Nothing More Implore You to ‘Turn It Up Like’ With Raging New Song
With Nothing More recently announcing a co-headline tour with Asking Alexandria, it'd be great to have some new music. Well, ask and you shall receive, as the Jonny Hawkins-led band is firing up listeners with the raging new song "Turn It Up Like."
The song is a true band collaboration, with songwriting credits going to all four of their band members, and it's inspired by something that they as well as most of the world can relate to equally. "All my friends are dead / They all got fucked by the internet / All my friends are dead / Our brain’s bein’ bugged by the media," starts the song, speaking to the increasing dependence and focus on digital media, especially as the pandemic cut down on our connections to the outside world.
Hawkins says of the track, “This song is a reflection of how we all felt for the last two years, online. Fear and hate have become our god.”
That ideal is mirrored in the aggressive music that accompanies the lyrics, a blend of tribal electronic and guitar-driven heaviness eventually channeled into Hawkins' screaming delivery. Get a closer look at the lyrics and hear the song in full below. If you like what you hear, the track is available at this location.
Nothing More, "Turn It Up Like" Lyrics
Stand in the fire and become what you are
We sayTurn it up like…
All my friends are dead
They all got fucked by the internet
All my friends are dead
Our brain’s being bugged by the media
Get outta my head, outta my head
Put me in a microwave
Push all the buttons at the same timeRage!
Rage!
Rage!Same shit, new day
Switch flipped, sweet rage
Turn it up!
Now we’re takin’ names
We sayTurn it up like…
It’s my life, my way
I’m on fire, sweet rage
Turn it up!
Now we’re takin’ names
We say…There’s no need for violence, if ya die in your sleep
There’s no need to make a scene “We told you what to believe”All my friends are dead
Our brain’s bein’ bugged by the government
Get outta my head, outta my head
Put me in a microwave
Push all the buttons at the same timeRage!
Rage!
Rage!Same shit, new day
Switch flipped, sweet rage
Turn it up!
Now we’re takin’ names
We sayTurn it up like…
It’s my life, my way
I’m on fire, sweet rage
Turn it up!
Now we’re takin’ names
We sayTurn it up like…
All my friends are dead
We all got fucked by the internet
All my friends are dead
We want this shit to end
Get outta my head, outta my head
Put me in a microwave
Push all the buttons at the same timeSame shit, new day
Switch flipped, sweet rage
Turn it up!
Now we’re takin’ names
We saySame shit, new day
Switch flipped, sweet rage
Turn it up!
Now we’re takin’ names
We sayTurn it up like…
It’s my life, my way
I’m on fire, sweet rage
Turn it up!
Now we’re takin’ names
We sayTurn it up like…
Fear, hate become their god
Fear, hate become my god
