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.
Crosses Lyrics[Intro: Kellin Quinn]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Kellin Quinn]
No weight, no substance
I gave it all and you gave me nothing (Nothing)
It's too late to be cautious
I’m not God, so carry your own crosses (Crosses)
[Chorus: Kellin Quinn]
I pick myself up just to fall back down
I hurt myself when no one's around
You don't know who you are
When you’re standing in the dark
Can you come back when you've been left for dead?
Do you believe the bullshit in your head?
You don't know who you are
When you're standing in the dark
Yeah
[Verse 2: Spencer Chamberlain]
I feel safe when you're watching
This mask just might be my coffin
I cared too much
By now you'd think I've had enough
Just tеll me anything, as long as I can't feel the pain
So stop this fucking game ’causе I was never listening
[Chorus: Kellin Quinn]
I pick myself up just to fall back down
I hurt myself when no one’s around
You don't know who you are
When you’re standing in the dark
Can you come back when you've been left for dead?
Do you believe the bullshit in your head?
You don't know who you are
When you're standing in the dark
[Bridge: Kellin Quinn, and Spencer Chamberlain]
It’s not just in my head, it's not just in my head
The fear of every breath, the fear of every breath
If I was just like you, if I was just like you
I'd be running for my life too
Running for my life too
[Breakdown: Kellin Quinn, Spencer Chamberlain, and both]
I am, I am
The face I fear the most
Stay in the dark
I can't face me alone
I am, I am
The devil on my back
Wake up, carry the cross
Then fall back off the track, off the track
We're standing in the dark
You might also like[Chorus: Kellin Quinn]
I pick myself up just to fall back down
I hurt myself when no one's around
You don't know who you are
When you're standing in the dark
Can you come back when you've been left for dead?
Do you believe the bullshit in your head?
You don't know who you are
When you're standing in the dark
[Outro: Kellin Quinn]
Standing in the dark
When you're standing in the dark
Standing in the dark
When you're standing in the dark
Yeah, yeah
When you're standing in the dark
Standing in the dark
