Relient K - Devastation And Reform Lyrics






Fear can drive stick
And it's taking me down this road
A road down which
I swore I'd never go
And here I sit
Thinking of God knows what
Afraid to admit
I might self-destruct

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems
Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Usually I'll cause my own first hit
It seems to me to be slightly masochistic
But there'd be no story
Without all this descension
So I inflict the conflict
With the utmost of intention

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems
Without creating more

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started

Thank you God
For giving me the insight
So I might make
These wrongs right
If and when
There ever is a next time
Cuz failure is a blessing in disguise

Pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
The shell of what I had when I first started

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
The shell of what I had when I first started
(When I first started)
(The shell of what I had when I first started)

Relient K Devastation And Reform Comments
  1. J.... J....

    오랜만이야

  2. S.... ....

    10 years old? Still good!!

  3. C.... P....

    Listen to this song in 1.2 speed. Then come like this comment if you did it and liked it!

  4. F.... F....

    The best guitar cover on YT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFBBlSe6F9c

  5. J.... _....

    Why is it that dang near every song from this album played in my mind when it happened?

  6. E.... L....

    So I discovered this song p recently and I just realized-
    I wear a parka every day that looks exactly like the ones they're wearing in this photo. Spook.

  7. Z.... S....

    This sounds soooo slow after listening after nightcore version

  8. A.... S....

    Tf is the night core version more popular than this one ppfft stealing views

  9. S.... ....

    Where I learned the word "masochistic"

    S.... ....

    me too.....LOL

  10. N.... W....

    When I was 14, this was actually my entire mind, I felt terrified, kept constructing my heart until it was metal then sometimes I'd just feel like I wanted to die, I was afraid to admit I hated myself, now I look back and see how much of a bombshell I was

  11. i.... s....

    god i love that opening riff, so damn funky.

  12. L.... R....

    AMO ESSA MÚSICA <3

  13. V.... ....

    Amo esta canción y este grupo♥

  14. M.... A....

    who was here becaue of nightcore?

    M.... A....

    Laciel Urishihara WEEB!

    M.... A....

    Laciel Urishihara but yeah me too

    M.... A....

    ememmmemem me

    M.... A....

    **koff koff**






    *meh.*

  15. G.... X....

    first person to listen to it in 2017

  16. E.... ....

    I completely forgot about this band... How?!?

    E.... ....

    I did as well like ??? I've been missing out on life

    E.... ....

    doesnt surprise me that the nightcore version has like 9x the amount of clicks than the original. tbh i never heard the original of this song (but not surprisng for me. i never heard i kissed a girl original either)

    E.... ....

    oh wow, i heard to original of this before the nightcore of this

    E.... ....

    Emimooly barely even kno what nightcore is honestly. Probably cuz I'm a player and have good taste 👌🏼🤘🏼;)

    E.... ....

    SizzlingVibe Good taste? What does that entail?

  17. B.... ....

    better at 1.25 speed

    B.... ....

    I'm pretty sure that's just nightcore

    B.... ....

    your mom gay

  18. S.... J....

    the acoustic performance of this song was equally as good...Matt Hoopes is awesome on the guitar

  19. A.... ....

    Relient K is one of the bands that rescued my teen years.

  20. V.... M....

    I'm 15 1/2 I've listened to their song so many times as it describes my fucked up life cause I destroy everything I love

    V.... M....

    Valkyrie Midnight keep on man your emo phase will be over soon

  21. M.... D....

    cant say if i like the original or the "nightcored" version more

  22. K.... M....

    This song sounds better at 1.25 speed.

    K.... M....

    +Kyle Manocchio sanic your running too fast

    K.... M....

    Of course someone with a sonic profile pic would have discovered that

  23. L.... B....

    I used to listen to Relient K when I was like 10-12ish. It's funny how I'd make fun of the lyrics because they didn't really make sense to me, and now I look back as a recovering addict and I'm like "damn". So many of their songs relate so well to addiction and the road to recovery. Glad I looked them up again.

    L.... B....

    very true, death bed especially...

  24. C.... G....

    Oh man this song is perfect for Reginia Mills/The Evil Queen from TV's "Once Upon a Time".

  25. K.... 4....

    for a song that was made 7 years ago, it is amazingly good, sounds like something that wouldbe created sometime last year. New favorite song :3

    K.... 4....

    omg, ikr #acronyms

  26. E.... ....

    Free nightcore verison just change speed to 1.25

    E.... ....

    +Dandy Candy they dont win any money with nightcore videos they would have strikes if they did

    E.... ....

    yup @MdSaavedra

    E.... ....

    Um nightcore is free...

    E.... ....

    @Nightcorespace I'm a producer and I can say yes, it is stealing. All is is a tempo change and pitch up to whatever is in relation for the speed change. Whenever I write and record, produce music it takes me weeks (sometimes a month). Making a nightcore version takes 15 seconds.

    E.... ....

    @Dandy Candy no it still would not be your own material. If you make a version of the same song it is a cover.

  27. M.... F....

    and seven years ago - they saw in the future :O

    M.... F....

    +Mr. Fluffy Leonardo Dinosaur Nice try but not quite. "Ago" means past, not future and you can't dismiss the "Five Score," which is a hundred years. The album was released in 2007 so 107 years ago would mean 1900 if the title was to be taken literally, though it probably isn't. Besides, it would hardly be clairvoyance to say an upcoming year is going to exist at some point.

  28. G.... P....

    one of their best songs

  29. T.... ....

    lyrics are misspelled.
    "Usually I'll cause my own first hit
    It seems to me to be slightly masochistic" thats the right verse :)

  30. a.... 7....

    I love this song.. O.O <3

    a.... 7....

    La dispute!

  31. D.... H....

    lyrics are misspelled.
     "So I inflict the conflict 
    With the utmost of intention"
    is the correct verse 

  32. M.... ....

    And you forgot a thing called grammar, probably only takes an extra 5 seconds of your time.

  33. M.... ....

    Lyrics are wrong.

  34. F.... C....

    Easily my favorite album by them. :)

  35. a.... a....

    agree. matt theissen is a brilliant writer! just love his music! <3

  36. i.... ....

    YES! A tour with switchfoot. Freaking epic haha how I wish.

  37. H.... ....

    Relient K is a modern classic Rock Band. People are going to be looking back and really appreciate this band. Unfortunately they somewhat limited themselves by being religious. Matt Theissen is a brilliant writer.

  38. i.... m....

    great sound/lyrics

  39. i.... ....

    Muy buen tema me encanta !!!!

  40. C.... B....

    Chenm approves :)

  41. T.... ....

    Thanks. :)

  42. p.... ....

    now its 5!

  43. B.... ....

    Liiiiiiiiiiiive! I love this group

  44. S.... ....

    D: Everything will be better bro :D

  45. M.... ....

    Sweet! Hahaha, friend of mine just asked me to drum in his band. :D Maybe I'll see ya out there. ;)

    M.... ....

    MrTestMusic Ey I know I'm a bit late, but if it's still around, what's the band called? Might ave ta give them a listen

  46. K.... O....

    Relient K 4 EVER

  47. P.... ....

    Anberlin isn't like Relient K at all (although I love Anberlin)

  48. P.... ....

    You SUCK!

  49. P.... ....

    Wow.. I'm 12 too! I've been listening to Relient K since 2003 and I love them!

  50. C.... I....

    jb is better but this ok

  51. a.... ....

    My best friend introduced me to Relient K last summer and since then they've been one of my favorite bands (and yes i listen to rap and hip hop but I appreciate any kind of music, but everyone has their own tastes). I just came across this song though and I'm glad that I did because I've faced a lot of rough times with that same friend since last summer, but every song of theirs is so relevant and helps me through so much.

  52. T.... ....

    Sometimes this is the only thing still driving me.

  53. S.... ....

    Anberlin ?

  54. X.... ....

    you should check out eyeshine on youtube, they are unsigned but extremely good with some cd's out.

  55. M.... ....

    It's just another sign of society slipping into a state where it doesn't care about quality anymore. MTV went from something pretty cool to what it is now-- shows about pregnant teenagers and whether he is or isn't dating her. Since music is such a deep part of humanity, we not only connect it with how we're feeling now, but memories of the past and in this case, memories of a far better time in our own lives.

  56. r.... ....

    whoa me 2...well 3 months later...

  57. S.... ....

    Pandora is nice :D

  58. e.... ....

    anybody notice the shadows?

  59. f.... ....

    this and I Need You are their best songs, imo

  60. m.... ....

    So it's 5am, and I'm sitting here with my math homework trying to get it done, and I'm just listening to this song instead...

  61. s.... ....

    @AARmy706 Why? So long as you enjoy it then who cares right?

  62. b.... ....

    Absolute best Relient K song hands down and so true to my life

  63. M.... ....
