We Came As Romans - Cast The First Stone Lyrics






I'll cast the first stone
Just to take the attention away from me
Anything to protect my reputation
Because I feel like that's all I have, all I know

What do I look like in their eyes?
Is it something desirable?
Or am I nothing?

What do I look like in their eyes?
What do I look like in their eyes?

I'll cast the first stone
Like I am the last one to blame
Just to shift their condemning eyes away
I'll cast the first stone
Like I am the last one to blame
Just to break their denouncing gaze

Why should I wait to hear their verdict?
Why do I care about who they think I should be?
Why should I wait to hear their verdict?
Why do I care about who they think I should be?

I have been bending over backwards for every reason but the right one
I have placed value on things that don't deserve it

Now what do I look like to those who matter?
Why did I waste all this time on the temporary?
It's too easy to take the wrong things to heart
Especially from those who seem to have misplaced their own

I won't say that I'll never cast another stone
Or that I am the last one to blame
But I want to stop living like anyone else's opinion
Of who I should be is a regulation in my life

I shouldn't forget there's a difference
Between living for other's approval and just living for others

    We should all give a little credit to Josh, if he would’ve never wrote these lyrics we would’ve never heard Kyle sing them.

    Buena rola buenos toques

  14. g.... b....

    👍👍

  15. K.... F....

    Still listening in 2018. There is such a good message with this music. It's heavy as fuck and positive. Gives me hope.

  16. l.... ....

    the uptempo parts are just yuck

  17. M.... B....

    This song is super important to me as well. i was having ahard time decyphering right from wrong and finding the right the right crowd. Then i started listening to this music. So inspirational!

  18. D.... D....

    Lmao intro sounds like The Bleeding XD

    D.... D....

    Sean Chandler it really does though.

    D.... D....

    THATS WHAT I THOUGHT BRO

  19. M.... ....

    that song is fucking awesome

  20. C.... O....

    what is this? Electronic synthesized emo rock with bad screaming and wrecked growling?
    I remember when lyrics were about fun, romantic, sadness or real problems and not about egocentric firstworld puberty outbursts.

    C.... O....

    "This song is about seeking the approval of others, something that everyone is guilty of at one point or another" That's exactly what it says, so no, its not a egocentric puberty outburst, your just too damn high up on your pedestal of Self-Righteousness to see that. Thinking you're better than others because 'you never did that before,' and let me guess 'I never had to seek approval for anything because I'm my own person and i dont care what others think about me.' That line, which I knew you wanted to say, is complete bullshit. Get over yourself.

  21. i.... ....

    I know it is my own life to live. But at the end of the day, I have trouble finding the real me.. I find myself wondering what others think about me.. It pains me because it makes it hard to have confidence.. When talking to females as well as everyday life interactions. Makes me feel like I am the black sheep...

    I'm starting to think that..

    I need to cast the first stone. 😕

  22. D.... L....

    So I wasn't the only that noticed the opening of the song. still a good song just recognized the beat and was confused. lol

  23. t.... ....

    FFDP sucks dickhole. If anything they saved the riff. Lol. Just sayin.

    t.... ....

    tarfathewise You suck dickhole

  24. C.... L....

    Same intro as FFDP's The Bleeding.

  25. R.... A....

    epic song! btw how did they come up with their name? its so random yet so perfect<3

    R.... A....

    +Rachel Adams They did it because it sounded cool (That's not even a joke)

    R.... A....

    @Eli Jordan i was thinking that honestly haha 

    R.... A....

    +Rachel Adams
    imo its the coolest band name ever

  26. f.... ....

    The intro of this sounds so similar to "The Bleeding" by five finger death punch o.o

  27. h.... d....

    Amo esta cancion <3 amo esta banda mas de lo que me imagine amando otra banda ♥

  28. Y.... Z....

    Josh is a musical genius.

  29. K.... K....

    'we came as romans but got left like lyrans'....indigo kids where the fuck u at?  uplifting lyrics does not mean christian

    K.... K....

    somebody please tell that to matty mullins

  30. E.... C....

    I wanna see that movie... and I love this song...lol

  31. h.... ....

    I'm going to miss THIS band so much. It's a shame that they dropped Joey Sturgis and went with a different shitty producer on their newest album. This album had such an amazing feeling towards me and I felt that I could connect with their stories. WCAR, get back to your UWWGTB sound! You now sound like another generic post-hardcore band. Get back to your TRUE roots which is this album please!

    h.... ....

    Eat a snickers, you sound like a dumb fuck when you're hungry.

    h.... ....

    @TheSwamp UF hahahahhaaa! Love it!

    h.... ....

    No one lives forever

  32. M.... ....

    Still sounds nothing like 5FDP. why are we comparing this superior band to such an inferior band?

    M.... ....

    Just the intro is similar to The Bleeding, and it reminded them of that song.

    M.... ....

    I approve of both bands, but neither is superior than the other. They aren't even in the same sub-genre idiot.

    M.... ....

    @The Lone Vaquero preach bro

  33. o.... ....

    i find that 5FDP is a great band, altho comparing bands to one another is kind of mute, since your comparing apples to apples in this case i feel... so its an opinion if one is better over the other, and is in personal taste. So fighting over it is a little mundane and pointless 

  34. R.... F....

    this song is about rising above worrying about the judgement of others so hey let's all insult eachother on here and start fights! will you guys shut up and stop bringing everybody down? getting past the judgement does NOT mean you bring others down to do it.

  35. t.... h....

    This guys never disappoint me. Best band ever !

  36. r.... ....

    PHANTOMLORD

  37. K.... R....

    Shut up wimp.

  38. A.... H....

    HOLY SHIT THESE GUYS JUST GET IT! LMFAO more like GET AFTER IT!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. d.... D....

    phantomlord OP

  40. X.... ....

    @PhantomL0rd .. brought me here to! <3

  41. O.... ....

    @PhantomL0rd : Ty i'm here thanks to you. :3

  42. j.... b....

    they sound similar, but they're not exactly the same.

  43. S.... ....

    Hmm.. have you realized a lot of music is plagiarized? Listen to some riffs on some other bands. You'll notice some it is in a different octave.

  44. J.... B....

    I honestly think it sounds like We Wame as Romans elict is obviosly a fagbaby

  45. T.... A....

    name some

  46. L.... B....

    it's because people everywhere want to be able to tell you specifically to fuck yourself

  47. C.... ....

    No one asked for your worthless opinion.

  48. r.... j....

    this song is just great. ive listened to it a dozen times in a row. great message, fantastic music. very impressed here.

  49. C.... ....

    The intro sounds similar to a 5FDP song. Just the inteo

  50. w.... ....

    I don't know what everyone's talking about. It sounds nothing like Five Finger Death Punch.

  51. P.... E....

    Five finger death punch? :D

  52. T.... ....

    The guy in the comment was speaking English, he was talking about him, not the world. Calm down.

  53. M.... ....

    Awesome song but is it just me or the intro riff sounds like the intro riff of "The Bleeding" by Five Finger Death Punch?

  54. J.... O....

    Yet every country is obligated to know it lol :p ? Alright then dude xD ! Its not first level of language to learn duuhhh, but majority of countries always speak in English cause I have a step dad who works with people from different regularly and he tells me that the language is always English, and I asked why, he said cause it's a world language !
    BURN loool xD ! :p

  55. f.... ....

    You must be pretty close minded if you think English is a universal language.
    Because it really isn't.

  56. J.... O....

    Says the one who can't even speak English

  57. E.... M....

    This song reminds me to be who i wanna be and not care what anyone thinks of me. It helps me get through today's judgemental generation.

  58. J.... P....

    16 folks are stupids


  59. T.... H....

    They did it because their original band name, This Emergency, sucked. Josh and Myatt decided they needed a new name, and they came up with We Came As Romans. It was just a bunch of kids looking for a cool name. They are not a Christian band, and they don't need to be one in order to have positive lyrics. The name is absolutely perfect though, I agree.

  60. A.... C....

    it does sound like 5fdp- the bleeding

  61. S.... E....

    5FDP called, they want their intro back.

  62. T.... ....

    Not normally into the whole clean singing, but I really like this \m/

  63. J.... A....

    In an interview with Josh Moore he said that it was just a cool name and since they were all about 16 at the time, they thought it was the coolest thing ever.

  64. A.... H....

    This is an amazing song. I liked other WCAR songs more but I had to warm up to this one. I would sing the song without realizing its meaning. But when I first understood it I understood that it is lyrically amazing, and the last lyric "I shouldn't forget there's a difference,
    Between living for other's approval and just living for others"
    Makes the entire song just beyond amazing.

  65. G.... ....

    They're from Troy, Michigan. Although i'm sure they have other reasons too.

  66. D.... x....

    I don't believe in God or any gods or the bible or anything, but seriously, I respect this band for standing up and shouting what they believe in.

  67. M.... J....

    The phrase "For those without sin, May cast the first stone." was in the bible. Was that their intention? IDGAF. Love the song. WCAR for life

  68. v.... ....

    We Came As Romans giving vocal sex since 2008 :)

  69. I.... !....

    WCAR inspires me to push om everyday

  70. W.... ....

    We Came As Romans are no doubt what inspires me as a guitarist.

  71. U.... ....

    just buy both ^^ all of their songs are awesome ^^

  72. c.... s....

    hahaha well i rele like this band

  73. F.... G....

    What annoys me about this band is that I have heard 12 great songs by them. 6 on 'To Plant A Seed' and 6 on 'Understanding What We Have Grown To Be'. And now I have no idea which album to buy. First World Problems lol.

  74. i.... t....

    stop feeling sorry for yourself. move on. go away

  75. B.... W....

    I don't mean to sound rude, but who cares if you aren't going to explain for further reasoning?

  76. B.... W....

    I know, but it's still a song :L

  77. N.... J....

    "V-Necks and Skinny Jeans"? That's an incredibly stupid name for a song.

  78. B.... W....

    How is that trolling or stupid?

  79. c.... ....

    1:58...omg love this song

  80. m.... ....

    Chill the fuck out.

  81. N.... J....

    Are you serious? I love both WCAR and TDWP. TDWP is superior in every way.

  82. N.... J....

    Not sure if troll or just very stupid.

  83. N.... J....

    If you know he's a troll, then why the fuck are you replying? You idiots always lets the trolls win with this.

  84. B.... W....

    They have a few good songs. Not enough to make me like them though. =P

  85. A.... G....

    yes, you are

  86. A.... ....

    1:45 what should i wear. lolol

  87. M.... H....

    Definition of gay: YOU!!! :D

  88. a.... ....

    Love this song, had to get used to it but now I love it WCAR is a really amazing band :)

  89. L.... C....

    lets assume you know the difference between gay and straight music, if you do then congratulations, but you don't have to say what you think about this band because no one cares, just a tip for future references

  90. D.... B....

    This entire album is amazing, not only does We Came As Romans play beautiful music, but they also carry the most beautiful meanings and purposes behind their songs. Anyone who couldn't relate to We Came As Romans, couldn't relate to life.

  91. m.... ....

    Heh ..bleeding is an awesome song too

  92. j.... ....

    They should really try their hands at making an instumental on thei next album.

    Imagine the possibilities...

    plus itd be that much more material to play live while their resting or setting stuff up for their other songs.

  93. m.... ....

    true story.

  94. m.... ....

    the difference is, this song is good, the bleeding is not.

  95. P.... S....

    3:18 to the end sounds fucking amazing
