We Came As Romans - Views That Never Cease, To Keep Me From Myself Lyrics
I am so far away
And it's more than I can take
I haven't heard your voice in days
I haven't heard your voice in days
Is it wading through the worst?
Or is the measure of a man
Admitting when he is defeated?
But I am not and will not be defeated
I have given everything in my life for this
I'm counting down the days
Though I've been broken and beaten
I know I can't let it, I know I can't let it win
That my purpose is gone
These views, they never cease
To keep me from myself and who I am
So what makes the measure of a man?
Is it being too stubborn to let go of the good and move on?
But I am not and will not be defeated
I will wade through the worst of it all
I'm counting down the days
Though I've been broken and beaten
I am not done with this
I know I will not fall
This is my deepest dream
Or is this a nightmare in disguise?
What makes the measure of a man?
Is it always trying to do right?
I'm' so far away
And I don't know if it's more than I can take
With these views, that never cease to keep me from myself
With these views, they never cease to keep me from myself
I will keep moving forward when I have nothing left
I am not and will not be defeated
I've given everything in my life for this
But I am not and will not be defeated
I've given everything in my life for this

We Came As Romans Views That Never Cease, To Keep Me From Myself Comments
I was listening to this album a lot when it first came out. This song is my most loved at and hated song by WCAR. The beginning of this song was playing as I was headed home the night I "unplugged" my father on 7-9-12. Around the time the song started I got a phone call stating he was gone. We as the family knew he wouldn't go with us still there, about 15 minutes later, as time started into the 9th, we found out we were right, he wouldn't go with us there. As my father was brain dead for about a week before we found out. The beginning is spot on, I hadn't heard his voice in days. But I was always reminded as his son that no matter the losses we come into with life, to press on, help others, care for others and look forward to the next day. I inherited a lot of my fathers genetic "defects". As a 27 y/o as of 2019, I live in pain everyday, from awakening to sleeping. I'm pretty okay with that. My father taught me even though things can be tough, keep your head up, love those around you and care for those in need. This song is a perfect example of how he led his life. How he taught his 2 sons. I, no matter the pain, adversity or how hard the waves hit will never give up. Regardless of how a man is measured, I am here to survive and help those in need, whether more or less than me. My father, David Delmar Carter, and WCAR taught me this growing up.This song will always bring tears to my eyes. For too many reasons. I never shared this story with anyone, revolving the song and the occurrence. This is the first time I've heard this song in years, popped out of nowhere. Still brings me to tears years later.
We miss you Kyle
Excellent song.
Rest in Peace Kyle 💔
Anyone know where i can find the piano music sheet from the beginning of this song?
Tim Tran Fuck you
Tim Tran Up your ass.
One of their best...then they went soft
Tyler Johnson _I mean, you can't stay hard forever ;)_
*facepalm* Oh, my God.
Bryant Rodriguez-Manzo hahahahahahaha
Connor McGregor ad anyone?
Damn. I miss this WCAR so much.
i know. this was beautiful now its just meh.
At the chrous, guitar sounds like Our Last Night- Reason to Love, then afterward almost sonds like Chiodos- Notes in Constellatio,, then on the bridge when kyle said to keep me from my self, it sounds like Saosin- Some Sense of Security. Overall i like this song damn more, i like when lead singer said "Though i've been broken down and i'm beaten" i just can't forget it
it's sad that their newest album that sounds like every other disappointing sell out band is more popular and viewed than the older, one of a kind albums, this was the last good album in my opinion, I remember first hearing To Plant A Seed, memories man :I
+markieTHC
Agreed. I wish i had seen them in concert before their new album.
Thank you. I hated their newest album. Even Tracing Back Roots had some good songs on it. This album and To Plant A Seed are all-time great albums.
markieOCHc I liked this shit a LOT until I seen these videos explaining that the hardest shit they've ever been through was touring; Way to make your fans feel like shit.
It's like, yeah, I'm sorry we like you guys and your positive message and that you have to get off Snapchat long enough to play some shows.
Fuck that. Back in the day, motherfuckers would bleed all over themselves and get in the pit with the audience and sing and be one of us.
I like the positive message here a LOT but now that I know most of this is fucking whining about being on the road?
That is fucking gay.
@Karnage Fails fuck off how bout u do touring for a large period of time and see how u feel of course it's difficult your constantly away from home, family and friends and your going to places your not familiar with of course it's gonna be challenging
'we came as romans but got left like a lyran'... indigo
Kyle Pavone. You are the best singer I've ever heard of /m\ best clean vocals ever
Tyler carter is great too!
That too 👍
@Luis Freyre i have to admit though, i've seen him live (before he got better) and he was terrible at live shows
Lui Freyre Damn, man. I liked your comment but check out ERRA.
These guys are becoming one of my favorite bands. They give it all they've got and that's respectable. Love these dudes.
They're great!
The first four notes of this song reminds me of another song but I can't think of it!!! The first four notes are like the entire melody of another song can someone help me think of it?!?!!?
At 0:28 the it is written that this song is in essence a continuation of the lyrics and song called "Beliefs and Dreams" found on their To Plant A Seed Album. I checked and yes the piano melody is very similar to the melody found in this song. Hope this helps.
Thanks but it wasn't song I was thinking of, the song I was thinking of is Jon Bellion - LIFE
Well that too lol
It sounds similar right? :P
xLineagePainx Yeah. It's "Followed Home Then Killed" by Mariah Carey
i hate how joshua is given so little recognition
Michael Arredondo Seems they give THEMSELVES enough recognition to go around.
This song was published on my birthday, September 9th!! :D
I assume you already know that though LOL.
Probably because Asking Alexandria has more of a message you would find in a lot of modern pop music (drinking, sex, etc.) and WCAR has a lot of motivational messages like, "What you regret makes you a better person," and "I will keep on fighting." I personally love BOTH bands, but I definately feel the exact same way as you.
If anything, I believe Asking Alexandria IS THE SHIT!! They're my all time favorite band and I'll always love their music. We Came As Romans is also up there with Asking Alexandria and I can't wait to purchase their new album. They're both great bands and they deserve as much fame as possible. No matter how shitty other bands I like decide to become, I can always count on We Came As Romans and Asking Alexandria to never disappoint me! :)
havoren Gay
You probably feel that way because Asking Alexandria is shit. At least WCAR are actually good. The lead singer of Asking Alexandria told me and a few other guys (from the band The Failsafe (small band from Pennsylvania)) while I was on tour with them a long time ago that the only reason he's in a band like Asking Alexandria is because he knows it'll make him money and that girls love it. He's obviously a great dude.
I recently found out they're doing something like trancecore. I've always been searching for a name for it, I think trancecore fit's pretty well.
Beautiful.
The music is a bit heavy for post-hardcore, and David's scream isn't really a post-hardcore style. Kyle definitely has a post-hardcore style singing voice, though. They're an interesting combination of post-hardcore with a bit of deathcore influence.
You're lucky! They've gotten so good live now.
listened to them.....they broke one of my headphones......maby its because of their pure wonderfulness.
This is def not metalcore more like post hardcore , might sound silly but there's a major difference . Saw Wcar couple weeks ago sounded great live , real natural sounding . Excited to see what the new record is like
I'm glad you were able to patch things up with your brother. But this isn't screamo. I consider it metalcore (and many out there would disagree with that even). Just because there is screaming in it, doesn't make it screamo. My friend even calls Killswitch Engage screamo, and it's pretty ridiculous that every band that combines screaming and singing is automatically "screamo"...
This song is so amazing and beautiful just like their other songs too :') Thanks so much Josh for these incredible lyrics -3 I have to say that this band has saved my life -3
favorite song of all time!! ♥
well your unborn kids have an awesome taste in music my friend
Yeah! In the concert, I noticed that Danny didn't scream that much which disappointed me because one of the biggest reason why I LOVE Asking Alexandria is because of his screams! He pretty much just held the microphone over the audience so they could scream the lyrics of the songs!
May be late to the party, but Danny is completely sober now, but needless to say his voice has indeed took a turn for the worse as he can't hit the notes he used to, nor does he really "scream" anymore, it does suck, and I'm not hating on AA considering they are still my favorite band, just sucks how change happened to worsen Danny
I remember my first tour. IT wasn't that bad I was USAF Aircraft mech. I want to tell all of you who want to join and make a difference... You WILL. My goodness you will... Trust me it will be worth it...
Asking Alexandria is my #1 favorite band ever! Even though they aren't as positive and soothing to listen to, it's the kind of shit that I just LOVE rocking out to every time I listen to them. I'm seeing them live on Nov 16 so im hoping they wont be drunk like hell again lol. If they are, then hopefully the next metalcore band wont suck balls xD
Thats one of the reasons i quit listening to them. Talented dudes but, their music makes me feel like i have nothing to live for...plus i saw them at warped and as usual Danny was drunk so the set was...blehhhh.
i honestly be leave that scremo song lyrics have more meaning then any other kinda genres. take We Came As Romans song (Dreams) for instance. that helped me finally talk to my brother after years over some thing stupid. the lyrics to that song changed are relationship for the best. ^_^
i hate how people listen to this and think "ew stupid fucking emo shit" when if you actualy listen to it, the way the song is put together, everything is perfect and the lyrics are actualy meaning full, this is true beauty, something we have to find in the song...
THIS IS MY DEEPEST DREAM love that part and the whole song :D
LOSING*
the genre of WeCameAsRomans is power-core def: bands that but true effort in every aspect of making music (:
lovin all these hardcore noobs haha. bout damn time these guys get recognition
this is my favorite song in deee world :D♥♥♥♥♥♥
I fucking love this band and song
metalcore
Thanks !
Can anyone tell what's the name of the genre of this song ?
even worse... three people accidentally pressed that dislike button
Meeow!
my future children love this album and they havent even been born yet. deal with that.
omg damn look who cares -_-
my mom absolutely hated this type of music and she called it "trash and garbage" i told her to listen to one song all the way through and since then she has become a WCAR fan and she sings along to kyle's parts not dave's lol
@PassiveThoughts lol same but its my nephew and he is 7 lol
i told my friend about this album now we are best friends ;) nah but serious this band is really great and it inspires alot of people to change their lifes witch is awsume :D
@PassiveThoughts haha, the funny thing is that this "Devil music" is actually Christian ;D
This Wcar album actually deserves more total views.
@Ballsifyification Aww... Didn't mean to hurt the poor little illiterate's feelings.. Grow up, stop getting so whiny over simple shit.
@Immad1337 Shut the fuck up, and listen to the song.
@Immad1337 I do man, just saying you're just bothering him, commenting for things not that useful actually. Nevermind
@Archeum94 Do you not understand proper grammar?
@Immad1337 Troll? --"
@DesuNotoRocks and then Charlie Sheen does what? I believe you meant "than*"
This may be a weird thought, but every time I listen to "Asking Alexandria," I think that life is shit! But when I listen to "We Came As Romans," I start to think that life is wonderful and pretty. Weird how music works that way!
It makes me so mad my parents don't accept this is the kind of music I like listening to. They always judge them before knowing what their songs are about, it pisses me off so bad. If only they knew how much this band has done for me, they probably wouldn't judge them as much, or I hope so.
@beckthebacon19 wow will u post a vid showing it?
Roads that dont end and views that never cease to keep me from myself
Wahhhhhh why don't you cry a ill more about being in a touring band.
@beckthebacon19 POST A PIC.
Fucking yesssss!
Lyrics if i may ask? ^_^
@TheOriginalExciteful It may not be heavy, but it's fricken dark, so shut the FUCK UP about that barbie bullshit.
We Came As Romans > Chuck Norris
@beckthebacon19 Thats awsome!! When I first saw album cover I turned to my friend and said "That would be a badass tattoo" lol
@beckthebacon19 20 years later, epic lose
@MeganMystyfied wrong asking alexandria is better than these guys i think
@DesuNotoRocks
Yeah...Compared To WCAR Every Band Is Uh, LOOSING.
@beckthebacon19 post a picture or it didnt really happen xD

Basically anything wins more then Charlie Sheen.
@beckthebacon19 Very nice, you have a picture we all can see so we can be jealous?
@Hardcorehippie12 it is oppinion or opium you shitfag
those track inspiration vids really are entertaining me (: in a positive way then
@beckthebacon19 are you serious?? hahaha EPIC
A BAND THAT HAS MY NAME xD \m/\m/
I will not be defeated <3
@24PzDiv Hey, thank you for serving our country.
I love how, in a website centered around views, this is the first thing that comes up when you type in "views ". And that's the way it should be. I love WCAR.
YYYYOOOOOUUUU ARRRREEEEE SOOOOO FFFFAAAAARRRR AAAWWWWAAAYYYY AAAANNNNDD IIITT IITT SSSTTRRAAIINNSS OOONNN MMMEEEEE!!!!!!
you guys could totally do it
My eight year old cousin loves this album. He begged me to put it on his iPod. His mom got mad at me for putting "Devil music" on it. I told her to actually really listen to the whole album, word for word... Now she's a wcar fan. Yup.
@tjbhawaii Tits or GTFO.
@popbahaha lol i seem to have found myself at the same crossroads
@sokrispy16 THERE VERY GOOD LIVE
@beckthebacon19 pics or it didnt happen
@SixthAveSk8er They're good as fuck live
These guys make a really really good studio album I'm loving it! I just don't see why people see them live though... They sound nothing like this.. Lol.
Ohkay, so my favorite song was Roads That Never End and Views That Never Cease for the longest time, untill I heard this song. And now I can't decided.... I love them both so so much<3
