Silverstein - Don't Wait Up

Don't Wait Up is taken from Silverstein’s album Misery Made Me, out now.

Another day with no light
Feeling alone in a double life
So far away
I levitate
Somewhere between the shadow
And the darkest place
And I start to slip away
Don’t wait up now
Heavy heart my heads like ten feet up now
So high above the ground
Don’t wait up now
‘Cause I’m halfway to the clouds
While everything inside of me is crashing down
I covered up my tracks so long ago
Like cracking ice hidden under snow
If I lie to you
Could I believe it too?
I need something to fuck me up
‘Cause I can’t take the truth
So I run and split in two
Thin air in a crowded room
I can’t hold myself together if I can’t feel my hands
I can’t make myself get better if I can’t understand
I can’t tell you where I’m going
I can’t tell you when this ends
I need something to hold on to until I leave again
Don’t tell me it’s my fault
Just catch me when I fall back to earth
‘Cause my world gets so blurry
And it’s too hard to stay here
Fracture and disappear

The voice inflection on the second half of the chorus with the "Don't wait up nowwwOWWW" gives me This Is How The Wind Shifts vibes. Love it

[hyu]

one of my favourites from the album - catchy chorus, great guitars, and you can feel the sense of desperation the lyrics are trying to convey

[Rob_Cary]

Some of Shane's vocal inflections in parts of this track are almost Anberlin-esque. These last two albums man....huge breath of fresh air. They're good at this new sound.

[zetneck]

Silverstein never disappoints, always brings us amazing music, thank you! 🤍

[SickIncKamikaze]

That main tapping riff is giving me serious Dying Is Your Latest Fashion vibes.

[nolankuffner]

One thing I appreciate about this album is literally every harsh vocal Shane produces is easily intelligible.
So even my friends that aren't super used to it can understand and better enjoy the song.

Every time I hear people defend bands for falling off the wagon or selling out after 2 - 3 albums, I just point to Silverstein still putting out great music, album after album, for all these years. I hope I continue to grow older with new music from these guys.

My favorite song on the album Repeat canidate #1

[imylondon]

this is the best song on the new album btw

[DanielTrombley]

From the first time I heard this band in 2003 at 20 years old, it feels like Silverstein has grown along with all of us millenials throughout the 2000s. I've come home from a stressful day at work, and this song just hits the spot.

[JuanCruzFabi]

This is one of my favorite songs on this new album. So solid. Also, I don't know if that tapping guitar part is from Josh or Paul Marc guitar but man, who ever played and composed that deserves a beer

[giorgostsak]

Favourite song on the album!
Already a classic! This song is my soul.

"Don't Wait Up"

Another day with no light
Feeling alone in a double life
So far away
I levitate
Somewhere between the shadow
And the darkest place
And I start to slip away

Don't wait up now
Heavy heart my heads like ten feet up now
So high above the ground
Don't wait up now
Cause I'm halfway to the clouds
While everything inside of me is crashing down

I covered up my tracks so long ago
Like cracking ice hidden under snow
If I lie to you
Could I believe it too?
I need something to fuck me up
Cause I can't take the truth
So I run and split in two
Thin air in a crowded room

Don't wait up now
Heavy heart my heads like ten feet up now
So high above the ground
Don't wait up now
Cause I'm halfway to the clouds
While everything inside of me is crashing down

I can't hold myself together if I can't feel my hands
I can't make myself get better if I can't understand
I can't tell you where I'm going
I can't tell you when this ends
I need something to hold on to until I leave again
Don't tell me it's my fault
Just catch me when I fall back to earth
Cause my world gets so blurry
And it's too hard to stay here
Fracture and disappear

Don't wait up now
Heavy heart my heads like ten feet up now
So high above the ground

Don't wait up now
Heavy heart my heads like ten feet up now
So high above the ground
Don't wait up now
Cause I'm halfway to the clouds
While everything inside of me is crashing down
It's crashing down

[facelesselizabet]

The bridge is so beautiful, seems like I'm going to listen it on repeat

[weshardcider]

ive loved these guys since when broken is easily fixed its even tattooed on my arm amazing album

[EnterTheAether]

This track sounds like it should follow 'The Alter/Mary' on the album : tempo, key, etc

[nolankuffner]

Man, I can't wait to hear this one live 😁
This shit is catchy as fire in a gas tank 🔥

[AndrewKelley]

Is that Buddy Nielsen from Senses Fail guest singing at 1:53?

[HarptoHeart]

The guitar was amazing, the drums, the bass everything was amazing! Soo happy to see these guys back in the game, absolutely love it! 🤘

[marf]

I almost thought it's Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute at 1:53
