The Big Fall - Lyrics - A Wilhelm Scream

A Wilhelm Scream is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Many people have referenced Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, and Strike Anywhere as the band's similar artists. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm Scream, a famous stock sound effect which mainly is used in films. The band previously went by the names Smackin' Isaiah, Koen, and Adam's Crack, though the former was the only name to be used in any major release. The reason for the name changes "from Koen to Smackin' Isaiah to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing maturing as a band". They have been called "the best hardcore band since Black Flag".

We've got our rope neckties. The light fixture shedding sawdust keeps us hanging on. Waiting for the movie rights to come, but nobody wants to see us bruised and modest, feeding off ourselves. Spent life avoiding all advice. Who'd have thought the bottom we know would be so low down. What did we do to get so f**ked round after round? I act like I knew it but sometimes I trick myself. I have these delusions that this time it will work out. From album to album, falling down. We're skidding down the mountain now, should have brought the megaphone. What keeps us hanging on? Our stomachs, screaming, realize that we'll just eat each other, and we're all starving now. We're all starving now.
