Sleeping With Sirens es una banda estadounidense de post-hardcore que se formó en 2009 en Orlando, Florida. La banda fue creada por miembros de For All We Know, Broadway, y Paddock Park. Desde su inicio, el grupo ha estado activo en la escena musical con una energía y dinamismo que los ha distinguido de otros en su género.
La formación original de la banda incluía a vocalista Kellin Quinn, conocido por su amplio rango vocal y su particular tono de voz, junto con Jesse Lawson en la guitarra rítmica, Jack Fowler en la guitarra principal, Gabe Barham en la batería y Justin Hills en el bajo.
A lo largo de su carrera, Sleeping With Sirens ha lanzado varios álbumes de estudio, cada uno mostrando un crecimiento y evolución tanto en su estilo como en su contenido lírico. Sus temas abarcan desde la angustia juvenil hasta la autorreflexión y el empoderamiento personal.
Su primer álbum de estudio, With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear, fue lanzado en marzo de 2010. Este álbum presentó una mezcla de post-hardcore con elementos de pop punk, y rápidamente capturó la atención de una audiencia más amplia, alcanzando altas posiciones en las listas de Billboard. Canciones como If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn y The Bomb Dot Com v2.0 se convirtieron en clásicos instantáneos para los seguidores de la banda.
Congratulations
Welcome to a brand new generation
You don't know
So let me help you understand
You see, you try to build yourself a reputation
So you can prove to everyone
That you're the man
So why is it us that make you feel so helpless?
You better get it out while you still can
Cuz when those lights go on around you
And nobody gives a damn
You're gonna wish that you had taken our advice
I've been down, I've been out
Now I can't keep my face off a cover
That ain't what it's about
You still have so much left to learn
Congratulations
They say you're the man
Congratulations
You see I do what you can't
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves
Congratulations, we're gonna give you hell
(Get 'em Matty)
They try to do it like me
But they do it all wrong
I'll pass the torch when someone better comes along
Congratulations to every label that ever turned me down
Me and my top 20 record aren't too worried about it now
I hope this lesson taught is a lesson learned
Now go and bury your head while me and Kell rule the world!
Congratulations
They say you're the man (yes I am)
Congratulations
You see I do what you can't
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves
Congratulations, let's give 'em hell
Could you please give us the spotlight
Cuz I have something to say
You may not like the subject
But I'll say this anyway
We're so sick of all this so-called
Shitty music that you play
So could you please do us a favor
Stay the f*** out of our way
Congratulations
They say you're the man
Congratulations
You see I do what you can't
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves
Please, cuz I need to make more room for myself
Congratulations
