This song saved my life in 2013. Even in the dead of winter, I can listen to this song and feel the heat and humidity of that summer. My eyes well up with tears of despair. The panic, the anguish, the heat of the summer sun on my back as I hiked aimlessly through the woods near my home. The day this video was released, my wife left me. I thought my life was over...
+Agilancer Sorry to hear that :-( But life is never over, sometimes it hits us in strong ways but we must be strong and "resist"! Never give up and be strong. Life is short, and it doesn't matter how hard we get hit, it matters if we have the strenght to put us on our feet again!
+R. Meira That's the truth. I ended my comment with "I thought my life was over..." because it was really just the beginning of a new chapter of my life. Since that summer, I've went back to school (I'm in my mid-30s), released my first full length solo album, I found the woman of my dreams, and got a huge, life changing promotion at work. I'm not the man I was 3 years ago. I feel like I found "me".
Kyrell Davis you must have been commenting against yourself to make such a radical, dumbass, derogatory comment. Yours is the only one deserving of the idiocy award. Bravo man, bravo
4 years later and this song can still wound me like no other. The lyrics here have this uncanny ability to no drag these feelings back up that I thought I had anchored down way at the bottom of my mind. Terribly good, in every sense of the words.
It's like someone who's stuck outside of time That just learned how to love but it was taking away and seems to them as a memory or a fantasy. Just the sound.. It's beyond space and time.
Am I the only one that see this lyric as a master piece :') First time i read the lyrics I had trouble to come up with the story. But by time and repeatedly listing to the song i find it a song made for you to come up with your own interpretation of the lyrics and it's meaning. My way of seeing the lyrics (and it may just be me) is that the song is about a failed relationship and the singer going through the five stages of grief to get over the relationship. The first stage is Denial and Isolation: "Turn back time Reason why Break neck speed History Waiting (waiting) Waning (waning) Exasperating Unstrung Tethered Hoping forever" The next state is Anger (in this cass anger and guild blaming on him self) "No! I tried to settle bets with my own soul Bless my lips for the first time before you don't Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go I'll spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough" Then I see Bargaining and the Depression and the continuous repeat/shout out of resist And finally when the song end is the Acceptance and end of it all. Don't know if it is just me but that how i see it :)
There are several things that bother me: A) why is TesseracT so damn consistent B) why am I crying C) how did it come to this? Guys? It's a RU-vid comment section - where are the mean comments? Developing a faith in humanity atm.
This album is perfection and this saddens me as I think that they won't be able to deliver the same level of artistic expression on their next album especially with the singer change. Dan is a beast, but I think Ashe had that special something in him.
+Rik Broach I like Polaris but I have to disagree with that statement.. The song 'Perfection' off the album one is the closest dans come to topping this (yes I know that song came out before this) I do think dan has the potential to top altered state though. I just don't think that album was Polaris maybe their next album..
My favourite song of all time. Ever. And I have listened to a LOT of good music. Nothing else gives me the pure chills up my spine like this song. As close to musical perfection as I will hear in my lifetime. And I'm so happy to be alive to hear it!
My child was born two days ago. I've listened this album and this track million times in the last few days. It will ever remind me to the birth of my son! :) Love it!
Tim Richardson the drums were programmed by Acle, and Postones played some very few parts in an electronic drumset. By the way, as a drummer, I agree -- Postones is the man.
This song has helped pull me through some of the darkest times where I was so fearful, anxious and depressed, reminding me how happy I was when I was just 17 and ambitious. It really has put me in the same ambitious mindset again.
Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go Spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough i resonate with this song so hard i'm gonna explode i swear
I discover new bands everyday, find new songs that deserve all the love that i can give. I love finding new songs to listen to, but everytime that i want to hear something that I already know and love I always come back to tesseract. This band has the most wonderful musics, the beauty of their songs make me cry everytime. I love music, I love tesseract. Thank you for this masterpiece
Is it just me or does anyone else get shivers all over the body and freaking heart attack while listening to this and Nocturne? I just wanna cry and scream to the world´s end.
“Gripping to the last touch of your hand I’ve grown to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go Spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough” Late 2018. I felt like no one else understood what I was going through but these guys pulled through for me. Those words still cut deep
Resist, Eden, King, Smile, and Luminary are the best songs to exist. they all have a similar meaning, and even tho I'm probably the only 11 year old listening to this, it means a lot
Just when I needed a Divine message... synchronicities brought me to this bless.... Divinity told me RESIST from this difficult moment of existence thru this beautiful song. You are not from this dimension Tesseract. Bless You!
FANTASTIC video visuals!! One of my fave of all time songs as well as fave Tesseract songs. Cant go wrong with this one. Could listen to it over and over and over.
This album came into my life during one of the most trying times. I was struggling with a toxic relationship and it totally destroyed my self esteem and self worth. This album's (and Of Matter in particular) lyrics resonated with me on such a fundamental level. This album is hard to listen to sometimes but it will forever be one of my favorites.
i feel like i have to say something about the beauty of this song but i just don't know what to say, it leaves me speechless but full of emotions. Thanks Tesseract
This song now means more to me than I realize as I believe resisting what you hear or read to preserve ones self for skepticalism is an improved logic that comes modestly and or honestly from within. Though that resistance increases with the more knowledge thy retains.
