Circa Survive 'Your Friends Are Gone'

Lyrics:
All your friends are gone

It climbs in slowly behind
You trust your neighbor
They'd never suspect what you're like
Welcome them into your life
No one has to know
Playback, delete and rewind

It's getting closer than you thought it'd get
Just get inside
It's moving faster than you'd ever planned
You'll be relieved when

When you open up
You let yourself seem vulnerable
And the morning sun
Will make our bodies comfortable
In taking off your clothes
Everything hidden is suddenly exposed

Nobody wants to hear another
Story about how you couldn't write right
It climbs in slowly behind
No one has to know
Playback, delete and rewind
Each one is louder than the one before
And the people you care for
At ten times the expense
Of all that you spent
You'll be relieved when

You keep it on the inside
Cause that's the safest place
Cause that's the safest place to hide
All of your friends are gone
And you were barely holding on
We were wrong and
They fooled us once again
We are the loneliest of men
We're the loneliest

And all your friends are gone
Nobody hears you
All your friends were wrong
Nobody cares
And all your friends are gone
Nobody's here with you
And all your friends were wrong
Nobody cares

[danielferdel]

35 years old and now that al lot of friends are gone. This song hits diferent

[brysonholdeman]

One of the most powerful Circa songs ever

[bananahamockboy]

This song gets me so fucked up. Really hits to the core. And I've played it to myself alone countless times but here I am again fucking destroying myself to it again. Tripping. And it's so fucking much. Beautifully captures my loneliness.

[bresnahan]

Does nobody recognize how incredible the drumming is in this song?

[HeyChicagoWhattaSay]

My friend John Larimer was taken from me 10 years ago. In the Dark Knight Massacre in Aurora CO. Nobody hears you... Nobody cares. But I do John. You forever changed me.

[michellearanda]

Two of my friends have died months apart from each other. I haven’t listened to this song in years. Rest in paradise;
Megan Ryan
Fernando Valdez
Lance Surdacki
Isabella Brito
And everyone else I’ve lost throughput the years. I love you guys so much.

[surgicallydestroyed]

I was crying my eyes to this song
Never thought I would ever relate to this song ever again.

[Kid_Ying]

I mean every lyric of this song is gut wrenching in how it so accurately describes my introverted, depressed, anxious ass. While I do have friends, I never feel like they understand anything I have to say, even though I go so far out of my way to connect with and support them. I hide my own problems and feelings in an effort to not burden anyone else. But it's like... when is it my turn to receive a little support? And then there are allegories that can be made to my time in service, most of my adult life. All of my brothers and sisters, the people I became closest to, are spread around the world. Assuming they're still alive. And since leaving after 12 years, it's been so hard to connect with anyone else on a deeper-than-surface level. I know this song isn't about service members, but godamn does it hit home on that front in a lot of different ways. We are the loneliest of men. This song is beautiful, but I can't listen to it without a bit of wet eye.

[emptyroomd]

The whole album itself is a masterpiece

[RxPrince]

In love with this band. Recently discovered them. Thanks to Difference from medicine and poison

[hexes]

3:15 - 4:15 still gives me all the feels

[soul]

The older I get, the more I understand this song. I try so hard to be close to people and to cultivate relationships but it feels like I’m just incomprehensible to most and they don’t bother to try and connect with me in return.
Man, I thought this song hit hard when I was 17 but it absolutely destroys me now.

[jedimastermacewindu]

9 yrs deep and it hits as hard as the first time. Never fails. Way back when my depression hit rock bottom, circa was there for me . Many nights I'd contemplate my existence, and when nobody would answer, circa would always bring me back from the edge. 'We are the Loneliest of men... we're the LOOONNLIIEEESSTTT!!!!" 💯🙏💪 Everytime.

[GanjaLady]

I listen to this album multiple times a day I love Circa so much 🥺

[michaelvieregge]

Best song they ever wrote .

And i love about 60 of their songs more than i love watching my children be born .

[StevieJayGamez]

Pretty much all of my friends are gone. Nobody hears me. Nobody cares. Surface level existence when it comes to contact. I get into relationship ships and give a piece of my self to every one who embarks like two passing ships in the night. I always ask people how they are and let them know I care. I try to call old friends but the truth is if I never did then they wouldn’t either. Perhaps they’re lonely too. Are we shells, living an existence that feels like we are just passing time til the grave?

This song captures the yearning to make your self whole again on another level. Dealing with the passing of time, the human experience and the endless consciousness that lets us know things are never going back to the way they once where. Pain, fear and yet you can almost picture Anthony’s trials and tribulations. The endless fight in his mind between good and evil. Dealing with the person he’s become in his mind. A reflection in the mirror of sorts. 😢


We are the loneliest of men. A generation born to witness the end of the world.

[zackmonroe]

me: i promise i won’t cry…

Anthony Green: 3:53

also me: **sobs uncontrollably**

[oldirtyspacecadet]

I always come back to this for a good cry

[SonoftheMornin]

I listened to this album so much, this song and travel hymn in particular so many times when I was younger.. man.. every listen brings it all back.

[rezafu]

This another one of my favorite songs the way you say "listening" i love it your voice is so good
