The Man has come around!

The sleepless nights, the desperate calls, the empty road
I'm spitting blood, I'm staring down a broken nose
I'm sick to death of standing in the bitter cold
They'll rue the day they let me hit a new low
'Cause I'm no one's shadow

I felt the lights and I'm not going back there
I talk to your ghost every night in my sleep
And I say I'm through playing dead, man, I don't care
You can block the exits, I ain't flinching
Bayside built me!

The pressure builds, it bottles up and it explodes
It rips you out of orbit like a black hole
I'll burn it down and watch as something better grows
And drag you toward the future with your eyes closed
'Cause I'm no one's shadow

I felt the lights and I'm not going back there
I talk to your ghost every night in my sleep
And I say I'm through playing dead, man, I don't care
You can block the exits, I ain't flinching
Bayside built me!
You can block the exits, I ain't flinching
Bayside built me!

I only listened to the song on Spotify and hadn't viewed the YouTube video, so I didn't know the lyrics were there.

I know I'm in the minority, but I really enjoy this song, and I know the lyrics are deep for Becky since it's the story of her life, career, and even the cute little reference to her daughter that apparently made her cry when she heard it.

I'm also in that minority. This is one of my favorite themes to come out of WWE in a very long time for all the reasons you mentioned...and because The Wonder Years are from the city I now live in, so it's great to see local guys who have been grinding it out on the music scene for years get this kind of opportunity. It makes me wish more mainstream bands did entrance music on a regular basis.

I like this song too and I think it's better than Celtic Invasion.

It's different but I am not a fan of it.

To me when I listen to it, I just find it hard picturing Becky coming down to the ring with this theme. Even on TV when she does it just seems off when she enters and tries her best to find the way to "walk to the beat".
