Beartooth - Look the Other Way (Visualizer)

"Look the Other Way" from Beartooth's new album 'The Surface'

Lyrics:

Barely afloat and we’re taking on water
Still chasing the high that I felt the whole summer
Being buried alive with a smile on my face
A drink in my hand and a day to erase

I’m picking up the pieces please just look the other way

I go off the rails every chance that I’m given
Is it worth my life if it means I might fit in
I Look at the wounds that I choose to inflict while I hold my tongue and I tighten my grip

Not falling asleep wish my heart would beat slower
Thinking back on my year wanna start it all over
I wake you up and I tell you I’m losing control I’m barely surviving but I need you to know

I’m picking up the pieces please just look the other way
Cause baby I’m afraid I’m slowly pushing you away
By showing you the deepest darkest weakest part of me
You said you’ll always be right here to keep me company

When I don’t even love myself you love me anyway

You can tell that tremble in his voice at the end was sincere.

[tylerelliott]

This song man…it hit me hard. Unbelievable album.

[RocotacoPerposterown]

That last line hits me hard. Thank you to my wife for loving me when I can't love myself.

[maximiliangreenwood]

Man... I can't explain to you right now.. Shit hit me so hard. It's been some years now that I found my brother dead from suicide after a battle with skitzophrenia. I have never been the same but with time came a lot of good. Now married and a successful business owner I know I made it but there are still days I cannot even get out of bed. My wife, family, very close friends have never left my side though and this song just made me ball my eyes out. I'm damn grateful to be here today and even more blessed to jam some Beartooth daily!!! So much damn love and respect for these guys!!!

[bradlewis]

They’ll never see this. But I’m broken, working on it, but broken. I finally found someone that isn’t dragging me for it and wants to grow together as adults. This song absolutely slaps my soul. It hits home. And means more to me than it probably should. Thank you Caleb shomo.

[MyZairie]

I fear if they perform this live I will be in the crowd ugly crying for sure…. Hits my whole soul like a brick wall…

[replacetadecapullo]

This is one of those songs that I will listen many times more because of the lyrics than for the song itself.

[bigDAWGdukee]

This is the prettiest song I've ever heard. Thank you so much. I needed this

[frankunodostres]

you know when a beartooth album starts with an acoustic guitar, it's gonna be good

[amgrail]

The number of times I’ve listened to this track on repeat and it’s still not enough to purge the emotions it drags up.

[ciliary_deathband]

The greatest beartooth songs are the ones with the RAWEST emotions behind it. This is no exception. Beautiful song. Heartbreaking.

[DylanBeard-eb]

I lost my mom in 2023 and I can say honestly, this hits home for me. I've lost myself. Thank you Caleb for this song. It means so much. ❤️

[RockFeed]

Saw Beartooth play the other night. Hadn’t heard this song before. This is possibly my favorite song they’ve ever written. ❤

[derivinity]

I did NOT expect to get so teary eyed at a Beartooth song WOW

[MarcusWilson-md]

Man this is absolutely one of the best songs ever im sorry for whatever ur going through but its gonna be ok we all fall apart sometimes

[belinda]

I lost my best friend last year, the same friend I saw @beartooth with for the first time at warped tour. I love you Alex Schultz, you’re so loved and missed. Thank you guys for making the music that gave me lifelong friendships. 🖤

[MrHiwaysThinkin]

Masterpiece. 🖤🤘
Lyrics;
"Look The Other Way"

Barely afloat and we're taking on water
Still chasing the high that I felt the whole summer
Being buried alive with a smile on my face
A drink in my hand and a day to erase

I'm picking up the pieces, please just look the other way
I'm picking up the pieces, please just look the other way

I go off the rails every chance that I'm given
Is it worth my life if it means I might fit in?
I look at the wounds that I choose to inflict
While I hold my tongue and I tighten my grip

I'm picking up the pieces, please just look the other way
I'm picking up the pieces, please just look the other way

I'm not falling asleep, wish my heart would beat slower
Thinking back on my year, wanna start it all over
I wake you up and I tell you I'm losing control
I'm barely surviving, but I need you to know

I'm picking up the pieces, please just look the other way
I'm picking up the pieces, please just look the other way
'Cause baby I'm afraid I'm slowly pushing you away
By showing you the deepest, darkest, weakest part of me

You said you'll always be right here to keep me company
When I don't even love myself you love me anyway
When I don't even love myself you love me anyway

[amgrail]

Still listening to this one daily.
15 1/2 months sober and it just lifts me up and reminds me of how far I’ve come from who I was and who stood beside me through it all.

[sechsdrei]

Really hoping they will perform this one live on tour

I've not seen a metal/hard rock vocalist pour out their emotions like Caleb shomo did for this song. He said it's for his wife.. basically he's thanking her for sticking by his side through his addiction. "I'm picking up the pieces please just look the other way." He's saying 'yeah im fucked up but you love me anyways and you stick by my side ❤ I'm getting teary eyed typing this and listening again and again to his beautiful vocals
