摇滚歌曲:In Fear and Faith - Look What You Made Me Do

In Fear and Faith is an American post-hardcore band from San Diego, California. Formed in 2006, the group was signed to Rise Records and released three studio albums and two EPs. Their debut¹ full-length, Your World on Fire, being released nearly a year after the band's signing to Rise in 2008, peaked at No. 193 on the Billboard² 200. Their second full-length album, Imperial was released the following year and sold even better, charting at No. 4 on the Top Heatseekers chart in the US alone.

look what you made me do - in fear and faith
instant fame, is the name of the game
the pieces were carefully put in place
and nothing's gonna stand in my way
but he who exhibits poise³ and grace
is left to fend⁴ for himself
in the worst of ways
so make them shiver,
but don't cause a scene
do everything you can, just to look 18
never forget to convey what you mean
or just dangle⁵ from the strings⁶
of the powers that be
the list goes on and on and on
and the only way to stay sane⁷
is just to bottle it up and wait
for the moment you take the stage
and see their hands keeping time
with the rhymes that you created
i'm finally worth something,
i finally made it
so take it all,
i don't wanna sell my soul today
look what you made me do,
it happened anyway
how can i find a way home?
back to the honest days
so take it all,
i don't wanna sell my soul today
look what you made me do,
it happened anyway
you chewed me up and spit me out like
i knew you would
you owe me a childhood
instant fame!
there was a time when i
used to dream of this life,
imagine the limelight
hindsight is 20/20 and i'm losing my mind
i'm fucking sick of this shit,
will i be something more?
will i ever exist? i will never submit
and take the side of the inferior
they all bestow⁸ their bodies to the earth
the soil, rich with self indulgence
i stand upon
so take it all,
i don't wanna sell my soul today
look what you made me do,
it happened anyway
how can i find a way home?
back to the honest days
so take it all,
i don't wanna sell my soul today
look what you made me do,
it happened anyway
you chewed me up and spit me out like
i knew you would
