Lyrics
They tried to bury us
They didn’t know we were
Seeds
They didn't know we were
They didn't know we were
It’s been a rough start
Been a rough start
All this got me feeling displaced
They keep us in the dark
Keep us in the dark
But I get this feeling it’s about to change
While they’ve been pushing us low
We’ve been making this grow
We know something they don’t
Gonna reap what they sow
They tried to water us down
Just gave us what we need
Shoved us underground
It just set us free
They tried to bury us
They didn’t know we were
Seeds
They didn't know we were
They didn't know we were
From the ashes
From the mud
We just keep climbing on up
Started grassroots
And now we everywhere
Spreading like wildfire
Spreading like wildflowers
We’ll go up in flames and down in history
As the ones who break through to find the sun
Creative Director: Jess Hutchison
Video Production: Darkwater Productions
Produced by David Thulin
Co-Produced by Shawn Jump
Mixed by Romesh Dodangoda

The genius of burying the 'seeds' part below the instrumentals, the fact that it's seeds and not coal into diamonds (it works SO MUCH BETTER), dare I say I DIG IT
@fireblade295

I'm used to fucked up lyrics, so thought someone messed up the lyrics in the description, until I realized she is saying seeds alongside the instrumental part.
I interpret this song as a band's statement about their experience in and after the corporate music industry. The record label tried to make IFH do stuff they didn't want to do ("They tried to water us down"), which eventually gave IFH courage to go leave the label and go independent ("Just gave us what we need, dropped us underground, that just sets us free"). The start of their independent phase was, naturally, a risk ("This been a rough start , been a rough start") but their first independent album proved to be a sucess ("From the ashes, from the mud, we just keep climbing on up"), the success continued ("Spreading like wild flowers"). And with the Amorphous they are prepared to "Go up in flames" and - most importantly - "down in history, as the ones who break through to find the sun". There are, of course, other ways to interpret the lyrics, but personally I like this one.

Red faced something similar until going independent. Not only do I suspect that they are underpaid, but there must be limits on their creative direction.

Yeah this sounds like a solid interpretation. I also think this song will give hope to any average person that feels like people around them are pushing them down and trying to silence them. Their potential can’t be destroyed, and the efforts to shut them down will only fuel a meteoric rise.

You mean two lines they have ready used in songs before? Up in flames the song and then bam bam pop for down in history and from what I remember she says down in history or a variation of that in several other songs.
Recently, Icon for Hire has just been telling us to stop having a terrible year. And I love it
They did - they tried to bury you, but look at you soar - literally best band on the planet right now. Every song is #1 worthy if the charts were representative of decent music. So proud of you both. Ariel - voice & lyrics amazing. Shawn - best songwriter on the planet right now!
Never fails. There is not 1 single song by icon for hire that I don’t like. Thanks Shawn and Ariel. You guys keep me going
Wow, I’m blown away by Icon for Hire’s new album! Now I understand why the album is called Amorphous... because they brought their A game!!! ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️

I am so in love with IFH. Ariel, every song 🎵 you create is so precious and powerful with such honesty and vulnerability. You guys are so unique the way you write about mental illness and the struggles that come with it. My mental health problems will take time to get past, but I will grow past the darkness to reach the light. I am a seed. I am part of the ICON ARMY! #seeds #iconforhire #alternativerock #alternativemusic #mentalhealth #independentartists #independentmusic #strength #growth #light
The Chorus is so freaking catchy. I love it 😍😍😍
This is super reminiscent of Falling in reverse's more recent stuff, and its killer! love it!

Little more the reminiscent.. look at their song Drugs. it's the same sound chunk. i played both of them and my husband asked if one just didn't have words...
I'm crying so hard. Not only this is amazing, but this is exactly what I needed. I am so proud of them
Got my reminder set for 1! Been a fan since i stumbled on "get well" went to their concert at the tla in philly and been blasting them ever since. Even got my 2 daughters into them. Keep it up, Icon army for life!!
Icon for Hire's musical diversity never fails to amaze me. All the tracks we've heard from the new album thus far are just so different. Really looking forward to what other surprises you have prepared!
This is my fave song. When I feel down I listen to this and then I feel like the boss I am!!
Stitched Up Heart, Icon For Hire, and Sumo Cyco would be a HELL of a concert line up

Been a fan for 4 years now. Love this song and i hope you guys are doing well.Dont give up making music your songs always gaved me courage and helped me thru hard times. I will always support you.
God this rock-electronic-futuristic vibe fits them so much... I am loving this album! It's great to see some new heavy songs! Keep up the good work guys! Lots of love from Brazil
See I love the rock focused with electronic fused sounds involved. I can respect and give them nothing but love for doing their own thing and changing with what they want but stuff like this and their first album are just too damn good. Loved your first and second albums, this sounds like it’s going back to your first 2 and for my Personal tastes I might listen more often
Oh, I am LOVING the themes and motifs in this song ALREADY. Talking of uprising, resistance, and revolution through nature- plants and fire and earth? GORGEOUS. I really hope you already have an acoustic version in the works- the lyrics are too perfect to keep them off my writing and character playlists!! Who else can't WAIT for the new album??
I love the play on words with wildfire and wildflowers. I love icon for hire's lyrics.
I feel like sometimes Icon for Hire is ... unadventurous, and they just make yet another song re-stating the same thing over and over (eg. "if everyone's crazy, crazy isn't so crazy"). But then sometimes they get out of their comfort zone, and make something brave and new (even if it is full of references to old songs)... and we get an AMAZING song like this one! Kudos to them for being brave and adventurous on this track: it certainly paid off.

I so love this group,she has a great voice and says so much of whats going on inside my mind..
Ariel, you straight up are giving my soul what it needs right as I need it! It seems like every piece you are putting out just hits as something that I need this year!
This is a sign saying that 2021 is going to be just fine
being buried and then because of that, just grow stronger- that's GENIUS, and true
This band can always help me when im down there lyrics are magic and true
i love this song! it makes me feel like the main character in a book
this 10/10 should be the opening song at the concert cause the energy is ABSOLUTELY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I missed this kind of music videos❤❤❤❤❤
I can't stop listening to it
This songs is amazing shall vibe with this song for the night
Yay!!!! Hi Ariel!!!! Love you!!! Thank for inspiring music! Super excited!
Just sit down, watch this and learn from IFH how to live when the world and people around you try to ruin you. You're the only one who can make the decission either to allow it or fight with everything you have. Don't let them or that demons that haunting your mind to make decissions for you or force you to feel worthless. Every life matters, even yours. You just need to open your eyes on that idea. That was lesson that I learned in a hard way, but the songs of Icon For Hire gave me the strenght to get through this. I'm alive. And I'm happy. Thank you for that. Now it's your turn.
When it's just the premiere of the song but you already know that you have a new ringtone taken care of
Even though I’m heartbroken that my favorite channel on KZread, Unus Annus, is ending today, this absolute banger of a song from one of my all time favorite bands, makes it a little easier to bare. Memento Mori.
I'm so proud of these two ❤️
Today has not been a great day but this has really made it better. So glad I discovered this band.
It Is so great guys! I love it! thankyou for doing this Friday the worthiest!
So many new songs in November, definitely love it!
This song's is amazing!!. Is given me goosebumps. Seeds!!. 💪
Super dig it you two, thanks for a good Friday morning :)
It's been so many years since I first found you guys and you still continue to amaze me, love all the hard work you guys put into all of this. You guys were the first and only band I've seen live and it was an incredible experience, if it weren't for the plague I'd be tempted to get out and see you guys again next time you're in Minnesota.

I love you guys. Found you guys i think.... I actually don't remember how long is been. I think it was right around your scripted release..... But it's definitely been a long time and you've helped through some very rough patches. I'm in one now. But I'm still thankful that you guys are around and still making music.
