I liked the valley. Kin was unlistenable for me. I wanted to like it but it’s just not for me. This however, this new stuff is targeted specifically at me. I loved Phil’s lyrics on the first album and going back in that direction is the best thing they’ve done in a while
The video does not do this justice. I saw them perform this song live and they made the whole crowd juno as it kicked in. One of the best live experiences I've ever had.
Lyrics: Eyes are glaring red with a conscious set to kill Nostrils flared and the eyebrows parallel Thriving on the chaos and the suffering I have caused on you all A dispute of man and diabolical beasts How could one cipher such a malevolent being? I am certain of humanity's demise We are the disease that spreads amongst its filthy race I am certain of humanity's demise Man will inspire the works of a new era of corruption Now that I can control the orifice of mankind I gladly inform, you're all in a world of shit Coprophagia would be the only solution Open your fucking mouth and ingest what you are Silent, you will remain, while I invoke my presence on your world Urges I must satisfy, again and again... Inside a shell, festering is the mind of a bastard child Cover the earth with the blood of this lamb! We are the disease the spreads amongst its filthy race Collect the dust of the ones who have fallen to the lies It is your last resort to a wretched memory Take this life for granted and hold it tight For we have you all under control because We are the disease For we have you all under control Man will inspire the works of a new era of corruption God damn you all Eyes are glaring red with a conscience set to kill Nostrils flared and the eyebrows parallel Eyes are glaring red with a conscience set to kill Nostrils flared and the eyebrows parallel Eyes are glaring red with a conscience set to kill Nostrils flared and the eyebrows parallel Eyes are glaring red with a conscience set to kill God damn you all
Lyrics: Let this be the day that I stop to care and pour my hate upon this world Look me in the eyes, tell me you don't feel the same anymore Look me in my fucking eyes Fuck what you think I'm so sick of all these people pretending like they don't have a darkness, All they harness is light Where there is love there is hate and all the things that coincide blind Our eyes and take over our minds I am hate you are hated, I've created you've created Now get it through your fucking head, we create hate Perfection is neglected now it's rough around the edges and the lesson that We've learned; we have neglected ourselves Cram it down your throat and choke
Wish yall would come to Alabama soon..Like very soon..Bone marrow failure is winning this battle.. I have never been to concert. Any concert. Ever. At 35 years old.. Is there an adult Make A Wish? lol Anyway THANK YOU for sharing your magic with the world guys! ♡
Oh and I just realized how fitting the vocals even are - I feel like Phil found his middle, he has the voice of an angle and yet he is aware of his devil inside which is represented by his unclean vocals - just amazing, cant wait to see you guys live again soon 🖤 Feels crazy that its been 2 years already since Kin dropped - imho one of the best albums out there, not just one of the best (if not the best) Whitechapel album but in general (of course its just my opinion). It has everything, got me tearing up but also helped me to get back up again, I feel like my words fall far too short to honor this masterpiece
'How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow' - Carl Jung Something I always knew but didn't understand... now that I do it recontextualizes the song for me - we all carry evil, no matter how good we are, it's something you have to face and you have to accept instead of pushing it away. If you want to get rid of it, accept it and learn to understand it. 'One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious' - Carl Jung I feel like I finally see my shadow more clearly and I don't fear my bad traits or habits anymore, instead I ask myself in all honesty what my intention really is. I used to fear selfishness because I thought people would judge me for being selfish, I thought selfishness is evil and bad but thats not true, everything we do is selfish even if it seems selfless it is selfless selfishness. It is neither destructive nor productive to be selfish until there is outcome. 'If you comprehend the darkness, it seizes you. It comes over you like the night with black shadows and countless shimmering stars. Silence and peace come over you if you begin to comprehend the darkness. Only he who does not comprehend the darkness fears the night' - Carl Jung Thank you Phil for sharing your thoughts, I finally dont feel lost anymore or atleast I feel like it is okay to be lost from time to time, it is okay to take a break, to calm and to change directions the way you want to. Nothing is set in stone, nothing is permanent, become the person you want to be.
It's a damn shame that this tour was how I discovered the band. I have been a diehard fan since and know every word to every song from that tour now. I wish I could go back a relive it. Can't believe I've been a fan for 10 years now.
