The easy thing is to accept the status quo, but Nothing More are not about taking the easy route. The band is back with the thought-provoking new single "Tired of Winning," which serves as the lead single from their forthcoming studio album, and it takes a closer glance at how we deal with the problems of the world, all soundtracked by a pulsing and anthemic backing.

Singer Jonny Hawkins says of the track, "We find ourselves in the same position humanity has found itself over and over again… at the end of a series of self made problems. When we wake up to this, we realize that we are our own worst enemy, yet we focus so much of our energy on externalizing our problems. This song is a bird's eye view of human nature."

It's a heavy track with some equally intense lyrical content. The vocalist adds, "This may sound a bit lofty, but when I sing this song I feel as if the entire universe is coursing through my veins. I get goosebumps because I feel in line with something I can’t quite describe… like an old familiar spirit shows up."

As for the sound, Hawkins says it's very much inhabited by the spirit imbued in their Robyn August-directed video. "We wanted it to sound like aliens had a baby with a 90’s rock band. That baby grew up, dropped out of college and made our music video," says the singer.

Get a closer look at the lyrics as well as the sci-fi influenced video below, and if you like what you hear, the song is available via the platform of your choosing here. And look for Nothing More hitting the road with Asking Alexandria next month at these stops.

Nothing More, "Tired of Winning" Lyrics

God got tired of winning
And that’s why we’re here
He wanted a surprise ending
And that’s why we fear

Objects in the sky descending
Objects in the sky detecting
So will we steer this ship straight through the void
Or turn on ourselves and die out?

Are you tired of winning?
‘Cause it’s already over
We were never enough
Are you tired of winning?
No one’s coming to save us
Are you going to live this life alone?

The devil’s cut is the angel’s envy
That’s why we're lusting

The truth is never the fantasy
That’s why we bend things

Objects in the sky descending
Objects in the sky detecting
So will we steer this ship straight through the void
Or turn on ourselves and die out?

Are you tired of winning?
‘Cause it’s already over
We were never enough
Are you tired of winning?
No one’s coming to save us
Are you going to live this life alone?

How will we hear the truth cut through the noise?
Or do we drown ourselves all out?

Are you tired of winning?
‘Cause it’s already over
We were never enough
Are you tired of winning?
No one’s coming to save us
Are you going to live this life alone?

Ever since the beginning
We’ve been fearing the ending
And keep on pretending
That we’ll never run out of time

Are we missing the meaning?
Are we missing the feeling?
Are we alive but not living?
Just like ships in the night

Ships in the night…

Nothing More, "Tired of Winning"
