Best Song From IWrestledABearOnce


Just some basic information about IWrestledABearOnce

IWrestledABearonce is a metalcore band that was formed in 2007 in Shreveport, Louisiana. The band consisted of Steven Bradley, Mikey Montgomery, Mike Martin, Mike Stringer, and Krysta Cameron. Krysta Cameron (past vocalist) left the band due to her pregnancy, so Courtney LaPlante jumped in and became the full-time vocalist for the band. They have released 5 albums so far. 

Best Song = Green Eyes

I had a difficult time choosing what song is IwrestledABearOnce's best, but I chose their song called "Green Eyes" due to the precise beauty of it overall. 
Not only are Courtney's screams captivating, her clean vocals are as well. As cliche as this may sound, words seriously cannot describe how astonishing this song is. In a way, the instruments construct an eerie sound that sends shivers down my spine (might as well call this blog-post "Clicheville"). 

Anyway, the lyrics are absolute gold...

(lyrics to "Green Eyes")

No I have no love for a lie.
They are all rotten inside.
Payment is part of the smile.
Controlled and confined a predestined nature that sticks.
It rots the inside. The tree has been spoiled and splits.
Get down to the roots and see what they've wrought.
The branches reach out to nothing at all.
If you get down to the roots would you consume?
Disposable it makes you controllable.
If you only knew.
A falsified icon laid down where their eyes can consume you.
Harvest your power. Devour your spirit. Bound.
Fragile.
Ask yourself would you be?
If you get down to the roots and see hat they're swollen with poison. Would you still love them?
And if you only knew how they tied the noose around your neck would you still love them?
Would you still love?
No. I would not be grateful.
I wil not accept the fruit.
Would you get down to roots?
Could you pull up the roots or would you consume?


My favorite lines are: "If you get down to the roots and see that they're swollen with poison, would you still love them?", and, "And if you only knew how they tied the noose around your neck, would you still love them?"

Obviously "Green Eyes"
