PRAYER POSITION // LYRICS
Another day pulls me down to my knees and
holds the gun to my fucking head
Can’t feel a thing
Prayer position holding my life above the muck
Oh god, I’m speaking in swirling bowls
Now the walls are laughing in silence
I’m spiraling down to the floor
Can’t feel a thing
When will it end?
When is it over?
When can I live?
The bar is held down on my throat
Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine a light to end this dimming glow
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine a light to end this dimming glow
The day is gone
Now turns the night
Our bodies glow ever so bright
The crash is done
We reach new highs
Our bodies glow ever so bright
Venture through these eyes and lose all time
Scratch the itch and murder the body for pleasure
Sparking it up
Breathing the fire we crave
Guzzle it down
Feeling the sparkle together
Ante it up and blow me away for the high
Let’s go
What are we doing and where have the morals all gone?
Now is the time
This is the feeling we treasure
You won’t remember, but godamnit it’s fine
The bar is held down on my throat
Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine a light to end this dimming glow
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine a light to end this dimming glow
Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole
Stomp on my heart
Let’s go

I like this comment
I can't even 😂
I'm glad we're all enjoying a quality piece of life advice
That's actually a good advice though. Now seriously man, you made my night with this
So I met Jake two days ago at the guitar clinic he's currently doing in South America and he literally told me and my boyfriend that this song is about being drunk 😂 now everything makes sense. Spencer is so complex with his lyrics, would've never thought about it.
It's funny, considering he's the vocalist for my favourite band of all time you would think the lyrics he sang would matter to me but they literally never have. I'm here for the harsh vocal technique and his pretty sounding melodies. Every lyric of periphery's could be swapped out with "Duck" and I'd still think all of their songs were bangers. 😅
But tbf, look at the lyrics to Totla Mad from their EP:
"Strip away all the excess components
Unveil a picture one sought to hide
Personalities are like fiction
The derivative truth but with no substance
Violence and hate
Nourishment territory and mate
We are the product of some experiment
While most live in ignorance
Some can't accept"
Like... that could mean anything, or at least a good amount of things but it's never really clarified any further. A lot of the time I feel like they're just saying vaguely metal sounding words cause it sounds good and no one's really keeping score haha
I honestly think this could be one of Periphery top tracks, who's with me?😎😃
Nah, habitual probably
it's a tie between habitual line stepper and absolomb
+Seth Rich habutual sucked, was too boring for me :/
+Batu Yalcinbayir breh..
Yeah Habitual was pretty monotone
This gets me so jacked up....it makes me feel like I can run my fastest mile, lift my heaviest weight, overcome any obstacle. If I put this on repeat for 5 years I'll be the next Mr. Olympia.
hahahha
u must be in top shape rn its ben almost 5 years
Damn I wish, I was running 8 minute miles then, benching 305...can't hold a candle to that now.
@@deejaymalta what happen dude
Age, covid, and not listening to this enough
These guys know how to end a fucking song. Holy smokes.
Right?
Reminds me of Dream Theater haha
just wait until you hear absolomb :^)
Exited!
not to mention how to start one
At first I thought "Yeah cool, nice Song, love this Band, the album kicks ass!", but then the chorus started. Just Goosebumps, literally.
That chorus is tasty
Man Nolly did fucking work on this track.
He's such a kickass guitarist alongside his bassplaying!
is there a video of nolly writing this? I'm just curious how people know which member write which riff. I mean these guys play so much together it's hard to tell. Everyone thinks Mark wrote the Omega intro, it was really nolly. shit even Spencer plays guitar.
+Drewski914 if you watch there studio update nollys playing it but plus mark holcomb had an hour long live stream and said he basically wrote all the riffs for this song.
+Andrew Record right on, I haven't had a chance to watch much of the studio updates and what not for PIII but sometimes it just seems like people just assume oh Mark wrote this riff or Misha wrote this riff, blah blah blah, when they really didn't. It really doesn't matter though, it's a group effort in writing an album. This song fucking rocks though. I'm really digging everything they have released so far on p3.
you can kinda tell if you follow the guitarists you kinda get to know their individual styles and can kinda pick out bits that are most likely theirs
Nolly also mentioned on facebook upon releasing this song that it was one of the songs he has had most input in. Besides that they showed a little instagram clip of him playing the intro riff. Either way, all 3 guitarists have their own distinct style, and for fans/guitarists who are a little familiar with them it's sometimes very obvious who wrote a certain part.
That Intro riff omg. Whatever chords/notes are ringing out sound so orgasmic
That riff is my favorite from the album. Soooo damn sick and groovy
plebs
I love reading these comments. I think it's because it's nice to know that other humans love this bands work since some of my friends are tools and don't get it.
Omg I am the exact same
get new friends dude. Sup my name is Nick
I'm like the only person I know that fucks with Periphery
@@chapterblaq same. I’m the only one that’s even heard of them lmao.
@@williamiceman9939 Me too, this band has the makings of some obscure cult.
3:40 i love spencer’s “blech” there
the chord progression in the intro and through out the song is probably the best I've ever heard. This song is simply amazing.
I love this whole entire song, but that chorus... it’s phenomenal. The dislikes are probably people who didn’t get their prayers answered
Idk why but alot of people absolutely hate sp0nce's voice. He's like my favorite vocalist, don't get the hate that people have toward him lol
Dustin Sterling Exactly, I don’t get it, what’s all the backlash for?
This one is my favorite so far. Something about that opening riff
It is quite a tasty riff
+Seth Torgerson absolutely delectable
It's disgusting, and I love it.
It's insane, one of my favorites
It's Nolly's way of releasing his deepest fantasies.
Whoever came up with the vocal melody in the chorus is a fucking genius
I guess that would be Spencer the vocalist.
I think it was Mr MEESEEKS.
They did all the instrumental tracks first and sent it to Spencer to add vocals. He picked the parts on where to sing and what not.
Kevin Tran that's an interesting way to do it
Chaotic Massacre
OOOO cannnn DO!!!
This album is spicy.
Sounds like they finally got that one pinch harmonic down.
Yeon Ji Sung I lol'd really hard.
This song screams "NOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLYNOLLY"
STOMP ON MY HEART, LET'S GO
(Bleh)
Blow me away let's GOOOOOOOOO
slayyy queen
I always thought he said " suck on my nuts...Let's go"
One of the most underrated bands
Without this song, I wouldn't be here right now. The most sincerest thank you to Periphery....
I am not worthy... This album will be a real gem.
so happy I stumbled upon these a few years ago, bands like this make me proud to be a metalhead, so much talent between them all it's unreal!
Just wait til' you hear 'Remain Indoors'. Song of the year material.
I agree
+alucardgrindcore good thing theres a such thing as a wrong opinion lul
This song is superior to Remain Indoors.
The chorus is absolutely amazing. Definitely one of my favorites from periphery
None of you are ready for this... This track is so sick.
I was born ready.
Thanks for the warning man. Paused and mentally prepared myself before I listened.
Appreciate the warning... I'll be sure to cover my keyboard in old socks and to lock my door.
perytony phentano
Wait till you hear Habitual Line Stepper
What an assembly of musicians.. holy fucking shit. Been listening to them since Misha's first demos, but I still can't get over their talent. I just hope they'll end up being legendary like the greats of the earlier eras.
Another day pulls me down to my knees and
Holds the gun to my fucking head
Can't feel a thing
Prayer position holding my life above the muck
Oh god, I'm speaking in swirling bowls
Now the walls are laughing in silence
I'm spiraling down to the floor
Can't feel a thing
I can taste it eating me down to the core
When will it end?
When is it over?
When can I live?
The bar is held down on my throat
Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole
Down in a hole
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light and end this dimming glow
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light to end this dimming glow
The day is gone
Now turns the night
Our bodies glow ever so bright
The crash is done
We reach new highs
Our bodies glow ever so bright
Venture through these eyes
Venture through these eyes and lose all time
Scratch the itch and murder the body for pleasure
Sparking it up
Breathing the fire we crave
Guzzle it down

Let's go
What are we doing and where have the morals all gone?
Now is the time
This is the feeling we treasure

The bar is held down on my throat
Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light and end this dimming glow
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light to end this dimming glow
Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole
Stomp on my heart
Let's go
(Blow me away, let's go)
just heard this album yesterday, and i just couldn't get enough of the melody layering and the progressions these guys pull off. i don't care if they know theory or not. all i can say is that the mixdowns are super tight, and that they have great taste and ears for music
Periphery+Weed=Bliss. I do love them with coffee too.
Rok Zakrajšek periphery+weed+coffee+GTA online racing=intense orgasmic sensations
No disrespect man, I loved them when I first heard them, went hours out of my way to see them on the first tour just, haven't been blown away by anything since. I still like them and still listen just not blown away like I was at first.
The best songs on the album haven't been released yet ;) Look out for Lune and Habitual Line-Stepper.
I agree man. I'm still a fan of theirs and respect them but their music just doesn't resonate with me like it used to. Maybe I burned myself out on their music.
My cousin and I have talked about this quite a bit. We're both sort of in agreement that everything from Bulb writing riffs before Periphery became a thing, up until for him PIII and for me PIV... it's like almost 100% gold. Banger after banger and my life literally would be different if I'd never heard them. Listened to every song in that bracket literally >1400 times.
Then everything after Reptile? I can't explain how much I WANT to like it the way I like their other stuff but I just.... can't. It just doesn't move me like the other songs do. In fact they don't move me at all I'd almost go as far as to say they sound boring and samey. It makes me sad. :(
I can’t get over that bass tone…ugh it’s so good
Holy fuck. Periphery is just plain awesome. And Nolly's production skills are just...WOW!
That intro riff is amazing!
ly generic
@@tfwnoyandere can you stop fucking commenting "generic" under every comment regarding the intro? It's really not
generic? are you crazy?
That Dream Theater-esque ending, love it.
so true haha!
Well, Jake IS related to John Petrucci, sooooo....wizardry runs in the family I guess
Ordacleaphobia beards do too.
+Ordacleaphobia by marriage though I think it's his aunt's husband
Gabriel Carbajal John's his uncle I think.
They released almost half the album now, like guys calm down, we're hyped too.
0:17 That tiny little riff man, repeated by the bass and the other instruments. The moment Spencer starts singing. Fuck me that's the best second of my life.
Holy breakdown... This is DEFINITELY the best one they've released. Can't wait for the full album.
This is a hair-raisingly exciting chorus
its fucking massive
No word of a lie
Please buy the album, guys....support people who make amazing music like this!
Done
0:55 I love that it's effectively a major chord but it's played so freaking low that it still feels menacing.
Instant favourite track so far! Looking forward to this album so much! Hype is real!
Also Spencer did WORK on this track, man, great vocals!
+Chris Pieterse duh?
I was implying he went all out, even more so than on other tracks. Do you actually have something to say? Or is commenting with 1 word on a positive criticism the most effective use of your time?
this chorus is just wow
The whole song is just perfect !
Periphery is the greatest and best band in the world.
The first time I heard this song it's like the Riff just slapped me in the face and said "you're my bitch now" and honestly I think it deserves that. The song just hits me in such a special spot. Love the song, love Periphery and their dedication to making amazing music. I still haven't heard quite anything like this and don't think I ever will.
One of the best albums of all time.
0:46 this is so brutal and aww so god damn beautiful
3:40 "UEEERRUGH"
yäh
Soiled my pants at that part
that part and the part after is so "periphery"
Came here looking for that comment lol.
it's like a BLEGH but periphery-er
ok i've listened to a ton of instrumentals, spencer kills it, his flow and sound is so sick, really fills the space, however i can't argue with those who don't like his cleans.
I'm really glad I like the cleans. There are other great bands with a similar style of clean vocals but they're deal breakers to me. Taste is weird and random sometimes.
@@Coastfog that's something i found odd myself. I like spencer's vocals when i usually loathe that style of harsh vocals.
but did you wipe today jonkip?
@@michaeldoolange I can get that done shortly! Let's go ahead and say by the time you read this the answer is yes!
man this one just nails it
"Another day pulls me down to my knees and holds the gun to my fucking head!!" what a great opening line
That snare sound ❤️
Please, Periphery. Stop writing riffs that are fucking up my life. Much love.
I for one love the fusion periphery does... pop has some great elements that are essential for cohesive compositions, you listen to pop more than you think. those elements are what make pure riffery so memorable and what showcases their imagination and fearlessness
I come here for the opening riff at least twice a month
Absolute banger!!!! Just cant get enough of that one.
New fav song.. Damn will be listening to this for hours now
PeRIFFery
Correction: Pure-riffery
+James_M1999 Fuck! You beat me to it!!
...love that shit!
I hope they notice this comment. Very fitting for this album
F34R THY R34P3R haha better luck next time pal
That pinch harmonic!!! 🤘
STOMP ON MY HEART LETS GO EUGHHH
This band really shines.
So addicted to this track, so amazing
30 seconds in and I already know it's my favorite. My ears were NOT PREPARED for that chorus. Holy shit.
Just a quick side note....this song is freaking Awesome!!!!
Ace Djentura
Pet Djetective
Best mix of any metal song I've ever heard.
Outstanding. This is the kind of song that make me love these guys. Brutal and technical yet insanely musical. This duality of chaos and beauty bring chills to my bones. Love it!
3:12 this part right here!!
Amazing track released on Nolly's birthday.
Happy Birthday, nollynollynollynollynollynollynolly!!!
my bday is tomorrow and i couldn't have asked for a better bday present. cant wait to hear the full album!!!
What else did you get :) ?
This is such a outrageously good song.
now this is the REAL djent!!!
GOD NOLLY IS AMAZING
THAT INTRO RIFF> I waited so fucking long for this. GODLY.
This song is one of the best on the album
Never been a huge Periphery fan but I'm really digging this new stuff.
I could give every positive comment in the book about this track and the others released so far but you can just hear how much these guys love what they do and how much they want to keep pushing the boundaries, they just sound like they're having serious fun and are truly acceptive of the fact that some people will love it and others will hate it. I love it! Roll on July 22nd
I LOVE the sound of the Alpha-Omega pickups. Here's to hoping they have more in stock some day soon cause I'm too poor to shell out 900 bucks for Holcomb's guitar.
i already have the album and i must say that this is easily my favorite album ever
I love this band!
The intro sounds like the theme of a really badass pirate ship.
This album has so many catchy choruses and brutal riffs going on. The ending harmonies are fucking sick. CAN'T FLIPPING WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TO DROP!
hands down to the best song on the album, said.
I looove how Spencer ends the chorus on a minor note (I think).
He ends it with the major 7th note to the chord at the time. So if the chord is an A, he'd be singing an Ab or G#
I appreciate the replies, but that far into music theory is way over my head :P
lol, dont feel bad. ive been playing guitar all my life and that comment went over my head
+Sean “JinG” Rutledge well considering they're wrong, I wouldn't blame you 😂
@@StormChasersofOhio look at him he knows everything
Ahh those octaves!!!!! \m/
The first notes of the song sound like Keith Merrow's "Pillars of Creation" :D
I love this song and the vocals, spencer hmmm
2:19 is my favorite. the song goes up a level and it is awesome
This is my favorite track that I've heard so far!
Favourite track! That intro riff and outro are stellar!
Best song off the album imo
Good song. I still give motormouth the edge as my favorite single.
There's something about this and Marigold that get me.
+Aconn1997 Same
this as become by far one of my favorite metal song!
KEEP SENDING MORE
Just saw them play this live in Columbus! Was insane during 3:40 breakdown
I want to pray that my position as a habitual line-stepper never catches fire so I can continue to be a living motormouth that wishes to remain indoors in a marigold room that relies on a flatline.
awsum xD
With the way the news goes, I'd say you're a lune-atic and I honestly think you need a Marigold to help you remain indoors ;)
Hahahahaha!
Now get Absolomb in there bitch
i dare ya
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?
I honestly think this song is Matts best performance on a Periphery song.
Ok, I will not listen to this... I have to resist... GOD DAMN PERIPHERY STOP TORTURING ME LIKE THIS!
So much love for this song, and this album so far!
Never been a fan of the vocals. They have their moments..Everything else is gold
Let's just release the whole album before Friday on RUclips :)
