The lyrics below are from Teardown`s cd Against The Dying Light. This is a great modern style hardcore cd that was released a few years ago on Final Stand Records. While their existence was short lived I think their contribution to our music scene is invaluable. While there were other hardcore bands in our music scene at the time Teardown was around, I really think it was Teardown that set the bar and pushed hardcore music to the forefront. The lyrics below are from the song Rejected, as I like posting motivational lyrics and lyrics about self betterment, rejection of the ills of society, etc
Rejected
I`m crawling no more, I`ve rejected your world
I`ve rejected your drugs, Pulled my head from the sand
Gonna stand tall, Gonna rise above all
And never succumb to your mindless ways
Moderation never worked for me
I`ve gotta push everything I see
I can`t quit living and I can`t quit caring
About where I fit in and the world around me
I will strive for victory over your world, you`re useless way of life
Reject the base and persevere
Never give in to this self made strife
Rejected
I won`t live like that, I won`t live like you
Rejected
Find the inner strength to remain fucking true
I`ve tried your way I can`t live like that
I`ve gotta make something of myself
Fucked up time with a fucked up mind, gives no satisfaction in my life
You`re a waste so I won`t waste my breath
It makes it worse because you know what`s right
You don`t care the world`s falling apart
You won`t fight, defeated from the start
Honor and duty have no place in your life, in your selfish heart
I`ve rejected all you have done
Determined to overcome, I`ve fucking won!
Remain True
Definite Hate is a band that I have been into before even their debut cd was released. As a collector I try and grab up things of interest and one of these things was a demo cassette put out years ago featuring Definite Hate and Riot Wing. It had a good sound quality but what really blew me away were the lyrics. They were no holds barred pissed off in your face southern white boy aggression that at the time really appealed to me. Since then they have released two cd`s, the first being the split with Riot Wing, and the second a full length titled Welcome To The South. Their full length took a bit of different sound which reminds me a lot of the Bully Boys, as it was a bit more melodic and featured a new singer who has a similar voice. The lyrics on this cd evolved also as they became more focused on working for a better future and preserving what they have- friends, family and land. We will be posting some lyrics from this cd shortly. While copies of the original pressing of Welcome To The South can still be found they are getting scarce, but fortunately it has been repressed by Wewelsburg Records. This new repress is now in stock at Label 56 as well as their original split with Riot Wing, but have not been added to our site yet. Anyone interested in copies can email us at independentminded@label56.com We do accept paypal
