LYRICS:
Lost in a dream
I don't know which way to go (oh, let me say)
If you are all that you seem
Then baby, I'm moving way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slamming door
How about some information, please?

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run?

Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?

Time's standing still
Waiting for some (waiting for some) small clue (oh, let me tell you)
I keep getting chills
When I think your love (when I think your love) is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slamming door
How about some information, please?

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run?

Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek with your true intentions
Do, do you love me?
Do, do you love me, baby?
C'mon now, do, do you love me?
Do, do you love me?

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run?

Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?

Straight up now tell me
Straight up now tell me, tell me
Straight up now tell me

Straight Up

Listen Now

To my friends that are dead and gone
To my friends that are dying
I will see you on the other side 
If there's another side to see you on
and that preacher wasn’t lyin’

You can guide me ‘round that river bend or welcome me to Valhalla then
Vouch for me when St. Peter says I’m ain’t aloud inside
Let this be your epitaph you helped the world to sing and laugh
You’ll live in our hearts as long as we're alive

You get to an age where you loose friends 
faster than you can make them
Even if I’m a lucky one and die a lonely old man
it still comes to an end
Legacy is just the way that you are  remembered

To my friends that are dead and gone
I will do my part to carry on 
It’s not the destination, it’s the ride
Let this be my epitaph, I helped the world to sing and laugh
I hope to live in your hearts as long as you’re alive

Epitaph

SEE IT THRU

Lyrics:
Here I am
Standing here lonely for another year
Feeling inadequate for another year
You can see it all in my eyes
My desire for you through the darkest of times
Here I am
Standing here lonely for another year
Feeling inadequate for another year
You can see it all in my eyes
I just want you standing on my side

I fall in and out of love everyday
Where’s the love, I ain’t getting none, you can’t relate
I’m the type that you want that cannot be replaced
So how the freak do you meet me then have me erased
From your memories, I don’t mess with your energy
And I’m still tryna figure out whether or not you feeling me
Please love me please love me
Please love me I need loving
Please love me please love me
Please love me I need loving
Please love me please love me
If not me you got nothing

Here I am
Standing here lonely for another year
Feeling inadequate for another year
You can see it all in my eyes
My desire for you through the darkest of times
Here I am
Standing here lonely for another year
Feeling inadequate for another year
You can see it all in my eyes
I just want you standing on my side

Time really moves fast
And into love I crash
How long does your love last
Cause my love lasts for all eternity 
Yes I have a lonely streak, I’m tryna break the lonely streak
I can’t help but want you to be here being alone with me
If that’s to much to ask for 
Then I won’t ask for it no more
Please love me please love me
Please love me I need loving
Please love me please love me
If not me you got nothing

Here I am
Standing here lonely for another year
Feeling inadequate for another year
You can see it all in my eyes
My desire for you through the darkest of times
Here I am
Standing here lonely for another year
Feeling inadequate for another year
You can see it all in my eyes
I just want you standing on my side

Standing Here Lonely

holding

1st verse - been 6 months since we drifted away. saw your new girl on the news today. not sure how i felt about it. wanted to kill myself over it. inside of course not outside how. you could be so sure of thats what you want mm now? guess the time we”ve had meant nothing for you.   


chorus- I’m still holding on to the thought i shouldn’t have let you go, opened up my heart to someone i didn’t even know, god really punished me and it mended us worse. Tried and I tried again but that only bruised my tongue worse. I’m still holding on, holding on.


2nd verse - been 8 months since I haven’t hit your line, do I ever seem to cross your fucking mind, not sure how you felt about it, pretty sure you’re fine. once the karma starts runnin, dont you dare waste my time. ugh how could you be so sure of thats what you want mm now, guess me relapsing meant nothing for you.


chorus- im still holding on to the thought i shouldn’t have let you go, opened up my heart to someone i didn’t even know, god really punished me and it mended us worse. Tried and I tried again but that only bruised my tongue worse. I’m still holding on, holding on.

SAN VALENTINE.

SOL JAY'S REMIX OF TEMS - NOT AN ANGEL

(LYRICS)

who was a loner, when you was with me?
thought you had given yourself for me
now, how you changing over?
i can’t move on now
no turning back, can’t see you without me

you don’t want me looking for you
as if i didn’t give enough, oh
overthinking every morning
it’s like i need you in my life, life

’cause you’re like an angel
but you're still a girl that don't know the truth
i want you to save me
even if you don’t know what i’ve been through

don’t cut your losses with me
i still need much more else from you
if you’re not an angel
then, i see why you ain’t do what you could do
i don’t need you to say you love me
i just need your loving
i love how you don’t prefer money
i seen your friend and i asked
“if, ‘fore she think bout leavin me, can you repeat this for me?”
right now, we still going forward
without your touch it’s torture, baby
you know your love, it do much things for me

you don’t want me looking for you
as if i didn’t give enough, oh
overthinking every morning
it’s like i need you in my life, life

'’cause you’re like an angel
but you’re still a girl that don’t know the truth
i want you to save me
especially if you don’t know what i’ve been through

see all the girls around me, 'round me
rather be calling you, "baby"
don’t think they love me, love me, love me
baby
they always come around
i'm tryna call only you, “baby”
‘cause they don’t know me, know me, like you know me

if you’re not an angel
at least you did all you could do
if you want to save me
help me forget what i’ve been through

not an angel #2 (prod. mains)

Von
Pull up and get him
That bullet ripped through his tissue and tore out his gristle
It was the nickel, and it's a Glock
And that bitch sound like a missile
He know I'm official
Doin' all that woofin' and shit, boy, you know I'ma get you
And when nobody with him
I wore a nine, the shoes and can't nobody fit 'em
I popped a Perky, a thirty
I'm higher than a bitch, boy, ain't nobody perfect
If I take a L, I'm back on that corner
I'm hustlin', ain't nobody servin'
Get booked 'cause somebody workin'
He told, I know that for certain
Get caught, I'm closin' his curtains
We scored another conversion
Designer, Givenchy
All of this ice on my wrist and it feel like it's Christmas
Speakin' of Christmas, come get your ho
I be climbin' all up in her chimney
We seein' the ho if she friendly
Ain't see him, he goin', he missin'
Won't see me in the back of a Bentley
Hop out and I'm blowin', it's rented
Walk up, ain't doin' no drive-bys
Your MVP, that bitch my sideline
Just a wild lil' nigga from the South side
Nigga killed your homie, you don't even come outside
Fucked your bitch on purpose
Them bows came in, we workin'
My song come on, she twerkin'
All the opps be broke, they hurtin'
My niggas, they too official
Send a text, they get right with you
Y'all was somewhere playin' Monkey in the Middle
We was tryna put on for some guns when I was little
If we still allowed, we gon' meet 'em and then split 'em
On the jail call, gotta talk in the riddle
Ho said she love me, she gon' tat my initials
Nigga move foul, get to blowin' like a whistle
Fuck that, let's talk about Louis, Amiri, and Gucci and Prada and shit
When I go to the store, they closin' the door and bringin' me bottles and shit
Fuck that, let's talk about that lil' one-fifty I spent with my lawyer wasn't shit
My gun don't punch, it kick
Get with this shit or get hit in your shit
Pull up and get him
That bullet ripped through his tissue and tore out his gristle
It was the nickel, and it's a Glock
And that bitch sound like a missile
He know I'm official
Doin' all that woofin' and shit, boy, you know I'ma get you
And when nobody with him
I wore a nine, the shoes and can't nobody fit 'em
Walk up, ain't doin' no drive-bys
Your MVP, that bitch my sideline
Just a wild lil' nigga from the South side
Nigga killed your homie, you don't even come outside
Fucked your bitch on purpose
Them bows came in, we workin'
My song come on, she twerkin'
All the opps be broke, they hurtin'

King Von - Broke Opps (Remix Dripboyz47k)

4 my parents <3

nothing lasts forever
I needed like one more time to tell you
I think about you
I'm always thinking bout you
you were gone since last September
I put you in a song I wrote bout embers
it's all about you
(it's all about you)

you taught me how to tie my shoes
and the best part of me's part of you
I saw you getting older
and I don't want it to be over
and I don't to go to sleep tonight, I don't
and if I ever had to turn back time, I would
cause I just need you right here by my side
it's you and I
and we'll never die
you were on my mind
you told me one last time
that you would love me more than I would know
you said the fix to my problems would be to take it slow
but I can't fix it tomorrow
it's sad it's all I know

nothing lasts forever
I needed like one more time to tell you
I think about you
I'm always thinking bout you
you were gone since last September
I put you in a song I wrote bout embers
it's all about you

nothing lasts

With a diehard audience earned the old-school way and modern rock anthems suited for the digital age, Throw The Fight celebrates two decades of passion and perseverance. Mixing soaring melodicism and heavy bombast without ever sacrificing hooks, the Minnesota outfit was built to last.

Songs like “Cover Your Tracks,” “Hourglass,” “Bury Me Alive,” and “Awakening” are undeniable bangers. They resonate with an urgent connection similar to the sound championed by the likes of I Prevail, Wage War, or A Day To Remember, with a unique creative voice shaped by the Midwest and over 20 years of experience. Close to 700,000 monthly listeners drove Throw The Fight to nearly 70 million streams on Spotify, where tastemaker playlists regularly introduce them to new listeners.

Frontman Kade Kastelitz, guitarists Ryan Baustert and Kris Weiser, and drummer Jeff Baustert make a career-defining statement with their breathtaking fifth album, Strangeworld. Produced by Josh Gilbert and Joseph McQueen (As I Lay Dying, Bad Wolves, Light The Torch, Upon A Burning Body), the record is a potent distillation of the strengths of their catalog and a huge step forward to the future. It’s the first Throw The Fight album released in collaboration with Long Branch Records and SPV.

“The album title refers to the odd state of the world we have all been living through these past few years,” Kastelitz offers. “Sometimes we can feel like we aren’t on the same planet anymore.”

The Strangeworld songs came together in Weiser’s cabin during the worldwide pandemic shutdown. Once the band honed the material to their liking, they headed to Sparrow Sound in Pasadena, California, with Gilbert (former bassist for As I Lay Dying and now in Spiritbox) and McQueen. “We worked quickly,” Ryan explains. “We did a lot of tracking before we arrived. We trimmed a lot of the excess and focused mostly on vocal production, really dialing that in, which
was our biggest change.” 

The band’s earliest rumblings drew from melodic punk and hardcore like Alkaline Trio and New Found Glory. Over the years, the crunch of New Wave Of American Metal acts like Killswitch Engage and the raucous rebellion of Every Time I Die found their way into their sound. Ultimately, Throw The Fight isn’t limited by genre conventions, opting to serve each song as the specific song demands. This made for an exciting, eclectic, diverse catalog connected by authenticity and dedication.

Throw The Fight independently sold thousands of their debut EP and topped the unsigned category of the community-driven Pure Volume. A magnetic live show, a determined work ethic, and an electric connection with crowds earned Throw The Fight an invitation to Vans Warped Tour early on. Grassroots support saw Alternative Press anoint them as an Unsigned Band To Watch in 2006.

Tours with Bullet For My Valentine, Black Veil Brides, and All That Remains; shows with Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach, and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus; festival appearances and headlining gigs introduced audiences to the power of the band’s sound as it evolved across four albums, and EPs.

The aptly titled In Pursuit of Tomorrow (2008) was an ambitious debut. The band collaborated with platinum producer John Feldmann (blink-182, Korn, The Used) on What Doesn’t Kill Us (2012), which boasted the unstoppable “Not So Hollywood,” among other highlights. Cryptic Rock declared Throw The Fight “better than ever, with heavier, catchier songs” on album three, Transmissions (2016).

Settle Your Sins (2020) saw longtime bassist and co-vocalist Kastelitz step up to the frontman position. His overwhelmingly captivating performances drove songs like “Paper Wings” and “Misery” to become new fan favorites, each powered equally by stellar musicianship and emotion. The 2021 acoustic EP, Inside Out, resulted in 2.7 million views for the “Wolves in the Dark” music video.

Strangeworld is just as powerful lyrically as it is musically. “Cover Your Tracks” kicks off the record with a call to action to question everything. “Hourglass” references the passage of time. “Moments are precious,” Kade says. “It’s a reminder to embrace life and be grateful for our limited time on this planet.” “Obey” resists forced complacency. “Lost Without You” deals with the grieving process.

“Sorry, Not Sorry” is “about releasing guilt for following your passions and dreams, realizing it’s not selfish. It’s self-care,” Kade explains. It’s a bold summary of what Throw The Fight represents. “It’s a ‘Strangeworld,’ but through music and art, we can express what we feel and deal with daily.”

Throw The Fight creating a record this powerful from a position of strength was no accident.

“We’ve consistently executed something every day for years and never quit,” Ryan says. “It doesn’t sound very exciting, but that’s the secret. That’s why we can still do this 20 years in. We maintained our independent, DIY work ethic from day one, continually doing things on our terms.”
