Lyrics It's 3AM And I am laying wide-awake And I can't sleep for the noise inside my head The world vibrating With a cruel cacophony Flooded with the thoughts my mind has bled The restless furor Of a thousand racing thoughts Swarms around me like a vulture circles prey In the darkness No one else can hear a sound But I am deafened by this ceaseless disarray I could scream myself to sleep If it would shatter the illusion But I can't give in to this 'Cause it's the noise that makes me human Waking life Like a movie on a screen Running backwards as the film starts to unthread A wall of violence Bounding forward through the peace With no regard for what might lie ahead An infestation Of arbitrary thought Washes over me in paralyzing waves My defenses Battered by the driving storm Isolated - waiting to be saved I could scream myself to sleep If it would shatter the illusion But I can't give in to this 'Cause it's the noise that makes me human It's much too late And I am slowly losing ground A prisoner to the noise inside my head Disconnected I am trapped within myself Held captive by a tide that never ebbs I could scream myself to sleep If it would shatter the illusion But I can't give in to this 'Cause it's the noise that makes me human
Though, "Over and Out" is an awesome track and I'm sure that you could listen to one song, before bed (peer pressure). "Darkflow" is also a really wonderful song. :P
Love this song. It relates to my life 100%. Plus this song is a crowd pleaser on the dance floor. Everyone will be dancing/stomping to this. Wonderful work Tom!
Tom you are one of few artists I have listened to over the years and you have yet to disappoint me. Keep it up mate! Hope to see you in San Francisco soon!
Amazing song, i'm showing all my friends. I look forward to hopefully seeing you live again when you tour the US this fall! Saw you last live year, and got bought your newest album and got it autographed! Been a huge fan since 2005. You have gotten me through some of the hardest parts of my life, and i would like to say I wouldn't be the person i am today without you!
one of the best artists ive ever heard . tom its your sound and words that makes all the dark places in my mind to shine and to keep creating my sounds no matter little followers i have. youre music is underrated but so beyond the gift of songwriting i hope one day we can meet in person bro. your someone i look up to. much love
This is my favorite song off the new album!! I saw you last year at the El Corozan. Also I'm the top listener for Assemblage 23 on Last.fm apparently, I found out that the other day. Apparently listening to nearly 3,000 A23 tracks is a bit much for some, haha. I haven't even bought your new album yet, I see a few of my internet buddies from Germany listening to your new album already, so jealous. Thanks for uploading these, it seems you made this account just for this perhaps?
following the times is so difficult I want to sing see higher than you, walk my bullet to the line then leap across past you I can't deny it's deep inside no time to question wonder why now let's defy brring
Even though it kinda doesn't make sense, I feel like I can kinda relate to the lyrics because I'm listening to this at exactly 2:43.... "It's 3 am, and I'm lying wide awake." XD
Continuing my last comment, I wasn't aware there was a character input limit. If you have a fan collection of photos or anything once my A23 logo on my arm is done I would love to take a picture for you. It was started but then I was confused on which design to stick with because your logo has two different designs and I am indecisive on which one to do. At this point I can correct what has been done and finish with either design so I have part of the outline right now, haha.
ants can't fight against humans,so I I think secant fight alone against gods!!!! so I can dance because the noize ,maybe gets me back to my human reality.......
Lyrics
It's 3AM
And I am laying wide-awake
And I can't sleep for the noise inside my head
The world vibrating
With a cruel cacophony
Flooded with the thoughts my mind has bled
The restless furor
Of a thousand racing thoughts
Swarms around me like a vulture circles prey
In the darkness
No one else can hear a sound
But I am deafened by this ceaseless disarray
I could scream myself to sleep
If it would shatter the illusion
But I can't give in to this
'Cause it's the noise that makes me human
Waking life
Like a movie on a screen
Running backwards as the film starts to unthread
A wall of violence
Bounding forward through the peace
With no regard for what might lie ahead
An infestation
Of arbitrary thought
Washes over me in paralyzing waves
My defenses
Battered by the driving storm
Isolated - waiting to be saved
I could scream myself to sleep
If it would shatter the illusion
But I can't give in to this
'Cause it's the noise that makes me human
It's much too late
And I am slowly losing ground
A prisoner to the noise inside my head
Disconnected
I am trapped within myself
Held captive by a tide that never ebbs
I could scream myself to sleep
If it would shatter the illusion
But I can't give in to this
'Cause it's the noise that makes me human
Thank you for the lyrics my mystery friend!
lemme rephrase, if depeche mode and KMFDM had a baby it's assemblage 23
LOL
Depeche Mode and Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode having a baby?
@@marsneedstowels They had to try and fix that marriage somehow.

No
Probably the best lyrics to describe anxiety, if I've ever heard them.
I love this song, the beat, the melody...it all resonates in a way that I have no words to describe.
His music is phenomenal; I am never disappointed and there is always a message in the lyrics and sound that speaks to my soul.
Remember this song?
Tom Shear is just a great guy, on stage, on Facebook, in real life. Just, thanks for being born man
I saw Assemblage 23 in concert a long time ago and Tom's voice and presence on stage blew me away so much he overshadowed VNV Nation (the headliners)
Daaaaamn! Assemblage 23 and VNV Nation in one night?!
Fucking awesome! 🤘
❤❤❤
cause it's the noise that makes me human
The noise inside my head is telling me I should get my ass to bed and get some sleep.... "Over and Out" ;).

de lo mejor que he escuchado de assemblage 23
Who in the fuck thumbs downed A23? Drown them.
why bother?
they're already drowning in self-loathing
trolls from denmark maybe...
Proper use of cacophony. Nice.

electronic wizardry at its best !!!
Best industrial music in the world.
Amazing track. Thanks, Tom! And thanks for posting the stems, I'm having a great time working on a remix :)
I like Assemblage 23. Very good stuff.
It is the best music ever thanks
Assemblage23 for making this song 😀😅😅♥️♥️♥️♥️😌
good stuff
Adoro Assemblage 23, é um pena, no Brasil ninguém conhece!
Assemblage never disappoints. Fabulous tune.
Just used it in one of my videos.Glad to did that.That was a great choice :)
This song is the noise inside my head... when ever I am not listening to it :)
Aww this song is well awesome tune and so the beat aswell to be truthfully honest also from Dark Electro aswell 😊😊😊😊😊😊
37 people have no clue what Good music is
for 54 people the noise inside their heads deafens them to anything else
музон-бомба!!!СПАСИБО TOM!!!!
This buries compass and resurrects A23 to a new sound! This is so good! I'm blown away!!
Very pleasing stumble, darker synthpop like Depeche Mode but edgier. Think I'll need to listen to more of these guys.
this track exactly describes how i feel every single day.
It's 3AM
And I am laying wide-awake
And I can’t sleep for the noise inside my head
God damn it, so relateable.
Sehr gut electro!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
jeeeeeyiahhh!! armonik punch!! hits the war imprudence !! hard is hold the blood..........
A23's songs are not only danceable but have such smart lyrics
Fully agree!
Should be called the song inside my head lol. Brilliant :-)
Gg
#1
Futurepop at its best!
My dad love this song so do i
The beginning sounds like an old GBC video game! Can't wait until this actually comes out!
@babylon333 It does remind me of Tom's beginnings. The dark isolated feel. He is back!
I fucking love this
Love it!! Assemblage 23 is back!!!
Story of my life right now.
great track, going to spin this when I DJ for the Goth Halloween Ball in Singapore
if depeche mode went darker
love this music
Its 9:00pm and im waiting for a call feom cast in call... LOL to get the job done... lol
Wtf it's 3am as he sings it XDDD... And I can't sleep! Gotta Dance!😍💀☻💀
Will be spinning this at Nocturna / Noctronica!
I think another fan was born (after listening to this album :)))
word
More awesomeness from A23
Reminds on VNV Nation... 👍
This is my favorite song off the new album!!
I saw you last year at the El Corozan.
Also I'm the top listener for Assemblage 23 on Last.fm apparently,
I found out that the other day.

I haven't even bought your new album yet, I see a few of my internet buddies from
Germany listening to your new album already, so jealous.
Thanks for uploading these, it seems you made this account just for this perhaps?
Please god make it to Salt Lake this year, Tom, come hell and high water ;)
Broken in, it wants me dead, god damn this ^^^
following the times is so difficult I want to sing
see higher than you, walk my bullet to the line then leap across past you
I can't deny it's deep inside no time to question wonder why now let's defy
brring
listening to this at 3am, hehe
Tom. if I didn't have your music...I don't know if I would be alive today. Thank you. I hope some day I could meet you and tell you this in person.
Music can keep you tethered to the world when it's unravelling around you. We all need something to keep is from self destructing.
Incidentally it is 3am right now
Should I buy it now? I think I will buy it now...
This song is even more epic slowed down to 0.75x
Very nice. Tom Shear is the king of synthpop. -Andy Ry Denmark
Even though it kinda doesn't make sense, I feel like I can kinda relate to the lyrics because I'm listening to this at exactly 2:43.... "It's 3 am, and I'm lying wide awake." XD
Posted by Tom Shear, himself. Well... What can I say? I wish girls liked his music more.... FML
omg wait is it tom shear himself? hyped
Is the beginning from another techno track? Anybody knows from which track?
Tom Shear Industrial Action Man

To be fair Spark was a pretty kick ass song.
ants can't fight against humans,so I I think secant fight alone against gods!!!! so I can dance because the noize ,maybe gets me back to my human reality.......
Tom Shear what kind of question is that?
awake me a person
