One of the best bands out there… found them accidentally… like finding gold… they deserve a world tour… I WANT MORE! I have every album, and every album is fantastic!!!
Kobra and the Lotus - You Don't Know lyrics: Did you ever think for a second I'm only human too? You have no perception of all the struggles that I have been through Listening to the nothingness I'm hearing while I watch your lips move If you really knew me, You'd think twice about creating my truth I'm sick and tired of feeling my face on fire When you don't know what you're talking about You don't know what it's like to be me No, you don't know what it's like to be me You are on the outside Always looking in but never asking questions Could it be that you won't understand That we're both born of innocence? Empty conversations We know nothing of each other's solitude You don't the reasons that played me, And I don't know you I'm sick and tired of feeling my faith expire In the lies we keep on telling ourselves You don't know what it's like to be me No, you don't know what it's like to be me You don't know what it's like to be me (Don't know me, you really don't know me) No, you don't know what it's like to be me (There isn't a story ?) And you hear the sound of me breaking down When the judgment calls I'm here against a wall No, you don't know You don't know what it's like, What it's like to be me
I'm a 46-yo "Rock Dad" that appears "ordinary". But, the defeat of Booze led to me Leading into the rest of life with Rock/Metal as my "Church Music". Nothing against church, but here I feel less Deception. No other style of Music is so brutally Honest. *Do you think Rock is made up of the More Open-minded writers?
As a recently new Kobra and The Lotus fan, I have to say that Kobra's vocals are very unmatched when it comes to her tone, style, and deliverance. She has her own unique sound that really gives the already driving riffs the extra push they need! Extremely impressed with this band!
This song really hits home i can relate to the lyrics. I have been a quadriplegic for about 7 years. Its the toughest thing i have ever endured yet. Its been an emotional, mental and spiritual roller coaster. I constantly think about the many people who have it tougher than me. There is always someone that is going through a tougher situation than the one you may currently be in. Thats why i believe its important to be kind to strangers because you have no idea what hell they may be going through
Her vocals have really grown. I love it. As far as those who say it’s “not metal,” I’ll just point out that it sounds a LOT like Queensryche. Which, last I checked, was still metal. In fact, it was metal before today’s metal was metal. My generation turned metal into a force to be reckoned with. I can’t begin to describe the feeling of hearing “The Lady Wore Black” for the first time. Metal. It doesn’t have to be 1000 mph all the time. And there’s definitely a place for solid vocals by someone who can sing. Ask Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, or the ghost of Ronny James Dio.
interesting, b/c as an American, the first band I thought of was...Nightwish in the Tarja Turunen days. I may also recommend the band Within Temptation. Personally I like their songs What About Us, Dangerous, and Faster, but they aren't as metal as this. You may prefer some of their others.
I agree with your opinion. Metal is incredibly varied, I believe the most varied genre in music today. And as we have seen throughout the formative years, it has evolved dramatically. One can love more than one type of Metal.
FUCKIN' THANK YOU, I'm 54 now, and i remenber metal befor the COOKIE MONSTER started joining bands, when this : #, was still the "number symbol" or"pound sign ", not the FUCKIN' hash tag, i let some young kid (about 16 or so), listen to my stuff i recorded, and he was like , cool, so you're like "BLACKENED DEATH METAL" ?, and i just kinda looked at him sorta' puzzeled , and said , ya , i supose so ?????, there weren't 173 different styles of metal , just levels of heavy , from RATT to DIO to PRIEST & QUEENSRYCHE , to like a whole different thing like CELTIC FROST & VENOM,, now everything has to be extreme or the younguns' think it aint' metal,, i could try to play madonna and it would still sound like slayer, it's just how i play, my point is it's still heavy metal , fuckin' all of it
Wer an dieser Band was auszusetzen hat sollte dringend ein paar Ärzte aussuchen z.B. Ohrenarzt, Augenarzt, Psychiater und sich schon mal um seine Beerdigung kümmern...
what you call chaos in the world could in fact well be orchestrated to manipulate the mass and slolwly change the system think about how it was back in 2001 and now. So it's aint chaos what you see in the world but more like a ordered situation.
This band is crazy underrated and have her on my best female vocalist list with Emmanuel and Sharon from serenia and within temptation. Floor is probably my favorite but that's a different topic all together
Just saw this band in concert in Watertown NY. Never heard of them before. Where the hell have I been? These guys are awesome. High energy performance, great music. Will definitely see them again
This band have impressed me for some years now and happy to have seen them live,and with this new album they are climbing even higher! And the voice of Kobra! Just wow! :) The new album is perfect!
You're right about that 👍! She sounds a lot like Ann Wilson, the lead singer from heart who sang the song "Barracuda". These guys are one of my favorite hard rock bands. I've got this one song on a playlist. This is a bad ass band! ✌️
this was outside of my comfort zone for music that being said this was just the right amount harmony in vocals and rock that moves you. keep it going and give your heart you sound great wish i had heard this when it came out awesome jam
Blistering guitars Pounding rhythms Haunting vocal melodies. .. Take me on a sonic journey, leading me out from the darkness And into the light. ... Best Most Powerful Album...AMAZING!!!!
Radio, at least down here in SW FLORIDA, doesn't play Power Metal.....until last night when I heard this band for the 1st time. I immediately called up the DJ to find out who this band was and where they were from. I was shocked to learn CANADA!!! I've been in to European Power Metal Bands like Primal Fear, Stratavarious among many others. It's only taken 15 years for this kind if REAL METAL to hit the Airwaves here and hopefully all across the United States!!!! This band RULES. Let's hope, at least for us TRUE METAL FANS, bands like KATL, Primal Fear and others start catching on and BRING METAL BACK!!!
When Napalm signed up these guys I thought Kobra was another pretty girl fronting another metal band just because it's popular. Having seen them live, I can say that Kobra is the real deal. I hope these guys get more positive attention in the future.
Saw them last night, got my ass kicked by their power and the brilliant performance and did not regret a minute. And super nice, after the show they had to get trough the venue to walk to the bus and they were probably stopped by 20-25 people for pics and chats and they did them all without even once hesitating or making a face. Super impressed by them, cant wait to see them again
Man these guys are so good, nominated for a Juno award this year! Base player sponsored by Gibson I think and guitar player has some vids teaching guitar that are awesome! Serious players in the industry, keep up the awesome guys!
Great Canadian band trying to bring Metal back to North America.....one thing I've always loved about Kobra Paige's vocals is she is incredibly clean and clear, I've never had to look up anything in her lyrics before as you can always understand the words she's singing
I have all of their CD's. They are an excellent band making quality metal. That's all I need to say. Kobra is an awesome singer and performer with a fantastic voice. The fact that she's beautiful is definitely a plus, but her talent is undeniable.
Princess Seraphim listen to oceans of slumber you will love them great female vocals great band all of them the rest are male great skill this is nice they are better
F*** ME! That's a damn power ballad right there! Never heard of you guys before today, but Napalm doesn't sign shit bands, so well done. I'm going to following you closely from now on. Damn lead singer is SUPER MODEL HOT!
I'd really love to hear this performed as a duet. I keep picturing this song as an argument between two people in a tempestuous relationship who know each other better than either one would like to admit.
They've upped their game a great deal since then. I have a preview copy of the new album and it is by far their best. They definitely surprised me, and I'm already looking forward to Pt II.
I thought it was July 2015. I took my 7 year old kids to that show. My kids first concert. They loved it. Def Leppard did far better than I expected. But Kobra Paige really rocked it live. She is both gorgeous and very talented.
It was 2014 for me in July even I know because so many things happened that year. 1st I graduated High School, 2nd KISS got into the Hall of Fame, and 3rd this was actually my first concert ever.
Well sure enough I had to look it up. It was July 5th, 2014 at the Verizon Wireless in Irvine California. That kicks ass. I wanted to get my kids in their first show when they were young. I bought some expensive floor seats over looking everyone so they wouldn't miss anything. I took them to see Behemoth last year.
I am going through a hard trauma time, and in a place of healing. This got me in my soul, RIGHT where I Need It right Now Girl 🙏🏼🤘🏼 I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU 💗👩⚕️😍🖤 💜 My Favorite 💜 Happy Healing 💚🧡💛😇💝🥁

Kobra and the Lotus - You Don't Know lyrics:
Did you ever think for a second
I'm only human too?
You have no perception of all the struggles
that I have been through
Listening to the nothingness
I'm hearing while I watch your lips move
If you really knew me,
You'd think twice about creating my truth
I'm sick and tired of feeling my face on fire
When you don't know what you're talking about
You don't know what it's like to be me
No, you don't know what it's like to be me
You are on the outside
Always looking in but never asking questions
Could it be that you won't understand
That we're both born of innocence?
Empty conversations
We know nothing of each other's solitude
You don't the reasons that played me,
And I don't know you
I'm sick and tired of feeling my faith expire
In the lies we keep on telling ourselves
You don't know what it's like to be me
No, you don't know what it's like to be me
You don't know what it's like to be me
(Don't know me, you really don't know me)
No, you don't know what it's like to be me
(There isn't a story ?)
And you hear the sound of me breaking down
When the judgment calls
I'm here against a wall
No, you don't know
You don't know what it's like,
What it's like to be me
Yeah, I didn't know the lyrics
Glad you posted the lyrics.Thanks
Thank you... hail hydra...
Thx
Great band ,just found on TH-cam im 56 y old metalhead

51 year old who has enjoyed metal almost all my life but I also enjoy many other genre's.

The way she drags out her voice... I love it. Kobra is out of this world
First time coming across this band! I am in love with her voice and their sound! So glad I found them!
Same just now.
This song should be all over the radio! It rocks!
I heard it on the radio today actually.
As a recently new Kobra and The Lotus fan, I have to say that Kobra's vocals are very unmatched when it comes to her tone, style, and deliverance. She has her own unique sound that really gives the already driving riffs the extra push they need! Extremely impressed with this band!
Sam Grinter me too I'm. a new fan
Fully agree.
I just keep coming back to hear this masterpiece....such an excellent song
No idea who they are.
TH-cam recommended it.
But I love it.

Even though I'm 5 years late ...this is music I like to call home! This is a good song 🔥
Same here
Same here
Greetings from India
Impressive. Love her voice. Lyrics actually make sense. Band is really good. Simply impressive.
You are a creative woman Kobra 👏👏🎧
It's really nice to see that good music still persists, despite all the chaos in the world right now
what you call chaos in the world could in fact well be orchestrated to manipulate the mass and slolwly change the system think about how it was back in 2001 and now. So it's aint chaos what you see in the world but more like a ordered situation.
This band is crazy underrated and have her on my best female vocalist list with Emmanuel and Sharon from serenia and within temptation. Floor is probably my favorite but that's a different topic all together

INSTANT FAN HERE !!!! WOW... Clean vocals ... powerful music...
Wow. The lady can actually sing. Never heard of this band before, i think i became a fan.
She is fucking awesome.
There are 2 types of men:
1 - Those who fall in love with her at first sight
2 - Gays
Me too! Recommended it by TH-cam! Hahahaha it sounds sooo goooood!!!
You're right about that 👍!
She sounds a lot like Ann Wilson, the lead singer from heart who sang the song "Barracuda".
These guys are one of my favorite hard rock bands.
I've got this one song on a playlist. This is a bad ass band! ✌️
you think this is good u should hear black velvet from them its fucking awesome
Okay. Just heard them for the first time just now…count me in a s a huge fan!
Uplifting and profoundly relatable. Your music was precisely what I needed right now, thank you so much!
this was outside of my comfort zone for music that being said this was just the right amount harmony in vocals and rock that moves you. keep it going and give your heart you sound great wish i had heard this when it came out awesome jam
Very powerful messages in everything they sing. this band really has something to say!
Nice voice❤️
Blistering guitars
Pounding rhythms
Haunting vocal melodies. ..
Take me on a sonic journey, leading me out from the darkness
And into the light. ...
Best Most Powerful Album...AMAZING!!!!
Stunning voice
Just saw them at the Masquerade in Atlanta, Awesome Show.
I am sending love to you, KOBRA AND THE LOTUS. You are guys are Canadian but you rock.

Mit abstand die beste Dame und der beste Song seit Jahren
Pretty damn awesome. I like her look & their sound is amazing
Best female rock vocalist I’ve heard in a long time!!! Keep going girl! Tour around Louisiana....and I’m there!!
My recommendation: Null positiv "Friss dich auf". Similar style and great vocals too.
Very good, my first time hearing them. I'm very impressed, good melodies, nice riffs.
This song rocks she has a unique and good voice and they jam
This is my first time hearing about them and their music and I have to say that I love it and the vibes from their music video 😮🤯
i heard them singing in "beyond the black" concert !
so that's why i'm here
great band !!
i heard them from you that's why im here ! great band indeed
i dont know who said it ! but u got it , u definitely got it
thanks door

Hobeer they toured with kiss few years ago.....
Saw them last night, got my ass kicked by their power and the brilliant performance and did not regret a minute.

Tight band with authentic talent. I like the whole basement club thing as well. New fan.

Fantastic song and video, crank it up.

I like this band and will support them.
Só o Amor Constrói 🇧🇷
Brilliant band and fantastic video ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great Canadian band trying to bring Metal back to North America.....one thing I've always loved about Kobra Paige's vocals is she is incredibly clean and clear, I've never had to look up anything in her lyrics before as you can always understand the words she's singing
I'm 50 i never heard of this group i loved it the first i listened to it
My fav "female-led-Disturbed" band. Hard to believe this is 5 years old already. . . this track has aged well.
Beautiful and talented rock on
I have all of their CD's. They are an excellent band making quality metal. That's all I need to say. Kobra is an awesome singer and performer with a fantastic voice. The fact that she's beautiful is definitely a plus, but her talent is undeniable.
Paige is one of those voices that can sing as well as scream. Oh and she looks fantastic 😊
A band that has a beautiful front woman but doesn't solely focus on her but the whole group, finally ❤️
Princess Seraphim listen to oceans of slumber you will love them great female vocals great band all of them the rest are male great skill this is nice they are better
Allen Saunders I just saw this comment. I’ve heard of them but never gave them a chance. I’ll check them out!
Allen Saunders I listened to them. They’re pretty different so I would say they’re better but I did quite enjoy them!
Jaming
love it! one of the best bands in the last 10 years
Man listen to Arch Enemy, Halestorm. You will be blown away.
Actual talent and individuality. Instead of cookie cutter 'urban' bullshit. Thank you
I love the song and the band!!!!
Very well put together and delivered. Totally sellable song that covers several genre's.
Wow, she's actually singing not growling or screaming!
Beautiful song... Nostalgia...Thank you very, very much!
God damn... Kobra, you always surprised me with your voice, and Jasio is awesome like everytime. One of the best band ever.
Very nice. Got here through a playlist. Nice voice. Very good rhythms. Just nice.
I've smashed the like button after 32 seconds... Haven't change my mind! Like it!
This band is great. I love this metal group. Very cool.
napalm records never disappoints... just wow!!! sick sh*t...
wow these guys are great
F*** ME! That's a damn power ballad right there! Never heard of you guys before today, but Napalm doesn't sign shit bands, so well done. I'm going to following you closely from now on. Damn lead singer is SUPER MODEL HOT!
Discovered them a couple years ago. Love the progression of this band!

Tell it like it is ! Very powerful and impressive !
IM SPEECHLESS!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!! #kobrapaigearmy
really like the mature sound! not trying to hard in any certain direction. confidence...
like it!!! awesome voice.. and band !!! and so beatiful :)
I'd really love to hear this performed as a duet. I keep picturing this song as an argument between two people in a tempestuous relationship who know each other better than either one would like to admit.
Holy shit that song and video was fucking amazing I am now a fan of this band I just watched the 6 times in a row!!
William Griffin II me too ! 😂
yessss.... see you at Marseille (france) on 05th october...
I saw them open for KISS/Def Leppard 3 years ago pretty good but never really looked into them maybe I should now.
They've upped their game a great deal since then. I have a preview copy of the new album and it is by far their best. They definitely surprised me, and I'm already looking forward to Pt II.
I thought it was July 2015. I took my 7 year old kids to that show. My kids first concert. They loved it. Def Leppard did far better than I expected. But Kobra Paige really rocked it live. She is both gorgeous and very talented.

Awesome.....you are exceptional and excepted!
I am going through a hard trauma time, and in a place of healing. This got me in my soul, RIGHT where I Need It right Now Girl 🙏🏼🤘🏼
I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU 💗👩⚕️😍🖤
💜 My Favorite 💜
Happy Healing 💚🧡💛😇💝🥁
Thus song rates......one of thebest I've heard
II saw the band live last night in Vienna. It was a great concert. Especially this song gave me goose bumps! Such a cool chorus...
"You don't know what it's like to be May"
lol,same here, had to check lyrics, actualy "be me" sounds like bay may
dude420face
my bDayst is in MAY
Great Voice
This is so much emotional yes. Bingo.
great band and the singer is pretty and sincere
I listened for first time and let me say: That's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooow Pure - Fu c k ing - Metal!!!
I agree, they are badass! The lead singer sounds a bit like Ann Wilson from Heart. Remember the song "Barracuda"?
These guys (kobra and the lotus) are one of my favs! 😊✌️
Just for laughs, here is a link for "Barracuda";
th-cam.com/video/1iLUzZxeLOc/w-d-xo.html
Oh and another note, Kobra Paige, the lead singer of Kobra and the Lotus does have a slightly deeper voice than in Wilson, but it's very similar.
They've got a very similar style, as well.
BOOOOOMMMM,WTF Heavy Metall
Good start, rest was a bit too generic.
I'll follow around and see how the band develop still.
Well before this they released 2 successful albums and 1 brilliant covers EP. But I’m glad that you’ll be watching their progress... whoever you are.
@Venetta Thomas you seem to have misread my comment, he said “good start” but they’re not a new band.
Went to them in Bismarck ND a few years ago love this band
This Song Lights Me Up! I like it! A Lot. It could be the Blonde, I think.
Now I gotta press My Teeth against a Window sill thank you very much.
I'm liking the number of wolf-themed avatars in this section :)
هیفاوهبی
Great band, they have everything nailed down right. Kobra is a rock goddess.
wow...now iam a fan😂😂😍
great music the text is such wow text is just saying how i feel me in this world
+ Extremely attractive woman, wonderful vocals.
- Blan instrumentation and lyrics. Very commercial.
So...
why this was never a hit on the radio is beyond me.
I feel like I'm enjoying this song more than I should. Stupid early 2000s sounding music. dammit. lol
