Hail The Sun 'Entertainment Lies' (Official Music Video)

Follow Hail The Sun:

Directed by Cole Dabney

Lyrics:
A callous cinema
Erotic idiom
I am a witness
Video Violence
Evading chastity
Scared
Straining for the face they'll seek on the camera
Another dream gone
A parent’s heart attack
I know it’s all wrong
Coerce into violation
Brainwash into adoration
I think she felt a void
Spiritual vacuum
I hate what’s out there
Tears
Another dream gone
Her parents’ heart attack
I know it’s all wrong
Coerce into violation
Brainwash into adoration
Now someone's seal is broken
Selling off their love
Someone's pride is taken
Selling service
Selling service
Pictures just do half the justice telling of the crime
Lewd director taking his sweet time
Talent buyers violate
Damnit they all get away
Moral anguish nauseates
Another one (trapped again)
It's so calculated
Demonstrate entitled behavior
In the culture
In the culture
So many dreams gone
A family heart attack
I know it’s all wrong
Coerce into violation
Brainwash into adoration
Demeaning exploitation captured onto tape
We must expose the secret molestation
Entertainment Lies
Red Light
Red Light
Red Light

How can he play like drums like that while singing like that? Fucking God.

[arealhuman]

Found this band couple months back and am now looking at the lyrics of all their songs and damn... They never keep quiet about the important shit huh?

As someone who used to watch this kinda stuff I'm glad I quit for good. It's scary how entering and leaving this industry changes the people and how it affects their lives. I just love Hail The Sun so much honestly. What a song as well, just can't get that riff out of my head...

[johnhowetv]

Perfect balance of meaningful music that's sweet on the ears.. Killin' it boys!!

[austinking]

i saw this video as an ad. the only ad i have ever watched through entirely captivated.

[linkisdead]

Hail the Sun focused on some real deep shit on this album. I love where they're going

[Youknowhimasmatt]

Being from California they understand this sad truth and decided to write about it. Honorable. Thank you from Cleveland!

[IndigoMusicStudios]

More and more relevant message as time goes on.

[alliedarky]

Hail the Sun: never keeping quiet about the real shit

[SatronPaintSamuel]

Didn't think I could love this song anymore than I already did, but I was wrong. Such a well made visual medium for the sense of desperation and direness the song makes me feel.

[aldencoley]

Seeing them open up for DGD was fire.
I remember he announced the meaning of the song right before they played it 👌

[elvilx]

I'm glad this was an ad on a video I was watching. the only one I've sat through and enjoyed honestly. lol

[doplextv]

You guys are the last hope for good music nowadays. Seriously so good!

[ukpy]

As someone who watches way too much porn, this one hit home. Pretty depressing to think about how the girl must feel or what must be going on to let it come to this. Especially those who wind up online through a sad story like this. Trying my best to quit for good and appreciate the finer things in life. Definitely buying this jam, can't get that riff out of my head.

[davidchance]

sick. seein these guys this Thursday with DGD, Good Tiger, and The Contortionist. yes, it IS the best line up ever

[MorseCodeStutters]

The first time I listened to this song, I thought it was just about people being brainwashed into wanting to become celebrities an selling out at any chance they can get.

Upon closer inspection of the lyrics and the music video, the bigger picture was revealed...

Culture scars
Sporadic melodies of soulful classical sensuality, a sound of a sorrowful seductive youthful romance, these are the emotional feelings I return to when hearing the album, culture scars by the post hardcore band, hail the sun. A beautiful album of artistic rock and emotional classical metal. Donovan the singer soars with harsh screams and graceful singing the lyrics that range from hidden lies behind entertainment, paranoia and love. Like a play of operatic pains and harmonic breakdowns. From the technical fast tempos to the simple slow beats, this album flows wonderfully.
The colorful riffs flow all over the place that chill my soul. A melodic ride of youthful dark realities, hidden from all. It has opened my eyes to the truth behind what seems fine and innocent. It reminds me of peaceful slow rock mixed with high energy fast metal. Full of passion, truth and creativity. They are pioneers of post hardcore and melodic revolution and will keep growing beautifully. This will always be one of the deepest pieces of my soul and special part of my life.

[kevincarofano]

I forgot how much I love these guys until now

[yvettecardenas]

Amazing. I love it. Hail the Sun is just pure perfection.

[BANGOUTLR]

If you're a fan of this song I know for a fact that you've probably played the first 25 seconds of it over and over.

[matthewcoleman]

Donovan your voice is amazing. I keep falling in love with the whole band every time I hear a song.
