LYRICS
I won’t be nervous
When everybody around us
Says god we don’t deserve this
And begs before they accept our fate
I want the world but I’m not
Prepared to work for a change
I think I’d rather be dead
I’m not anti-social, I’m anti-bullshit
You’re gonna follow like a freelance sucker of the next biggest trend
We’re pissing into the wind, to be heard by the indifferent
Shit talker, you’ve double crossed your own
You’re gonna suffer like a rat in the smoke
How the hell am I supposed to know
We’re only human is a valid excuse
For why my mind's polluted
Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it?
So raise it up, up, up
If you’re sick of these fake smile politics
Up up if you’re sick of this race we’re running
What you living for if you can’t even feel it?
What is living without letting go
Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night
The mask you wear to cover it up and we can see it in your eyes
Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night
The mask you wear to cover it up and I can see it in your eyes
I'm sick of the sound
I'm sick of the hand we’ve been dealt
Sick from the drugs that they tell me to take
I'm sick of the drugs that we take to rebel
Sick of corruption in wealth
Sick of corruption itself
Sick of division in colour, religion
When we’re all the same
Just leave it alone
My head's about to explode
So sick of the same sound syndrome
Thank fuck for headphones

WHAT A BAND
Architects and While She Sleeps at the same day
that's the best thing that could have happened this month
Tommynski they both played ally pally this February aswell !! Was soo good
With the same message behind the lyrics and video. What a weird coincidence! :D
ikr I was just thinking the same. I was so happy.
architects? hahahaha are the worst ...
@@pep5294 Are you crazy mate?
Can we appreciate how perfect Lawrence's headbanging is.
Best comment 🖤🌹🙏
I’m new, which one is him
Reminds of Nathan Explosion from Dethklok
Aaran is really going at it tho...
That make me miss my long hair 😭
That opening riff, instant like lol
tottally hahaha
without bass guitar, it sounds so empty and hollow.
That’s why i’m really really love this band .
Freakin awesome
@@jackcravford8744 Yeah that's why people use bass guitars in bands.
Holy shit the snare sound at 1:43 is the loveliest assortments of air vibrations I've heard in a long time.
Yeah great composure there for sure, coming from a drummer.
Architects and then WSS, so hype today
Hell yeah
Same man
Novelists new single "Eyes Wide Shut" is dope as well!!
that's what I like to call good morning.
@@JR-90 that too Disturbed - The Vengeful One [Official Music Video]
Love the style of this video.
Think they're created/directed by Mats brother

Whats the music at the end
"I'm not anti-social, I'm anti bullshit" goddamn bro it hits so hard. Sometimes i feel alone while I try to be realistic and visionary thinking about my dream. I left every mainstream thing and I think it makes me become anti-social. But this song realized me that I'm not anti-social but I'm leaving from bullshits arround me. Thank you for this, hail for you While She Sleeps
Idiot.
@@kopiovastaava4648 shut up mate
@@teo-medesi You fucks have absolutely no idea what "antisocial" means.
@@kopsu6739 Instead of being physically closer, thanks to technology we're only further and further apart.
@@teo-medesi Antisocial means sociopath. Not giving a shit about human contact is "asocial". People use the term "antisocial" very lightly and incorrectly. Antisocial is the same thing as ASPD (Ted Bundy, Andrei Tšikatilo).
love that spin kick the opening riff guitarist does when he gets to his spot
Very strong message in the video
What a massage?
@@ovchinnikov98 the message is the people is shit thats why im not antisocial im antibullshit the bullyng for people who is alone is the school is so hard i passed for that and i think thats the message and i love it
Nah the message is open your eyes this band litterly just pointed out some major world problems with their platform the guy who got beat up probably becomes unstable ya know like anger wise those kids were hooked to their phones the pig on the table that's alil to deep tbh because we betray our own kind meaning life mabe not in the eat them sense but yes what I mean tho is even detroying habits I'm sure but the main thing is you notice not a difference besides their looks they sit at the table eating together the couple that can mean anything you want it to just like anything the politics but God dam the fish tank that respresents black matter if you will you notice the girl stands behind and watches that could respresents the soul so yeah this shit is deep and prolly why it caught your attention that's how soul works it's mysterious yet there just the name while she sleeps would be a soul phrase that means alot to one if not all of them forreal it's a dam good song forsure thought I'd be the only one tbh
It's really not that hard to understand. I'll break it down for you guys. First off the title "Anti-social" is about anti-society, not anti-social as in you don't like talking to people. Secondly, the message behind the first verse is that the world is turning to shit but no one is doing anything about it and WSS is saying they're not going to be surprised when shit hits the fan. "I won’t be nervous
when everybody around us says god we don’t deserve this. And begs before they accept our fate. I want the world but I’m not prepared to work for a change. I think I’d rather be dead" They are talking about everything from climate change destroying the Earth to how much of a joke politics is turning into, humanity is on the fast track to a shitty future and once it comes people are going to ask what we did to deserve it. But the answer is because no one is fighting for change. Then the next verse is about the political divide in the world. "Shit talker, you’ve double crossed your own
. You’re gonna suffer like a rat in the smoke. How the hell am I supposed to know. We’re only human is a valid excuse for why my mind's polluted. Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it?" They are talking about the political climate in America with all the dumb shit about "fake news" and how the current president and political party is double crossing humanity because of greed and ignorance. Trump constantly spews out bullshit that is completely false but he acts like anything he thinks is a fact and anyone who disagrees is "fake news" and he's actually convinced a decent amount of people that all his bullshit is true. That's what they mean by "How am I supposed to know. We're only human is a valid excuse for why my mind is polluted" aka too many people believe in his bullshit because they're only human and their minds are polluted with all the propaganda going on in the world. Hence the next verse: "So raise it up, up, up
. If you’re sick of these fake smile politics. Up up if you’re sick of this race we’re running" They are talking about how sick they are of all the fake greedy politicians who don't have everyday people's best intentions at heart but act like they do. WSS is saying the whole"It's the other political party's fault! Blame the Republicans!" or "Blame the democrats!" is a stupid race we're all trying to win against each other. When the real problem is corrupt corporations and corrupt governments themselves and people should be working together to overthrow the greedy people at the top screwing over the masses instead of blaming their neighbors. Hence: "Sick of corruption in wealth
. Sick of corruption itself. Sick of division in colour, religion. When we’re all the same"
.
Tl;dr The message is that governments are corrupt and they are intentionally keeping citizens divided so people are protesting against their neighbors in the streets over dumb political disagreements that governments intentionally fuel the fire of, instead of humanity working together to protest all the corruption and greed that has taken over the planet and will lead to a shitty future for everyone. This song is essentially saying "Fuck society. Politicians are in bed with corporations and they're destroying the Earth and screwing over everyday people in the name of profits. And they're getting away with it by intentionally dividing people between politics, race, religion, etc. so everyone is fighting each other instead of working together to fight the real evil." And the song is a shout out to anyone who understands all of that and is growing tired of it.
@@bestieswithtesties546 absolutely
Let me just say, as the owner of a production studio in Brooklyn, the amount of work that went into this video is bonkers. They always kill it with their visual content. They’re the full package.
We're spoiled for sure. From the sound byte of the pig, to the gunshot. It's insane. And let's not forget the headbanging 🤘🤘
THAT'S SO F*CKING BAD@SS YOU GET TO WORK WITH BANDS LIKE THIS!! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
Such an underrated band... still here and it's almost 2022...
3:38 My dear lord.
Boner on
1st Riff
Then im sold
i got only love for this band
musically = sooo goood
politically= sooo strong
and the live shows = new level
Keep it up guys
You couldn't be more Right. I've seen these guys twice, with BFMV and Asking Alexandria. WSS surely deserved to be the Headliner.. They absolutely destroyed Richmond, Va that night... Even came out and met with the Fans and no had to beg for a pic or Autograph.. Classy group of guys
That take at 3:44 is a total masterpiece!!
I literally just read this at 3:45 in lol
Absolutely, they killed it with this video.
When I first heard of While she sleeps, they were on tour with Asking Alexandria. My God they put on a great show. It’s bands like this that appreciate a good breakdown which make me a metal head for life 🤘
@@anunctioninbraille7752 same
Real ear-splitter!
The Headbanging In The Beginning Is So Damn Fucking Perfect
I'm quickly becoming very anti-social with the amount of time I spend listening to this song
We are not anti-social. We are anti bullshit
@@johnmichaelmondilla1954 100% bro .
@@johnmichaelmondilla1954 💯💯💯
🤣🤣🤣😂
The biggest enemy is stupidity mate, think about it.
I love the head banging at the beginning 🤣
Same
Me too :)
*Same, me too :).*
That opening riff with that perfect headbanging... I find myself coming back to this video usually just to watch the beginning!
New Beartooth album, Architects this week, and WSS in March. Hype.
This is the kind of song that you do want to retreat into your own world to take it all in. Thank fuck for headphones.
Architecs and While She Sleeps the same day? Wow what a day!!
Its a gift to be blessed with on a mediocre day.
Must've listened to this one over a 100 times and the breakdown still tears me up. What a beast of a song.
"I'm not a diesel show.....I'm not table chaiirrrr"
shit. Now i cant unheard it
@@hazimazli7617 me too, bro
#petrolforlife
"I'm not IT so... I'm-"
What I would give to be a diesel show or a table chair
I slept like 3 hours and almost died in my physics lectures. Just wanted to take a nap, but listened to this. Now I'm awake af.
same, bro. Writing my physics report all night long after this song
So listening to songs is basically like taking a stimulant for you guys? Weird shit.
This is the perfect song for those who hate the human race
Ikr favorite song
Human race sucks balls
I’ve lost faith in humanity a long time ago xD.
This song is made by humans, so...
@@traquemorrel1820 so what maybe they hate the human race to how do you know they don't
The message behind this song is very heavy. It made me cry, no kidding
That opening riff will never, ever get old.
I've never heard lyrics that contained more truth in my entire life. Well done, well performed and well spoken.
You guys are so talented and amazing
Dean Ambrose sucks
3:44 made me slam and smash pretty much everything in my room
You my friend have the right idea. 🤘🏼
Same. My mom came in, took one look, then pretended she didn’t know me
@@beforeIr0t Mine just picked up my keyboard and started smashing it into the wall. Dad was like "the fuk you guys doing" breakdown started nearing the second repeat and he lost his shit too
had to replace my big screen last month cuz of this.
hahaha omg
When I see something like this , i feel good to be alive. We are sick of the way society is going .... this has to be one of the best music videos ever made. i could not look away.
Лоуренс, убирающийся в конце клипа - просто нечто. Можно быть бесконечно брутальным вокалистом, но уборку никто не отменял :) (Greetings from Russia)
You boys and Architects are restoring my faith in the metalcore scene.
Fan since first EP, refreshing to see you guys still growing going from strength to strength
I found this band at 2021 after watching the featuring with Oli BMTH
amazing band!!!!!!
Same
Welcome to the fanbase then, friends
That was one of the most lyrically, and visually stunning music videos I have ever seen, props to you all.
Another great one. You guys are good at always changing up and doing different sounds. Can't wait for the album! Turn metalcore on it's head again!!
Black Mirror music video edition. God damn they went hard on this one. What a bange
One of the guys at my work showed me this band and now I’m hooked
hooked..? to the guy from your work? haha I'm so funny
Been watching these guys since “This is the six” their sound keeps growing and I love it. This band embodies everything I love about rock n roll music. Thanks guys keep up the good work!
4:15 Flashing text says:
"The new album
SO WHAT?
out march 1st"
And this is why songs like this are never in the mainstream charts, people like the lies they're fed and can't stand the truth about the way they live
The One Who Knocks if it sells enough records it’ll be in the charts regardless
@@harrymacgill6213 but wont be aired regardless
spot on my friend. lets get rid of charts. true music is not for phony people. u are one of us. Anti bullshit people.
The One Who Knocks metalcore rarely gets played on the radio regardless of the message though
Yea it's sad that this type of music doesn't get played on the radio. I about shat when I heard architects "doomsday" for several months on my local rock station. That's the only time I've seen music I like on the radio
I feel like I've gone off a lot of heavy music but While She Sleeps are the one band I will keep coming back to
This song is literally such a mood
My girlfriend doesn’t like this band; so I hear it While She sleeps 🤟🏾〰️🖤
She won't be sleeping for long after this starts blasting in your crib. :-)
Dude this is a emo dad joke
Badumm tssss
My gf does so I listen to it whenever
Is she pregnant? Cuz of the dad joke.
Love the sound when i found this in random playlist in spotify. And when i read the lyrics. I love it more.
The best is the dude petting the dog before the breakdown. And they're both like, "sorry gotta go".
I’d watch this band play live even if I didn’t like them
Thank fuck for headphones - couldn't have said it better myself, I don't go out of the house without them! Usually with Sleeps somewhere in the playlist ☺️
I have been listening to this on my noise cancelling headphones for weeks before I paid closer attention to all the lyrics haha
Along with Architects : Make Metalcore Great Again
i dont think someone needs to make it great again. Last Wage War album was the best metalcore album ever imo
Deadweight was awesome. Do you know Currents and Polaris? They rock hard as well
There is also Crystal Lake. Listen to "The Circle" by them.. it's one of my favourite songs right now.
@@iRecord100 yeah i know them, seeing them next month as support for bury tomorrow
The last Wage War album wasn't even their best album.
I got the privilege of seeing these guys live back in 2019 iirc, and before the show i messaged them on instagram and commented on their page excessively that i wanted this song to be played because my plus one to this concert was my dad. My dad loves this song specifically, and im not sure if they already had it on their setlist or if my comments made an impact but this song was played that night. My dad went apeshit!!! It was such an awesome experience for us both. To make a long story short my dad passed away in late 2021. This song never fails to bring back the memory of 16 year old me and my 50 something year old dad having the time of our lives at that show, and to this day it is one of my most cherished memories with him. He had a huge passion for music. The entire drive home he kept geeking out about how he got to hold Loz’s “sweaty leg” when he stood on the crowd. His passing was painful but that memory NEVER fails to put a smile on my face 😂 So thank you guys for making memories and changing lives ❤
3:29 I love it how his hands are bloody and wide open. Also, the way you presented the health care system is on point, filled with tired doctors, dying patients, panic and not knowing what to do. And the black droplet in the aquarium in front of a child´s face as a way to show the oil spills in the oceans that we will leave to our kids to take care of. And switching the channel on the TV to "avoid" bad news. I mean, this whole video is so well thought through and goes well with the lyrics. I loved it! one of the best songs I have heard all year
BFMV and Parkway Drive: "Metalcore has become stale"
WSS and Architects: *clear throughts*
Edit: I didn't mean to disrespect any of the bands it's actually on the opposite I love all of these bands, but BFMV and PWD have moved away from Metalcore with their latest albums and even stated that (which is totally fine even though I prefer BFMV being more Metal than generic Hard Rock)
Bfmv aren't metalcore, bfmv are heavy metal
@@WednesdayAddams_Goth heeeeeavy meeeeetal lol
Santuario Oscuro they are melodic metalcore
Architects : clears throat.. And BLEGHSS
@@noiro5738 no, bfmv no are metalcore melodic, bfmv are heavy metal, alone are metalcore firts cd
music ain't getting any better than this
ngl i wasnt looking for this but im glad i found it
I absolute love the backingtracks! Beast of a song.
Sean is so fuckin underrated, he's a guitar beast and his style is unique, it can be heavy af and then he slaps you with some beautiful melodic riffs! Plus these guys and Architects are getting better and better, it's unbelievable! Stoked for both albums and to see them live
This may seem a little jumbled but it's just my initial thoughts. In my honest opinion, this is great. I know many people are saying this isn't as nuanced as their previous work, and at first I agreed with that. However, after repeated listens you begin to catch things that you didn't before. That's how WSS does it. They've found a way keep their own sound fresh, while still sounding like themselves.
I believe they're one of the few bands keeping metal fresh and new. In my opinion, this has the same angsty aggressive hardcore/metalcore fusion of their earlier work, and maybe even a little more aggressive than You Are We. But damn those lyrics are relatable for me. Not anti-social, just anti-bullshit. And THANK FUCK FOR HEADPHONES!
Oooh so deep bro....
that's the most gracious headbanging i've ever seen
Getting that Disturbed vibe from the intro! This is sooo good!!
The Metal version of “This Is America” video
I would say "We Made an America" by The Fever 333 would be a bit closer.
@@walkerfrommb I was thinking more Alexisonfire/Moneen - Passing Out In America/Accidents Are on Purpose :)
@@STUDIO7Collectibles ah good call bud!
Though they are Britishers. So you can fuck off
Except this is a good song by an artist who had something to say. This Is America is vague and lacks depth that way people can listen to it and think that they have some kind of refined political opinion when in reality it's just being spoon-fed by a rich rapper who is just a puppet of his record label
Seriously guys don’t stop this made my month dig your noise
"Just leave it alone
My head's about to explode
So sick of the same sound syndrome
Thank fuck for headphones"
That's so perfect.
0:46 "I won't be nervous"
One album later: "I'm neeeervouusss!!" XDD
LOVE this video... and I couldn't be happier with the track lads. This album is gonna be amazing, calling it now. :D
Those guitars and drums... PERFECT
Saw these guys open for Architects recently. They have so much energy on stage and still sound amazing.
Michael Hannah Loz did a trust fall into our crowd in Worcester and I got to surf him twice more xD
Ooooh!! Que grandioso video! Me dejó asombrada, felicitaciones! La canción, la letra , todo! Es lo que se vive, lo que sucede actualmente.Grandiosa produción, impecable como siempre. Ustedes son nuestra referencia e inspiración a la hora de producir videoclips. SON GRANDIOSOS!!
Had to listen 3 times accurately:
1st-to taste music
2nd-to consider lyrics
3rd-to watch the video itself
4th - 3:41
(I actually watch from 3:83 to see the doggy))
Yeah, gotta love it when you go 83 seconds in to 3 minutes xD
Esses caras, bicho...sempre surpreendem! Músicas e clipes incríveis!
This is the first time i have seen something of this band but im so impressed.
My God...
Those lyrics are so true.
welcome to the bright modern world
So hyped for the new album!
What a song. You guys keep releasing bangers. Had song of the year last year and could have this year's to.
出だしからアドレナリンえぐい！！！
Que video! que música! que timbre de guitarra! cada vez melhor!
Watched them live,so much energy!
My head took off and has reached the stratosphere. Damn what a song!
We need more songs like these!
i think wss has the only fanbase where fans dont bitch abt changing sound/getting soft but they enjoy the music for what it is. Only if all metalheads were like this..... :((
I see more people complain about people complaining about sound changes than actual complaints about sound changes... give it a rest....
@@godwings101 uhhh not sure if I'll agree
Damn, I think my replay button is getting stuck... Loving this.
Wow this probably the best song I’ve heard all year! Great job guys, great video and message!
First part 0:48 ==> This relates to the idea of "pranks" on social media and how the most important part of anything that happens has to be filmed. Have you ever wondered how all these funny videos, these pranks, these fights, these "the most unexpected things" that we see online are always somehow filmed? You ask yourself...okay mate, why were you filming instead of either helping or being present in the moment. It's cause a lot of these "pranks" or "accidents" are actually planned and just done for the sake of going viral to get a couple likes.
1:21 Not too sure about this part, but I'd say it relates to this obsession that people have of prioritising animals they own over anything and anyone. The pig could also represents all these idiots people idolise online just cause the amount of followers they have. Notice how the pig is the only one eating while the children have got nothing on their plate. And the father is completely okay with that, cause well..he's on his smartphone. What's more important than having his smartphone while eating with the family?
1:43 One of my favorites parts. Showcases how messed our the current education system is. Pay attention to what's on the board, no likes = sadness. This is literally what kids are made to believe these days and that's the driving factor behind all these crazy stunts and that desperation for online fame we see these days among kids. And of course the kids are on their smartphone, not paying a god damn attention to what the teacher says, which is exactly what most students do at schools these days anyway and the teacher could care less...she's getting paid either way
1:58 relates to how normalised it has become to do drugs openly these days. Drugs are not directly shown in the video but I'm pretty sure that was the idea behind it. Anything that is addictive. The irony in this part of the video is that it's a nurse supplying those drugs, and of course one of those addicting things is a smartphone, cause well who isn't addicted to int these days?
2:03 to 2:24 is dramatic but very true. You see a family at home in front of a TV that is switched on but they're all heavily focused on their smartphones. I honestly can't remember the last time I switched on a TV to actually watch it, unless I am playing games. Smartphones are the new TV. They are the new cancer. Keep in mind the girl is in front of an aquarium with blood in t, there's a robbery going on outside but they're not paying attention to anything else other than their cellphone. Cause either way, through the smartphones, they'll find out later on about all these bad things that happened right around them. This is actually a follow up to "Brainwashed" cause in Brainwashed, the cancer was what the media was telling us on TV. We've now shifted to the cancer that social media has turned into.
2:42 to me relates to the state of people who see through the bullshit and who try to speak up, like maybe you, like maybe me. Once you understand the entire madness that social media has become, even when you try to get out of it, you have politicians or "anyone in higher power" for that matter that finds a way to 'get you out of the system' while smiling and keep preaching they're doing it for a greater cause (classic WSS song theme btw). Notice how right before the politicians appear on screen, you have them all on the bed complaining about it and you have a 'so what' that pops up on the screen, meaning "Well you preach about all this struggle...so what"
3:38 for me is the summary of the whole video and the whole vibe of the song. The point isn't that they're anti- social. Social media has got its positive points. Without social media, they couldn't be independent, we wouldn't have known about many other bands, you wouldn't have met some of your friends. The point is they're against the bullshit that it comes with that people try to "normalise" these days. Like how we barely have any real interactions these days and all of it happens through social media and has to be validated through likes and repost.
Awesome video and killer riffs by the way.
I have to disagree on the pig part. It's getting shot at the end of the scene so I would assume it is a comment about consumerism and animal slaughter. I could be wrong tho
@@tombuchborn I see it as a combination of both of your ideas: we put animals on a pedestal and often care for their lives more than humans but at the same time we have no problem with consuming animals
@@annaheinonen6887 i think you're right, because why a pig and not a dog? exactly! i agree with you
@@annaheinonen6887 brilliant mate

3:04 always gets me when i think someone message me

Soundtrack perfecto para seguir marchando. Chile despertó!!
The music post-generic seems to be awesome too !! I can't wait for this new album !
I want you come to Japan!
I want you do a live show with Crystal Lake!
3:44 I've never heard anyone use that sound before for a breakdown but I dig it!
The riff at the start is what heaven looks like
Já estava com saudades

This is like watching my dreams every time I sleep..good music 👍
This band can do no wrong! Can't wait for the new record bois! 🤘
"you want the truth or you want to assume it?"
wow. *slow clapping* that is the most powerful shit i have ever yet heard that speaks for our generation.
I have´t words to explain how I feel with this video, is simply magnificent
I just found these guys like a couple of days ago and first song they became my favorite rock band
What a great song! And that video is perfect, too. I love it, when the visuals are telling a story or giving a message instead of just showing the band "playing" the song all alone in a decrepit factory hall.
3:17 - 3:31 wyd while she sleeps, giving me all the goosebumps?
