My English accent has improved greatly ever since I have started listening to these guys.

still get fucking chills when it transitions into Meltdown. I love this band so god damn much.
thank you, Rou, for being such a fantastic person to admire. I'll never forget the lessons learned throughout all of your music.
The lesson in system is don’t build houses on cliffs
But seriously great son (wont let me edit the comment ffs)
*song (I’m dyslexic ok)
Still chilling with transition in 2023 xD
@@carterthegoat but damn, a house on a cliff looks outstanding
10 years later babyyyy
Yes everyone needs to listen to songs like this now.
agreed
True
. мфвв
It wasn't back then, but I fear it's too late now.
They should, but I feel like a lot of ignorant people will think this is just anarchist and dismiss it because its not what conforms to their understanding of the world. And would also most likely not understand the nuances within the song.
That transition was actually amazing
LYRICS:
There was a house in a field on the side of a cliff
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth
So they ignore the warnings from the ships in the docks
Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks (x2)
Nothing can fix the building's flawed foundation
The scaffolding and stilts were the laws and legislation
This house was doomed, but they didn't care
They'd invested in the system that was beyond repair
When I was little
I dressed up as an astronaut, and explored outer-space
I dressed up as a superhero, and ran about the place
I dressed up as a fireman, and rescued those in need
I dressed up as a doctor, and cured every disease
It was crystal clear to me back then that the only problems that I could face
Would be the same problems that affect us all
But of course this sense of common existence was sucked out of me in an instance
As if from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl
So this an exciting time, to be alive
Our generation's gotta fight, to survive
It's in your hands now, this future!
Our future, Our future!
It's your future
Ohhhhhhh
MELTDOWN:
This is 'gonna change everything (x3)
System meltdown, meltdown, meltdown, meltdown
Stand up
How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
It's not too late, it's not too late
(x3)
Stand up!
Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand
Inside this sick foundation
We've had the realisation
Inside this sick foundation
We've had the revelation
Fuck all borders and fuck all boundaries
Fuck all flags and fuck nationalities
You've gotta give us a chance before we reach our
System meltdown, meltdown, meltdown, meltdown
Stand up
How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive
It's not too late, it's not too late
(x3)
Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick
Inside this sick foundation
We've had the realisation
Inside this sick foundation
We've had the revelation
We begin to learn to smile again
Start to walk that extra mile again
Cos I know that WE ARE ONE!
It's not too late, it's not too late
Stand up
It's not too late, it's not too late
Fear begins to vanish when we realise
That countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick!
I just had to look up the lyrics because in one part I couldn't tell that they were saying flags. Lol I was suddenly worried about this song that I love
Enter Shikari make me want to go out and do something to change the world, it's like they aren't just a band they are people trying to tell us how everyone can help and you aren't insignificant
Bro this hit hard in 2012 now it's 2023 and I'm 29 and cant believe just how sick this foundation is. Things are about to collaps. Let it burn and purify the grounds and let us rebuild on them!
Countries are just lines drawn in the sand with a stick. One of the most powerful things I've heard by this group that has helped me immensely.
@@Sxcheschka Hell yeah. Also when he hit that "fuck all borders and fuck all boundaries! Fuck all flags and fuck nationalities!" That gave me chills.
@@Joshuar9065 To quote Thomas Paine, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America said, "The world is my country, and to do good my religion."
Beautiful 🖤👁️🗨️🔥🤘
who is "us"? when it all collapses you and me wont be there to rebuild shit
still obsessed with this! ES for life
I had no idea who they were until my friend wore one of their shirts. I thought it looked cool, came home, listened to "...Meltdown" and fell in fucking love! They kick major ass!
Indeed, majors and other politicians are usually their lyrical targets! There's nothing like a good ol' Shikari song
This song is more relevant now than ever
This song is so much like a Metal Gear Rising boss theme stylistically and lyrically. I love blasting it while fighting Armstrong on the hardest difficulty.
Probably uploaded it because all the fans that wanted the album will have already bought it, so putting it on youtube can help more people come across the album that wouldn't have before and then they may want to buy it themselves. The more people listening to Shikari the better!
This song has aged very well. Still very relevant
Meltdown of the financial system has finally arrived, 10 years before the album came out
11yrs later. Im still here 🫶🙌
2:17 Dem Chills Down my spine!!
Masterpiece of a song
Oh how relevant this song is for us now.. won't stop coming back to this whole anthem of an album.
Just saw these guys live, and it ROCKED. They started with this song, and the pits exploded :)
BEST SONG EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
this is two songs
@@chillandrelax9896 you know what they meant
Rise Records has every songs of every band it has ever signed on its channel.. Same for Sumerian Records.. And.. well.. Almost all. But still buying this stuff
Best album ever.
6 years on and only 15 dislikes... thats when you know its a banger
8 Year and 30 Dislikes....
Times gettin harder these Days.
10 years and no dislikes lol
2012, still feels new to me, see you guys in August Lowlands. YOU BETTER ROCK MY SOCKS OFF!
They did it 2012, and yesterday they did it again :)
2017 now, still feels like it wasn't long ago this was released 👍
Will be blasting this out all day tomorrow :)
No, my favourite band can not be this awesome... but it clearly gets awesoming constantly.
Chills......................

goosebumps.....allways
i love you enter shikari
wow, this is so anti-system
wicked
Is it?
fuckin ayyy
These lyrics have became so relevant again. Good old Theresa
I thought I was the only one who's been feeling this song lately but I'm glad I'm really not
@@CBLK159 it just shows that society never really changes. There's always a new issue that everyone ignores
@@Blastingplane Boris, modi, Trump, treadeau, all cults of personality tell us that the waves on,the rocks are a,myth
yes
Amazing opener at the Ritz.
The "Cornerstone" is coming!
Seeing this live melted my fucking brain it was amaze balls!!
What is that synth pad used in the very beginning? I hear it a lot in Shikari songs and it sounds incredible to me
It sounds like a simple string synth with the bottom end taken out and a tape simulator on it. High release aswell.
Gives progressive rock a new meaning \m/
ROLL ON DECEMBER!
To give people that have yet to get the album to have a taster of the album to boost sales..
Yeahhhhhhhhhh
I wish they used that sound from the very beginning of the song in some of their newer albums
They have! Look at the beginning of their live set at Reading Festival in 2014.
They had used it in some previous albums, too.
@@chirripitiflauticoid They just brought it back in their new song 'Reprise 3' as well 😊
Brilliant message from an awesome band.
To remind me to buy tickets. I haven't done that yet.
Bring on tonight
Banging song! Enter Shikari have improved in 2020 and 2012 I started to listen to them in 2020 so I was like MUM! DAD! BUY ME AN ENTER SHIKARI ALBUM NOW!
Aye
hatfield? those pits were mental nearly lost my shoe... yeah that would've been bad
They're not getting money from youtube though, they haven't got any ads on the videos. So they're probably just doing this so anyone who hasn't actually got the album can get a lower quality version.
"Emergency Frequency".
Wow, they became drastically better than they were in their emo phase!
Uploading the album in full? Seems odd, but I suppose they'd prefer get more views on the official channel than have people constantly searching for illegal versions elsewhere on TH-cam.
I come from the future, uploading full albums for free (streaming) has become the most way of consuming music nowadays. Artist get their benefits for their views, concerts and merchandising products. It's not the end of the world, just the consumer habits have changed :)
Being engish and stuff helps me alot :)
*a lot
this makes me feel that being english is an advantage somehow
im just gucci kid IKR
what an edgy comment
im just gucci kid I bet you're not thinking that right now haha
You have so many advantages being english.
Im from Austria and i dont understand the meaning of a single song by pure listening.
I wish i was born in england so i can understand every song by the first time i hear them
i feel the same dude
Who's here in 2020-2021?
Astronauts, doctors and super heroes. We are all in this song
We do?
I think they're just real musicians like 30 seconds to mars and linkin park who uploaded all their stuff too i think :p
and I think they just know that every fan will come to their concerts too.
80.2%
Whoever uploaded this fucked up the badass intro going into the song. Great job, now my immersion is ruined.
2:20 i just came in my pants
... and again at 3:40
@Dan Denison. I'm English. We fucking rule...
*than
A bit dodgy on the jump to Meltdown there... :P
lovely song the drop it feels like a sign saying go away idiot
sounds very english :)
good sound
BMB buchanan music blogger facebook
System meltdown, meltdown, meltdown...
This could be a boss song in Metal Gear Rising
Because they may as well collect money from youtube views on their album rather than people uploading it to their channel instead. Some people are content with youtubes shitty quality.
If the EU ever get the idea to update our anthem, and if they asked Europeans for propositions, I'd start a campaign to use this 2 songs combined.

Theresa May

Your a tripper, of course they want money.
Terabrite!
This is garbage! The old stuff was better.
Hell no!
Hell yeah this is shit!
Devin Marquez
Matter of taste.
Devin Marquez Honestly.. I feel like all of their new stuff is kinda meh, then after listening to it a few times I start to like it more than their older stuff.
I grew up with their old music and now when I listen to this.... I dont like it.
