I’d really love to at least know the lyrics for the cleanly sung part of the title track right before the climax




That's one of the few parts that is in the official lyrics actually.



"Lost in you like saturday nights / searching the streets with bedroom eyes / just dying to be saved"



so I think he's just screaming in pain most of the time and not actually saying anything but a few words.




At the very end of homewrecker, I'm pretty sure he repeadedly screams "you forgot me, you forgot me, you forgot me, today"



Quite often, it seems pretty clear he is saying something else than what's in the printed lyrics

Oh nice thank you

And there are definitely some more obvious "punchline-y" lyrics here and there on this thing besides Concubine

"I'll take my love to the grave" - The Broken Vow

"No love, no hope" - Homewrecker

"IIIIIII. LOOOOOOVE. YOOOUUUUUU." - Heaven in Her Arms

etc

Just heard it for the first time recently, Phoenix in Flight and The Broken Vow are some of the best songs I've ever heard

phoenix in flames after phoenix in flight is the most genius idea ever. and then it flows perfectly into thaw. and then they crush you with the title track. amazing.

Xing, while I perfectly understand the intention of the "key lyrics" thing, the whole concept seems so unsatisfying to me. I mean the lyrics (according to the booklet) are brilliant and nearly on par with Vega and Altair, I dunno... its a pitty.

"I’ve been more concerned with getting something out of it emotionally, so it didn’t really bother me if a line blurred the lines between sounding like a monster and being decipherable as long as the emotion came through. But sometimes I really want to be understood and be heard."

From the Pitchfork interview last year.

I do agree that the lyrics are beautifully written and it's kind of a shame that they don't match up with what's recorded most of the time, but that's okay with me

I guess you get more of the feeling behind the lyrics than those themselves. in this kind of music i’m ok with that because it is practically indecipherable if not completely indecipherable most of the time

yea never understood why would people have problem with that. maybe because english is not my primary language so back when I didn't knwo much of it, I kinda got used to not understanding all the lines people sing, and it really never bothered me. if I'm interested in the lyrics, I'm gonna check them out online. it's not like this is really a sing-along type of music anyway lol.

The 1, 2, 3 punch of Concubine, Fault and Fracture & Distance and Meaning might just be the best thing ever.

Good quote. Thanks.

English is not my primary language either. Somehow other parts of Converge's work got me mainly because of the (somewhat understandable) lyrics (e.g. Last Light, Sparrow's Fall). Guess it all comes down to a matter of taste.

You mean what all subjective opinion relies on?
