Tonight We Feel Alive (On A Saturday) Lyrics


The face of another day
Searching of the voice of a better way
They say that it's a bad time of year to be up in arms
So we're pushing on because we know in our heartsIt's the only way
To stay afloat with the sharks at bay
Avoid being a casualty of the circumstances
And second chances are shredded day by dayWill your legs fail you
When you stand too straight and tall?
'Cause the world's gone mad
The taller you are, the harder you fallSail up into the night sky until our worlds collide
Tonight we feel alive
Stand up where I can see you, no reason left to hide
Tonight we feel aliveYou asked what would I stand for?
Truth is, I stand for this
It's passion perfected fashion neglected
A natural infection of all we have seenIt's the only way
Since we discovered we had a say
Found that the world's not as cold and gray

As our circumstances
And second chances, living out the daysWill your legs fail you
When you stand too straight and tall?
'Cause the world's gone mad
The taller you are the harder you fall
I won't stand for thisSail up into the night sky until our worlds collide
Tonight we feel alive
Stand up where I can see you, no reason left to hide
Tonight we feel alive, tonight, tonight, tonightStand up where I can see you, no reason left to hide
It's the only way, it's the only way
Tonight we feel alive, it's the only way
It's the only way, tonight, tonight, tonightWill your legs fail you
When you stand too straight and tall?
'Cause the world's gone mad
The taller you are the harder you fallSail up into the night sky until our worlds collide
Tonight we feel alive
Stand up where I can see you, no reason left to hide
Tonight we feel aliveTonight we feel alive, tonight, tonight, tonight

History

Formation and It's Our Time (2001–2006)
Rise or Die Trying, Explains It All (2006–2009)

The band's 2007 release Rise or Die Trying with I Surrender Records peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in its debut week. On the back of their increasing popularity, the band was signed to Decaydance Records in February 2008.

On July 21, 2009, Four Year Strong released an album of covers from the 1990s, titled Explains It All. The album features guest appearances from Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, and JR and Buddy of Less Than Jake. The band explained their reasoning behind the album in a MySpace blog, saying "It’s what we grew up listening to. Everyone has those songs that instantly transport you back to when you were younger. Whether we were in our bedrooms playing air guitar, or riding in the car to little league practice, or it was just that song that was all over the radio during that awesome summer at the Cape. These songs have impacted us in some way and we want to share that feeling with you."

Enemy of the World (2010)

The band's 3rd full-length album, Enemy of the World, was released on March 9, 2010 on Universal Motown Records. The band released the album's first single, "It Must Really Suck to Be Four Year Strong Right Now", on December 21, 2009. The name of the song is a reference to the final sentence of a review in Alternative Press in which the magazine praised Set Your Goals' new album while remarking on the future of Four Year Strong and how their record would compare. The vinyl record was made available to pre-order on March 2, 2010. The album sold 12,400 copies in its first week, debuting at number 40 on the Billboard 200.

Musical style

The band's sound can be described as popcore a blend of pop punk, hardcore punk, and power pop. This genre is popularly referred to as "easycore" or "happycore". The band simply developed their sound off the idea of playing 'exactly what they want to hear' or music that they would listen to, but no one else was playing at the time.[8] The band has cited their influences as being Lifetime, Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits, Blink-182, and New Found Glory, to name a few. Though the band would primarily start out as a post-hardcore , the release of their demo in 2004 would mark a shift from post-hardcore to more synthesizer-heavy tracks, where the band would begin to embrace the styles of power pop and general hardcore punk. Prior to the release of and at times within Rise or Die Trying, the band also incorporates more facets of modern hardcore, such as double bass drums, breakdowns and screaming vocals. For their 3rd studio album, Enemy of the World, the band decided to expand upon their hardcore influences.
Influences

The band has many references to 1990's pop culture. They have been known to quote lines from '90s films in lyrics/song titles/ and in conversation. They were influenced by all the bands on their cover album Explains It All.
