i liked Elysia's older shit when they were more punk but their new shit is way too generic bullshit hardcore/deathcore
idk i just cant get into such simplistic music and unlike punk, hardcore has no real message or social commentary its just a bunch of pissed of kids that don't have anything to really be mad at
Elysia was never anywhere near punk... in their demos they were like Bring Me The Horizon. Their album "Masochist" is fantastic. I love it. Their most recent album blows.

well give me some "real hardcore" bands and ill look up their lyrics
cuz American Me certainly doesn't
Hardcore in a nutshell is all the shittiest elements of punk mixed with all the shittiest elements of metal thrown into a blender
Here's some older school hardcore.
Subzero - Lionhearted
I HAD TO FIGHT FOR MY LIFE
I HAD TO STRUGGLE JUST TO STAY ALIVE
I ALMOST DIED TWO FUCKING TIMES BUT I-
I OVERCAME CAUSE THIS WORLD IS MINE
I'M IN REMISSION AND FULL OF NEW LIFE
WONT FLINCH AT DEATH, I'LL STAND AND FIGHT
BORN WITH THESE FEELINGS DEEP INSIDE OF ME
BORN WITH THIS PURPOSE I EXIST TO BE
NEVER GIVE IN
DON'T EVER LET THE STRUGGLE BRING YOU DOWN
KEEP YOUR MIND FOCUSED
AND WITH THAT THIS WORLD IS YOURS
IN MY LIFE I'VE FELT THE VERY WORST OF PAINS
KNOCKED TO THE GROUND, BUT I GET BACK UP AGAIN
SO MANY TIMES I HAD TO PAY THE HIGHEST PRICE
STOOD UP TO DEATH AND LOOKED HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYES
I'VE WALKED THE PATH THAT MOST OF YOU WOULD TRULY DOUBT
DAY BY DAY, THAT'S WHAT MY LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
DON'T EVER COMPROMISE YOUR LIFE FOR ANYONE
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR LIFE IS GONNA COME
chorus:
COURAGE, STRENGTH, PRIDE
I'M LION HEARTED
COURAGE, STRENGTH, PRIDE
I'M LION HEARTED
LIONS BLOOD FLOWS STRAIGHT THROUGH MY VEINS
I'VE GOT THE COURAGE AND I'VE GOT THE STRENGTH
TATTOOED MY NAME CAUSE I'M FUCKIN PROUD OF WHO I AM AND WHAT I'M ABOUT
TATTOOED MY NAME CAUSE I'M FUCKIN PROUD OF WHO I AM AND WHAT I'M ABOUT
MY HEART IS BOLD AND MY BLOOD IS RED
I OVERCAME AND I CHEATED DEATH
AND NOW I HOLD THE WISDOM OF A THOUSAND YEARS
IN THIS WORLD I KNOW NO FEAR
I'VE GOT THE COURAGE AND I'VE GOT THE STRENGTH
I'VE GOT THESE FEELINGS DEEP INSIDE MY VEINS
TATTOOED MY NAME CAUSE I'M FUCKIN PROUD OF WHO I AM AND WHAT I'M ABOUT
MY HEART IS BOLD AND MY BLOOD IS RED
I OVERCAME AND I CHEATED DEATH
AND NOW I HOLD THE WISDOM OF A THOUSAND YEARS
IN THIS WORLD I KNOW NO FEAR
IN THIS WORLD I KNOW NO FEAR
You're right. There's absolutely no meaning behind these lyrics.
