Born in a mission town, bred with the fist of our father You take the pole axe out of your spine, push your shoulder blade back in its place But I need a pseudonym, calm as a lunatic, all set I'm in the back room, and in the foul zone, with the breath of my elephant, oh And you pushing pencils, an army to rent you, that's okay A little heartbeat, the pluck of my heart, the sum of all elements say [Chorus] Slave, underneath the banner of wanting Slave, underneath the banner of wanting It always takes me there Back into the days I was hoping Slave, it’s real life happening [Verse 2] So I get my papers in line and I get a fake passport With all my decisions made, I've swum the fishing lake many a time And you slumped across the grey lawn with your bottle of Maker’s I pull my hot flesh out of my skull, I’m leaving this, never again [Chorus] Slave, underneath the banner of wanting Slave, underneath the banner of wanting It always takes me there Back into the days I was hoping Slave, it’s real life happening
Honestly I think it has to with tone. This song is too fucking electric I honestly don't think it really fits with the rest of Arc. Arc is this kinda depressive meditation on isolation and what being alone can kinda do to a person and their mind in general. I mean yeah it has high energy moments such as the first three songs on the album, armourland, and even don't try . But those never quite capture the same feeling as this song imo. Idk just my thoughts whatever.
@@Sipter195 with all due respect did we listen to the same album? there are so many electric songs. cough cough, feet for hands, duet one could argue, radiant, kemosabe. so many of them are high energy. in fact in comparison A.D sounds more depressive and isolating than 70% of the album. the cold and out of tune guitars, the lyrics, the chords, the ending, the incredible chorus. this would have been perfect for Arc and would have fit the themes. i could see it sitting snugly between choice mountain and feet for hands.
does anybody know bands with similar guitar vibes? like, reallt clean math rock-ish guitars? i mean, a listen to a lot of math rock with clean guitars but nothing like that
i know what you mean mate, there arent bands exactly like EE, but you can check those who have alot of simillarities: Two Door Cinema Club - first album Foals - First album Bombay bycicle club Dutch Uncles
There aren't any really. atleast not their early stuff, no one is really doing the avant-garde pop + math thing. A lot of it is down to Jonathans voice too
Polyphia and Foals. Maybe Nirvana and Steve Vai too. I’m thinking part-pop, sub-pop, and rock here, but if you don’t like that stuff, there’s Bombay Bicycle Club and Dutch Uncles.
Born in a mission town, bred with the fist of our father
You take the pole axe out of your spine, push your shoulder blade back in its place
But I need a pseudonym, calm as a lunatic, all set
I'm in the back room, and in the foul zone, with the breath of my elephant, oh
And you pushing pencils, an army to rent you, that's okay
A little heartbeat, the pluck of my heart, the sum of all elements say
[Chorus]
Slave, underneath the banner of wanting
Slave, underneath the banner of wanting
It always takes me there
Back into the days I was hoping
Slave, it’s real life happening
[Verse 2]
So I get my papers in line and I get a fake passport
With all my decisions made, I've swum the fishing lake many a time
And you slumped across the grey lawn with your bottle of Maker’s
I pull my hot flesh out of my skull, I’m leaving this, never again
[Chorus]
Slave, underneath the banner of wanting
Slave, underneath the banner of wanting
It always takes me there
Back into the days I was hoping
Slave, it’s real life happening
My mental health relies on the publication of these lyrics. Seriouslyyyy. Such a fantastic song!
Good news! They did with the release of their book, Caps Lock On
Why why why why didn't this make Arc?
Insane song.
