Silverstein - The Wind Shifts Lyrics

This is the Silverstein I'm talking to my friends 😊😍

im 33 and have been listening to Silverstein since I was in high school 2001, the tragic year with my cheap mp3 stick player.

this album was gold.

_That fuckin’ riff, man._

that riff.

best intro track of this album

Depression

this song excites me too much

Wow this song really speaks to me

These lyrics are about as deep as it gets.

I always liked this song, but when i read the lyrics at the same its like.... god damn that's next level shit!

Honestly ive learned so many new words from this song rather than school. I wanna say they wrote this song with a dictionary at their side or maybe theyre just brilliant. But fucking amazing song

This song title is my graduation cap motto. I just got my BA in Paralegal Studies and graduate in Decemeber <3 Also, this was the first song they ever performed the first time I saw them live. It's the most perfect thing I've chosen to do.

"Stop being yourself, if you want to be happy"

Gave me shivers. What a powerful line. In an age where there is such an focus on not changing who you are, I think that line really drives home how much more important it is to become who you want to be. Silverstein are one hot piece of musical meat ❤

Dat Line Blew My Mind

i took away a totally different interpretation.... because he alludes to suicide and talks about being destined to be different, it makes me think that 'being happy' is an illusion society has created, therefore if they stop being their true selves - stop being different and just be like everyone else - they wouldn't have so much resistance and life would be easier and they could just be content like everyone else. the problem is: you can't do this if you're being honest with yourself. so the choice is a false 'happiness' or an honest discontentment.... at best.

Shane told is the only lyricist in the world who can use words like "massachusetts" "abhorence" And "elequence" and actually make it work and sound badass in a post hard-core song.

YOU HAD ME AT GOODBYE

48 people suck

Omg my boyfriend told me what he listens to and I'm shocked I've never knew he likes screamo music

isnt it beautiful?

This is the best song of Silverstein!!!!! I miss them.

to me every song off this album is just perfect, but this one just has that bit of awesomeness

miss them? they didn't go anywhere.

Maybe I was the one that went far away.

discovering the waterfront will always be the best.

chance ehrsam It's definitely my favorite by them.

In fact I have a countdown about my favorite Silverstein songs on my channel!

This is absolutely their best album. I very much enjoy I Am Alive In Everything I Touch, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every single song on this album and continue to be amazed at such a well written piece of work. Excellent!!!

I love a lot of their old stuff...but I'd have to agree. I FUCKING LOVE THIS ALBUM!!! EVERY SINGLE SONG!LOL I can not get enough I'd fucking looooove. to see them live oh lawd

They are fantastic live.

Robert Lewis completely agree. It shows how talented they are man. The first day I got the CD in the mail I was on my lunch break.

I was late as hell back and jammed out for like 2 hours amazed at each song that came next ❤️

Cody Nett they are fucking awesome live

Awesome

Holy crap the riffage

Maybe we should walk away from this
Take our proverbial walk into the sunset
Maybe we are destined to be different
We were designed for more resilience than this
But we don't know how and we live in the now
If we were smarter maybe we would try to fake it
Maybe we should walk away from this
And stop being ourselves, just stop being yourself
If you want to be happy

Schizophrenia

my favorite song of this album

In my opinion, best Silverstein album.....

SO fucking good

That.Riff.

ikr holy shit

This song still kicks butt.

still kicking butt in 2019

Love this song

Some parts of this song sound like spencer from underoath

@djmarx14 Indeed.

reminds me of old mmf

@Redexs Francisco The time a band is created has nothing to do with who has better music.

@dethpunch1998 of course it matters.. duh

@Redexs Francisco If I start a band that's absolute shit, and then you start one ten years later that's completely amazing, my band is still shit, despite being older.

@Brian Donovan mutty mullins is listening to silverstein and underoath way back lol.. mutty mullins is a underoath fan..

@Redexs Francisco Okay you dumb fuck I love Silverstein. I've never even heard mmf's music, I'm just pointing out a fallacy in your logic.

Definitely Custom Inking some of these lyrics

That fucking RIFF though.

It's fucking groovy, but southern metal at the same time just amazing!

Hit's so fucking hard doesn't it?

This song has just made me love this style of music again. 

favorite song right here! :0

GUYS!!! This amazing song and the rest of the album is on official sale at Amazon for just 10 bucks and free shipping, BUY!!! I want more of this!!!

If we were smarter maybe we would try to fake it.
Just... Yes.

aye nice profile pic my dude. twy is sweet.

This song and their entire set was awesome the other day. I can't believe I got to meet them and how nice they all were. Bring on more UK tours!

Si;verstein is the best! :D

just stop being yourself
if you want to be happy..

Two words.... "HELL YES!" :3

By far the best song Silverstein has ever made.

Every song on Discovering the waterfront is better than this.

"Actually" That's every song they have ever done or will do or cover...

Gonna see these guys today with blessthefall, could not be more stoked.

Idk where you are but now in the future theyre on the 15th anniversary of when broken is easily fixed tour. Im going to see them along with Hawthorne heights capstan and as cities burn.

*All these feels*

i love it !<3

This song is absolutely PHENOMENAL! Oh ya, so is this awesome lyric video, and the rest of This is How the Wind Shifts, Addendum included! You guys are so amazing and inspirational, I am so stoked that I'll finally get to catch you live in Pittsburgh in April! Bravo, keep doin' what yer doin'! I've been a huge fan since Discovering the Waterfront, and at the rate you're going, I'll be a fan for many, many years to come!

@Joe Willard fuck thats a sick gig im in australia would so go :(

@Joe Willard funny enough amitty have a new song  called pittsburgh lol!

@jordan scott Yes, I found this out like 2 weeks prior to the show! My cousin is a huge fan of AA and mentioned it to me. Pretty good song, although the lyrics are pretty dark! That and they've been playing it on Octane on Sirius/XM satellite radio as well. Such a phenomenal show though, I caught a guitar pick from the new guitarist from Silverstein! But no worries, mate, I'm sure they will be coming to Australia soon enough... Just maybe not the same lineup!

@Travis Ni Did you end up going to see them as well?!

nice mate sounds really good and yeh hope so

This is genius.

There's a band called Death that began in the 80s. That's genius. This is just good.

I think I have a good idea of the meaning behind but will someone please explain to me the ending? I just can't lol

His screams remind me of Matty Mullins from Memphis May Fire! Ghost In Te Mirror!

'Did i forget who i was, did i forget just where i came from' 
silverstein, love it. ♥ 

Probably, no. For sure the best lyric video I have ever seen. Good job!

lol then watch bullet by hollywood undead. 

26 times isn't enough.

Omg Im miss you Guy's :) I Love you guy's forever <3 great song So Beautiful to my Ear's <3

seeing these guys live and meeting them in November, omg I cant wait

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH OHMYGOD.

Loveeee silverstein !!! <3

I disagree with you, then. "Discovering ..." was epic, but they've made better albums then. But it's only my opinion.

No. Not yet. Listen more, more, MORE!!!

Does hearing this for 26 times in a row means that I have an addiction?

sounds like Underøath.

Damn this band is so awesome, can't wait for the next tour!! Hope they ll come back to Sydney :)

Yeah it's a breakdown.

Is it just me, or is the chorus extremely reminiscent of under oath?

No that would be a riff seeing how it's used throughout the song! It is fucking sweet though

At :30 that's not a riff it's a breakdown isn't it?

that riff, 0:30, so fucking epic... O.o

Hey guys check out my drum cover of this song on my channel!

Damn silverstein i havent been following them much lately so this is new but wow very agressive and in your face i like it!

They played this song so good at warped 2013 Houston Texas

This song is amazing ;-;

that riff.. gdamn!

This band are distinctly better than I remember.

Alas, they still have the whiney bitch singing though.

kinda dark, thats why i left em three years ago, butvhey, ill listen to this, then we came as romans to get my spirits up xD keep em strong

Love this band :3

Don't ever disrespect silverstein. They have been around the scene too long and have their own unique sound, unlike alot of other hardcore/metal bands. Reevaluate what good music sounds like.

Sounds to me like you don't like good songs. Silverstein are great and this album in particular is freakin' amazing

i really love the lyrics

two words.... HOLY FUCK!!!!!

That was an epic vid

I'm pretty good at English but this song showed a few new words hah,

amazing song amd album

you dont know good music then

Very nicely done. One of the best lyric videos I've seen by far.

Could someone please tell me in wich program i can make those effects for the lyrics?

frickin perfect

I've done this with Bullet For My Valentine. :3

This song is so good,,, no lie i mean all their songs actually have meaning and i love it

check out my cover of this song ;P

touché

How is it possible this song has only one hundred thousand views and one direction has millions?

A google searched definition proves nothing!

According to the medical-dictionary "sexual intercourse is the sexual union between humans involving genital contact other than vaginal penetration by the penis". ....

You don't even know what sex is.

This is sex.

I live for the bridge in all silverstein songs.

Mmmm... Dat guitar!
