Our Ethos: A Legacy to Pass On Lyrics

Let's take it. [Whisper]

Let's take it back to the start again.
When we didn't have an ally in our heads.
When we only had a show to motivate us.
To keep us far from trouble.
Keep us guarded.
Simple words with a deeper meaning. Something to relate to
that we could call our own.
Collecting values from the generations who were here before us.
Now we must carry on.

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and to pass them on. Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.

I found a name for what I am.
I was searching, trying, to figure out why I did not belong.
It separates me from the rest.
That's the only thing that I identity with and I can still hear them saying!
Are you never alone?!

THIS IS A PLACE TO CALL OUR OWN!

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and to pass them on. Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let it go.
The time is now- to stand, be proud.
We all are part of something more.
Our ethos, don't let it go.
Don't let it...

Because when there is no one there to hear you, the music will listen.
And when there's no one there to tell, the words will write themselves.
So you say that this is trapping me.
Yeah, maybe I agree.
But there are ways in which I'm free that you will never be.

[Chad Gilbert]: Been around long enough by now to know I see things.
(See freely the most?).
But here like minds and souls surround. And I found a name for what I've always been.
So come with me if you feel what I feel.
We'll turn these words into something real.
Follow these footsteps, come into your own.
You'll never walk alone.
We'll never walk alone!

SO COME WITH US IF YOU FEEL WHAT WE FEEL.
WE'LL TURN THESE WORDS INTO SOMETHING REAL.
FOLLOW OUR FOOTSTEPS, COME INTO YOUR OWN.
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.
WE'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and to pass them on. Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.
The time is now- to stand, be proud.
We all are part of something more.
Our ethos, don't let it go.
Don't let it...

Let's take it back!

Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and to pass them on. Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.

Set Your Goals is a San Francisco, California based pop punk band with hardcore influences and two vocalists, formed in 2004. The band name comes from melodic hardcore band CIV's first album, Set Your Goals.

Set Your Goals released their first EP, Set Your Goals, on Straight On Records in May 2004. After signing with Eulogy Recordings, they re-released the EP under the name Reset on April 11, 2006 with vinyl released by Panic Records. Their first full length album, Mutiny was released on July 11, 2006. Set Your Goals released an acoustic version of their track Echoes on the Punk Goes Acoustic 2 compilation.

A cover of The Police's Message in a Bottle can be found on their MySpace and a cover of Lil' Jon's Put Yo Hood Up can be found on Punk Goes Crunk, released on Fearless records. In May 2008, they released a new song called The Fallen.

Set Your Goals performed as the backing band for Vinnie Caruana for a select number of The Movielife shows in the US and UK.

Set Your Goals reached a buy-out agreement with Eulogy Recordings in August of 2008. The band parted on bad terms, with co-vocalist Jordan Brown issuing the following statement on AbsolutePunk.net:
"These were not sent as bragging rights. Please do not buy Eulogy records, do not buy Set Your Goals merch from Eulogy's e-store. John has made an untraceable amount of money off of SYG's music and will continue to do so. We have never seen a dime. I have always said from day one that i don't do any of this for money, and i do not. But it does not sit well with me the amount of money he has kept from us (and many other bands). I could care less [sic] about seeing any of that money for myself, but i would rather it be with somebody or another band who deserves it more than John Wylie does. We cannot regain control of our Mutiny cd; the reset songs we will get back in another 3 years. For now he continues to milk Set Your Goals for what he can."

Following the previous statement, co-vocalist Matt Wilson hinted that their upcoming album may be self-released. However, in March 2009, the band announced their signing with Epitaph Records. Their second album, This Will Be the Death of Us, was released on July 21, 2009.
