lyrics
"Ive been searching, searching for all the pieces that have long since been forgotten
Can we stand on our own
We've been soul searching for who we are
For far too long
Solemnly, silently wandering, waiting for the calm.
We've been veering down a broken course of selfish skewed perceptions
Realign our paths and sight casting aside misguided ill intentions.
No longer being led a stay by the acts of past transgressions.
A contraction to an endless cycle built on exclusions.
Wane, let go we've always felt, reach out grasp hold we are an illusion to ourselves.l
All our lives we have spectated yet never uttered a single word
Silently whispering incoherently
Continuing to squander away every little piece we've tried to overcome and to achieve
Maliable self deluded personalities
(Your not changing for yourself)
Buckling under the weight of metiocrity
(But for all of them)
Enveloping out hearts in compassion and empathy casting aside vanity and apathy
Illuminate this splintering fractured foundation encasing these tainted shattered glass souls
Break free from these rusted conducts that contain us
How long can we continue being a hollowed ghost of our real selves
These chains can no longer quell this malignant animosity we harbor inside
Excrement, we can no longer tolerate being force fed all of this fucking bullshit
We're seeing phantoms in our hallways.
We're so concerned with what we aren't.
Trading our souls for their cause
And buried our bodies in walls.
A brittle foundation of self,
The cracks in the face of our bones.
Wane let go we've always felt it,
reach out grasp hold we were meant for so much more.
Are we alive are our hearts still heating barely clinging on, we're barely breathing"
I select Matches as my favorite song because it literally makes me scream along. I've had this album on repeat for months. The Northern has this loving and vivid image that punches you in the face and pulls you into their emotionally laden story. These all feel like songs I've literally lived in my life and I know them all intimately. Solstice is an amazing piece of my inner reality and I need more of The Northern. Melodic, great synth, well written lyrics, brutal and addictively groovy. zansatsu0

The whole album is pure gold! Sometimes I just sit down and listen to the whole album and do nothing else. Awesome rhythms, riffs and Courtney's golden voice! <3 Pazi
