Motionless In White - Burned At Both Ends Lyrics






There's nothing left now that doesn't come from suffering
Victims of time, were defined by our history
Forever lost, and now I don't know who the fuck I have become
Where has my life gone?

I'm holding on to a life, I'll never get back
It's too hard to let go
I'm on the right train but the wrong tracks
Trying not to derail

Nothing is like it was before
I know not who I am anymore
Chasing something that's behind me
When will I be set free?

So what is left of this life that's in front of me?
Is there a future when you only see in memories?
When every loss, every beauty just reminds you of the past
How can you just let go?

I'm holding on to a life, I'll never get back
It's too hard to let go
I'm on the right train but the wrong tracks
Trying not to derail

Nothing is like it was before
I know not who I am anymore
Chasing something that's behind me
When will I be set free?

Broken promises left to mend
Burning the candle at both ends
No light to find my way back home
But I don't know where "home" is anymore
The sinking ship has washed ashore

This misery has got to end
What's done is done
The past is a strange place

Look, look at me now, just a fool with everything, but yet I'm still so hollow
Look, look at us now, no lights just struggling to find our way back home

I'm holding on to a life, I'll never get back
It's too hard to let go
I'm on the right train but the wrong tracks
Trying not to derail

Nothing is like it was before
I know not who I am anymore
Chasing something that's behind me
When will I be set free?

Broken promises left to mend
Burning the candle at both ends
No light to find my way back home
Cause' I don't know where "home" is
And without you, I'm hopeless

  6. L.... O....

    This sounds very Darkest Hour inspired.

  7. A.... T....

    The voice of the chirs is very beautiful, I love most all the songs, they are perfect❤❤❤

  8. A.... B....

    My WWE entrance song 🤘🤘

  9. S.... L....

    Seriously my favorite miw song

  13. P.... G....

    Can someone recomend some bands with songs like that?

  14. P.... P....

    their metalcore shit is always the best

  15. P.... R....

    Amazing love it favorite song from them😍😍

  16. T.... T....

    They do a good job in balancing optimism with realisation of the current scenario.

  17. B.... O....

    ;) I only lo

  18. C.... G....

    We accept you and Ghost Chris.... just admit it.

  19. H.... T....

    Can someone tell me the meaning of this song detail by detail please. I want to understand it. I feel a relate to the sound but I don’t understand the lyrics. Any help please?

  20. R.... 1....

    Love this song one of my favourites😍

  21. J.... C....

    sounds like piratecore at some points, but this song is groovy, i love it, although some songs by miw are wack

  22. N.... P....

    I'm not a huge fan of this album, but this is their golden song off of this album. This and Reincarnate are probably my favs by them, with the first Puppets also being a great one.

  23. T.... S....

    eargasm

  24. S.... N....

    the dedication to this song when you get a candle burning at both ends and the quote "I'm on the right train but the wrong tracks trying not to derail" inside it tattooed on you ^.^

  25. s.... ....

    AND WITHOUT YOU
    I'M HOPELESS

    fuckin love you

  26. r.... s....

    This song reminds me of like a heavier version of Killswitch Engage.

  27. C.... G....

    underrated song, is very awesome but never plays live

  28. A.... S....

    am i the only one that gets emotional over this song

    A.... S....

    Anthony Spickerman yes

    A.... S....

    We're on the same page bro

    A.... S....

    Well if you're really in that phase where you keep regressing back to chaos after finding the meaning you've been searching for, yes.

  29. J.... T....

    Kinda wish they would redo this album, like make a better mixed version

    J.... T....

    Check out the deluxe edition of the album

    J.... T....

    Smells like a bait lol

  30. L.... P....

    that guitar can make anyone's ears orgasm... or is that just me? lol

  31. A.... S....

    By far their best song.

  32. Z.... ....

    Always favored their older metalcore style from Creatures. If they kept a fast paced style like this it would have been so awesome.

  33. E.... H....

    I love this song so much

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

    Bullshit xd

    B.... S....

    +Blaze Sykra (Szikra) u kidding me?

  35. d.... s....

    this song sounds like all that remains

    d.... s....

    drew smith damm right!!

    d.... s....

    I came here to say this actually, I was getting strong ATR vibes

  36. J.... C....

    BERNed at both ends!!! #feelthebern

    J.... C....

    J.... C....

    J.... C....

    alyssa36 Mandy from Billy and Mandy. My childhood 😍

  37. A.... K....

    one of their best and most under rated songs

    A.... K....

    most definitely

    A.... K....

    You right

  38. M.... g....

    love Motionless In White they are my second favorite band forever

    M.... g....

    +MotionlessAngel ghost What band is on first then?

    M.... g....

    lol same for me (first is the black dahlia murder, theyre untouchable for me ^^

    M.... g....

    how about now?
    im going through a nostalgia trip..

    M.... g....

    Well motionless in white is my 1st favorite band

    M.... g....

    I used to think this too. I would listen to all of their albums every day and now I can't fucking stand them. They just sound like some shitty emo-punk band now.

  39. S.... ....

    I hear a huge influence of Bleeding Through in their music

    S.... ....

    +batsandbones x Darkest Hour in this song especially & usually some Marilyn Manson too

    S.... ....

    We get it already.

    S.... ....

    Bleeding Through is one of Chris's favorite bands of all time.

  40. J.... ....

    Great song, too bad it didnt get famous enough for a video!

    J.... ....

    This one would have a pretty bad video anyway

  41. J.... R....

    A couple years back, I kind of blew this album off because the few songs I'd heard off of it weren't that great. Black Damask was alright though. But now, coming back and hearing this song, I love it. I'll have to check out the rest of the album now.

    J.... R....

    +Sirjustin101 personally Sinematic is one of my favorites off this album :P

    J.... R....

    +Grell Ricca Sinematic is so amazing

    J.... R....

    @Kaleb Barber IKR

  42. A.... H....

    I like how chris screams and growls :3

  43. v.... ....

    I am so fucking obsessed with this song right now HOLY FUCK

  44. N.... Z....

    To awesome

  45. R.... M....

    One of my favourite. I swear. <3

  46. H.... O....

    Words don't explain how much I love this song. It's amazing, definitely one of my favorite MIW songs :)

  47. s.... ....

    Sounds like Dead Leaves by Sentenced.

  48. M.... ....

    M.... ....

  55. I.... U....

    This song described my life

  56. R.... S....

    1:50 Free Replay Here!!

  57. T.... M....

    As I Lay Bleeding Through With Marilyn Manson in White = this album...and I mean that in the best way possible

  58. K.... ....

    Easily one of my favourite MiW songs.

  59. N.... ....

    Sounds like Alexi Laiho at 00:30

  60. g.... e....

    this is a great song! and "22 dislikes", seriously? what the f**k was wrong with you guys?!

    g.... e....

    23 now :(

    g.... e....

    3K > 40

  61. c.... ....

    i love how fast paced this song is 

    c.... ....

    I'm a tad late, but same

  62. T.... M....

    ❤❤❤❤❤ this song

  63. M.... G....

    This fucking song is beyond amazing and I love it so much

  64. J.... R....

    This songs sounds just like a Darkest Hour song 

  65. P.... K....

    "iam on right train, but the wrong tracks" = the BEST

  66. S.... K....

    Reminds me of how Trivium structures their songs, badass

    S.... K....

    Dude what? Are you fucking serious? I'm not trying to hate or anything on a fellow Trivium fan but Motionless In White cannot even compare to the structural genius of Trivium. You can make any comparison you want the structure does not sound the same. Now i'd agree if you used another band that is mainly Metalcore such as ADTR, MMI, etc. 

    S.... K....

    +Leo Saffaleo well the chorus and the breakdown are similar to the In Waves album. Also trivium is moving on to a new style with less screaming and more singing which I like. I have been a fan since they debuted their Shogun album

  67. A.... G....

    This song is freaking awesome!!!!! i listen to this song everyday!!!

  68. B.... ....

    cool song i love it

  69. k.... ....

    nice riff

  70. E.... H....

    Can't wait to see them in Warped :D the feels of the album is amazing I love this band!

  71. Z.... M....

    This is quite the appropriate song for me.

  72. B.... ....

    This song is fucking amazing<3

  73. C.... O....

    Im in love with this song <3

  74. B.... M....

    honestly the first time I heard this song, which was about a year ago, I thought it was an old song haha xD I had no idea it was one of their new ones,
    this is coming from one of motionless in whites biggest fans, this song captures a lot of their old stuff, I love it and it stands out because of that
    listen to their old stuff, like the seventh circle, or whatever you do.... don't push the red button, destroy everything, and then listen to this and youll see

    B.... M....

    i thought the same thing too!

  75. O.... N....

    thank you

  76. c.... ....

    This song needs to be done live already x)

  77. S.... V....

    Umm.... okay... Good for you! I think...

  78. J.... ....

    you are a genius :D

  79. S.... S....

    this song never gets old i listened to it 73 times today. and yes i counted.

  80. K.... O....

    Best song that describes me in this moment.....

  81. S.... .....

    Oh my god, the feels in this song.... )': I'm crying to the best band ever

  82. L.... B....

    this album is fucking awesome but they could keep playing post-hardcore/metalcore like Creatures

  83. A.... C....

    The word you're looking for is grammar.

  84. J.... M....

    My favorite fucking song by them. Fucking epic.

  85. S.... G....

    I hated this song when I first heard it, then I grew a brain!
    MIW is incredible!

  86. A.... C....

    that is fucking boss

  87. O.... N....

    who is "we" ? and i don't have shittty spelling

  88. S.... A....

    We also don't have time for your shitty spelling.

  89. O.... N....

    i dont have time for you're shitty reply's

  90. S.... A....

    We don't have times for your problems.

  91. J.... J....

    i love this song :3

  92. R.... E....

    Reminds me of Parkway Drive in this song!
