating the internet communist liberal >BU

  56. J.... P....

    much better than architects

  57. E.... ....

    1:03 "ballsack, karates, big worms, stop cat, my noose is stuck"

  58. C.... S....

    telling me to grow up for calling someone out for using gay as an insult because it's 2013 and that shit is getting old...really. Are you half retarded or just an ignorant jackass? i only went there because that shit needs to stop and anyone who still thinks that's ok is a piece of shit. As for you go back and read what i said before you become a keyboard warrior and when you're done learn to fucking type. tell me to grow up because i'm sick of people using gay as an insult...is a joke like you

  59. c.... k....

    Fighting on the internet.....:l

  60. I.... ....

    lol i don't like adtr i'm just not a small minded prick who needs self assurance by putting bands down over youtube comments, and btw if you look at those videos they are about 3-4 years old. I don't listen to any of that stuff anymore i'm just a good person trying to stand up to an asshole who ruins the entire thought of metal music because it's a constant war for "originality"

  61. C.... S....

    the minute you used gay as an insult you lost all credibility and showed just how small minded you really are which shows why you like ADTR..simple music for a simple mind. i told you why ADTR is trash which you ignored completely not that i thought you could come up with something intelligent in the first place. you can walk away and go do shitty drum covers of an average at best band. put the keyboard down and walk away you're done.

  62. I.... ....

    you just missed the whole point of what i said..... they are DIFFERENT FROM MONUMENTS! NOT THE SAME GENRE! They had different influences when they were growing up and therefore came out as a different band, Justin Beiber and 1 direction are equally gay and have 99.99% of the same shit in their songs but people still consider them different from eachother, my main point is theres no need to put a band down because they arent the same as the music you like, we are all fans of some sort of metal

  63. C.... S....

    Different from what....they are so generic it's not even funny. Call a band different when they really push a genera or do something outside the box not do something that's been done again and a gain. Sorry but if i wanted simple garbage i would listen to green day i want more from music. ADTR does nothing new and doesn't do anything well for that matter. Cool the same three cords...that's real "different" huh

  64. V.... ....

    ADTR sucks ass, end of story.

  65. I.... ....

    ADTR trash? no. Different, Yes!
    is from a different genre and age of music, granted monumends and adtr are only a couple years apart in when they started up, it makes a huge difference on their influence and style of music.

  66. I.... ....

    now do i qualify for survival,
    i don't fear death (1:46) "like an american idol, are we" the ones
    who have to bleed, what luck that we don't think
    I have no idea where you got those words from

  67. C.... S....

    no she's right ADTR is trash

  68. i.... m....

    WOAH.
    I love Monuments too but I wouldn't take anything away from ADTR, they make great music. If you want to bash bands that deserve it, bash BOTDF, BVB, or Nickelback. There is much, much worse than ADTR out there. No disrespect to you or your opinions, but I just figured I'd share mine.

  69. A.... C....

    absolutely amazing album. thank god for real music and not some ADTR garbage.

  70. I.... ....

    Everyone watch the play through video. Its them live without the singing and it's just amazing

  71. e.... d....

    i've never surfed in my life way to try to judge a book by its cover though in a half ass attempt to seem like a bad ass :P try getting a life that doesn't revolve around bitching at people in a youtube comments section for joking around you sad ass troll

  72. S.... G....

    Oh you don't need to tell me, it was already obvious enough. You're not a creative kinda guy, that's okay though buddy, you're just the stiff, boring type that's too high strung to laugh at something simple, so you insult it instead. You'd rather attack something than just leave it be, and in doing so, you add to the collective douchebaggery of the world. I feel bad for people like you.

  73. e.... d....

    on the flip side though it can lead you to the deadly 5th level of the youtube underworld and you end up watching optimus prime fuck pikachu asking yourself how the hell did i get here?

  74. e.... d....

    they are not being serious they are joking. sarcasm and irony broski

  75. E.... M....

    I made a drum cover of this song! Check it out! :)

  76. S.... G....

    My good man you must have a terribly dull sense of humor if you actually went out of your way to insult someone else's.I highly doubt you could be as creative.

  77. A.... ....

    Honestly I think he kinda tried to make his vocals sound alil unnatural. I think it adds to it's uniqueness.

  78. D.... H....

    Fucking amazing, Good shit.

  79. G.... ....

    a question of taste I guess ;) Indeed, they are!

  80. J.... S....

    @filipeguitarrista83 just my humble opinion

  81. C.... ....

    Personally I like the cleans more than the screams. Though I can see what you mean by "they don't seem to come naturally".

  82. T.... ....

    01:02 "Ballsack" i just cry!

  83. V.... S....

    No matter how low I have my volume, everything is still too loud. Good song though!

  84. A.... ....

    I for some reason can't get into textures, i do think they are all really good musicians though.

  85. J.... S....

    not sure if like the cleans...they dont seem to come naturally

  86. J.... S....

    wish youtube had more comments like this instead of everybody hating on eachother.lol

  87. B.... C....

    Never before have i laughed so fucking hard

  88. Z.... .....

    This shows that with tweaking, you don't need an axe fx to have a great sound.

  89. F.... C....

    The vocals remind me of Sikth minus the accent, nice and clean.

    Gotta love youtube's suggestions on music sometimes, damn good music can be found.

  90. G.... ....

    This is ok, but bands such as Textures and Meshuggah are way better imho

  91. A.... ....

    3:46... Thats all i should have to say.

  92. b.... ....

    If he wouldn't went that 1 semitone higher on the falsetto part, I would have died!

  93. H.... W....

    Except its actually a 7 string. ><

  94. S.... ....

    for me, clean vocals are all the vocals that are neither screamed nor growled. for me, their ''cleans`` are enjoyable, that overly edited shit that sound just like the vocals used in pop just sound like shit. theyve included the right amount of editing, thats what i meant to say with my comment. another good example for good clean vocals would be the new album by the faceless, autotheism.

  95. R.... ....

    you call that clean?

  96. S.... ....

    just superb, i love how theyve included normal clean vocals and not that over edited shitty clean like some bands do. such things really ruin music, but as for monuments, great shit, you made the right decision with clean. good job, go on :)

  97. K.... G....

    Perfect

  98. D.... P....

    no, they're not
