Dead By Sunrise - Walking In Circles

Song: Walking In Circles
Artist: Dead By Sunrise
Album: Out Of Ashes


Dead By Sunrise is an American rock band, from California.

Dead By Sunrise is the side project of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington. I think the song Walking In Circles is about how a lot of people walk through life without really paying attention or thinking about things that are happening. Because some people find it easier to shut off their minds than to think about the stuff that scares them. How some people will just do what they're told, because they're scared to go against the majority or against authority, and how some people never ask questions, because they're afraid of the answers. I think it's also about people who are blind to their own mistakes. This song is sung from the point of view of a person who is disturbed by the number of people who don't seem to care. I think Chester Bennington is a great lyricist and vocalist. I really like this song.

"Walking In Circles"

Quiet
Everyone's sleeping through life
Afraid that their questions
Just might have answers
Quiet
Everyone shut off their mind
So I'll turn on mine

Alone in a world
With millions of souls
Walking in Circles
Trapped in their dreams
Unhealthy, unclean
Walking in Circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

Quiet
We're living inside of our mouths
Afraid someone just might
Hear what we're thinking
Quiet
Careful of what you might say
'cause they'll put you away

Alone in a world
With millions of souls
Walking in circles
Trapped in their dreams
Unhealthy, unclean
Walking in Circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

[Solo:]

Alone in a world
With millions of souls
Walking in circles
Trapped in their dreams
Unhealthy, unclean
Walking in Circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

Alone in a world (Walking in circles, now)
With millions of souls (Walking in circles, now)
Walking in circles
Alone in a world (Walking in circles)
With millions of souls (Walking in circles)
Walking in circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

Dead By Sunrise - Crawl Back In

Song: Crawl Back In
Artist: Dead By Sunrise
Album: Out Of Ashes

Dead By Sunrise is an American rock band.

I guess I should start by telling you that Dead By Sunrise is the side project of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington. I first heard the song Crawl Back In on the radio, I liked the song and I thought the singers voice sounded familiar, but I'd never heard of Dead By Sunrise. About a month later I watched a podcast interview with Chester Bennington and he was talking about Dead By Sunrise. Apparently he had written a bunch of songs he didn't think were right for Linkin Park, so he and some friends decided to record them and eventually became Dead By Sunrise. After I remembered the song and realized Chester was singing it, I downloaded it. I think the song is about wanting to get away from the bad stuff in your life, wanting to hide away from it all. About not wanting to be the person others see you as, or try to make you into. Maybe also about not wanting to be like the people around you to fit in, because it might be easier but it's not real.

"Crawl Back In"

Sometimes I look at my own face
And I don't know who I am
I see a piece of everyone I know
Buried underneath my skin

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

It's hard to think of anything that I haven't heard before
I hear these voices in my head
They could be mine but I'm not sure
I hear them telling me who they think I should be
Why won't they leave me alone
I can't deny it I try to fight it
But I'm losing control

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in

Sometimes I lie
Sometimes I crawl
Sometimes I feel like I want to die

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in

I want to crawl back in
