While She Sleeps - BACK OF MY MIND Lyrics

I wish there was an instrumental version of this

Fucking amazing man!!!!!!!!!!! wtf?!
Let's goooooooooo

Amazing!!!!!!👍🏼❤️👍🏼👊🏼

3:40 brought tears to my eyes 🖤

that beat drop at the start is so bloody good

I'm getting massive early bodom vibes from the guitar and I LOVE it.

Holy fuck!! 3:40 machine gun! !

While she sleeps and Beartooth make the best breakdowns in metal music. Doesn't matter if they are not so djenty and shit. They are the most headbangable breakdowns out there, prove me wrong

Who’s the rapper at 3.13 ? Sounds like Jacoby Shaddix

Marc G Griffin Dickinson from Shapes

These lot used to be good

What? This is very good though

bang your fucking heeeeeeaaaad!!! =D

No deja desorprenderme esta banda, WHILE SHE SLEEPS NUNCA PAREN !

Bang your fucking headddd! 3:52
U all welcome

3:13 Jacoby Shaddix, that you?

Nah it's Griffin Dickinson from SHVPES but it really does sound similar to Shaddix

For a moment it seems that he is talking about sleep paralysis😂😅. Leaving that aside... What song...⚡👀

3:40 like I'm in a battlefield

Next Video

That is griffin of shvpes if im not mistaken??! Can someone confirm?!

It is yes.

This is truly an art-piece! So many different concepts of musicstyles, lyrics and ideas combined in one fucking amazing album!

Can anyone tell me what the hell is that flute at 1:55 - 2:00?

sounds like a vocoder? I'm not sure

I came for the comments at 3:40

BANG YOUR FUCKING HEAD, ME>>> SAY NO MORE

Fucking awesome! This album is a masterpiece!

Man..that breakdown after the rapping might be the best breakdown of all time.

I don't know why but this gives me Linkin Park vibes

THESE ARE WHILE SHE SLEEPS!!!

I hear a lot of thing on this album, the beginning of Elephant sounds like a song from Blessthefall on Hollow Bodies album, in another song I found in lyrics the words In The Dark (BMTH) Leap of Faith (BFMV) and "This is a(my) Battleground" words in this song used by A Day To Remember in the song My Life For Hire just before a breakdown like this. So, coincidence or reference 🤐

Lyrically, this song is my favourite on the album.

This is illegal

Soilwork, Dream threater, In flames, While she sleeps first good records of 2019 lml

Wow in a week where we just lost Keith from Prodigy, this tune kinda reminds me of them in places. R.I.P Keith. Sick Tune Sleeps Bros!

3:40 Hell, yeah! Sounds like they are shredding down a forest with guitars.

Real good!!🔥

Love the album so much, thank you guys for great album's!

Orgasm <3

What an Amazing Album, we need to go out a buy this Cd and support this Amazing Band,

3:12 --> 3:40: "Let's do some RATM stuff"
3:40: "Ok, you know what, let's just the guitars/drums speaks for us!!"

[Intro]
Don't wanna be awake
(I don't wanna sleep)
Will you pacify me?
Lights out, we'll see what lies beneath

Nocturnal highs
When you wanna lay down and play dead
Concise uneasy eyes
You choose when you see it and when you don't

I wanna shed my skin
I wanna see who I really am
I wanna swim with all that drags me in every time

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna be awake
(I don't wanna sleep)
Will you pacify me?
Lights out, we'll see what lies beneath

[Chorus]
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
They shout when I sleep and when I close my eyes they're all I can see
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
Distance, if you don't keep it
Wait till the light's out, then you'll see me


[Verse 2]
These words don't rectify our plight
Are you satisfied this time?
If we're still in harm's way
Do not resuscitate me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna shed my skin
I wanna see who I really am
I wanna swim with all that drags me in every time
I wanna escape, I can't take the great divide
I've seen all I need to see
If only we can take a leap of faith to beyond the surface
We'll see what lies beneath

[Chorus]
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
They shout when I sleep and when I close my eyes they're all I can see
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
They shout when I sleep and when I close my eyes they're all I can see
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
Distance, if you don't keep it
Wait till the light's out, then you'll see me


[Bridge]
I'm the face in the river, reflection in the mirror that made you turn
I'm the creature at the end of the bed
I'm a projection of the thoughts in your head
(I don't wanna be awake)
I'm the million different effigies trapped under your skin that make you burn
(I don't wanna be awake)
I'll be the beat in your pulse when I'm beatin' you to a pulp, one day you'll learn
(I don't wanna be awake)
I'm the voice of the people, the speaker of evil
Cemetery of sound, but tonight this is my battleground

[Breakdown]
Tonight this is my battleground
Bang your fucking head

You want to bring war in pit ?
'cause that's how you bring war in pit.

That breakdown is fucking bonkers

Sounds like Coby Dick at the end.

Congratulations WSS, you have created a guitar sound that will be copied for decades. Witnessing such inspired and groundbreaking new art is the reason I am still alive. So curious to see where you are going from here in the next years, thank you guys

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS

AOTY for sure.

The riff at the beginning sounds like parallels from AILD

Holy shit, this album is so fucking good and this song is by far the best!

Honestly your guitar lines are always so good, great album WSS !

The intro and the breakdown at 3:40 kick ass.

The rest of the track is so meh though

>music video

I can't right now....HOLY FUCK 2019 IS THE YEAR FOR METALCORE

Don't wanna be awake
Don't wanna sleep
Will you pacify me?
Light's out, we'll see what lies beneath

What do you hide, when you all are laying down and playing dead?
Capsize uneasy eyes, [?]

I wanna shed my skin
I wanna see who I really am
I wanna swim with all that drags me in every time

Don't wanna be awake
Don't wanna sleep
Will you pacify me?
Light's out, we'll see what lies beneath

Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
Shout when i sleep and when I close my eyes they're all I can see
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
Distance, I cannot keep it, wait till the light's out, then you'll me see me

These [?]
Are you satisfied this time?
It was all in my dream
Do not resuscitate me

I wanna shed my skin
I wanna see who I really am
I wanna swim with all that drags me in every time
I wanna escape, I can't take the great divide
I've seen all I need to see
If only we can take a leap of faith to beyond the surface
We'll see what lies beneath

Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
Shout when i sleep and when I close my eyes they're all I can see
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
Shout when i sleep and when I close my eyes they're all I can see
Who are all these people in the back of my mind?
(I wanna run away)
Distance, i cannot keep it, wait till the light's out, then you'll see me

I'm the face in the mirror, reflection in the mirror that made you dumb
I'm the creature at the end of the bed
I'm a projection of the thoughts in your head
I'm the million different effigies trapped under your skin that make you burn
I'll be the beat in your pulse when I'm beatin' you to a pulp, one day you'll learn
I'm the voice of the people, the speaker of evil
Cemetery of sound, but tonight this is my battleground

[Breakdown]
Tonight this is my battleground
Bang your fucking head

Corrections..
Concise uneasy eyes, you choose when you see it and when you don't.

These words don't rectify our plight, are you satisfied this time.

not a fan of rapping in heavy music but who is this guy doing the rap piece?

Griffin Dickinson

that opening riff is probably one of the best metalcore riffs ever imo

Featuring Griffin Dickinson?! Literally my two favourite bands working together! Fuck yes guys, awesome surprise.

the part at 3:13 reminds me a bit of falling in reverse 😅🤘🖤

Every song in So What is a highlight but this is too good to be true

we need live version of this

3:13 : That RATM / Papa roach vibe <3

3:40 : That slap

You seriously need to check out Shvpes dude, the vocalist that features is Griffin Dickinson who is their frontman, incredible live shows too.

Papa Roach vibe?! Fuck now I'm afraid to listen to the rest of this.

is it just me or does intro sound like mark morton cross off?

Boooooooom 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

3:13 *Фристайло. Ракамакафо!*

( for non-Slavs: *Freestyler! Rock the microfone!* )

Asking Alexandria vibes

R.i.p BMTH, WSS carry the crown.

@Fallen Maria I don't think bmth will go rock again especially because Oli's vocal cords are pretty much fucked by now

I will say this first I really think that wss carries the crown which was bmth's but I think wss brings us a new sound of metalcore, especially with their new album, and I think that the lyrics itselves are something new, being not so suicidal as bmth's.

@Paduraru Gaming everyone has their own preferences i just said that both bands are incredibly good no matter if it's more rock than metalcore i love both and I'm not the only one for sure

i cant listen to BMTH anymore without thinking about their new stuff, its rather saddening

I think Amo is amazing and really creative like the rest of their discography. But yes, There is a Hell and Sempiternal are unique (Architects and WSS have some similar stuff tho).

Easily the best song on the album

3:40... It reminds me of these times when i heard that ending of that song called "BRAINWASHED". Oh While She Sleeps you guys are fucking mental <3

Oh my god... I wasn't expecting this, this song is a masterpiece!

● NEW INTERVIEW IS ONLINE NOW ●
https://youtu.be/CAv45Yx-na4

That fucking ending holy shit! Wish they did more of that heavy stuff, just like the ending of Brainwashed.

3:40..... Jesus fucking christ my neck.

wow, that melody

swear the new songs on so what are the first time they have been in normal drop d

#WSSneverdissapoints

3:40 holy fucking jesus

3:40 Holy shit guys, that's just irresponsible.

I don't know why this just made me laugh SO hard but in tears cannot stop. LOL

I've been here since before This is The Six came out. I swear, i felt like the only American who knew these guys at the time, and all my friends shrugged at them while my mind was being blown. I prayed dearly that these guys would just blow the fuck up, and they sure did, and i had the last laugh.

Forever WSS

This is the most bizarre group of songs but somehow still amazing

10/11 masterpieces ! Bring on track 11. 🤘🏼😝

🎸 Kick ass song guys keep um coming 🎸

while she sleeps.. they'll they can....

got that Civil Isolation groove 😍🤘🏻

Track 10 is always fire on WSS albums, Civil Isolation is my all time fav as well

3:40 oh my GOD

this part should be a song on its own

The sonic representation of a panic attack.

3:20 onwards this turns into Rage Against the Machine for the new age :D

Scott Tailford it’s Griffin Dickinson from SHVPES

@Rachel It's also the son of iron maiden's lead singer

@Diego Ruiz I am aware

After a chorus of prior contributors, it's pretty cool to hear Griffin with the main guest spot. Trivia: Bruce named him as such because he's English (the lion) with an affinity for the US (the eagle).

@Nate Davies He did indeed :D

WAITING FOR THE VIDEO!!!

Boooy that intro!!

CADÊ OS BR OUVINDO ESSA PORRA?!

Jurava que eu fosse uns dos poucos que curtia essa banda, pqp eae seus filha da puta KKKKKKKsksk

@Vinycius Batistela The Guilty party e So What? tambem são muito boas

Tamo junto, enquanto a maioria ouve sertanejo e funk os melhores estão aqui ouvindo música de qualidade, While She Sleeps é foda!

Tamo junto

@Siqueira pior que esse álbum ta muito bom, Anti Social tb eh absurda

Wow.. Genial..!

Who's that 3:20? Andrew Dijorio?

BroesJeWoesJe I swear I think thats Griffin Dickinson of SHVPES

I think too it's Griffin, if it was Andrew the last note on the verse would be higher.

It's Griffin Dickinson from Shvpes :)
