Back in 2008, 10 Years was part of the Projekt Revolution tour.
The band has released nine studio albums and in 2025 released their most recent single. One of the most distinguishing features of 10 Years is the vocals of lead singer Jesse Hasek who has a voice that is unique and easily recognizable.
Now The Inscriber Magazine has put together the ultimate playlist for 10 Years which is also on Spotify.
No.1 “The Unknown”
From the album Violent Allies, lyrics include “How did we end up here, sifting through our own ashes? Our fires burned brighter, we were a beautiful disaster. Traveling at speeds, where we couldn’t see. Anything that passed us, but no one can survive. At the speed of life forever.”
No.2 “Heartshaped Box”
10 Years does a fantastic job covering Nirvana here.
No.3 “The River”
No.4 “Backlash”
No.5 “The Optimist”
This song features Conquer Divide. The lyrics are “I don’t want your cure, I don’t need your savior. To give me a sign of life underneath. I just need to know how to heal the hollow. To keep the optimist alive in me.”
No.6 “Novacaine”
10 years was reintroduced to fans thanks to Sirius XM Octane which heavily featured “Novacaine” when it was first released. “Analysed and diagnosed. Over exposed to the undertow. You’ll never know it’s coming. Oh oh, the numbing. So you meditate or medicate. To maintain with a getaway, but it’s coming. Oh yeah, the numbing.”
No.7 “The Shift”
No.8 “Miscellanea”
“We made our saving grace priced to sell. But when there’s hell to pay, who gets the bill? Now you’re in limbo, searching for a loophole. But you gave up the ghost long ago. You gave up the ghost long ago.”
No.9 “Losing My Religion”
One of the best covers of “Losing My Religion” thanks to Hasek’s vocals.
No.10 “Cast It Out”
From the album Wasteland. “Touched with frustrated lips, love is like starting over. With every step engraving the problems of memories. Casted out, I’m watching your eyes. Casting out my visions of nine. Blacking out, casted out, I’m watching. Your eyes bleed dry.”
No.11 “Cut The Cord”
“You tried to find a perfect little paradise inside my warning signs (Ignore the warning signs). You died inside and never even noticed I flatlined your vital signs. Burn the bridges and break the ties that bind us to a broken life. I trusted you and lived the lie, cut the cord and kill the lights.”
No.12 “Say Goodbye”
“I know you said don’t cry. And we all see the light. But I deny the sun is setting in your eyes. I know you’re shining on. Brighter than the sun. But realize it’s time to say goodbye.”
No.13 “Dancing With The Dead”
No.14 “Blood Red Sky”
“Today fades into yesterday. Tomorrow stays forever a day away. You follow the wise and leave the blind. Leaving footprints in the sand. A walking contradiction. What have I learned.
I am barely alive, barely alive. Slowly treading water. I am barely alive, barely alive.”
No.15 “Wasteland”
No.16 “So Long, Good-bye”
“So long, this is goodbye. May we meet again in another life. Like strangers passing by. May we see it clearly in a different light. Keep touching lies. Like a thief in the night. he sun will rise
And expose all the lies. So why deny that you and I. Live different lives. The rivers from your eyes. Can’t change my mind. So long, this is goodbye.”
No.17 “The Trench”
“21 grams might buy you in. A steady hand to play this game of chance. Don’t forget that in the end. The house always wins. Clouds crack, taking you back. To the pitch-black point of attack
Don’t close your eyes. We’ve all been here before. Following fantasy. Let the madness begin, reality bends. Breaking consciousness. Crawling out of my skin, violence within. Has no consequence.”
No.18 “Ashes”
No.19 “Fix Me”
No.20 “Waiting”
“Here I am, alone again. Lost inside my own head. And I don’t know how to find my way out. So I hide all my darkness in the light. And it burns my eyes every time. I’ve been waiting for so long.
Nothing’s changing, I don’t know why. I was looking for a sign of life. In everyone else’s eyes.”
No.21 “Drug Of Choice”
“Reality scripted TV. Chasing fifteen minutes of fame. Fight over fuel. Violence in school. The youth are as confused as I am. Now what is your drug of choice? Pick your poison and enjoy.”
No.22 “Triggers and Tripwires”
“Oh, there’s no way to save a shred of the day. When it’s weathered and worn away nightly. We keep killing time in the blink of an eye. Trying to walk a straight line with a kaleidoscope eyes. As we’re flooding the brain till the levees break. With no memory we’re destined to repeat this injury.”
No.23 “Survivors?”
“Lost in the moonlight. You crash into my coast. I’m waiting for your high tide. To wash away my sore eyed soul. And are there any survivors, survivors?”
No.24 “I Remember”
No.25 “Rise”
No.26 “Dying Youth”
“Reach in her world, sheltered from strife. Bearing the gifts, burdens of life. I’ve prayed to stay young, but soon will be expired. An age of innocence, long since gone. I can’t let you go. Slow down don’t leave.Dying days of my youth. Over take me. Those who are looking backwards, chose to live as statues. Frozen, fractured, youthful laughter, fades.”
No.27 “Dead In The Water”
“You’re just a faker. No miracle maker. Holy behavior. Won’t make you a savior. If we want a martyr. We’ll come and find you.”
No.28 “Beautiful”
One of the must listen songs by 10 Years.
No.29 “Waking Up The Ghost”
“No mercy, no forgiveness. Condemn to my own hell. The voices calling out my name. Now I’m afraid that. I, I’m waking up the ghost. Not taking out the memories that were dead to me. Now, now I’m getting close. Closer to the enemy that’s inside of me.”
No.30 “Shoot It Out”
“You give them all you got and you give them a little more. And never even know what for. They feed and they suck until you’re unconscious. It’s never enough, they kill your subconscious. (I’m ready to die). Will you kill what’s left of me to stop the bleeding? Shoot it, shoot it out ’cause they want it, want it now, now.”
No.31 “Don’t Fight It”
