Songs that best represent ATS

reply to post by nixie_nox


Gotta represent the ATS theme song on this one.

I was going to, of course, go with Cult of Personality but that was knocked out at the beginning, so...



"Time is coming to an end
Prepare for the worst to come
You arise but your life has run dry
Show me the answers I've been looking for
Where did they come from?

Nothing seems real anymore
I am no stranger of hatred and lies
We're lost and there's nothing left
Fear is the only thing that keeps us alive
Lose what you have in mind
What keeps us alive
You all will be taken away

Burn this place
So we can celebrate
A start of a brand new day
New beginnings time for change
New beginnings time for change
[ Lyrics from: www.lyricsmode.com... ]
Don't always hide the fury and sit in silence
The less I hear the more I'm scared
Feel the victory and jump into a sea of serenity
Let the water clean your dreams
Afraid to let go of everything

Trying to keep unity and make a statement
But you bleed your head is spilling
All the judgments
All the wars
All the rivalry we face
Is leaking on the floor

When will it be okay to come outside
When the storm is dying and the rain is done
The composure of my soul is harmonized
By the sounds that travel into me

Show me the answers I've been looking for
Where did they come from?
Nothing seems real anymore
I am no stranger to all of this bull#
Time is coming to an end
Prepare for the worst try to keep unity
Make a statement but you bleed your head is spilling
All the wars
All the Rivalries
The composure of my soul is harmonized
By the sounds that travel into me"

"It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bull#
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 building 7 did they really pull it
Uhh, And a bunch of other cover ups
Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust
You get it then they move it so you never keeping up enough
If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the #s”
Dude is dating so and so blabbering bout such and such
And that ain't Jersey Shore, homie that's the news
And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say #
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful
And I believe in the people.

It’s so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

Now you can say it ain't our fault if we never heard it
But if we know better than we probably deserve it
Jihad is not a holy war, wheres that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam!
And you are not observant
And you are not a muslim
Israel don’t take my side cause look how far you’ve pushed them
Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the Kush went
Complain about the liquor store but what you drinking liquor for?
Complain about the gloom but when’d you pick a broom up?
Just listening to Pac ain't gone make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts, ain't gon make it halt
If you don’t become an actor you’ll never be a factor
Pills with million side effects
Take em when the pains felt
Wash them down with Diet soda!
Killin off your brain cells
Crooked banks around the World
Would gladly give a loan today
So if you ever miss a payment
They can take your home away!

It’s so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said, never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion that's why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you
Sometimes I’m like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I’m locked inside a cell in me, I know that there’s a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through

It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said"

ATS is like one big party that makes people wonder what the hell there doing here with all the weirdos, and what's that crazy tune there all dancing to.

Blink-182 'Aliens Exist'

Text Hey mom there's something in the backroom I hope it's not the creatures from above You used to read me stories As if my dreams were boring We all know conspiracies are dumb What if people knew that these were real (these were real) I'd leave my closet door open all night I know the CIA would say What you hear is all hearsay I wish someone would tell me what was right Up all night long And there's something very wrong And I know it must be late Been gone since yesterday I'm not like you guys I'm not like you I am still the skeptic yes you know me (yes you know me) Been best friends and will be till we die (till we die) I got an injection Of of fear from the abduction My best friend thinks I'm just telling lies Alright... Up all night long And there's something very wrong And I know it must be late Been gone since yesterday I'm not like you guys I'm not like you Dark and scary, ordinary, explanation Information, nice to know ya, paranoia Where's my mother, biofather... Up all night long And there's something very wrong And I know it must be late Been gone since yesterday I'm not like you guys... Twelve majestic lies...

Nine Inch Nails - My Violent Heart

This song springs most often to mind when I'm reading posts made by some of this forum's more prominent members, mainly due to the way it expresses a determined defiance without devolving into clichés or mindless expletives. The fact that it's from an album based around the concept of a dystopian future adds to its relevance.

Lyrics:
You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet-holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart

Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn

You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?

On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
You wear our bones
Our skin
We will not let you in

You have set something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown

Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there, we will be there

On hands and knees
We crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away

On hands and knees
We crawl
You can not stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place

We crawl.

CIA Man by The Fugs. Language. You might have heard it over the credits of "Burn After Reading."



There's also this version which is by the same band but sounds a lot different.

"Who can take the sugar from the sack?
Put in '___' and put it back?
F**kin' A, man
CIA Man."

3 year lurker posts on ATS song thread - claims this thread was what made registering worth it.

Sir, sir...

*hands microphone to TheCorporateBeast*

What?

Anyway... I just found this thread today... Pretty cool Thanks Gimmefootball400!!!! S&F!!!

Cool idea.

It's tough to pick one song that would represent ATS, but there's one that I think represents many people here from what I've read thus far on this site. Here's Mother Mother with "Getaway."

One of my all time favourites.Rebellion in dreamland by Gamma Ray



Voices are calling from somewhere bellow
Melting on the eastern shore
Rain is falling down on me,
Been waiting for eternity...
I'll be there!
Freedom for us all!

And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns
And I wonder why, why the earth still turns
And I wonder why, why the sky turns black
Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back

For all eternity, for all the world to see
We're riding high across the wind
And when the storm begins, to wash away all sins
We'll find a place where we'll begin

There's something wrong with the world today,
Only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
They don't believe that they gone too far,
...they're falling down.

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion
Here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
Deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

... and the earth still turns but I'm on my way,
He is on the way, as my heart still yearns
... I'm on my way, now he is on the way,
And I cry for more
Yes I'm on my way, now he is on the way,
Gonna find the secret wall

I have seen the secret dreams
Of those who know eternity
And makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in
In my sleep I'm searching for a way to find
The open door leading me to where it all begins

There's nothing wrong with the world today...

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion
Here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
Deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

So now I'm riding through the air
Going to where no one dares
On the way I'll cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
Nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I'll cross the line
Forever to be free

Have no fear, Rebellion is here!

I am surprised at how many I haven't heard of, like this one.

I wonder if ats posters have a propensity to listen to music that is less mainstream, except me.

Although it probably describes the feeling all humanity has against the PTB at the moment and our disgust at being thought of as faceless statistics.


I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody Knows me
But I`m always there
A statistical reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care

My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I`m the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime?
I`m the child that never learns to read
`Cause no-one spared the time

(Chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc

I`m the murderer and the victim
The licence with the gun
I`m a sad and bruised old lady
In an ally in a slum
I`m a middle aged businessman
With chronic heart disease
I`m another teenaged suicide
In a street that has no trees

(Chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc

I`m a starving third world mother
A refugee without a home
I`m a house wife hooked on Valium
I`m a Pensioner alone
I`m a cancer ridden spectre
Discovering the earth
I`m another hungry baby
I`m an accident of birth.

(Chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc

I am the one in ten .... etc
