About This Track

'The Answer' by Beartooth is a 2021 Hard Rock track from the album 'Below'. The lyrics press on deception and self confrontation, repeatedly returning to the demand to “say you have the answer”, while moving into images of looking at a future self and arguing in the mirror. The narrator talks up the act of scrutinising flaws, holding on to a sense that certainty has to be forced out of someone, somewhere, even if it is only another lie.

"The Answer" is a track by Beartooth, from the album Below, released 24th June 2021. The track is 3:40 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Beartooth.

Lyrics

The Answer

(Lie to me, say you have the answer)
(Lie to me, say you have the answer)
(Lie to me, say you have the answer)
Lie to me, say you have the answer!

I've been staring in the eyes of my future self
Conversations in the mirror with somebody else
Only looking for the flaws, I'm holding
Taking shots and I keep reloading

Shine a light, help me find myself

Pulling away from my emotions now
Feeling a change in my devotion now
I feel like I'm crumbling under the pressure
Just lie to me, say you have the answer
(Have the answer)
(Have the answer)
(Have the answer)

I've been burning all the books that created me
Choosing silence to escape my insecurity
But the quiet only makes me crazy
It's a pattern and it's never changing

Shine a light, help me find myself

Pulling away from my emotions now
Feeling a change in my devotion now
I feel like I'm crumbling under the pressure
Just lie to me, say you have the answer
(Have the answer)
(Have the answer)
(Have the answer)

There's a spark in the dark, it's all that I can see
Give me everything you got, try to take it from me

Pulling away from my emotions now
Pulling away from my emotions now
Pulling away from my emotions now
Feeling a change in my devotion now
I feel like I'm crumbling under the pressure
Just lie to me, say you have the answer

I'm crumbling under the pressure! (I'm crumbling, I'm crumbling)
(I'm crumbling under the pressure)
I'm crumbling under the pressure! (I'm crumbling, I'm crumbling)
(I'm crumbling under the pressure)
I'm crumbling, I'm crumbling
I'm crumbling under the pressure
I'm crumbling, I'm crumbling
I'm crumbling under the pressure
