Lyrics:
Like Socrates I only graze on the slopes
Of the summit of my own ignorance
Like Hippocrates I can affirm that the method of science
Is an appliance that emancipates us from dogma
and slant
and bias
Ah the seasons are changing
The velocities at which we now evolve
Mean we got to dissolve unchecked tradition
But atrocities go untouched under the guise of culture
Committed on another mind another heartbeat
heartbeat
heartbeat
I've got a sinking feeling
Like Sophocles we now wield the paintbrush
So keep a tight grip on a magnifying glass
Our priorities now that we hold the torch
Mean we got to hold it high to illuminate the dark
and archaic
and vile
We swear allegiance to no one
We’ll never let go of the microscope
No matter how callous the shells
We’ll harness the heat of the sun
And we’ll burn you out of fucking existence

Shikari have been killing it from the start. Easily one of the most dynamic bands of today.

@EQAVOX 9 лет назад

Too many people seem to be moaning about this. I mean it has so much packed into it, it's great. The rap, the electronics, the ambience compliments the heavy sections, melodys and harmonies just weaving in between each other, the calm and the chaos. I haven't been a fan of theirs for a while but this is pretty amazing. It's beautiful and brutal at the same time, something that can either be executed perfectly or awfully, there is no middle ground and this hits the nail on the head in my opinion.

@wrytte 4 года назад

The airhorn at 2:59 legit gives me goosebumps. It's a feeling of uneasy which adds so much to the song, damn I love this song so much.

@abigailgilzean1431 2 года назад

The song gives me goosebumps from start to finish

@Losif_1 9 лет назад

No matter how Enter Shikari adapt their sound, they always manage to do it in such a beautiful manner. Another grand song for what shall be a grand album.

@max-beckett 9 лет назад

Loving the rap-style from Anaesthetist and now this one. Great rhythm, seriously. Even the quiet "sinking feeling" moments are eargasmic

@jannananaa 4 года назад

Yes, my friend with Thom Yorke on his profile picture. You know what's up. This is one of my fav ES songs. 🖤

@decolonized3606 6 месяцев назад

if i were a professor i’d play this after a particularly badass lecture.

@ahhcrap101 9 лет назад

If Rou makes a rap album i would definitely buy it cause he's dope in my opinion. I love how the song is chill through out the song then there's a breakdown in the last part of it. I can't wait for the new album.

@SuicideMosesFilms 9 лет назад

Can Not Wait For This Album. Every Album Evolves

@danutd94 9 лет назад

For me, this great song is all about Chris musically. That deep, smooth bass just brightens up the low end so much and really drives the verses. Then on top of that, his vocals are so chill and atmospheric.

@shikarifox4337 9 лет назад

Chris always nails it, his verse in Rat Race was perfect, but I think Rob should have more vocal parts, like in Slipshod (the best part is Rob's "whoopsie")

@abigailgilzean1431 2 года назад

The seasons are changing 🥺

@rockondude3456 9 лет назад

You know what? Hats off to Enter Shikari for an extremely well made song. Ok, maybe its not as heavy as the likes of Sorry Your Not or The Last Garrison or Meltdown etc but it's still a very well made album. Them four boys have really grown musically in my eyes, they are always looking to do the different, go that extra mile, not stay the same sort of thing. But people always expect the same. "Oh this song isn't heavy", "I preferred the old albums" la la la la la. Ok, its opinion i get it but i would like to counter than opinion and say hold on a minute, actually listen to the music and see how they have gotten better! This song is not heavy at all, but neither was Pack Of Thieves of the last album was it? This is the Pack Of Thieves of the album, and I know this album is going to blow the last one out of the water. I cannot wait for it and i cannot wait to see them in February. Keep doing what you do Shikari!!!

@rjport 9 лет назад

Ted Claxton With every new release comes a wave of people like yourself lamenting the fact it isn't Take To The Skies.

@peachskull 9 лет назад

Ted Claxton You say it's boring and that in their first album they would surprise you... are you honestly trying to say this is exactly what you expected from Shikari?

@BeatFREAK13 9 лет назад

Ted Claxton Personally, while I do love TTTS, I think it sounds the most samey and predictable save for a few songs. It all had a VERY specific sound. Since then, their albums have had far more variety which I think is better. I like that they're experimenting, even if it's not exactly what I like hearing most from them. Though I gotta say, they could've done a lot more to liven up the outro for this.

@shikarifox4337 9 лет назад

If they make something almost as good as Warm Smiles, it'll be a winner album for me.

@wes8723 9 лет назад

I thought that PoT was one of the heaviest songs from AFFoC.. not agressive, just heavy because chorus is mostly about the guitar, as opposite to other songs where electronics have the main role.. this song is more akin to Search Party (mostly slowly building song, then some short heavy part throw close to the end)

@iamtheconfusion 6 лет назад

Easily one of their best songs, I must've forgotten about this or not listened to it at first. Such a cool song.

@layoflakersnation 9 лет назад

All their albums had a slow jam or two, this is a grower for me.

@alexwebb6860 6 лет назад

This is my favorite song on an incredible album, Shikari just got something so RIGHT sonic-ally with the album, layers upon layers of ridiculously orgasmic sound ! The breakdown is ridiculous !

@PugzFTW 9 лет назад

these guys know how to keep it fresh every time

@atka0076 9 лет назад

It's amazing how they can still be fresh and new, while at the same time staying in their own territory, and keep their style. Been a fan since FFOC, and it's amazing how far they've come.

@TakeOnNE1 9 лет назад

You know I've listened to ES ever since first album. And I gotta say even now I'm a big fan. And it's funny how they aren't one of my most favorite bands, but yet I'm more excited for new music from them than I am my favorite bands. You never know what to expect with ES. But the sound & lyrics are always fucking amazing & unique. Band name should be renamed Defying Genres.

@geeshta 9 лет назад

Yeah it's weird but Enter Shikari has been like my 3rd favourite interpret and the first, second and the other places has changed a few times but Enter Shikari still has been there

@mrobusto1010 9 лет назад

Oh man I've been head over heels for their shit ever since I heard the demo of Sorry, Your Not a Winner. As far as body of work goes, Shikari is tops for me. Especially their EPs and singles. Oh god there's so much goodness on them. Fucking Acid Nation, We Can Breathe in Space, Thumper. God damn.

@robreading3982 9 лет назад

Conspiracy Cat Yeah Sorry your not a winner did it for me years ago! Been a fan ever since, saw them live when they came to Australia

@dubyarex0624 9 лет назад

@theterramassive6099 9 лет назад

Fuck this, this song is amazing and I don't want to scroll down on my favourite band's channel and be reading negativity. Very understandable song, great rhythm, great harmonies and vocal lines, just a direct and well made song. They don't HAVE to write heavy ass Zzzonked tunes for us all the time. Appreciate Enter Shikari for what they are - musical geniuses and prophets.

@xfi3ndx 9 лет назад

@stintofmadness 9 лет назад

Man, I absolutely love the atmospheres in this track! Lyrics are on-point, impactful, and never feel overly forced or bombastic. This album seems like it promises a lot of dimensions. I say good for them. They're not stagnating in the same sound, and clearly aren't afraid to try a variety of styles. On another note, to the people calling this track "boring"...there's a lot to appreciate here - spare your instant criticism until the album is released so that you can hear it in context to the surrounding songs.

@LeSobaMask 9 лет назад

Why do people always say that they should go back to TTTS sound? That album pales in comparison to the rest of their work. My fave shikari era was around post Common Dreads when they released destabilise and quelle surprise. Flash flood was great. Pretty much better as a whole album than the previous two, but common dreads had better stand alone songs. Their new stuff is definitely top quality though. Been listening to it nonstop.

@YonaSoundcloud 7 лет назад

They'll keep doing their thing, they don't care what we think. they have a message to send and they'll send it whatever means necessary. and we'll continue to love it. This album had amazing contrast. these lovely mellow harmonious bodies and hard hitting climaxes right at the end, absolutely fantastic.

@tomjackson9200 9 лет назад

Enter Shikari never fail to impress me, from ttts to singles like thumper and Rat Race to the new songs we've heard. Putting irrelevant "heaviness" aside this is the most atmospheric song they've done and as 'Beez' said in his album review you never know what is coming next, Enter Shikari aren't afraid to try something different. I'm sure there will be enough moments in the upcoming album that will melt our fucking faces off, I for one can't wait.

@Franzwithfire 9 лет назад

Everyone is so fucking obsessed with TAKE TO THE SKIES..its not 2007 anymore guys.. its 2014, we've grown up, we've fine tuned, we've evolved ever so slightly - move with the times or stay stagnant forever. I'd like to think even this song relates to the future: Like Socrates I only graze on the slopes Of the summit of my own ignorance Like Hippocrates I can affirm that the method of science Is an appliance that emancipates us from dogma And slant And bias The seasons are changing Ah, the seasons are changing

@insystem7 9 лет назад

Jack Ward Well I think it's cool for bands to change up a bit every now and then, Enter Shikari still sounds like Enter Shikari, take to the skies was a really great album, but I have all of their stuff(and i like 80% of it) and finally I go the time to check out mindsweep and I love it.

@rorakk6329 9 лет назад

Look at the big picture here. If you were EXPECTING heavy-rock-tunes you should already know that you cannot EXPECT from ES. This song is no doubt going to make the album sound smooth. It is a great song, full of top quality music. Love the build up and how experimental it is. (Not a mind-blower, yes). The beggining rap is very catchy so it's not awful to the ears and the mash-up of melodic leads is beautiful... very relaxing. Lyrics are just good, I'd say it is still in progress for Rou to compose rapping lyrics, but hey, so far so good. This album is going to be bloody 'groit'.

@halo1221 9 лет назад

@robertavanesovru 9 лет назад

@jahkoz 9 лет назад

The introspective thoughts that come out this band have always been intriguing... Rou has a significant knack at that. I hope you younger kids understand the social awareness issues he's singing about. That you do the right thing for your generation to progress which he has been trying to get across to all the listeners. The recording production is better. The songwriting is better. The ideas are there. The vision is there. The message is there. This album is going to be fantastic and ground breaking I feel.

@Funkhole0 9 лет назад

You guys are one if my all time favourite bands. I remember you playing at Pioneer skatepark way back when, I love the progression you have made since then. Not a dull moment from Enter Shikari in my eyes.

@MrBidderdal 9 лет назад

The rap at the beginning takes me back to the rap-rock crossover in the early 2000s (which is not meant to be derogatory in any way). Growing on me very quickly like "The Last Garrison" did....CANNOT WAIT for the new album!

@adamreynolds6992 9 лет назад

This is a good song. Stop comparing it to the older stuff, because it has to be different. The band chose it, so they must be proud of it. And with good reason. It gets the message out there, in a way that will stick in the minds of those radio one listeners who will subconsciously learn the lyrics. This does what it needs to do, in some style.
