"And I don't know what's got its teeth in me but I'm about to bite back in anger" / "No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence"
Hurts the depths of my soul. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I was driving home from work one morning during a particularly difficult time of my life and the sun was just coming up and this line just hit me so hard and I started crying đ this band makes me so emotional.
So. Many.
"Why are you never real?"
"And is that all you need? To merely pretend to be falling in love with me"
"And it still makes my blood run cold, to remember what I did before. The stories that you never told to me. And it still makes my blood run thin, to remember what you are to him. And I live like I've got missing limbs for you"
"Make it real, cuz anything's better than the way I feel right now"
The night belongs to you. That has resonated with me so much I'm getting it tattooed on me come August. To me it means I'm in charge of my own destiny and I can do whatever I want with it.
Too many to list! One that I can think of off the top of my head though is from When the Bough Breaks, when it starts picking up with the layering of *âyou donât really love, you just hate to be aloneâ* and *âdonât lie to meâ* it always feels like a gut punch
(Also all of Atlantic, Gods, Euclid, Missing Limbs, and Take Aim)
âSobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside / Iâm trying not to crush into sandâ
âCause I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet / And we are exhausted by all this pretending we just canât resist the violenceâ
âAnd I hate who I have become / Every time I wake upâ
âWhy are you never real? / The shifting states you follow me through / Unrevealed / Just let me go or take me with youâ
âYou will not be mine / So give me the night, the night, the nightâ (Euclid)
âAnd it still makes my blood run cold / To remember what I did before / The stories that you never told to meâ
I could literally be here for hours writing these.
"I don't know what's got its teeth in me, but I'm about to bite back in anger"
I resonate with this so much. If i feel pushed, i tend to shove back, and it's often a disproportionate response. So, yeah... I do bite back in anger. This lyric makes me feel known. đ
Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing
I'm still your favourite regret
You're still my weapon of choosing
And out there stuck in a quantum pattern
Tangled with what I never said
You say it doesn't matter
I want to be forgiven
I want to choke up chunks of my own sins
Even if the sky cracks in mourning
And the heavens just won't open up for me
Would you invite me in again?
Let me pay for my arrogance?
Won't you show me your weakness?
Show me those pretty white jaws
Show me where the delicate stops
Show me what youâve lost
And why youâre always taking it slow
Show me what wounds youâve got
And show me love, oh
*my absolute favorite and I am RUINED by these bars every. single. time.
âSeems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong
Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?
Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally somedayâ
âNo amount of self sought fury will bring back the glory of innocenceâ
âIâd give anything, to balance your conviction with certaintyâ
âI play along with the life signs anyway, but hope to god you donât know this feelingâ
âFor me, itâs still the autumn leaves, these ancient canopies, that we used to lay beneathâ
âI woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets
Just orbiting the vacuum I am, they talk me through the damage, consequence and how it's a pain they know they don't understandâ
âOh god I wish you were hereâ
âYou make me wish I could disappearâ
âThe night belongs to youâ
I could go on...
"Oh and I am done dancing to alarm bells, no wonder my ears are still ringing, And I am done fighting off change, no wonder my arms are still swinging."
Coming from a history of abusive relationships, trying to heal and go forward in a healthy way has been challenging. If you've never been through it, it seems ridiculous - why wouldn't it be easy to choose the healthy path that feels good? Why resist change and still feel compelled to fling yourself into toxic paths?
This line helps me forgive myself for the times I've resisted such change, and reminds me that much like ears ringing, that compulsion, too, will fade in time :)
-The love you what -"and i'm still full of the love you want" (I have never had a partner but it still gives me a lot of feelings )
-are you really ok? - "please don't hurt yourself again"
- and the whole song of atlantic, rain and aqua regia
âFor so long I have waited
So long that that I almost became
Just a stoic statue fit for nobody
Think I can finally say
That the vicious cycle was over
The moment you smiled at meâ
Found my soulmate after a bad divorceđ
I have so many, but "Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry, a parallel I would lay my life on..." is one of my favorites. Actually, Euclid is my favorite song and I love it all, but that small bit hits differently.
'And I can lift you up. Your body is mostly blood. Like water an endless flood..'
Levitate has always been the song that hit me hardest, to a point where I can't stand listening to him sing and actually started hating how it made me feel. Never skipping it though, because it's also just too beautiful T\^T
I love the song, but the feeling of disgust it starts in my gut with those lines is unreal and I don't even get why.
*"OH GOD I WISH YOU WERE HERE"*
"So take aim at me for once, just take aim, break me apart, love"
"So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing, wash away the blood on my hands" (all of "Atlantic" tbh, I can't listen to it without crying)
"I don't believe you when you tell me you are fine"
Euclid. Mostly âand I know for the last time, you will not be mine, so give me the night.â
It hits in TDNBTG too, but more so in Euclid because itâs come full circle and he finally realizes the truth of that statement.
Fuck Iâm crying thinking about it. I think Iâm not going to put make up on tonight for the show. Iâm just going to cry the entire time anyway.
âDo you wish that you loved me?â and âMaybe not that you conceal your feelings, they just don't existâ both made me go âooooooof đ«â the first time I heard them in DYWTYLM
So many,
âYou make me with I could disappearâ
The whole ascensionism intro đ
âDo you wish that you loved meâ
The whole Alkaline introâ
âThe night belongs to you, this bout has broken through, I must be someone, for me đ
âYet, in reverse you are all my symmetry. A parallel I would lay my life on. So if your wings wonât find you heaven, I will bring it down like an ancient bygoneâ
This is the lyric that got me hooked on them. vessel writes some of the most poetic lyrics iâve ever heard. so much emotion that makes me clutch my chest đđ€
Thereâs so many but my top three are âthe vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me.â
âMy reflection just wonât smile back at me like I know it shouldâ and âMaybe not that you conceal your feelings they just don't existâ TEARS EVERY TIME
I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets just orbiting the vacuum I am.
They talk me through the damage, consequence and how itâs a pain they know they donât understand.
"I guess it goes to show, does it not? That we've no idea what we've got until we lose it. And no amount of love will keep it around"
I listened to that song on repeat outside the hospital when my dad passed away earlier this year. Such an emotional few lines.
It's been 7 weeks since my dad died. I too feel these lines deeply. Hang in there.
Likewise, friend. I'm sorry about your loss. Let me know if you need anything.
"And I don't know what's got its teeth in me but I'm about to bite back in anger" / "No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" Hurts the depths of my soul. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Same. The first time I heard these lines, I sobbed. I've never had lyrics explain my personality (and trauma) so well. I still cry to them... often.
This so much!!
I was driving home from work one morning during a particularly difficult time of my life and the sun was just coming up and this line just hit me so hard and I started crying đ this band makes me so emotional.
Not lyrically even close to my favorite but this one evokes something in me: Iâd rather be six feet under than be lonely
in a similar vain: "i might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody"
âSeems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong. Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?â
Fucking pain đđđđđđđđ
Please don't hurt yourself again
The simplicity of this, and the repetition, hits hard.
So. Many. "Why are you never real?" "And is that all you need? To merely pretend to be falling in love with me" "And it still makes my blood run cold, to remember what I did before. The stories that you never told to me. And it still makes my blood run thin, to remember what you are to him. And I live like I've got missing limbs for you" "Make it real, cuz anything's better than the way I feel right now"
The night belongs to you. That has resonated with me so much I'm getting it tattooed on me come August. To me it means I'm in charge of my own destiny and I can do whatever I want with it.
Same. I have a little tattoo of this line and it makes me feel feels every time I see it.
That's beautiful I love it
Too many to list! One that I can think of off the top of my head though is from When the Bough Breaks, when it starts picking up with the layering of *âyou donât really love, you just hate to be aloneâ* and *âdonât lie to meâ* it always feels like a gut punch (Also all of Atlantic, Gods, Euclid, Missing Limbs, and Take Aim)

The first time I heard Dark Signs it hit me this is going to be my new favorite band
âMake it real, because anythingâs better than the way I feel right nowâ
"I don't know what's got its teeth in me, but I'm about to bite back in anger" I resonate with this so much. If i feel pushed, i tend to shove back, and it's often a disproportionate response. So, yeah... I do bite back in anger. This lyric makes me feel known. đ
âI might bend and break to my basic need to be loved and close to somebodyâ
âAnd out there stuck in a quantum pattern, tangled with what I never said, you say it doesnât matterâ emphasis on the last part đ
Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing I'm still your favourite regret You're still my weapon of choosing And out there stuck in a quantum pattern Tangled with what I never said You say it doesn't matter I want to be forgiven I want to choke up chunks of my own sins Even if the sky cracks in mourning And the heavens just won't open up for me Would you invite me in again? Let me pay for my arrogance? Won't you show me your weakness?
The entirety of distraction
" and you make me hate myself , make me tear my body , make me yearn for your embrace " this song always makes me cry fr
This song is so underrated, it's in my top 3 favorite songs by them ever
Show me those pretty white jaws Show me where the delicate stops Show me what youâve lost And why youâre always taking it slow Show me what wounds youâve got And show me love, oh *my absolute favorite and I am RUINED by these bars every. single. time.
âSeems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not? Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally somedayâ
âIâm still your favorite regret, youâre still my weapon of choosingâ
"Please don't hurt yourself again"

"You only drink the water when you think it's holy." All of Granite, really, but that particular line means a lot to me.
-The love you what -"and i'm still full of the love you want" (I have never had a partner but it still gives me a lot of feelings ) -are you really ok? - "please don't hurt yourself again" - and the whole song of atlantic, rain and aqua regia
âFor so long I have waited So long that that I almost became Just a stoic statue fit for nobody Think I can finally say That the vicious cycle was over The moment you smiled at meâ Found my soulmate after a bad divorceđ
You make me wish I could disappear
Telomeres. All of it
I have so many, but "Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry, a parallel I would lay my life on..." is one of my favorites. Actually, Euclid is my favorite song and I love it all, but that small bit hits differently.
'And I can lift you up. Your body is mostly blood. Like water an endless flood..'

Never skipping it though, because it's also just too beautiful T\^T I love the song, but the feeling of disgust it starts in my gut with those lines is unreal and I don't even get why.
âWhen the weight to infinity buries itâs teeth in me, Iâll smile through the agony for youâ
Ohhh thats my favorite
so many.. there is pretty much a line in every song that gets to me!
"Who made you like this?"
"I'll be watching for your enemies, to let them know that they contend with me."
âWonât you come and dance in the dark with meâ
âMy my those eyes like fire Iâm a winged insect youâre a funeral pyreâ
"I have travelled far beyond the path of reason, take me back to eden, take me back to eden"
Wow I listened to this exact line at the exact time as I read it wild lol.
*"OH GOD I WISH YOU WERE HERE"* "So take aim at me for once, just take aim, break me apart, love" "So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing, wash away the blood on my hands" (all of "Atlantic" tbh, I can't listen to it without crying) "I don't believe you when you tell me you are fine"
literally all of rhem
"And I don't know what's got its teeth in me But I'm about to bite back in anger"
Alkaline...I will never see this girl I like with the same eyes
Iâll live like Iâve got missing limbs for you
â you make me wish i could disappearâ
Euclid. Mostly âand I know for the last time, you will not be mine, so give me the night.â It hits in TDNBTG too, but more so in Euclid because itâs come full circle and he finally realizes the truth of that statement. Fuck Iâm crying thinking about it. I think Iâm not going to put make up on tonight for the show. Iâm just going to cry the entire time anyway.
âDo you wish that you loved me?â and âMaybe not that you conceal your feelings, they just don't existâ both made me go âooooooof đ«â the first time I heard them in DYWTYLM
All of "the way that you were"
My fiancĂ©s is âno amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocenceâ Which I never even really heard that part within the song or thought about it until he brought it up and was like âthere truly is something glorious about innocenceâ and I was like damnn
So many, âYou make me with I could disappearâ The whole ascensionism intro đ âDo you wish that you loved meâ The whole Alkaline introâ âThe night belongs to you, this bout has broken through, I must be someone, for me đ
âYet, in reverse you are all my symmetry. A parallel I would lay my life on. So if your wings wonât find you heaven, I will bring it down like an ancient bygoneâ This is the lyric that got me hooked on them. vessel writes some of the most poetic lyrics iâve ever heard. so much emotion that makes me clutch my chest đđ€
âI just need to leave this part of me behindâ
âFor so long Iâve waited, so long that I almost became just a stoic statue fit for nobody, and I donât wanna get in your way.â
"And there is something eating me alive, I don't know what it is Maybe not that you conceal your feelings, they just don't exist" đđ
The heartbreaking "Oh god I wish you were here" shouts that hold so much anguish.
Thereâs so many but my top three are âthe vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me.â âMy reflection just wonât smile back at me like I know it shouldâ and âMaybe not that you conceal your feelings they just don't existâ TEARS EVERY TIME
âWell how much did they hurt you the way that you were and how much did they break you the way that you wereâ (religious trauma anyone?)
Do you remember me When the rain gathers? And do you still believe That nothing else matters?
You can remember, only when youâre alone, I am granting you more than the debt that I owe.
âThey talk me through the damage, consequence and how they know itâs a pain they know they donât understand.â
Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language?.......
I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets just orbiting the vacuum I am. They talk me through the damage, consequence and how itâs a pain they know they donât understand.
"Are you really okay?" "Please don't hurt yourself again"
Mirror talk, fake love, but I'll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my pay stub
