Red is one of those bands that you know as soon as you hear them. They could put a brand new song out and you’d probably guess it’s them. They are their own entity with heavy riffs, operatic vocals, orchestrated melodies, and screams all mashed together. They really pull onto your heart strings and bring emotion out of you through their lyrics and music. They are so easy to relate to because they are so real. And they put on a good show live also. If you ever have a chance to see them you will be glad you did! Their first album is by far my favorite and my top three choices reflect that sentiment. Here are my 10 favorite songs by Red with some great lyrics for each! Enjoy!
Favorite Lyric
“What if I stand ashamed? What if I can't let go of the pain? What if I have something to lose? What if I've got nothing left to prove? I replace this life you stole. I replace the world I know. What if you were always wrong? And what if I said I knew it all along?”
Favorite Lyric
“Remember when you found me drowning? You pulled me from the deepest end. I promised I will never leave You. Now I'm drowning again. It's killing me with every breath, witnessing the life I lived. Only You know who I am. I'm reaching out my hand.”
Favorite Lyric
“We deceive the world with lies we hide. Behind the smiles we can see the home of desperate hearts. The truth has fallen down. The illusion we've become. A fear we can't outrun. We're closing in our emptiness. We're broken.”
Favorite Lyric
“Cut me, I bleed! Feel me in need! I finally broke in the pressure. So tell me where were you when everything fell down like thunder? I begged you to pull me through! I couldn't get out from under!”
Favorite Lyric
“Can I find my way to you? And after all that we've been through, and after all we left in pieces, I still believe our lives have just begun. ‘Cause now the past can be outrun and I know you are the reason I still believe the best is yet to come.”
Favorite Lyric
“You gave me so much more than I could ever ask for, but I turned and followed a road that left me hollow. And still you waited for me to come back home. You brought me home.”
Favorite Lyric
“What I fear and what I've tried, words I say and what I hide. All the pain, I want it to end, but I want it again. And it finds me, the fight inside is coursing through my veins and it's raging. The fight inside is breaking me again.”
Favorite Lyric
“'Cause everywhere I turn you, you burn me, you break me. You always want to take me down with you. What do you want from me? I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away. I don't want to be here fading. It's more that I can take. I'm never gonna be the same. I threw it all away. I don't want to be here fading. Just let go! (look what you do to me) Let go! (look what you do to me)”
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. The lyrics and music are so powerful.
Favorite Lyric
“I'm here again, a thousand miles away from You. A broken mess: just scattered pieces of who I am. I tried so hard. Thought I could do this on my own. I've lost so much along the way. Then I see Your face. I know I'm finally Yours. I find everything I thought I lost before. You call my name. I come to You in pieces, so You can make me whole.”
This is the very first song I heard by them and it is also the first song on their debut album, End Of Silence. It has catchy guitar riffs and awesome vocals/screams.
Favorite Lyric
“Breathe Your life into me. I can feel You. I'm falling, falling faster. Breathe Your life into me. I still need You. I'm falling, falling. Breathe into me! Breathe into me!”
