Born to Be a Rockstar

I was born to be a rockstar
Got lost along the way
Somewhere out beneath the clouds
My mama calls my name
I was born to be a rockstar
It doesn't matter what they say
Way off now beneath the clouds
Your mama calls my name
Check it out
I was born to be a rockstar
I can't say that it came true
Somewhere out beneath the clouds
There's a playlist for you too
When you're born to be a rockstar
Be careful what you do
Somewhere out beneath the clouds
Nobody even hears you
Fa la la
La la la la
Nobody even hears you
I was born to be a rockstar
Got them Ray-Bans on my face
Somewhere now beyond the clouds
With billionaires in space
I was born to be a rockstar
I'm aware that's not the case
Somewhere out beyond the clouds
It's lonely here in space
Fa la la
La la la la
Nobody even hears you
Fa la la
La la la
Nobody even hears you

Enemies

Take a look in the mirror
Don't you try to look away
Who's that staring back at you?
Don't you recognize the face?
Take a look in the mirror
Don't you try to look away
Don't you
Don't you
You're not enemies
You've got the new disease
You're not anything at all
You're just conditioned to believe in
Enemies
Nothing in the past
Defines who you are today
Life, it moves pretty fast
Oh man, what'd Ferris Bueller say?
Nothing in the past
Defines who you are today
Don't you
Oh, won't you?
You're not enemies
You've got the new disease
You're not anything at all
You're just conditioned to believe in
Enemies
Who's your favorite troll?
Mine lives underneath a bridge
Tries collecting a toll
But don't know what to do with it
Man, I hate all these trolls
It ain't ever gonna end
Don't you
Don't you?
You're not enemies
You've got the new disease
You're not anything at all
I'm not anything at all
We're not enemies
We've got the new disease
We're not anything at all
We're just conditioned to believe in
Enemies

What It Means

Woke up to the news today
Another young white male lost his way
Dip back in time to see
Is it the left or the right who's pulling strings?
Everyone has a part to play
Are you the victim, blame or the prophecy?
Maybe you sit back silently
And watch everything burn on your TV
Stop
Breathe
The weight of trying to live your life
Will bring you to your knees
All the time we waste is gone
All the while, tomorrow's still a dream
It's still a dream
We're left to wonder what it means
Straw men are here to stay
Drop another million dollars on a new campaign
Talking points are all the same
There ain't a damn thing there for you or me
Tell me how it's not insane
Electing dumb motherfuckers based on a name
Waiting on the world to change
Just another lucky player at the big blame game
Stop
Breathe
The weight of trying to live your life
Will bring you to your knees
All the time we waste is gone
All the while, tomorrow's still a dream
It's still a dream
We're left to wonder what it means
Stop
Breathe
The weight of trying to live your life
Will bring you to your knees
All the time we waste is gone
All the while, tomorrow's still a dream
It's still a dream
We're left to wonder what it means

Price I Pay
04:32

I'm at a loss for words to explain
Why I am how I am today
Was it the chicken or the egg
That gave rise to my misery
When your world comes crashing down
In the most catastrophic way
Just 11 years old, all alone
And don't know what to say
I've had a lifetime filled with pain
From something I can't even remember
The way it pulses through my veins
Makes every drug feel like a pretender
I've been out here in the cold for so long
I'm the new ice age
I don't give a damn what you say anymore
I can't fall from grace
When everyone that you love
Turns your love into a world of hate
I hope there's no place left to hide
Lord knows there ain't been one for me
I've had a lifetime filled with pain
From something I can't even remember
The way it pulses through my veins
Makes every drug feel like a pretender
And every nerve is wrecked with shame
From seeing nothing but a monster every day
It's just the price I pay
It's all coming to an end
There's a sense in the air you can taste
Judgment Day for us all
Should be having to live this way
When your world comes crashing down
In the most catastrophic way
Just 11 years old
Fuck you
I don't know what to say
I've had a lifetime filled with pain
From something I can't even remember
The way it pulses through my veins
Makes every drug feel like a pretender
And every nerve is wrecked with shame
From seeing nothing but a monster every day
It's just the price I pay

Midnight Heavyweight

Brighton, UK band leaven surging hard rock with spaced-out stoner-doom on their second LP, recorded in an old chapel on the English coast.

A heavy high-concept album about art and fate, the Indiana band's third LP is their most focused yet.

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.”

The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies.
