their lyrics are nothing but pure inspiration and enlightening. if you can understand them ofcourse, if you cant, just listen to the amazing riffs and drumming haha
+Lost Sins Celebration His drumming on any album is insane. My favourite has definitely got to be Rescue And Restore though. the drums were a lot more diverse there. I remember hating this album cause of the drums at first since I found them a bit repetitive but then it grew on me haha
Holy crap, I know right? I was listening to this album on full blast the other day while I was cleaning my house, and I just had to stop since he just went ape crazy with his drums.
Their lyrics aren't very poetic when read alone, but I think the way they are performed is where the lyrics shine. They fit the feel of the music and are quite interpretable. I think that's what matters the most.
yeah after awhile for me metal has become more understandable than a lot of rap lyrics (and im not dissing rap, i like some rap). metal takes an ear. when i hear abr i hear everything he is saying. "You're hurt you're broken that's alright, it makes us who we are." great message, helps me through stressful and difficult days
Loooooooooove this song and more importantly love this band and everything they stand for! Been listening to them since I was in high school 8 years ago lol
I did not "forget" any bands. I wrote this months ago when I only listened to the few that I mentioned. I'm aware today that there are many equally awesome bands, like the ones you mentioned in your comment. I'm sick of people replying to comment I wrote almost a year ago. -_-
This song makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow, make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hypothermia, DIE, go the pearly gate, say wuzzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for Buddha, find him, have him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subjects to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, cry myself to sleep. Wake up.. Repeat.
@sheroMaggot95 As stated by the band as a whole, they are a Christian band that has Christian messages in their songs but they present their Christian beliefs to their crowd "without trying to ram it down their throats."
@freerunner770 I agree, man. My other favorites are For Today, War of Ages, and A Plea For Purging. I love all of those bands, because I'm diffenently going to get use to their music.
@masonandcolour He means that the word of god is not about how nice it looks and seems, it's about the words in it. It's also a reference to thge church as well, going with that same meaning.
"Security isn't glitzy or glamorous, concrete or cohesive. Therein lies the truth." can someone kinda give me the meaning of this part? i cant really grasp it.
the amount of goddamn times i get told a metal song I've listened to for like a year is a Christian song happens honestly too much. don't care really tho. its good fuckin music, and metal Christians arent the ones that judge me based on what they perceive my religion to be.
their lyrics are nothing but pure inspiration and enlightening. if you can understand them ofcourse, if you cant, just listen to the amazing riffs and drumming haha
Matt's drumming on Constellations is absolutely insane.

Pure insane, son. Jesus.
This is the best band that exist.
3:26 where everything starts building up after the breakdown gets me every time. real music. real words. metal.
Pure American Metalcore.
No matter how many times I listen to this song, it always gives me chills by the end. Those lyrics are probably my favorite out of all ABR songs.
Chris Right?? Chills, dude. That end growl is brutal.
Can't wait to see them perform the whole Album !!
One of my favorite breakdowns by these guys.
same here
True, there are plenty of other heavier breakdowns by them but this is just melodically and musically perfect. Love it, son.
I love how it just goes on and on it’s always been so memorable
This Song changed my life. i love jesus through music i got 2 be a christian through this band. Thank you for saving me God.
I hope your journey with him has continued, brother.
2021 Update on your theistic beliefs?
Jesus is awesome ❤

"Don't excuse yourself from life today on the pretense of your past."
Love the quote, son.
Hard.
This song has taught me so many life lessons within the past 5 years. If you have ears to hear, then humble yourself and listen.
Constellations truly is "masterpiece"
God damn, I cannot find the right words to express how much I love these guys. My favorite band!
yeah after awhile for me metal has become more understandable than a lot of rap lyrics (and im not dissing rap, i like some rap). metal takes an ear. when i hear abr i hear everything he is saying. "You're hurt you're broken that's alright, it makes us who we are." great message, helps me through stressful and difficult days
At 2:50 is where I feel like this power surging through my body it sometimes really makes me wish I can release it in one giant burst
+MrChach1ng best part
start powerlifting. This is my maxout song
Just scream
Play an instrument my friend
Pick up the drums
you uploaded this on my birthday, thanks for the gift
You're only 7 years old?
hi wvyy
1:13-2:04 gets me lost in the music everytime, lyrically beautiful, melody, and passion... easily my favorite part of any song i've ever listened to.
i am now obsessed with the drum beat from 2:50 to 3:10 this band has the coolest grooves ever!
I hate this type of music but for some reason i really like these guys!
Loooooooooove this song and more importantly love this band and everything they stand for! Been listening to them since I was in high school 8 years ago lol
the lyrics go deep
Flames raise high in my heart
its like a scream-o sermon!! i love it!
it's like they cant make bad music. ABR is the most talented group of people in the universe.
You've obviously never heard War Of Ages. Js
3:09 I love the guitars
So beautiful.
the break down was beastly as hell
August Burns Red and For Today!
awesome song by a brilliant band!
"dont excuse yourself from today on the pretense of your past"
AHHMAZZINGG
I love this song, ABR is my second favorite Metalcore band, first is As i lay dying.
So glad I bought this album a while back :) it is so perfect!!!!!

Hows 8 years sound?
1st song i heard of this band and i just got there album.
TEXAS IN JULY!!
@GuitariousMaximus as i lay dying is awesome toooo
This is an underrated song.
This song makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow, make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hypothermia, DIE, go the pearly gate, say wuzzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for Buddha, find him, have him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subjects to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, cry myself to sleep. Wake up.. Repeat.
Ingenious
You guys are the best .
"ARE YOU AT YOUR WITS END YEEEEEEEEAAHAHAHAHT? *epic double bass hits*
Passionate!
Throwback
@sheroMaggot95 As stated by the band as a whole, they are a Christian band that has Christian messages in their songs but they present their Christian beliefs to their crowd "without trying to ram it down their throats."
wow!!
@SonofRa47
Not to mention some of the most soul-devouring riffs I've heard from any single band
Love dis
@freerunner770 I agree, man. My other favorites are For Today, War of Ages, and A Plea For Purging. I love all of those bands, because I'm diffenently going to get use to their music.
What ABR has that most bands now a days lack: Passion. That is why their music is so great.
why don't they play this song live more often? such an amazing track.
Taylor Post best one I'm convinced
Perfect.
@masonandcolour He means that the word of god is not about how nice it looks and seems, it's about the words in it. It's also a reference to thge church as well, going with that same meaning.
In my opinion, that music is one of the 3 best of August Burns Red and i just don't know the order
I'm just waiting for them to put out an album as good as Constellations again...
TRUE!!
I agree with this 100%
memorize and after a while you get an ear for it.
double pedal at 1:52 gets me every time.
@136034pcti I would call this metalcore with some progressive aspects. Just because the vocalist screams doesn't mean this is screamo...
@FanCryoshell Never heard of Oh, Sleeper till now. great band thanks for the recommendation lol
dont forget about August burns red. thier pretty good too.
♪ The walls of a church don't make it holy. ♪ [Awesome]
I LOVE YOU
yup
1:51 got me ready to run through a brick wall bruh
Bruh
Roifers are sun gods alex lightning ❤
Especially number 5
@Kevooi amen
The label does have a copy... This vid is from Solid State Records
@XnerdyXcupcakeX What's wrong with the last second?
"Dont excuse yourself from life today on the pretense of your past"
2:53 that pattern though
"The walls of a church don't make it holy."
i would never excuse my life august burns red. what you say goes
@MrJoeChops yea
2:40 Epic guitar solo, into an Epic Break Down at 2:50
2:50 to the end of the song is a Reminder For You and Everyone
HOly breakdown?! :D
@zinger727272 i could of sworn Messengers had a few solos on it lol
good solo :P
ABR rules!
@cheron60 Haha thanks man appreciate it ^^
2:55-3:08 is so freakin epic!!!
@XnerdyXcupcakeX wut about 4:01?
@MegaOpticBlast Underoath wrote their music 6 years ago. =\
2:51 OPEN THAT SHIT UP
@WACKENOPENAlR this is the sad, sad truth indeed
If this is screamo, its good screamo. Better than a lot of the other crap out there.
@cell213 How does that make them lame?
i say this is their best and most motherfucking destroyer breakdown....
"Security isn't glitzy or glamorous, concrete or cohesive. Therein lies the truth."
can someone kinda give me the meaning of this part?
i cant really grasp it.
I hope those little people will finaly get the moon ... i need to know ... lets go see all other video ...
August Burns Red spelt backards is August Burns Red :)
Take the lead inbetween nights !
As an atheist i find this really offensive. just kidding no matter what religion this is, it's awesome
@cell2123 the band isn't christian but the members are christian.
@bodomboy666 Thrill seeker had one on Barbarian
the amount of goddamn times i get told a metal song I've listened to for like a year is a Christian song happens honestly too much. don't care really tho. its good fuckin music, and metal Christians arent the ones that judge me based on what they perceive my religion to be.
i recomend (oh sleeper) to you guys
The rappers and metal haters can excuse themselves from life today :)
these lyrics are like fucking poetry, although this is an christian band and im athiest, they sure do make FUCKING GOOD MUSIC :)
and dont forget august burns red
