saw them in Nottingham UK last night, the place was packed and everyone was going mental for them. Safe to say it was in my top 5 best gigs I've ever been to. They've also sold out a couple of dates over here too. So yeah, they're getting pretty big now
I think there's a pulse But I don't remember feeling Anything close to this And I don't know if it's worthwhile But I hope so 'Cause I don't feel so well No I don't feel so well I've gotta keep a grip on this But the rising tide could still Pull us underneath And leave us to the ocean Either way I'm starting to feel like something's wrong with this poison 'Cause in my veins it's burning And I hope you hold a place for us Far enough away From all the flames they like to tell us burn And I hope you hold a way for us But I don't really know you I don't really know you... Why the hell did I seek the truth? Of all I see in its reflection But part of me regrets it And I just wanted to see Now it's clear We're alone in this It's your funeral, it's your dying day So make amends For the end will leave us nothing It's your funeral, it's your dying day So make amends, one last stand Then leave with nothing! When I breathe again, Will my lungs fill with fire? When I breathe again, I hope it's ok Will I see again? When the smoke clears, who will still remain? When I see again, I hope it's ok... Chemical fires will signal we're dead [x4] Chemical fires will signal we're dead and gone [x4] Chemical fires will signal we're... [x4]
This album moves me to tears practically every time I listen. I feel like it touches me personally. It's dark and haunting and beautifully poetic. I'm so glad they're making music again.
I am so utterly blown away by Karnivool and have been trying to show their music to as many people as I possibly can! I have been listening to Asymmetry a lot lately and I keep getting stuck on this track, just an absolute masterpiece!
I didn't listen to this album until about 4 years ago. And every time I listen to it this song gives me chills. The experience of listening to it hits me so hard, and I don't know what these feelings are.
The rhythm in the first verse always fucking gets me. It's in 10/4 (2x5/4s if you may) but instead of the last 3 beats they play a 2:3 polyrhythm.....fuckin A
i used to think like you but now i have a message of Truth&Illumination for those that Choose To Hear It, And a Notice of Tribulation For Those who Do not Jesus(mohammad, Budda,)and religion are all Symbols For Enlightenment Otherwise known as the realization the I (YOU) ARE GOD
When I breathe again, Will my lungs fill with fire? When I breathe again, I hope it's ok Will I see again? When the smoke clears, who will still remain? When I see again, I hope it's ok...

I karnivool non hanno il successo che meritano. Questa traccia è pazzesca. Gioca con il mio cervello, lo accarezza, gli da calci. Di una profondità assurda..chissà che prima o poi abbiano le riconoscenze che meritano perché 150.000 visualizzazioni sono davvero poche. Davvero forti, davvero bravi
Standout track from Asymmetry for me so far. So much so that it was a half hour before I got to the title track on my initial listen, I had to hit 'back' and re-listen to this one 4 times before I could move on.
Stop comparing Asymmetry with Sound Awake. It's two different albums from a group who find new directions in every song. You have to listen to each song, with different ears every time. For each listen focus on either the drums, bass, guitar, vocal/lyrics or the sound effects. After you've listened to it seperately put it all together and give it another listen. I bet you'll find it mindblowing as f**k! It's what the band wants with this album.!
I know this is 6 years old, but I had to say Karnivool are continuously growing as musicians. The more they grow, the more people won't like their music as a majority. It's just what happens when you become a musician's musician. Musicians know what's up, though.
This song, I think (still undecided) is my favorite song off the album, which is a fucking masterpiece as a whole!! Some songs resonate with me more than others but I have a feeling those that have the lesser impact on me now will grow into long term favorites, I'm going to lose my mind when I finally see them live...and in Amsterdam of all place :D
This song gives me strange sensation in a good way, much like what the lateralus album has done to me. And fuck me, does this song have an interesting bass mix.
I think it's a beautiful comparison though. All whining aside there's a lot of great things to compare. I mean vool has always gone in the same direction, imo. Themata is one point, one node. By itself it's difficult to place it, nothing of vool's other records to compare with at the time seeing how it was their first full length release. With Sound Awake there's suddenly a refrence point, and that enrichens with Asymmetry. Slow movement towards more prog and psychadelic progressive rock. :).
It's your funeral, it's your dying day So make amends For the end will leave us nothing It's your funeral, it's your dying day So make amends, one last stand Then leave with nothing! My cousin was found dead in his apartment on 10.02.13... His funeral was 10.06.13.... I had this song on repeat the whole evening.... Miss ya, cuz....
Zedd36 I'm very sorry. I buried the love of my life today. It's been awhile for you, but I know the pain will never leave your or my heart. This is what gets me by in life. Karnivool is a big help. Truly an all time great band. Peace to you.
A perfect example of why I hate American radio formats -bands this good don't get heard. Karnivool is so much better then the so called "easy listening "paint by numbers garbage stinking up the charts
