[Vidéo] Defender : "Bitter Youth" (Paroles / Lyrics)

On pourra dire que ça fait un groupe de Post-Hardcore/Métalcore de plus sur la scène déjà bien remplie du genre mais puisque cette fois on parle d'une formation suisse et non américaine, prenons le temps de s'attarder dessus.

Encore assez peu connu, Defender est un groupe originaire de Baden - en Suisse, donc - qui a sorti son premier album Lost // Tree en mars 2017 (en écoute intégrale sur BandCamp) et même si sa musique s'inscrit dans un registre propre au genre, on peut tout de même reconnaître que c'est bien fait et que ça possède suffisamment de personnalité pour qu'on y pose une oreille !

All your buildings will crash as waves on shores Everything that you do is caused by fear of the truth Manipulated by greed, isolated by fear We’ll be sinking together Eye for eye, alive, we’ve been biting our tongues for way too long Tooth for tooth, our truth, Our constant reminder of what we’ve become We are setting course to our destiny How can you not see this fucking suffering ? Everything you think is taking and taking But the universe is set up just for taking and giving ! We march towards the wall Can you hear our footsteps beating ? Sick of thinking what we could have been With nothing left to lose we are never sleeping We break the numbers upon our heads Ears and Eyes are open A constant reminder of what we’ve become We are living in a bitter youth ! We have to honour the past with no looking back A constant reminder of life lessons we learned Just to take these words of hope down your throat At the top of our lungs together we will sing these words We will sing these words together Tooth for tooth, our truth ! This bitter youth will lead us nowhere ! Is this the bitter truth ? When all is lost How can we still not see That we’ve become our own enemy ?
We won’t be puppets with a lifetime debt. The clock is ticking, hands around our necks Keep in mind that you’re not alone We are dreamers and we’re dreaming on ! Stop living like you’re waiting to die We are not puppets of this bitter youth !
