about

The new single What We Got blasts away from As A Rival’s usual vein of punk rock showing a maturity and diversity in their songwriting, delivering a power punk ballad that will hit even the hardest of hearts. It’s about when someone you love is struggling through a dark time in their lives, holding onto the tiniest of threads, and doing everything possible to comfort them through it. It is an anthem about holding on to the good around you when you’re almost ready to give in to the flames.

Pete Cerni, vocalist for the band, said that "There are times when we are tested - things that we love, that we live for are put to the sword and we’re left to question ‘is it all worth it’? It’s hard not to focus on the negative. It’s hard enough when it’s your own fight, but watching it happen to someone close to you can be debilitating and make you feel helpless. What We Got addresses the internal struggle that comes with failed attempts to try and comfort those in need."

lyrics

The fire you had
Was it enough to ignite?
When I said to calm down
Was there enough in my lungs?

We’re holding, holding
Onto what we’ve got
We’re holding, holding
Is it ever enough?

The stars have come out
Looking down on our luck
If only they were
Able to settle your mind
If they could settle your mind
If I could settle your mind…

We’re holding, holding
Onto what we’ve got
We’re holding, holding
Is it ever enough?

I say when everything’s ok
For what it’s worth now
Forever in the flames
I tried to take your pain away
But it’s never enough
Forever in the flames
