Eli Mercer is an alternative rock artist who blurs the line between raw emotion and cinematic soundscapes. Eli can be considered a combination of industrial anthemic energy, and creative storytelling; influenced by world surrounding him. Eli's voice shifts between haunting falsettos and powerful declarations, with means of identity, control, and a wanting for something more. Eli Mercer has a refusal to stand still, and wants to build more than what he possibly capable of.
New York City, and the intimate scene around it is inspiring. I have had a lot of friends and family come and go here, whether they spiraled out of control or wouldn't stop making the same mistakes over and over again. "Just Like the Others" is inspired by this. It punches you in the gut, but in a way that'll shake you awake. - Eli Mercer
"Just Like the Others"
What were you chasing? Tell me, was it worth it?
The price you paid for something you don’t even want at all
Now you're sitting bankrupt, that weight on your shoulders like before
Another failure that you caused, how much more of this do you want?
You swore you wouldn’t end up here again
But look at you now
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Breaking apart just like the others
You say that you’re fine, but I wish you the best
Because you're close to giving up, close to giving up
Running through your life like you think it's permanent
But you’re shaking and shivering, I know you can’t handle it
How long before the weight of all this drags you down?
Do you even hear me now? Or are you drowning it all out?
You swore you wouldn’t end up here again
But look at you now
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Breaking apart just like the others
You say that you’re fine, but I wish you the best
Because you're close to giving up, close to giving up
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Breaking apart just like the others
You say that you’re fine, but I wish you the best
Because you're close to giving up, close to giving up
Another year wasted
Another dream faded
Are you proud of what you've done?
Are you proud of what you've become?
Look at you now
Look at you now
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Breaking apart just like the others
You say that you’re fine, but I wish you the best
Because you're close to giving up, close to giving up
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Breaking apart just like the others
You say that you’re fine, but I wish you the best
Because you're close to giving up, close to giving up
You say that you’re fine, but I wish you the best
Because you're close to giving up, close to giving up
