A cover of "Barricades" from the Attack on Titan OST by Caleb Downs, aka reo
Buy: reomusic.bandcamp.com/track/barricades
Listen: soundcloud.com/reo_musicc/barricades
I only recently heard the song with vocals, and it blew me away. It's now my favorite Attack on Titan song. I started working on the instrumental the next day and I'm very happy with that too. Based on the lyrics, I think it's Armin's song (despite it playing at Utgaard Castle :P). Enjoy! Happy 4th of July, and the new AoT game stuff releases tomorrow!

Lyrics:
Wouldn't it be nice to take walk on some pure white sand?
Gaze at the horizon without living in fear?
Wouldn't it be sweet to watch the sun curve down, meets the waves?
And taste the ocean spray, and realize we'd been living as slaves
We gotta learn to get back, get back
But is it worth the price of our soul?
You know you had to kill her, kill her
Oh, my dirty hands, it never fades
And if we get out, get out
I'll think about the price of our soul
We gotta learn to live free, live free
We'll live a life without barricades
How long I haven't seen the light shine through in my life
Lost everything, family, confusion on the way
Someone tries to talk to me and signpost the righteous road
My animal inside can now be tamed to go over the wall
We gotta learn to get back, get back
But is it worth the price of our soul?
You know you had to kill her, kill her
Oh, my dirty hands, it never fades
And if we get out, get out
I'll think about the price of our soul
We gotta learn to live free, live free
We'll live a life without barricades
We gotta learn to get back, get back
But is it worth the price of our soul?
You know you had to kill her, kill her
Oh, my dirty hands, it never fades
And if we get out, get out
I'll think about the price of our soul
We gotta learn to live free, live free
We'll live a life without barricades

Me covering this song in NO way whatsoever is me claiming I am better than Nate - hell, even claiming Im anywhere near him - he is my all-time favorite artist and I aspire to be as good as he is. I love this song so much and I decided to transcribe it, and since I did the instrumental custom, I thought why not cover it.

Lyrics:
Its underneath my skin ,these god forsaken memories
The puppet takes the stage, hell carry on
Forgotten who I am, but all the world keeps telling me
It may be where you live but its not your home
Ive got a one-way ticket straight outta here and I dont know where it goes
Its not the destination, its the crawl
Was it out of love or out of fear? if you ask me, I dont know
You forget how to want once youve had it all
You cant take me anywhere, you cant take me anywhere
Ive got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you cant take me anywhere
Its underneath my skin, an ache thats still reminding me
A night where everythings not as it seems
A thousand whitened smiles, but none contain no empathy
Paper thin, theyre seeing right through me, woah!
Ive got a one-way ticket straight outta here and I dont know where it goes
Ignore the rise but everyone sees you fall
Was it out of love or out of fear? If you ask me, I dont know
You forget how to want once youve had it all
You cant take me anywhere, you cant take me anywhere
Ive got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you cant take me anywhere
Its easy to see it, too hard to believe it
But once in awhile, youve just gotta come clean
Now you try to hide it, but you cant deny it
Its falling apart, tearing up at the seams
I give you my best, secretly Im a mess
But sooner or later, its bound to rise
Theres so many warnings that Ive been ignoring
Now were shutting down...
You cant take me anywhere, you cant take me anywhere
Ive got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you cant take me anywhere
You cant take me anywhere (Take me anywhere)
You cant take me anywhere (Take me anywhere)
Ive got a way back home and an open door
To everything I left face down on the floor
You know you cant take me anywhere (Take me anywhere!)")

I adored this game and I am so glad they ported it to Steam. The song is a beautiful song and I had a go at it, so I hope you enjoy.
LYRICS:
You stood, always smiling,
Ever quiet, ever tender
And I, a lost child
Always frightened, I remember
That you came and found me
Blinded by unshed tears
The tears we cry are echoes
That tell what tomorrow can hold
And I wept in your arms
And I heard
Bells ring out across the land,
Bringing peace at last,
To your heart my dearest friend!
And now, the love that you gave me
Blooms and will evolve!
Through the tears in us all without end...

So we KNOW some of the lyrics are incorrect. Unfortunately, in our own specific places, we sang the wrong lyrics enough that we learned them as right, and they still fit the song. We decided to change the key, as well. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Katie, dont cry, I know
Youre trying your hardest
And the hardest part is letting
Go of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling and you know its haunting
But compared to your eyes
Nothing shines quite as bright
And when we look to the sky
Its not mine, but I want it so
Lets not pretend like youre alone tonight
I know hes there, and
Youre probably hanging out and making eyes
From across the room he stares
Ill bet he gets the nerves to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and shell say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess, but I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you Ill be miserable at best
Youre all that I hoped Id find
In every single way
And everything I would give
Is everything you couldnt take
Cause nothing feels like home,
Youre a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
Cause I know Im good for something
I just havent found it yet, but I need it
Lets not pretend like youre alone tonight
I know hes there, and
Youre probably hanging out and making eyes
From across the room he stares
Ill bet he gets the nerves to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and shell say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess, but I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you Ill be miserable at best
La da da, la da da da da, la da da, whoa, ohhh
And thisll be the first time in a week
That Ill talk to you and I cant speak
Its been three whole days since Ive had sleep
Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that Im not that strong and
I miss the lips that made me fly
Lets not pretend like youre alone tonight
I know hes there, and
Youre probably hanging out and making eyes
From across the room he stares
Ill bet he gets the nerves to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and shell say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess, but I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you Ill be miserable
And I can live without you but
Without you Ill be miserable
And I can live without you but
Whoa, without you Ill be miserable at best...")
