LYRICS:
Cityscape Skeletons
Taking shape and growing skin
Layer and layer is peeled away
Exhausted
From the repetition of always needing to rebuild
Worn down faces in colorful barren places
City lights and skylines
Guiding home our wandering minds
Tucking us into tortoise shells
Suppressing the outside sounds of relentless consciousness
Where is contemplative terrain that sleeps with the setting sun?
This nocturnal apathy
Binging on shadow and smoke
It's endlessly coming undone
When the ground falls out who will take my hands?
When things fall apart who will take my hand?
I never though that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
You never know how much I meant it in love
Every night I'm beside you weeks away you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?
Millions of tiny pieces looking in on themselves
Reflected in the water
Unaware of each other
Every piece could find its place back in the puzzle
What was one is shattered into many and longs to be whole again
But nothing ever fits quite the same in the end
I never though that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
You never know how much I meant it in love
I never though that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
Every night I'm beside you weeks away you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?
When the ground falls out who will take my hands?
When things fall apart who will take my hand?

The greatest friend I've ever had in my entire life passed away last month. We served in the Marine Corps together and spent Christmas in the Middle East once too. Just me and him at work, 12 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week, no one else. We're both out of the Marines now but we hung out every week after we got out since we both moved to Arizona. I lived near him in Phoenix for the first year we were out, but I moved to California for work in July last year and hadn't seen him since then.. I was going to stay with him for 3 days before I drove home to Arkansas for christmas last month. I ate dinner with him a few hours before he died, and that was the first time I'd seen him since I moved to Los Angeles. He had to go run some errands after we ate, but said he'd be home soon to see me. I was waiting in his driveway later that night and he texted me at 10:59 PM to say, "I'm about to be on my way home, see you soon buddy, I love you" He wrecked his motorcycle at 11:01 PM. I fell asleep in my car at his house waiting for him. I woke up at 7 the next morning to my phone ringing in my lap. It was our old Gunnery Sergeant calling me to break the news...It was so hard to drive away from his house and continue the 20 hour drive home to Arkansas from Phoenix by myself for Christmas.. But I didn't have a reason to stay in Phoenix anymore.. I was lucky enough to have his mom pay for all my travel costs to go to his services in his hometown right before Christmas. I got her number from another Marine after I got off the phone with the Gunnery Sergeant.. I remember her saying, "Blake told me you were his best friend in the whole world so I'll do whatever I have to do to get you up here for him." She had only ever met me one time before that. I have had nightmares almost every night since his passing. I am heartbroken. This was Blake's favorite song. It always makes me think of him. Rest in peace, Blake Justin Newman. United States Marine Corps, 2013-2017. Phoenix Police Dept. Until Valhalla, Warrior.. My sweetest friend.. I love you. Semper Fidelis, Marine. His obituary if you would like to read: www.calvertmemorial.com/obituaries/Blake-Justin-Newman?obId=9684211
Cass Allen hope your doing well my friend. friends that are as dedicated as your were to blake dont exist really anymore. I know how it feels to lose one man. Keep your head up an keep his legacy with you. Love from North Carolina.
@@hillbillybudz thank you brother. I miss him but we really did have the best time together. Much love my friend
Chilled me to the bone, that's so sad. May he rest in peace. I'm really sorry it happened to both of you, and his whole family, that shit really sucks. How did he crash his bike? Someone else ran a red light or something? Semper Fidelis.
@@TerminatorZXY We're not sure honestly. We thought maybe he was drinking, but the other officers at the party said he hadn't drank. I went to the crash site 2 weeks ago, it's on a curve. I think maybe another driver did something he tried to avoid maybe. We'll never know.
@@telamonndoteth I hope if someone did it, the bastard gets locked up. Stay strong buddy.
I wish everybody would give these guys the listen they deserve. One of the best bands around.
Erik Shaw I think you missed the word "best". Though they are one of the bands that are around haha
Michael Muller haha oops
But I agree! Haha been into them since Andromeda!
I only know one song from these guys. I think i should listen to them more.
Erik Shaw I wish you wouldn't tell people what to do 🙄
Never thought I'd see a music video like this from ERRA. Good vibes! Reminiscent of my solo late night drives while blasting ERRA.
Hansol vibrant Northlane vibes this video has.
Hansol yo my boy hansol, thanks for getting me into this band! It's one of my favorites now.
Hansol lol I remember doing that too. I'd love to crank render the void on midnight drives
Thank you for making that one video concerning your favorite bands. You introduced me to something that would quickly become my favorite band by far.
As everyone else is saying, you got me into Erra from your streams. Thank you!!
This song is a beautiful work of art
This guy likes metalcore?!
yepp
I see this dude literally everywhere on KZhead. I have feeling we’d be good friends. You have a great taste in music my friend. And anime
one of their best songs ever, I'm actually a huge fan of their newer, melodic, and fuller-sounding direction. Who is with me?
Sacredgeometry I'm digging the grooves they are laying down I sleep to this song
i miss underoath so you have my bow.
Just discovered them on a metal hotlist but I agree.
they've always been melodic wdym
@@DarkVileScream ayooooooo sameeee
No matter who the lead screamer is ERRA will always be amazing.
Excuse me, but it does matter. Jesse is really talented, but Ian didn't fit in as much as JT fits into their style. I really hope JT comes to stay, because the guy kills it live. You're hearing this from an ERRA fan from 2012, I've never listened to Texas in july PRE-"JT in ERRA". I love jesse, but he struggles to deliver live. It's either that or he gets a little lazy on some of the songs. Anyway, JT rules bro give the legend some recognition haha him and Alex are amazineg to watch perform live.
Ian didn't fit??? He sounded very similar to the original vocalist, so unless you didn't like the original vocalist, you can't much say that Ian didn't fit in. JT isn't bad, but I would've preferred to keep Ian over JT.
You should definitely yourself a favor and listen to Impulse, Garrison ERRA was best ERRA.
Fit as much bby, I didn't say the guy didnt fit. They sound similar, but not the same.
I agree Garrison was so good, Augment is my favorite record. Erra killed it with Garrison, I remember the day they announced Garrison was leaving I got super bummed.
I love how this was filmed in Birmingham, AL. There's no mistaking the Rainbow Tunnels. You guys are our hometown heroes. Roll Tide.
Couple shots of Atlanta thrown in there too.
War eagle though
Josh Ford it was seriously??! I’m from Gadsden an hour north of bham, wow. I don’t think much of this state but it makes me happy when people like them come here!!
Actually, ATL
Roll tide brother. Also that's the first thing I noticed is that it was filmed in Bham.
Just discovered this band the other day. Bought 3 of their albums and listened while I worked last night. I am HOOKED. This song is amazing. This band is incredible. How I never knew bout them til now is beyond me.
nice pfp
Thank you dude from the crisis center for telling me to look them up. I remembered. And I'm still alive. Thank you.
stefani miller thats deep man....
You doing better now? I've been to a few of those when I was younger.
Keep your head up
@Jarrod Davis Seriously? You must have absolutely NO idea what it feels like to be standing on the edge of utter hopelessness where death is better than life as it is. Don't EVER call someone weak who is suicidal-suicidal people are the strongest people you'll ever meet. A "normal" person couldn't deal with the deep emotional despair they experience daily.
@Jarrod Davis I'd much rather be weak than the one who degrades others in the comment section of a KZhead video. Ever heard the phrase, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."? Your insinuation that Cobain wasn't strong is absurd. Could you've handled the stress of fame and addiction as long as he did? Rhetorical question by the way. I'll leave my message at this... I hope that you soon come to your senses as a human and realize that there's more to life than kicking others while they're already down. I can only assume you're 13-16 and don't know how to show compassion yet..and that's excusable..if you're any older....yikes man.. all in all, I wish you the best in your life and that you NEVER have to experience being that low because I know you'd ABSOLUTELY crumble.
they make metal sound so beautiful
ERRA is so underrated. These guys are amazing. They sound even better live than their studio songs.
Dovah Ween that's a lie.
JT sounds awful live and in studio. Not even close to garret and Ian.
But JT aside Erra is AMAZING!!
Underrated? The bands i listen has like 3k subs and they produce top notch riffs and tastful song structures fit to be signed into a record label.
Maybe instrumentals but jesse’s voice is more wailing and can barely hit some of the higher notes live and doesn’t sound good. It does seem better when you are there but if you listen and watch some live performances on KZhead it’s pretty bad. But in the studio and album I absolutely love how his singing and voice sounds on the albums. It’s not that he can’t sing but some of that stuff is just high as hell to sing live for him so he has to just half wail half scream them lol
My boyfriend introduced me to these guys and I have to say they are pretty awesome! Awesome guitar riffs and the drummer is amazing! ❤️
Hell yea 🤘 Erra is great
Best progressive metalcore band ever.
When I hear songs like this it makes me that much happier that I never outgrew this Genre but grew with it.
The day before I found this song the word “era” kept following me around, and I didn’t know this band or this song existed. I went to bed with music playing on my tv as usual, I woke up at 3:33 am, with this song playing. And I love this song.
you just experienced synchronicity my friend!
That is so cool! They definitely have a healing effect.
That's a fucking lie.
Yesterday I woke up for work at 6am and this song was stuck in my head.. couldn't figure out why. I got ready for work as I normally do and couldn't help but put this on as I got in my car and headed for work. Though it was only 630am at that point I had completely wrapped my head around this song and was blasting it as I was driving down the road. The 1st verse kicked in and I started to tear up.. I realized it was this song that was bringing me back to a time when one of my best friends, whom I don't see anymore, would hang out with me almost every day, Skate, play video games, just living it up like best friends could. I don't see him anymore because he chose a life that I don't want to, and cannot be a part of. He was struggling, like many of us, with a lot and found the wrong avenue to alleviate stress and anxiety. I however managed to pull myself from the depression that I was in and quit with all the bad influences in my life. We could no longer be friends. We now live different lives and no longer see each other. It is songs like this that helps me to remember the good times I had with my best friend. I ended up playing this song all day and it was a nostalgic feeling like no other. Brought me to tears. Thank you Erra for your music, I can't explain how much it has helped me. See you in Feb 2023 @ Ace of Spades, Sacramento CA ❤️🔥
I'm not a hardcore fan of this genre, but this band is so unbelievably good.
Totally agreed!
i commented almost 6 months ago that march 13th 2023 would be the best day of my life, and i wasn't wrong. during this song (which was my absolute favourite song of the set), JT actually noticed the trance i was in singing along and crying my eyes out and actually pointed the mic at me, waved his hand and said "SING IT". ill never forget that, ever
Erra is one of the few bands with cleans that I DIG the fuck out of. hourglass and skyline in particular are probably my favs from this album.. Jesse just fucking destroys these songs in the best way.
One of the best on this album. These guys will always be great; can't wait for more from them.
Steve Aboagye I see you commenting on every video related to ERRA, damn
Harambe did 9/11 HAHAHA he dreams with jesse's dick
Steve Aboagye there releasing a new album next month^^
Beautiful. Love this record so much. Stoked for the next chapter! Keep it up my dudes!
sumerian records has like every badass style of bands
I agree! They have the best mix of bands
They know exactly who to sign and they know what the world needs
Anybody else obsessed with Jesse Cash's voice. Dude sings like a god
yup. Jesse and Spencer Sotelo are the best vocalists in metal, period
Ghost Atlas are unreal too
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES😍
u goin to nut when you listen to Ghost Atlas (hint: its Jesses project)
Saw them live and Jesse's voice is just as amazing live as it is in these jams
this song is what got me into metal, masterpiece.
Thank you for making this song guys, you have no idea how much it helped me when I buried my dog, my best friend of 10 years. Thank you Erra, your music hit home and did exactly what musicians are on this earth to do..move us with their creations.
I knew I recognized that multi colored light overpass. I'm from Birmingham, I was delighted to confirm that this was where this was filmed. Those Regions and Wells Fargo buildings are unmistakable.
yup, that's where ERRA are from too
@@mylife1221 which I also just found out and was equally delighted. I wish I'd seen them live while I lived there. One of the guitarists from Mastodon went to my highschool but I didn't learn of them til after the fact. Missing opportunities left and right.
Erra will always strike like a knife to the heart. I've also just now put my finger on the fact that his vocals remind me of bits and pieces of Saosin❤
This song is my favorite song of all times, its a true work of art, i can feel each note deep in my heart. Thank you guys ❤️
💖
I played this song so loud I got an ERRA 404: Hearing Not Found
underrated comment
Hahaha wow
lolz W
Used to listen to Erra years ago and I decided to give this a listen for old times sake and WOW I am blown away. So glad I clicked on this video. This is so good.
By far the best band around. Cant get enough of this whole album drift.
One of the best
best song on the album
One of my least favorite on the album actually, but that's not saying much; it's still good.
DjentWorldwideTV irreversible was my favorite
notstarboard sleeper and irreversible are the GOAT
^agreed^
Luminesce & Safehaven for me :D
I've just discovered this band and think to listen to more songs of them. Initial guitar sound is pretty amazing!
This song heals my pain and comforts me when I'm hurting. You guys are my favorite. #depression
I hope you're feeling better
Same. Much love, hope you're doing good
hope you are well dude
Love those clean vocal segments J.T fits in between the harsh ones..perfect!
this music video is my literal drive to work. those are my streets and i never realized all those nights that i was listening to erra on those streets that you were actually there
What a lie.
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 you good bro? need some cash or a friend?
What streets/city was this filmed in?
More than a year later and still the most underrated. I love this album I cant wait for new shit! This music is 🔥
I'm so happy that this song got a video! They deserve a listen. This is honestly, in my opinion, the best song on the album!
This album is a metal masterpiece. One of the best of all time in my opinion. The melodies, the riffs, the vocals, the mixing. It's fucking incredible. More people need to realize what these guys are doing. There's only a handful of bands in this genre, on this level. These aren't 18 year old scene kids who just want to scream and be cool. These are real musicians putting their soul into everything they do. If you can't appreciate that, then you need help.
JT's cleans in the middle of the song always get me and my feels
I literally love every single song by these guys
Yes
This isnt just any song ITS ART, PURE ART
Such a beautiful song/album. Truly a masterpiece
the delivery on "but nothing ever fits quite the same in the end" is so hauntingly beautiful
JT clean vocals always sound so good
The last 30 seconds is the best part of the song. So much emotion, so well done. 11/10
One of my favorite songs by ERRA!! So amazing!
Love this one so much! And looking forward to the latest release!
G O O D. If they make a 3rd music video for the album, i hope it will be for The Hypnotist. But this is killer!
that or Orchid!
I wish hourglass gets one
Waleed Bin Alim I'm on board with hourglass
Sorry for being the only 24 year old that's still emo. But I listen to the song everyday to keep myself from pulling the trigger. I cry listening to this song. Thank you erra. I got the jelly fish tattooed in black & white because you've saved me multiple times. I love you & & could love a song more. You keep me alive. Thank you.
barkley182 I totally feel you bro :D same age, similar feelings, same love for ERRA
barkley182 I'm glad you're still with us bro 🤘I hope you have a great day
Glad you’re here man! But you kept yourself alive by your own power. Erra just reminded you that you had it in you 🤘🏻
You’re not alone brother I too am 24! Sometimes music has such a powerful movement over us. Glad it’s helping you for the better as it does for me. Keep on pushing forward and striving for greatness!
barkley182 erra is amazing
I've heard this song a thousand times since the album came out...I still got chills watching this video. Erra is love.
Just discovered this band about 2- 3 months ago and im loving it
Saw these guys in December, probably one of the tightest group of musicians I've ever seen
I just saw them last night with Born of Osiris, Ocean Grove and August Burns Red. This song was their best live.
Just saw these guys live last month they are now one of my favorite bands. So creative
Every song in this album brings a tear to the eyes of anyone with feelings... This band is perfection in my opinion. Thank you Erra for saving me.
Will always be one of my favorite songs
love this song, very quiet and pacefull.
I listen to this song at least once a day!! One of my favorite songs I've heard in a long time!!
Just saw these guys live last night. They put on an incredible show. This song is definitely my favorite from this album and probably my second favorite overall, right behind "The Architect".
When I listen to this song for some reason like , I cry , I don’t know how or why but it’s so beautiful and I just start crying lol, I saw you guys in St. Louis on nov 6th and I hoped to god you played this song and you never did 😑
Just saw these guys yesterday when they opened for Dance Gavin Dance. They are really good live
The Drift album is one of 3 albums I have on my phone. It's all I listen to. Saw them for the first time at 1904 in Jacksonville and I've been hooked since. Great job on the video guys! 🤘
always have loved these guys, they deserve more recognition
After thirty six minutes of Sony Vegas tutorials
Samir Golchha this is way better than I could ever do and sadly I've worked hours in Vegas lol
hahah so true
Love this song and album! Jesse's voice sounds sick!
I've listened to this at least 1000 times. I ain't done! love these dudes
Love it! Really captures the mood of the song! You guys are so awesome!
The first time I listened to Erra (Pattern Interrupt) it was the first time I´ve ever felt in Love and ever will be
My favourite from drift album!
I remember chilling with you dudes on your first tour with Elitist. I can not thank you enough. After hearing this, I feel inspired to maintain belief in what is creative and pure. The way these concepts are described especially in this song are relatable and mind blowing.
The coming undone part always gets me so stocked for new stuff keep it up!
Got to meet JT, of all the people in bands I've met he has got to be the kindest and most well mannered of them all. Shout out to JT and the band they're amazing.
This is one song off this album that needed a music video and I'm almost certain this is what listeners pictured driving through at night
One of my favorites songs of Erra
IVE BEEN NONSTOP SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR 10 MINUTES! Worth the search! ❤
Wasn't a huge fan of the album as a whole, but this is definitely one of my favorite songs by ERRA.
1:38 thought I was traveling to the dimension of the djent gods
oooh, sick burn
Is everything djent
Just wait til you watch and listen to this part on Acid.
God I forgot how cringey “djent” fans can be
I just saw them tonight and they were amazing. They hold up so good live
This is so beautiful. Hit me real hard emotionally
This band needs more exposure
this song have a lot of meaning for me, thanks erra for exist and be one of the my favorites band, un saludo desde Chile lml
かっこよすぎる
This album is top 5 for me all time. Listen to it everyday since it came out.
I'm genuinely trying so hard not to overplay every song they've ever made. Best fucking band hands down.
Ever heard of green day? Simp
Give Vanish Canvas a listen.
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 lol Green Day
To the band- These guys have helped me through so much and this is djent fuck yea!
Just saw these guys live abt an hour ago. What a crazy experience that was
awesome video, skyline is such a beautiful song. still my favorite band, i love you guys so much ❤
should have been sleeper. that song deserves a video
That 1975 A E S T H E T I C S
Rui Carneiro yeah cuz they totally screamed like that back then 😂 jk for real tho i love that 70s vibe the video gives
@@negirose4625 you realize The 1975 is a band? Should check them out if you didn't know!
I knew what you mean lmao
Been 6 years since I found this album in hs, I love this band god bless you for these beautiful nostalgic sounds
One of my favorite songs on the album. Awesome music video
Remember When this only had 50k views. It makes me so happy to see it spur up!
Erra's getting big :)
I knew that was bham. word guys, u did good.
This song is an unbelievable masterpiece, my all time favorite song from them and in general. This song has helped me through times and gets me to see the brighter picture in life, like the great moments I've had. I truly appreciate ERRA as a band and I truly appreciate this song so much.
I legit teared up and my jaw dropped when I saw the Atlanta skyline. When this song came out I happened to be listening to this when I would drive toward that skyline every week. The feelings, the lyrics get to me so much. Atlanta holds a lot of memories for me, so thank you ERRA for making this song even more special. "City lights and skylines....You'll never know how much I meant it..."
I still cry from that chorus. I don't know why it hits my past so much
It’s a new erra
It was the greatest thing ever to meet you guys in Denver, you're the best!! I'll always look up to you guys 🌹
One of my favorite Erra songs! These guys can do no wrong!
