Novelists - Souvenirs Lyrics






Let's go.

I know I can't define this life
I know you can't see through these answers I'm seeking for are way too deep to be found

My life's reflected through the wet film of my eyes (my eyes)
I've been betraying the kid that I was.
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem ?
I’ve been changing

It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that I've been changing,
and what I've been through to see clearly through myself.
through myself.

I was such a mess before this
I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself.
I'll set this world in check,
I finally found myself.

I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that I can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life

I will never let you define my way of.life.
I thought we've been watching the same sun but we're way too far to finally feel warmed.

this is my time to speak
this is the time to forgive.
I've been betraying the kid that I was.
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem ?

I didn't think the show would last so long
Though it should last forever now.
I was seeking for this,
having a chance to speak to try to feel better.
I see your face when your eyes are staring back at me.
I can fake it, it's not as hard as it seems with the detachment the drug brings

I've got these dreams to stand for,
got my voice to speak
despite the lies around me now
but this bitter taste that they're leaving won't let me feel anything. (delay feel anything)

It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that I've been changing.
and what I've been through
to see clearly through myself.
through myself.

I was such a mess before this
I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself.
I'll set this world in check,
I finally found myself.

I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that I can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life

I really love your music and really feel sad I missed your china tour but I live in an isolated city. Please keep up your hard work. If I wasn’t chasing my other dreams of being bilingual I’d devote my passion into music just like you guys. 💕

    Let's go.

    I know I can't define this life
    I know you can't see through these answers
    I’m seeking for a way too deep to be found

    My life's reflected through the wet film of my eyes (my eyes)
    I've been betraying the kid that I was.
    Do you think this life really deserves an anthem ?
    I’ve been changing

    I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life

  44. o.... h....

    This song would make even grown men cry if it had a war memorial video to it and the solo at the end just showed them placing a wreath at the epitaph as ghosts of wars past fade in behind them and 1 places his hand on the singer's shoulder

  45. F.... J....

    10 years ago they would have been way ahead of their time

  46. G.... K....

    Holy shit, this is the sound I've been wanting to hear for years... this is fcking peak metalcore

  47. L.... T....

    Definitely wish I could have seen you guys in Denver tonight!! This is my favorite song! 💕💕💕💕

  48. L.... E....

    DIE❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻KCLes

  49. J.... a....

    Lead singer reminds me of Phil Bozeman

  50. S.... ....

    This band is so amazing, so underated and so fucking talented. I feel the raw passion in this music. Their music literally helps me cope this reality.

  51. D.... M....

    This song sends chills every fuckn time. Been listening to it everyday since it was released. And it's still the most Beautiful song of all fuckn time.

    D.... M....

    Incredible album.

  53. G.... R....

    Is that the singer of "A call to sincerity?"

  59. J.... N....

    amazing job done here guys!

  60. x.... P....

    Lead guitarist deserves a lot of credit for all the stunning, melodic solos in many of the novelists tracks. He has 80's blood in him for sure.

  61. A.... C....

    Lyrics will punch you right in the dick, and smash that 'feels' button, and make you smell brutal strong onion.

  62. T.... K....

    ACTS was so incomplete but NOVELIST brought every fucking tone.
    Such a good sound and more power to guys ❤❤❤

    I freaking LOVE NOVELISTS.

  69. R.... _....

    Chernobyl for the win.

  70. M.... R....

    Is it just me or does this look like one of the maps in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warefare? Does anyone else remember that sniper mission where "50,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town... I've never seen anything like it in my entire life"??
    Well this looks exactly like that, the entire area was polluted from chemical weapons!

  71. M.... 9....

    Thanks Bugez

  72. D.... B....

    Yessss 1 million!!!

  73. D.... ....

    Man it's hard for new bands to stand out in a good way now. Way to much of it sounds rehashed but it's still sick

  74. K.... S....

    Filmed in Russia? Those are home to mad junkies, very dangerous areas.

  75. S.... K....

    The chill intro reminds me of the beginning of my last serenade by KSE. I love when bands have soft parts in their songs.

  76. P.... B....

    Great song, awesome Vid, i love this song! \m/

  77. T.... G....

    2:43 gave me chills like nobodies business

  78. A.... S....

    A.... S....

    @Ami Samad
    It has been in the 70's this
    past week, usually it is in
