Silverstein - A Midwestern State Of Emergency Lyrics
I am a dead man, I’m crawling into a trap.
A horizontal response, I'm laying down for you once again.
You've taking what's granted.
I've said goodbye to my friends, I've thrown myself headfirst into this. Close the curtain and strand me.
Found myself lost again, with even more excuses, and even less concern.
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees in the tall grass, where they won’t find me.
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens they come back screaming, taking me away.
I’ve given all I can give so don’t let me
Go back between Woodward and Cass, cracked concrete and broken glass.
This run down block with my name in lights.
Your saving grace, my final rites. 11 Miles from where I was when I conceded my head, embraced my lost control.
Innocence in a state so pure, you hear the demons calling to take back what you stole.
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens they come back screaming, taking me away.
I lost a piece of myself, and I forgot to slow down and just breathe and it’s scaring me.
I’ve given all I can give so don’t let me go.
I am a dead man and it’s the only way it can end.
I don’t know who’s side I’m on anymore and there’s no starting over.
So lay me down in this field and put me under the trees in the tall grass where they won’t find me.
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens they come back screaming, taking me away.
I lost a piece of myself, and I forgot to slow down and just breathe and it’s scaring me.
I’ve given all I can give so don’t let me go.

Silverstein A Midwestern State Of Emergency Comments
Yes I agree
This is certainly not what I started listening to back in 05, and in this case, I can say I'm definitely okay with that fact.
For anyone concerned, when he mentioned "Woodward and Cass" he's referring to streets in Detroit. It's known as a very poor area. There are abandoned buildings there where "tall grass" grows and they always find bodies there from homeless who go there to sleep in the winter and don't wake up. It's a pretty sad area. Anyone else from Detroit here feel free to add :)
for those kids who's saying that this awesome band is new well let me tell you, my 2000-2005 life was saved because of them! Im glad you found them now. rock on.
best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats the song that plays at the end of this one
Much respect from the D!
Woodward and Cass
I didn't know Mauricio Pochettino is now the singer of Silverstein.
That beard has done wonders for Shane, feels kinda weird now looking back and seeing him without it.
What is the last song? Have played 3:40
Emarosa - People Like Me, We Just Don't Play
The only problem I have with Silverstein is they are so much better live then they are on record haha
I love silverstein! 2019??
I love this band.
But even more surprised they're still goijg2
You know they don't make shit for money
The only thing fueling the. And keeping them together is the love of music...
*whips and nae naes*
Always love these boyz
So lay me down in the field
And put me under the trees
In the tall grass
Where they wont find me
That's my favorite part of any Silverstein song. I always get so hype and motivated.
Phuk who ever disliked this video!!!^,...,^
Easily THE BEST Silverstein song ever
Me sentí tan feliz saber que silverstein haya sacado otro álbum pero me pone triste que tan poca gente lo escuche la verdad es una excelente Banda y se merece mas
Love how they reference Detroit <3
Too many cuts
all 1700000 views are mine
Every time I listen to this it has such powerful 1984 undertones.
Thank you for sticking to your roots, Silverstein. Fresh yet familar. Great song.
been a silverstein fan since the beginning, i love all their music, including their old eps, but this is my favorite album from them, ever!
A
Preview after a dance Gavin dance song brought me here!
This song was 🔥 af though! 👍🏾✊🏾💪🏾
Absolutely love this
He looks like the leader singer of Hawthorne Heights in 2007.
I know why you're here (2:23). Welcome.
Impact Frames //\ you couldn’t be more accurate my dude.
What is the song of the outro?
People like me, we Just don't play...
November 2k18
Incredible songs, incredible band.
I just listened to their pop goes punk cover of Runaway and didn't listen to it for years before that...
It was a spiritual revelation to hear this again. Thank you so much Sillverstein (^__^) <3
Who's bumping this in October ?
Can somebody please give me the premise of the video?
Oct 2018 Anyone? Legend post hardcore Band 4ever Silverstein ❤️🤘
I heard a snipped of this song on the radio in August of 2015 and all I could remember from it was "under the tree" and it took me until today to figure out what song it was. I got in the car and that exact part happened to be playing on the radio. Finally, I can rest.
i fakin love this...childhood memories
SILVERSTEIN FOR LIFE.
This song gives me chills! One of the first times ive heard it and im getting the nostalgia feels or something for some reason
Holy fuck. I used to be a massive Silverstein fan back around the time When Broken is Easily Fixed was out but I never really followed them past Discovering the Waterfront. Then this song pops up and smacks me around like a gimp. Goddamn this is good stuff.
Best. Band. Ever.
They never fail, there music is always awesome imo they change the music Business
Buena rolita 😄
I firstly listened to these guys as I started to become Emo scene kid in high-school back then in 00's where someone call the time as emo-core era but later I turned my back to it to get into 90's revival emo in 2010s. Somehow, I just start to get back to emo-core again. So I click on this video by suggestion
And found they still make a nice catchy emo-core song :)
2018 anyone?
That diesel spool tho 😍😍😍
Why this look like 5 40yr old dads got together and made a band
What song is playing in the end?
Nathaly Blanco Emrosa - Kids like me we just don't play
No1significant thanks
What is the song at the end of the video??
Shelby Ryan Emrosa - Kids like me we just don't play
I went out on a limb to fucking find this song lol
Idk why but i love this band
Can anyone pls tell me the title of the song in the end? 😭😭
I listen to it at school
One of the guitar players is my uncle
cool duck oh shit dude that's dope
I fucking love this band!! From age 16 to now (27). You guys are amazing. Your music has got me through some shit.
Still got it!
somebody stop the video un 1:14 !!! and enjoy :)
Anthony from Smosh?
i hate this song bc its at the end of dgd lyric video
Cant stop listening to this greatness
He looks like Caleb from beartooth lel
Mmmm eat my fucking ass crack mmmm yeah just like that ..... Oh sorry .... this not pornhub ???
The best band! <3
can someone send me a link to a flannel that looks identical to the one he is wearing? I need it in my life. Please boss help.
This song is really beautiful. The part where he imagines lying lifeless in the field nearly moves me to tears each time.
0:04 Hey what's up guys it's scarce here
DOUBLE UPLOAD! NO , TRIPLE!
A Simple Plan and Silverstein tour would be legendary! They can end in Canada because they're both from there!
my absolute favorite song right now. I love silverstein so much!
As always boys, top notch. Keep up the good work.
He looks like Bashurverse
Minus the breakdown and decline of his channel...... I miss that channel :(
One of the fewest songs i enjoy from this album.
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
@Amber Cohen Idk dude, wasnt really feeling this album as much as their last or Rescue. Who knows I might grow into it later, happened before.
Amber Cohen funny thing is, I actually grew into it and the album is actually pretty solid to me. Time to do the same to Dead Reflections cuz im not really feeling that one lol.
I think their albums sound so much better on 1.25x speed. I always edit the tracks to that pace :)
WHAT THIS IS SOOO GOOD
THIS IS WHAT SILVERSTEIN SHOULD'VE ALWAYS BEEN!
fucking grody tub scene!! awesome shit dogg!!
Is this song about depression?
about a relationship
Thepianist126 it's about sucide
it's about a bad relationship that led him to suicidal thoughts
this is bad ass
kiddie metal, lol
this is not metal, not everything in life is metal, chill.
Nicholas Jones No, it's post hardcore screamo. Chill
is that what punks say all time? chill?
i know it's post hardcore, you need to chill
The lead singer has the largest frontal area of any face I have ever seen
When I hear these songs I could really relate to it struggling day by day finding out who you really are.
still have the sound i remember ,still screaming like i remember and hits me the same as i remember !!!!
i Like scene dynamic vocals and music is consistent by Silverstein since first album until 2016
You know. For me, Silverstein always has the nostalgia feeling. it honestly feels like i've listened this song in middle and high school. not saying that its not new. its so fucking good i cant believe it
I am NOT ashamed to have this on repeat
RespaarTheWolf it's the kind of breakdowns and sing alongs that bring me back. I love it.
"the torment of existence weighed against the horror of nonbeing"
that's what this video makes me think
Silverstein, they change music label ?
I love the new sound because it only shows that the band has matured from kids to adults same with several other bands
singer look like Jarrod Dines and Tom Delonge had a baby.
this song is so amazing live
Silverstein will always fill a void in my life, thank you Silverstein
seeing silverstein for the first time in 7 days. CAN'T WAIT OMGGGGG
random youtube commenter soma
porque me recuerda a papa Roach broken home el video la música nada, pero que paso con la banda
he looks like he is related to dan howell
I wonder when people will realize that progression is what bands do. If they didn't like their new sound, they wouldn't release the music. Use your heads.
keep wondering
Silverstein's amazing! \m/

I really feel like Silverstein is one of the only "post hardcore" bands that have continued to put out great and very successful music since they started
geoff3610 math rock. Math rock is usually better than post hardcore.
Squidward Testicles i view this as 100% post hardcore, but dance gavin dancd depends on the song
Your missing senses fail, and A day to remember. 🤦♂️
My thoughts exactly. Haven't listened to Silverstein since A Shipwreck in the Sand, they still sound great and have their sound! You listen to some bands to today and they have change 10 music genres within 5 years, you can't even recognise them.
john uhls they are mix between post hardcore and hardcore punk
I like the part where they play the music
this my jam SwiftRage \m/
