Stick To Your Guns - Built Upon The Sand Lyrics






Day in and day out
Shit on and kicked in
The world's garbage you left sifting
Mind like a wrath flame and flood
Done talking, no one's listening

They pushed me, they pushed me
I'll rip this place at the seams
They did this, not me
Inflicted with this disease
I'm screaming, God help me
I scream as loud as I can
This is another life
Built upon the sand

You've hit bottom and you're still sinking
So small and you're still shrinking
What can you do
You've gone from alone to completely see through

Let's all watch while the hammer falls

They pushed me, they pushed me
I'll rip this place at the seams
They did this, not me
Inflicted with this disease
I'm screaming, God help me
I scream as loud as I can
This is another life
Built upon the sand

I understand you
I understand you
I understand you
I understand you
I understand you
I understand you

I understand
I understand you
I understand
I understand you
I understand
I understand you
I understand
I understand
You

Stick To Your Guns Built Upon The Sand Comments
  1. D.... ....

    this song remind me of ABR Meridian

  2. L.... X....

    When you think you're fighting against the world and your problems all alone just listen to this song. I can just say thank you guys so much for release this song, it's giving me a lot of help in my hard times.

  3. a.... ....

    Raw spartiz

  4. A.... C....

    Well... LET'S ALL WATCH WHILE THE HAMMER FALLS!

  5. C.... W....

    "I understand you"... All I need.

  6. P.... ....

    I understand you.

  7. E.... ....

    When i feel like shit and feel like the world is coming down around me i always find myself back to this song @ 1.30

  8. b.... ....

    The reason why people get so touched by Jesse saying "I unterstand you" is because it's something you don't hear very often, and even if people say it, it's often not the truth. "I love you" is a phrase that goes to waste, we throw it around like money, we love this and we love that and its meaning fades so quickly, but someone saying "I understand you" - that's so rare and so much more powerful.

    b.... ....

    blackVelvet I agree. That's deep.

  9. K.... ....

    i understand you.

  10. K.... ....

    1:12 and on is the best

  15. R.... G....

    Such a strong emotional song. First time I heard it a lot of tears came out when the 'I understand you' part hit me. Music it's one of the few art forms that can truly make you feel connected to the artists and the audience.

  16. T.... J....

    only your music makes me sense, true sense.. I must say , I love you

  17. E.... R....

    1:29 is a quote from the documentary 'If a tree falls' by a member of the Earth Liberation Front. 

    E.... R....

    Just watched the film and knew instantly that I have heard this quote before. This film is so good..

  21. B.... B....

    When it hits "I understand you", I get so much chills

    B.... B....

    Brenda Barriga same! Still here in 2019

  22. r.... ....

    they have meaningful music like this and people still choose music like black veil brides and botdf to be inspirational. smh...

  23. p.... ....

    That's exactly how it was for me, I'd never heard them before but when I went to that concert I was like wow, and i went home and looked them up and now I love them more than ever. They are really an amazing group.

  24. B.... M....

    Aggreed, I saw them last friday night and they closed with this, and Jesse gave this huge speech about suicide and letting people know when you're going through hard times. And then they went into the "I understand you" part of the song, and I couldn't help but scream with them and ball my eyes out. And I had never even listened to them before

  25. K.... W....

    the emotion in this song is just unbearable.

  26. R.... ....

    I was there that night and it was just one heartfelt and relatable performance.

  27. z.... e....

    this band has meant so much to me over these past few years and even stop me from making harsh decisions.With songs like this one "3/60" "Such Pain" "enough is enough" and a few others. This band speaks to me, they know human struggles. I cannot wait to see them (hopefully) at soma. so STYG thank you.

  28. K.... O....

    this band means so much to me and can relate to so much that they write , i finally get to meet the people that changed my life this saturday

  29. T.... ....

    I have no idea.

  30. R.... ....

    sounds like Ed Norton's voice.. But what's it from?

  31. T.... I....

    They really care about life, everyone at their shows and everyone supporting hard truths are considered family to them.Really brings out emotions when almost 100 people are crying around you. Fantastic

  32. J.... A....

    I just saw him live last night. Apparently this song is about his cousin committing suicide. It was a very emotional song, and a great show.

  33. 1.... ....

    1:33 Eargasm!

  34. p.... ....

    Yeah, that's when it hit me. All my videos got deleted but man, if I could relive that night there's no doubt in my mind i would do it all again. That was one of my favorite concerts I've been to so far.

  35. h.... ....

    Such an amazing show, I was there myself. Them and TGI.

  36. S.... U....

    such a fuckin amazing band..

  37. r.... ....

    Any idea what it is from?

  38. K.... G....

    Those "chills" everyone always gets when they listen to this song... I think it's the human soul finding a connection, like an "ah hah!" moment in our brains. Whether you want to believe that moment to be spiritual or not is your decision, but you can't deny how special it can be.

  39. L.... N....

    I understand you.

  40. W.... C....

    I get chills everytime i fucking hear this. i heard it the very first time live and ive never felt so close to 100 people surrounding me at once, pure amazing experience. <3

  41. m.... ....

    i feel as if i'm the only one who can't hear the vocals as clear.

  42. V.... A....

    é noix lek ah lek lek lek sqn

  43. M.... ....

    1:11 - tears in my eyes..
    I understand what he understand...

  44. T.... ....

    He says:
    "And when you scream at the top of your lungs, and no one hears you, what are you supposed to do?"

  45. f.... ....

    He said "wen u scream at the top of ur lungs and no one hears u wat r u suppose to do"

  46. S.... ....

    Fuck, this is good!!

  47. B.... ....

    Went to see Infamous tour at TLA in philly. Their performance was incredible really, it felt like the entire room was one being and that no one was alone. The note he read struck everyone in the heart, the group there for motionless in white and the other for chelsea grin. And for those going, i strongly suggest seeing this band on Warped Tour for an unforgettable performance. Remember, we're all in this together.

  48. K.... S....

    My mistake. Sorry

  49. W.... C....

    That wasn't the note, it was a small one sentence note but yeah he read aloud that too

  50. K.... S....

    "I cannot live my life that way. I cannot walk outside and see the things that I see and then pretend like everything is okay. I cannot"

  51. K.... S....

    “We as human beings are avoiding our responsibilities. We are responsible for ourselves and our actions. But not only this, we are responsible for the people that surround us. Whether you know them that person or not, that person next to you is your fucking brother, your fucking sister. We are responsible for each other. Until we realize this and until we stop living our lives like we are the only important thing this world will remain in the fucking gutter, and I can’t live like that"

  52. b.... ....

    its if someone said hi to him or smiled at him then he wouldnt kill himself. basically that is all that it would take for him to not go through with it

  53. W.... C....

    i can't remember what the note said, but it was really moving. Jesse was trying to tell us that we all go through so much, but we need to stick together cause we have all felt this way at some point. etc

  54. W.... C....

    Okay, so i went to see Motionless In White and Chelsea Grin last month, and Stick To Your Guns played this song, i have never felt so connected with so many people in the same room before (Wooly's) and my heart just fucking blew up during "I understand you" I don't think i can feel that way about any other band again, no joke. Right before that part though, he was talking about a man who committed suicide and wrote a note that was somewhere along the lines of"If somebody smiled or said Hi to me"

  55. A.... O....

    seeing them live literally changed my life. can't wait for the next time I see them.

  56. 4.... ....

    the Latin word for sand is harena or arena.... think about it... built upon the arena. we are in the arena now folks... Let's all watch while the hammer falls...

  57. N.... B....

    becasue this world is fucked up and that pisses me off so I like to listen to music written by people who are pissed off about the exact same things. And why do you give a shit what other people like? If you like pop then go fucking listen to pop, I dont give a fuck

  58. g.... ....

    I felt the exact same way.

  59. S.... J....

    Saw them at the Glass House tonight. My first time hearing them. His words brought tears to my eyes. So inspirational.

  60. p.... ....

    Saw them at The Nile in Mesa. When he started talking I got teary eyed because I could relate to it so much, and hearing this song live gave me goose bumps like no other. It was crazy.

  61. g.... ....

    When they played this live, I felt like I was connected to every person in the crowd. Such an amazing and powerful song.

  62. T.... ....

    I was at the rabbit also! his speech was amazing!!!!

  63. A.... T....

    Saw them at the white rabbit. Most insperational band ever

  64. C.... G....

    Saw them last night at The Door and I have never seen a more inspirational band in my life. These guys are amazing.

  65. B.... ....

    Damn this is Bomb

  66. 7.... ....

    this gives me goosebumps every time

  67. p.... ....

    yes I did!

  68. L.... P....

    To any body who did not know this song is about Jesse's cousin who commit a violent crime and now is in prison for the rest of his life. Some people don't understand how much hate,love & emotion goes into creating music, People should appreciate that the know what music is.

  69. K.... R....

    at the palladium? i saw them too! they're so inspirational

  70. M.... ....

    6 people arent understood

  71. p.... ....

    I saw them tonight on the infamous tour, they deffinatley look into there music to help young kids, he said how he tried to talk and sing but no one would listen, but when he screamed he noticed people listened, and that music can save the lives of any person. I found it true and inspiring.

  72. Z.... V....

    I love the audio clip from Daniel McGowan in "If a Tree Falls," everybody should watch that documentary, I guarantee you'll wake up a little bit.

  73. B.... ....

    What is this song about?

  74. t.... ....

    Ay bro, there's some gayer shit written on here. Im just speaking the truth!

  75. k.... ....

    awesome man

  76. A.... L....

    fuckin gayyyyy

  77. t.... ....

    I am a completely selfish person, all i care about is money and just worrying about my life! I can care less what people have to tell me, or what problems they have.....I will do this no more!!! Im sorry for being such a dick in the past and i understand we are all one, my life is great and i will start making sure everyone else invovled in my life or anyone else near has a great life as well.I will reat everyone as if they are my blood <3 ....Cliche i know, but its real

  78. Z.... M....

    It wasn't a joke dumbass. He said he cousin was always crazy like that and he was the only one that listened to him.

  79. Z.... M....

    I saw them tonight in concert, and he wrote this for his cousin before he shot up the movie theater in Colorado.

  80. s.... ....

    This song is probably one of the most inspirational songs i have heard in a long time. I know, the harsh vocals and grinding guitars can be a turn off to some people. But if you would just stop being so goddamn narrow-minded, you would see that this song has a message behind it that could save lives. "I Understand You" are 3 simple words, but carry so much meaning.
    Thats my opinion. To each his own i guess..

  81. T.... O....

    Omfg thats my fav when they played ttht i crowd surfed lmfaoooo

  82. Z.... W....

    Most inspirational band out there...love them so much...Jesse is the nicest guy I've ever met

  83. D.... ....

    Hahaha Indeed ! , When they played Fuck everything I just Lost it man ! , I nearly died almost lol

  84. T.... O....

    I lost my mind when suicide silence played haha

  85. D.... ....

    Awesome ! , I was by the mosh pit in the middle :D

  86. T.... O....

    I was there!!! =)

  87. D.... ....

    They played this at the All stars concert in NY , BEST SONG EVER ! <3

  88. C.... M....

    A guy around the second song said this was going to be sick. Sick indeed my good man. Sick indeed :D

  89. J.... C....

    if you listen to the lyrics it hits close to the heart people kill themselves every day because no one is there to listen. "I Understand You" can be the 3 words that can save someone from ending it so pay attention to the words hes trying to point out

  90. s.... f....

    Anyone else get the feeling that this song is just meant for a circle pit

  91. H.... J....

    OMG AT :51 I JUMPED LOL IT SOUNDS LIKE MY HOUSE SHAKES.

  92. M.... ....

    He means make me famous !! :p memphis may fire is fucking amazing though !

  93. M.... ....

    i love when they write songs with dramatic endings... like in their song "This is more"
    they're good musicians

  94. T.... V....

    ........really, i see stars? theyre good, it's just that any other band would fit, minus make me famous and asking alexandria of course.

  95. T.... V....

    wait...what? by mmf i meant make me famous, not memphis may fire, theyre actually good

  96. h.... ....

    Memphis May Fire, currently, is signed to Rise Records. Not Sumerian man.

  97. h.... ....
