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.
[Verse 1]
Life is walking on a tight rope
With nothing but a blindfold
It's a long way, it's a long way down
I'm, yeah, I'm a little crazy
But can you really blame me?
It's a long way, it's a long way down
[Pre-Chorus]
For every step that I take
I take two steps back
It's like a punch to the face
It's like a knife right in the
(Knife right in the, knife right in the, knife right in the)
[Chorus]
It's like a knife right in the back
Like a bullet to the head
Why can't I understand?
The blood is on my hands
Now I'm standing on the edge
With nowhere to go (To go)
This is how it feels, this is how it feels
How it feels to be
Lost, lost
[Verse 2]
I've been stranded in an ocean
Treading water but it's hopeless, hopeless
It's a long way, it's a long way down
Why am I always on the brink of
Losing it all? Am I just wasting my time?
It's a long way, it's a long way down
[Pre-Chorus]
For every step that I take
I take two steps back
It's like a punch to the face
[Chorus]
It's like a knife right in the back
Like a bullet to the head
Why can't I understand?
The blood is on my hands
Now I'm standing on the edge
With nowhere to go (To go)
This is how it feels, this is how it feels
How it feels to be
Lost, lost, lost
[Bridge]
And it's a long way down (It's a long way down)
And it's a long way down (Long way down)
Why do I do this to myself?
Why do I put myself through hell?
And will I ever understand
The blood is on my hands?
(Knife right in the, knife right in the, knife right in the)
[Chorus]
It's like a knife right in the back
Like a bullet to the head
Why can't I understand
The blood is on my hands?
Now I'm standing on the edge
With nowhere to go (To go)
This is how it feels, this is how it feels
How it feels to be
Lost, lost
How it feels to be
Lost
