10 years later babyyyy

LYRICS: There was a house in a field on the side of a cliff And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth So they ignore the warnings from the ships in the docks Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks (x2) Nothing can fix the building's flawed foundation The scaffolding and stilts were the laws and legislation This house was doomed, but they didn't care They'd invested in the system that was beyond repair When I was little I dressed up as an astronaut, and explored outer-space I dressed up as a superhero, and ran about the place I dressed up as a fireman, and rescued those in need I dressed up as a doctor, and cured every disease It was crystal clear to me back then that the only problems that I could face Would be the same problems that affect us all But of course this sense of common existence was sucked out of me in an instance As if from birth I could walk but I was forced to crawl So this an exciting time, to be alive Our generation's gotta fight, to survive It's in your hands now, this future! Our future, Our future! It's your future Ohhhhhhh MELTDOWN: This is 'gonna change everything (x3) System meltdown, meltdown, meltdown, meltdown Stand up How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive It's not too late, it's not too late (x3) Stand up! Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand Inside this sick foundation We've had the realisation Inside this sick foundation We've had the revelation Fuck all borders and fuck all boundaries Fuck all flags and fuck nationalities You've gotta give us a chance before we reach our System meltdown, meltdown, meltdown, meltdown Stand up How we gonna get through this alive?, get through this alive It's not too late, it's not too late (x3) Countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick Inside this sick foundation We've had the realisation Inside this sick foundation We've had the revelation We begin to learn to smile again Start to walk that extra mile again Cos I know that WE ARE ONE! It's not too late, it's not too late Stand up It's not too late, it's not too late Fear begins to vanish when we realise That countries are just lines, drawn in the sand with a stick!

They should, but I feel like a lot of ignorant people will think this is just anarchist and dismiss it because its not what conforms to their understanding of the world. And would also most likely not understand the nuances within the song.

That transition was actually amazing

Bro this hit hard in 2012 now it's 2023 and I'm 29 and cant believe just how sick this foundation is. Things are about to collaps. Let it burn and purify the grounds and let us rebuild on them!

Indeed, majors and other politicians are usually their lyrical targets! There's nothing like a good ol' Shikari song

Enter Shikari make me want to go out and do something to change the world, it's like they aren't just a band they are people trying to tell us how everyone can help and you aren't insignificant

This song is so much like a Metal Gear Rising boss theme stylistically and lyrically. I love blasting it while fighting Armstrong on the hardest difficulty.

still obsessed with this! ES for life

This song is more relevant now than ever

Meltdown of the financial system has finally arrived, 10 years before the album came out

Probably uploaded it because all the fans that wanted the album will have already bought it, so putting it on youtube can help more people come across the album that wouldn't have before and then they may want to buy it themselves. The more people listening to Shikari the better!

2:17 Dem Chills Down my spine!!

This song has aged very well. Still very relevant

11yrs later. Im still here 🫶🙌

Oh how relevant this song is for us now.. won't stop coming back to this whole anthem of an album.

They're not getting money from youtube though, they haven't got any ads on the videos. So they're probably just doing this so anyone who hasn't actually got the album can get a lower quality version.

I come from the future, uploading full albums for free (streaming) has become the most way of consuming music nowadays. Artist get their benefits for their views, concerts and merchandising products. It's not the end of the world, just the consumer habits have changed :)

Because they may as well collect money from youtube views on their album rather than people uploading it to their channel instead. Some people are content with youtubes shitty quality.

If the EU ever get the idea to update our anthem, and if they asked Europeans for propositions, I'd start a campaign to use this 2 songs combined.
