En la tranquila ciudad de Orem, Utah, cuatro jóvenes se unieron para formar una banda que cambiaría sus vidas y las vidas de millones de fanáticos alrededor del mundo. El camino de The Used comenzó en 2000, cuando Bert McCracken (vocalista), Quinn Allman (guitarrista), Jeph Howard (bajista) y Branden Steineckert (baterista) se encontraron por primera vez. Cada uno de ellos compartía una pasión insaciable por la música y una visión común de crear algo que resonara profundamente con la audiencia.
El sonido de The Used se destacó inmediatamente en la escena musical. Su mezcla de emo, post-hardcore y rock alternativo, junto con las letras crudas y emocionales de Bert McCracken, capturó rápidamente la atención de los críticos y los fans. Su dinámica escénica y su habilidad para conectar con el público les permitieron ganar un seguidor fiel, incluso antes del lanzamiento de su primer álbum.
En 2002, The Used lanzó su álbum debut homónimo bajo el sello Reprise Records. Producido por John Feldmann, el álbum incluía sencillos como "Box Full of Sharp Objects", "The Taste of Ink" y "Blue and Yellow", que rápidamente se convirtieron en himnos para una generación. La capacidad del grupo para capturar la emoción bruta y la angustia juvenil ayudó a solidificar su lugar en la corriente principal de la música.
The making of buried myself alive Song Lyrics
The making of buried myself alive by The Used You almost always pick the best times,
To drop the worst lines.
You almost made me cry again this time.
Another false alarm,
Red flashing lights.
Well this time I'm not going to watch myself die.
I think I made it a game to play your game,
And let myself cry.
I buried myself alive on the inside,
So I could shut you out,
And let you go away for a long time.
I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
And if you want me back,
You're gonna have to ask.
I think the chain broke away,
And I felt it the day that I had my own time.
I took advantage of myself and felt fine,
But it was worth the night,
I caught an early flight and I made it home.
I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
And if you want me back,
You're gonna have to ask.
Nicer than that (2X)
With my foot on your neck,
I finally have you,
Right where I want you (4X)
I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
And if you want me back,
You're gonna have to ask.
Nicer than that (2X)
And if you want me back,
You're gonna have to ask.
Nicer than that
NICER!!
NICER!!
