Allo allo allo, you ready to die?
WELL LET'S ENGAGE THE KILLSWITCH!
Killswitch Engage a band whom's singer i have met Jesse Leach and a band i have seen live and have been my fave live band to see. I can not wait to see them again. I love this band, lyrically they are heavily inspiring to me anyway. Catchy,heavy and so god damn awesome i love Jesse and Howard both are great lyrical genius's and vocal masters of metal easily my fave vocalists. I am not in the whole who is better war that the KSE fans often get locked up in because i am a fan of KSE altogether no matter the band changes i love it and them regardless.
Look here i am meeting Jesse Leach he was so cool! I fanboy'd so hard when i met him.
As ever i am not going to pick any covers so your predictability of Holy diver being number 1 is gone.
10: This fire - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-aIXBXlz4M
Kicking off the list is this powerful epic song used by CM Punk most notable during his first few years in the WWE. The chorus and song is one of my most inspirational "Even through the darkest days,this fire burns, always" It's all about your will i believe to stay strong no matter what that through the tough and dark days that your fire must burn, always.
9: Hate by design - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG7n93dShNQ
One of their newest songs and most epic. This one is all about the hate we develop into our lives from our upbringings to our surroundings to the stuff the media likes to pump into us basically.
8: The new awakening - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzRGcNPqTeg
From the opening this song is killer and hey listen carefully you can hear both Howard and Jesse at times which makes it much more epic. This one is all about how you should live your life "I will not live in fear" and "i would rather burn out than fade away" relating to making an impact on your way out of this life rather than be forgotten about and not living in the fear of society and the media horror stories you hear about quite frankly.
7: Strength of the mind - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAipqW5YDH4
Another new one from KSE is on this list. Why? JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG! IT'S FUCKING AWSOME! This track is very reminiscent of their as daylight dies days. The song has been described by the band as "not just a self help song" this song is very motivational so yeah thats how i am going to sum up it's meaning by a motivational helpful song of strength of the mind.
6: Starting over - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-rIHFbOSDQ
Back to Howard again and did you or have you ever wished about starting your life over? This is the song. It is basically about a relationship of which the spark has gone and just wanting to start again.
5: My last serenade - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoQrwKJtv_c
The first Kse video i ever saw of the guys before i came a fan of them was this now what propelled me to like KSE was the Howard era Holy Diver to start but again as all that was going on i did go back in their catalog and i did fall in love with this song it was raw and just great it took me a few listens to just really love because at the time of first hearing this proper i was a Howard era fan like i said but man is this such a tune. I will explain this with what Jesse had to say "It has many meanings but ultimately, It's really about burning bridges. There comes a time when you have to leave people behind and just let them know that you care and there's only so much love you can give somebody until they drag you down with them." So yeah.
4: The arms of sorrow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EluzTj88tWU
Oh my god what a beautiful powerful song. The lyrics to me feel very much like an experience with depression with a bit of saving yourself what i really love most about this song is how passionate it is. The chorus always get's me singing.
3: In due time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HANCzu70us4
The return of Jesse seen the band return with new heavy content of superbness, this is such a tune always get's me singing yet again for hours. As ever another motivational song about enduring the bad because there is light at the end of the tunnel "shadows will give way,to light". All in due time you will see the world through different eyes when the shadows give way to light seeing the positives from the negatives and so on.
2: End of heartache - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiDnB-CrrNs
The third song i ever heard from the band. I believe this is the feeling of being incomplete after a break up wanting the heartache you have suffered to end. I have noticed a lot while going through comments people making connections of God from some of the bands songs admist the Howard earlier which i never really noticed til now but some lyrics do have a feel of a talk between the singer and the higher being but that is not what i have said i am merely passing on some tid bits of things i have seen.
1: My curse - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPW9AbRMwFU
Ah the days of Burnout Paradise driving about with this blasting through my telly speakers and shredding away on Guitar Hero 3 anyway this is the very second song i ever heard from KSE which from the opening "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH OH RIGHT!" had me hooked line and moshing. I believe this one again is about a relationship but it's the crush stage of feelings you know having love for someone and them not knowing and of a shyness you can not get out your feelings for them no matter how much you want to as it is just so hard to get them out in the open as those feelings may not be felt by the other person alternatively the video has suggested it could be just trying to let go of the feelings you have for someone you loved who passed away. Who truly knows the meaning to all of these songs on the list it's all up for debate many people make their own meanings.
Honorable Mentions: God there are so many just go check out KSE all of their albums and songs!
