"Overcompensation wlll only fuck the balance" seems vauge on it's own but it has proven to be a very useful thought. It has stuck itself to my tiny brain.
Im surprised your songs have such low views. You're very technicall with it. Solid, unique voice that stands out in a good way. The pacing is nice. The message is relatable and a vibe. Kinda wish i found your songs earlier, but im here now. Next time you have something to say, ill be ready for it.
Lyrics: I've already told you I'm not a reflection so stop using me as a mirror for yourself. You must really hate yourself. How many times have I proved I'm not here to threaten? The demon you mean to kill is in yourself but you're attacking someone else. You need to believe we are lost without your wisdom but you can't feel who is caught up in the middle. You say what's good for all, but what's "good" for you? You compare me to a drug. Well, I can do that to you. You say it's for him and you know it's for you. You can't stand to see someone as wanted as you from his eyes that are tired from this bickering. I'd kill myself now if that tiger could sing but you're speaking for him and I don't live for you. You can dodge all you want then claim I'm dodging you. But I've already told you I'm not a reflection so stop using me as a mirror for yourself. You must really hate yourself. No, this is not the first time I've dealt with projection. The girl I loved struck me a crippled spell but couldn't see the parallels. You wanted more power because you once thought you had none, but over compensation can only fuck the balance. You say I'm bad for him, but that's you to me. Try and claim that's not a self-fulfilling prophecy. You say you're all-knowing but you fail to see we all know psychotherapy is a bullshit degree to use as an excuse for what you say. You could be fighting either side and justified the same way but cycling through synonyms keeps it the same. You can put up your wall then say I ran away. But I've already told you I'm not a reflection so stop using me as a mirror for yourself. You must really hate yourself. How many times have I proved I'm not here to threaten? The demon you mean to kill is in yourself but you're attacking someone else. So motherfucker answer me when I speak to you. You're not thirteen. You're forty-four. You should know more than me. Every time you laugh at me, there's a piece of you that sees between the conceited, condescending words you speak. I did not steal your life and I can govern mine and still you criticize when you're no better. Once more you've missed the point. It's not "you're wrong" or "I'm right". You lack objective eyes and I'm no better. And so you scream and shout, but he won't make a sound, so when you push around, do you feel better? Your pattern's clear right now. He'll never be allowed. If you'd just hear me out, then we'd feel better. You'll never ban my life in your myopic fight. I won't shut my eyes to make it better. And once I'm past this round, I'll no longer be found, but it won't bring me down because I'll feel better. You don't know how hard I've tried. (no) You can't see the thoughts he hides, and truth be told, I have lost my soul to love that has no life.
@@YouCantDeleteDenzelL at what time stamp? I'm not finding this change on the chorus (and thank you for checking the lyrics :), if they are wrong I'll change them right away )
Just listened to the whole album and really love it. I’m genuinely impressed with how good it is. I think this is my favorite track. I love the section at 2:45, the lyrics are really great!
thank you for making this song, it may not have the same meaning as you to myself, but this a type of pain I am going through I am fighting my very best and aiming for optimism, however this song really lets me open up to what I am going through so adam, I am may not know you or ever know you. thank you for giving me a perfect lyrical vent for what I am going through now.
So I just listened to It and I gotta say I'm really impressed. The vocals are really good and all the instruments used are almost reminiscent of a film score. Loved this one adam.
The last half is fine, but you can’t possibly say the rest of album is anything we haven’t heard or seen before? And the lyrics are incredibly cringe. Like something Clay Jensen would write.

This band is so annoyingly underrated, it's been 3 years and I still listen to their songs

My god I can’t find the words to explain how much EVERY WORD of this album connects with me 👌🏻 Well fine Adam, godAAAMN
The Scab. The Prophet. Stop The Hand. Freedom P2. Four-way tie for my favorite track. This album still rocks my socks off 6 months after release

I love it when it gets a bit more intense halfway through
Lyrics:
I've already told you I'm not a reflection
so stop using me as a mirror for yourself.
You must really hate yourself.
How many times have I proved I'm not here to threaten?
The demon you mean to kill is in yourself
but you're attacking someone else.
You need to believe we are lost without your wisdom
but you can't feel who is caught up in the middle.
You say what's good for all, but what's "good" for you?
You compare me to a drug. Well, I can do that to you.
You say it's for him and you know it's for you.
You can't stand to see someone as wanted as you
from his eyes that are tired from this bickering.
I'd kill myself now if that tiger could sing
but you're speaking for him and I don't live for you.
You can dodge all you want then claim I'm dodging you.
But I've already told you I'm not a reflection
so stop using me as a mirror for yourself.
You must really hate yourself.
No, this is not the first time I've dealt with projection.
The girl I loved struck me a crippled spell
but couldn't see the parallels.
You wanted more power because you once thought you had none,
but over compensation can only fuck the balance.
You say I'm bad for him, but that's you to me.
Try and claim that's not a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You say you're all-knowing but you fail to see
we all know psychotherapy is a bullshit degree
to use as an excuse for what you say.
You could be fighting either side and justified the same way but
cycling through synonyms keeps it the same.
You can put up your wall then say I ran away.
But I've already told you I'm not a reflection
so stop using me as a mirror for yourself.
You must really hate yourself.
How many times have I proved I'm not here to threaten?
The demon you mean to kill is in yourself
but you're attacking someone else.

to love that has no life.
Thanks bro
His best lyrics yet imo
Then again I have a soft spot for songs where the protagonist finally decides to stop putting up with bullshit
Btw, in the second chorus it's "Stop using me as SOME mirror for yourself"
@@YouCantDeleteDenzelL at what time stamp? I'm not finding this change on the chorus (and thank you for checking the lyrics :), if they are wrong I'll change them right away )
1:05
Admittedly it took me a few listens to catch
Just listened to the whole album and really love it. I’m genuinely impressed with how good it is. I think this is my favorite track. I love the section at 2:45, the lyrics are really great!
Translation from dumbass: "The album is very boring and repetitive but the section at 2:45 broke up the monotony so it stuck with me"
@@TheYeIIowDucK Damn, who pissed in your Cheerios?
Finally... after so long... I’m crying. It’s perfect.
"I'm not crying, you're crying!"
Best song on the album. By far. It just SLAPS
@SuSJoJ - That one's good too
This and Acceptance really do it for me.
God damn this resonates so fucking much
Subtle Scoot reference in there!
The complete 180 halfway through is the best part. I love Adum's song writing!
thank you for making this song, it may not have the same meaning as you to myself, but this a type of pain I am going through I am fighting my very best and aiming for optimism, however this song really lets me open up to what I am going through so adam, I am may not know you or ever know you. thank you for giving me a perfect lyrical vent for what I am going through now.
hey adum when are we getting new songs? i really like them
a friend introduced me to this music a while ago & i had NO idea it was Adum. I watch his channel all this time I’m actually baffled
This album is so good. I just like it more the more I hear it.
So I just listened to It and I gotta say I'm really impressed. The vocals are really good and all the instruments used are almost reminiscent of a film score. Loved this one adam.

@@KaneK1234 these songs were wrote a decade ago you realize that right?
Best track on the album, awesome
Can’t decide if this or a spool of threads is my favorite
Thank you for this song!!!
This is beautiful
Didn't expect to cry/10
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
"I'd kill myself now if that tiger could sing" is that a more complex metaphor or can't scoot sing? or maybe tora?
Dam you really calling the fucker out, I don't know who you're singing about, but listening to this I feel like I do
Its been so long!
Why the fuck is the sound design so tinny?
