Not many musicians influenced by punk, hardcore and metal
are also well versed in poetry, literature and comparative
religion. Then again, not many musicians are in Senses Fail.
While dozens of their peers continue to create
soul-rendering music about the girls who shattered their
hearts and ruined their lives, the Bergen County, New
Jersey five piece takes a more intellectual approach to
sonic catharsis. Even the name Senses Fail comes from
frontman Buddy Nilelsen's interest in spirituality.
"In Hinduism, they believe that being alive is hell, and
the only way to each Nirvana is to ultimately have no
attachments to anything," he explains. "So, people go out
and live in the middle of the woods and they don't eat and

------ About the song Lost And Found performed by Senses Fail
this song means so much to me, actually...I can relate to it cause last 8 months I've been going through different shit.
by my opinion...he did something that he should feel sorry for, but he doesan't cause there are other reasons that make him feel good. Altough his conscience still pursues him.

------ About the song Can't Be Saved performed by Senses Fail
If you guys ask me I think that the song is a song. It can have a different meaning to anyone depending on how you interpret the words from your point of view or you prespective. Mainly we base our interpritations on our beliefs or sumthing that we're going through at the time. but I do belive that this whole argument is a little bit stupid and child-like. I don't care what other people believe, I'm gonna believe what I believe and let others go about their own way. If they want to publicly anounce what they belive that is their right and I don't have a problem with it. And if they want to keep to themselves that's fine to.
But all in all I think that this is an awesome song & I'm gonna keep listening to these guys. I like the lyrics and music so it's all good. Have a great day everyone. or year. or month. or watever.

So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found?
I kept my word when I swore that I would let you down.
(And now that I'm gone) Try to forget me and just move on.

emo? | Reviewer: James
------ About the song Bloody Romance performed by Senses Fail
Senses Fail are amazing, there's nothing emo about them.
but how can you call ANYONE emo? that's not a fair stereotype.
I've cut myself a LOT. and I am one of the most fun, happy and hilarious people you could ever hope to meet. people deal with stress in different ways and cutting is just one of those ways, especially for someone who's not used to that feeling and has few people to turn to.
it's not "emo", it's human.
These lyrics are perfect. Slow dance is far diferrent. I have the whole album on my Ipod so I should know. "And the stream will break" second line of Slow Dance. Not in NJ falls Into The Atlantic. So ha.

this kind of pisses me off. isn't this a song review thing? i'll save my beliefs for when i'm evangelizing. i mean, seriously. . . do you guys come back to see what the other people responded with (i'm not going to)? ! this isn't facebook.

------ About the song Can't Be Saved performed by Senses Fail
Come on guys! This is crazy! Why are you guys getting all mad over all this stuff. I've read your reviews stella and i understand where you are coming from. It makes sense that you would get angry about that stuff. Now this review is not to get all "preachy" but you should know that i am a believer in Christ and am proud of it :) I dont think that God wants Christians to be all critical and act better than all the rest of the world. In that respect i am sorry that Christians have given you all the reputation!! That is definitely not what we should be doing!
One thing that made me very frustrated though were those people that are Christians and yet write certain words and phrases on their reviews. I would ask u guys to look at Ephesians 4:29 and really think about what it is saying.
And Andyroo, if you want to ask your questions feel free to let me know! I would love to talk with you about it.
If you guys want to talk let me know!

------ About the song Four Years performed by Senses Fail
This song is so sad... but, like most of Senses Fail, I love it, and appreciate that it wouldn't be Senses Fail if it wasn't sad. Loved the new album. It's so nice to see these guys continuing to mature with age.
On that whole topic of emo & lookin the part, I'm black, I dress like I'm black, if I didn't open my mouth I talk like I had a brain you wouldn't think anything of me. I was such a good musician that I could have played my Ibanez EDB 405 professionally if there was better money in that field. But I chose to dedicate the rest of my life to the automotive industry. & in fact, I still prefer nu metal & hardcore over hip hop/ rap ANY DAY.
This song is a good eye opener to how short life really is. The emo/screamo thing REALLY helps get that point across. Great lyrics & metaphors. I like the riffs that are in the parts like the verses too.
Senses Fail is AMAZING

------ About the song Can't Be Saved performed by Senses Fail
People like Mike and Andy are giving Christians a bad name. See, there's the sane, regular Christian who mostly keeps to himself, and then there's the crazy Christian who forces their beliefs on others. Don't listen to these ignorant pricks. Everyone should keep their beliefs to themselves.

Mike are you stupid? | Reviewer: Austin
------ About the song Can't Be Saved performed by Senses Fail
Mike are you stupid? ignorant? yes you are. Going to hell? i hope so. People like you who would preach forgiveness and all these good qualities of man through the bible and then turn around a criticize someone's lifestyle make me sick. The bible WAS MADE BY PEOPLE this is irrefutable. Inspired by god? maybe, unprovable but believable if you believe. You cannot state that god is omnipotent and all powerful and then turn around and claim that he created people wrongly. Even if, for some stupid reason, you disagree with homosexuality if you where really a christian you would still accept them for who they are. Trying to push your supposedly "righteous" ideas on others has always resulted in death and ignorance "in the name of the lord"
If you have an opinion like yours you have no right to discriminate against people over it if you are a real christian.
I think it was in the 1980's, although i'd have to look it up to be sure, scientists discovered a gene present only in people who display homosexual behavior. The fact remains people cannot completely control who they are attracted to. You probably also think that evolution never happened and that we magically appeared. There is plenty of room for science and religion to come together. However people need to rethink the relationship knowing what we know now. After all when the bible was written people where being killed in the name of god, women where slaves, people thought objects where made up of triangles and other assorted shapes, and oh yeah it was acceptable for older men to have sexual relations with young boys as long as they gave them gifts. I advise you rethink your very poor understanding of god that has clearly been shoved down your throat while you where to stupid to think about it at all by equally ignorant people. If anyone is going to hell it will be you for your unwavering bigotry, ignorance, and general stupidity.
for other i'm sorry for the rant but people like this drive me crazy. Also i am a guy who despite my best efforts at women finds myself also attracted to men. I have never been able to help it and even for a while felt ashamed about it due to religion and society. I forgive you mike, but you in no way deserve it. I would be a lot more terrible in tearing you a new one for your ignorance but i do believe people have a right to an opinion, even if it is unsubstantiated and ignorant. If there is a god as you see him think of this. He knows what he wants and only he can communicate it so until you have an experience talking to god where he talks back i'd suggest you stop believing everything you hear and think for yourself and take a little initiative to sort though the crap and find what is really right.
If you listen to "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues," "Negative Space," and "The Priest and the Matador" all in succession it sort of makes sense. In part of All the Best Cowboys it says;
"I take the stairs to the very top floor
I paid the super to leave open the door
A perfect sunset is sinking in the sky
I know my body is ready to fly
I start the countdown back wards from ten
When I reach one my family name will end
Falling down as windows pass I start to cry
And curse the day my parents laid
In a bed of hopelessness where love was made
Please mark my grave unknown"
Saying he went to the top of a building and jumped off essentially.
Negative Space, to me, is like just the time he has to think about what he's done/what's about to happen before he hits the ground.
Then Priest and the Matador is like the aftermath.
It talks about how he's still alive for a while. To the priest he essentially says, "I have no faith in you, I don't care. Leave me alone and let me die"
All three songs are most definitely connected.
I would like to state that this is my opinion. I'm NOT saying I'm right. Just what I think.
Meaning | Reviewer: XXxxDeathrow1226XXxx
------ About the song Still Searching performed by Senses Fail
I think this song speaks too alot of people but I think the true meaning too this song is for people with meantal disorders such as Bi polar disorder, Major depression etc
the lyrics speak it out such as "I take a pill every day to help me deal with life"
"I stare at accidents in a sick attempt
to FEEL AT ALL"
"my best friend is a man with a lab coat and a grin
I hold my shaking hand and he gives me medicine
it almost makes me feel at home
but they slowly steal my soul
I tell him I still feel alone
"Don't worry someday I promise you will feel whole."

------ About the song Bloody Romance performed by Senses Fail
This song and the band in general are so amazing, but who cares if they are emo or not? I honestly wouldn't mind if they are. It's still music, and their music is amazing. They're still people.
I hate emo poseurs as much as anyone, they're annoying as hell, but just let them embarrass themselves. The point is, Senses Fail is fucking amazing, their music is actually meaningful unlike other singers who sing about things that we don't need.
This song gets to my heart, seeing its about parents divorcing. My parents recently got divorced so I know what its saying. Let the romance bleed away. <3

------ About the song Bloody Romance performed by Senses Fail
The lyrics to this song are utter vomit BUT (and a BIG BUT at that), toss all that "don't judge me for listening to this" shit out because this is simply good music!
Among the tops of the genre...
Love the outro...
One of my many favorites.
We all have our differences in the way we think of this song and many others. It does matter what the song is about, but I'm thinking that people aren't going to listen to it because you tell them that 'he fell from heaven and was shot to hell' or 'he was suicidal'. No... the point is that the lyrics are captivating, and the music is easy on the ears.
Now, all you that genuinely care about the meaning, go ahead and keep thinking what you want to think, you're entitiled to your own opinion, I'm just saying what I personally think, that the meaning isn't really a big deal.
