More reasons why the metalcore genre is more than just what's on the surface.

11 Truthful Lyrics By 'While She Sleeps'
Pintrest

Metalcore, post-hardcore, and any genre of the like containing screams of any sort are misunderstood genres as people generally take the music at face value; simply what is (or isn't...) heard, not looking into the actual lyrics and meanings behind the scratchy growls, piercing squeals, and melodic harmonies. While She Sleeps is a metalcore band hailing from Sheffield, England who has been producing albums since 2010 and is impending a release of their newest album, You Are We, set to release April of this year. After hearing their latest single, Silence Speaks, from the upcoming album, I became re-obsessed with this band and was inspired to share ten lyrics that really stand out to me; lyrics that are truthful; lyrics that prove that metalcore is more than simply what is on the surface.

1. "For freedom of speech, there’s not much to be said; cut off your tongue and stand instead." (Your Evolution, 2015)

2. "From hospitals to honesty and everything that you need of me, I'll be there; my inspiration, my guidance, my home...I will look up to the stars, so you will forever see, the best part of you still lives in me." (Our Courage, Our Cancer, 2012)

3. "We're fighting fighting with fighting; our unity is divided; this is the system declining on us." (New World Torture, 2015)

4. "It's like raking dead leaves in the wind; it's like saints living life without sins; it's like digging our graves in the sand." (You Are We, 2017)

5. "If you want words to live your life by, walk the graves, walk the graves; it's written on the headstones." (Our Legacy, 2015)

6. "I think the silence speaks volumes." (Silence Speaks, 2017)

7. "Walk the rope, walk the rope, from everything to nothing; hope you know, hope you know, this music is our therapy; a song for those who never give up until we're ashes or dust." (Life In Tension, 2015)

8. "Are we too blind to see through honest eyes? War will cease when we refuse to fight. Tell me where is your heart?" (Silence Speaks, 2017)

9. "And after all the pain they inflict, we have no blood but we have a purpose." (Be[Lie]ve, 2012)

10. "Don't take your time for granted; don't chase your life away; it's not coming back." (No Sides, No Enemies, 2015)

11. "I hope your god can save you as your devil leads the way." (You Are We, 2017)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
