Why are people so confused or annoyed by the lyrics? They’re incredible, they’re telling a story of what seems to be a bad trip and it’s done so well! Amazing music and a dark Sikth-style story behind it - perfection.
This song is so damn awesome, and has me really stoked for the new album. I saw you guys with Periphery over the summer, and I never heard of you before. You blew me away, and totally made the show for me. No offense to Chon and Toothgrinder, but you blew those guys out of the water. Come back to the states when you put the new album out!
These bros are still making tunes ? I remember when I was 16 jamming out to these dudes. Good times. Nice to see music is made by them still Love their screams always have.
Ah, now I get it a bit better. I think it's about a recurring dream, and upon waking the narrator realises it represents his frustration with the world surrounding him. The lyrics confused me at first but now I really enjoy it!
this is what happens when you wait until you're in the studio to write lyrics... But lets be serious all their lyrics are weird as shit so it doesn't phase me at this point. I really enjoy this song though.
Yes! Keep it coming. Hope I can finally see these guys live when they tour after album release. For those bitching about the lyrics, have you ever listened to any of the lyrics from, oh, EVERY OTHER ALBUM they've put out? This is probably one of the most fluent songs lyrically that they've released and it likely portrays whatever story they were inspired by quite well.
For anyone who is in fear of the lyrical content of this album, have no fear; Mikee damn delivers some of his best yet. Riddles of Humanity, Century of the Narcissist, and Ride the Illusion are just sheer brilliance. Plus, Mikee's spoken word/poems (that's right, there are three here) are just as thought provoking as ever. Can not recommend this album enough to any Sikth fan and to any fan of music in general. The more I listen to it, the better it grips me.
All these comments about the lyrics, did you not listen to their first album? Some of the lyrics on that were fucking weird. Music was still amazing though.
no.... they've had a different second vocalist. He's not a good fit for them. Shame really because It's a great song apart from the shit lyrics. they tried to do something different but it doesn't work.
Ok, so I was a lyric/vocal hater too. I listened to it once and laughed, and went to listen to some old school. Im sitting and chilling to Such the Fool and suddenly, "Ooooooooooooh... Okay." suddenly I really like this and No Wishbones a lot.
Pat O u missed em. they toured just before the release of the new ep opacities. saw em in detroit... they were supporting periphery, but should've been the headliner.
They came through with Periphery last year. It was hype, I have some cellphone video, and some more unlisted cause I never rewatched them to get the song lol
Love it! both songs are growers and nollys mix is a bit of a grower but give it ago it sounds amazing after a few listens in treated studio with yamaha hs8's!
By the way I'm pretty confident the lyrics are based on a nightmare or kind of evocative of a strange vision. Personally I think it's brave and original to go for something a bit more surreal like this, love it.
Going to live with it for a week or so. No wishbones was kinda underwhelming on first listen too but it's grown on me a lot. Such high expectations can screw with initial perceptions like a bitch. Still think the new guy needs a better balance in the mix to bring back the vocal dynamic of old.
The dynamics still there, it's just both vocalists now have ranges that overlap. A little bit of attention and you can differentiate between Mikee and Joe Rosser pretty easily.
Hey Ho sikth Fuck yes I wish the last part was a chorus because it's so awesome I go back in the track to listen to : WAit in light of day but nothing seems.......
First 30 seconds, HEAVY. Then, wtf are the lyrics for a bit. Then by 2:00 I'm like, fuck yeah! Also, if Nolly has mixed this then it'll sound fucking great. Probably just RUclips compression. There's NO WAY Nolly would leave drums sounding that flat after the absolute fucking gold he produced on Periphery's III.
sounds exactly like what happened when i tripped on 7 grams of fine shrooms and went looking for my apartment for the next 4 hours. my brother told me i somehow made it to the door of the apartment on the 5th floor and then ran away from it when he opened the door. I spent the next 4 hours running from things that did not exists.
I'm gonna love SikTh music no matter what, BUT yes, the fact that the old vocalist isn't part of this project right now is a hell of a bummer. Nothing can top "Wait for Something Wild" album back in 2003... - Kenway
New singer Joe Rosser, is WAY better than the old guy. Just listen to him on the album by Pin and hisz new project Aliases "Derangeable" it is fucking amazing and every bit as good as Sikth. I do not say this lightly as they are one of my favorite bands.
Yo I really relate to this song cuz I always have these sort of vivid yet hazy nightmares for some fucking reason and it can make sleeping through the night difficult unless I have sufficient weed to suppress the dreaming. Wandering through dimly lit coridors that make no sense, frozen when I need to run or fight, I am not in control of the dream, and typically I'm not lucid enough to realize its a dream and believe the nonsense going on so I'm fucking terrified even though it often seems stupid in retrospect, but while in the dream I was holding on for dear life just trying to survive the night. And then I wake in the morning disoriented and nothing feels quite real until I've had my first cigarette of the day. I am told by my family that I am prone to flailing around, muttering, and even crying out loudly in my sleep. I have no memory of the things I'm told I said, but apparently I yell "Fuck" and "shit" and "no" a lot sometimes like I'm being chased. At the very least I toss and turn, I must be heavily sedated with an assortment of downers and weed to have a peaceful night's sleep. ironically, I sleep like a rock, I am very difficult to wake (apparently my sleeping body responds quite violently and has lashed out and struck people trying to wake me up) mostly immune to external stimuli like loud noises or vibrations or even being prodded. Thunderstorms and wind do nothing, I could likely sleep through a tornado or earthquake, and if there was a fire I would flee in my sleep without actually waking up completley. Without being remotely conscious I violently resist most attempts to wake me. I have destroyed several alarm clocks. I do not know why this is. Resembles PTSD nightmares but I don't think I've been that badly traumatized and I have had these dreams since my early childhood, for as long as I can remember. As a younger child there were more good or neutral or interesting, or at least excitingly scary dreams mixed in with the gloomy doomy wandering ones and shit, now they have mostly taken on a uniformly cruel sort of brutal dullness that's worse than any monster. Fuck if I know what's wrong with my brain, my doctors certainly don't.
@@gmyersgilmer9470 Sikth coming up first does not change anything about the similarities to "Extraneous", in music it is not important who did something first
Frobisher Rubbish In that periphery May have never written the song without the Sikth influence it’s obviously not true it’s meaningless. It does not take from them being a good band, it just adds to the merit of the legacy Sikth has created. They said so themselves when I saw them together in Atlanta 2016.
If it really did not matter then I could take your logic the other way and say it does not matter that it sounds like Extraneous from the perspective of Sikth alone being considered. So your own logic in comparison is exactly like my further reflection. Of course, we all have influence and what matters is your personal connection. So, I respect your view but all of them have some merit in concept. That may not matter in your subjective view. Sikth was important in Peripherys development and I am glad we have both bands.
blah blah, i'm with you. Next they'll be soothing us with a no wishbone. Sorry, i'm irritable and actually remember what Sikth was. Including how shit they were talking between songs. I had my heart here, glad it was plastered so vivd. Did you notice? Out patient anyone?

Sikth is like drinking a new whiskey/scotch. It tastes weird at first, but the more you drink it, the better it tastes.
This is the most perfect analogy I've ever read.
Acquired taste, basically...
The moment I first heard them they became one of my favorite bands. They give me Korn vibes
Fucking right analogy
@@micahpetillo1996 I get more of a System of A Down vibe from them.
Why are people so confused or annoyed by the lyrics? They’re incredible, they’re telling a story of what seems to be a bad trip and it’s done so well! Amazing music and a dark Sikth-style story behind it - perfection.
They're pretty horrible lyrics.
@@seananderson5334I really enjoy them. So fresh and unique in comparison to most lyrics. More Shakespearean than about fee-fees.
THIS REALLY WAS THE BEST PROG BAND COMING BACK AFTER A DECADE
I really like the lyrics
dachrillz me too.
Literal music video
That slow near the end caught me off guard, daaaaamn
The guy in the lyrics and the guy editing this video are the same guy aren't they?..
My conscious is fermenting within this song.
If you don't understand the lyrics you've obviously never been tripping balls looking for your hotel room
"Can you find the bathroom?"
"Impossible mission"
I think it's upstairs - did you try the elevator? Push the button.
@@Lunarsight now its open
Pretty funny story
More Sikth! This is amazing! *counts on fingers* Aw man, 2 months til the album, I'm gonna have to freeze myself .
Sikth is for people that grew up listening to system of a down & Korn then had a baby & made Sikth & I'm here for it
You have no idea. 😂😂
I could not make it without this band and this record!! If you ever come to California pick me up please!!!!
This song is so damn awesome, and has me really stoked for the new album. I saw you guys with Periphery over the summer, and I never heard of you before. You blew me away, and totally made the show for me. No offense to Chon and Toothgrinder, but you blew those guys out of the water. Come back to the states when you put the new album out!
Duh, sikth was the best at that show. They shit on periphery too.
@@BartCoz I wouldn't go that far.
These bros are still making tunes ? I remember when I was 16 jamming out to these dudes. Good times. Nice to see music is made by them still Love their screams always have.
This song is amazing, wow, blown away. love the harmonies
This band is so fresh and unique sound and original 💪🔥💪🤘
Holy shit. Didn't even know there was a new album coming out and just stumbled across it. So pumped!
Ah, now I get it a bit better. I think it's about a recurring dream, and upon waking the narrator realises it represents his frustration with the world surrounding him. The lyrics confused me at first but now I really enjoy it!
These lyrics are GREAT, it's a bad trip hahahahah.
It's like I was hearing System of a Down, but D'jent.
I agree
im so greatful yall are back ty sikth
In a world that seems estranged.. nothing seems the same :)
Funny lyric memes aside, this song is so good
This is really great!
first seconds of song is similar to periphery-extraneous song :D . Your new album is awesome by the way!
these lyrics are fucking awesome.
this is what happens when you wait until you're in the studio to write lyrics... But lets be serious all their lyrics are weird as shit so it doesn't phase me at this point. I really enjoy this song though.
So this is the first song by SikTh I've heard... I LOVE IT. Those lyrics are great, lmao.
Yes! Keep it coming. Hope I can finally see these guys live when they tour after album release. For those bitching about the lyrics, have you ever listened to any of the lyrics from, oh, EVERY OTHER ALBUM they've put out? This is probably one of the most fluent songs lyrically that they've released and it likely portrays whatever story they were inspired by quite well.
This is a wild ass song. Big, big flavors here.
HOLY SHIIIIIIITTT!!!!!! WELCOME BACK IN MY HEART!!!!
I enjoy the cleans, esp at the higher notes. Very nice 👌
BEST SURPRISE EVER. WELCOME BACK
Great fucking track, glad they're back!

That Ending is glorious
Everyone complaining about the lyrics clearly never listened to sikth before.
Pip Stanton first time here :v
Pip Stanton technically it is both. If they're appealing to the "most used" English language listeners, then American English is the natural choice.
All these comments about the lyrics, did you not listen to their first album? Some of the lyrics on that were fucking weird. Music was still amazing though.
Rhys Sadler-Price that is what i loved, loved the weird stuff. this isn't what I'm used to with sikTh, and I've literally been there since day one
It's as if everyone forgot the same band wrote 'Hold My Finger'.
no.... they've had a different second vocalist. He's not a good fit for them. Shame really because It's a great song apart from the shit lyrics. they tried to do something different but it doesn't work.
Mikee wrote the lyrics for this album
Mikee's written all the lyrics on every album, save for 'Peep Show' and 'In This Light'.
Ok, so I was a lyric/vocal hater too. I listened to it once and laughed, and went to listen to some old school. Im sitting and chilling to Such the Fool and suddenly, "Ooooooooooooh... Okay." suddenly I really like this and No Wishbones a lot.
I wish a US tour would happen. Like today. Doo eet.
Sikth with Twelve Foot Ninja? Suffocate me in my sleep.
Pat O u missed em. they toured just before the release of the new ep opacities. saw em in detroit... they were supporting periphery, but should've been the headliner.
They came through with Periphery last year. It was hype, I have some cellphone video, and some more unlisted cause I never rewatched them to get the song lol
*Can you find the bathroom?*
Oddly, this song sets the perfect mood while reading House of Leaves
Love it! both songs are growers and nollys mix is a bit of a grower
but give it ago it sounds amazing after a few listens in treated studio with yamaha hs8's!
0:53 and 1:51
who edited this lol
haha lol slowing it down for matching purposes totally fucked up that frame rate
This song is so schizophrenic and insane, love it, all of you which are complaining about lyrics are clearly missing the point :D
By the way I'm pretty confident the lyrics are based on a nightmare or kind of evocative of a strange vision. Personally I think it's brave and original to go for something a bit more surreal like this, love it.
Danny Wadeson yep,at first i thought this was a song about coming home from a night at the bar going back to the hotel room
Very reminiscent of 'The Scent of the Obscene'.
JUST INSANE !!!!
damnnn the tempo changed slowly, this is too good !!!
Lyrics are awesome, too. XD
Is this a song about winter compared to the summer? Have patience. Take vitamin D. Summer will be back.
Going to live with it for a week or so. No wishbones was kinda underwhelming on first listen too but it's grown on me a lot. Such high expectations can screw with initial perceptions like a bitch. Still think the new guy needs a better balance in the mix to bring back the vocal dynamic of old.
Let's give credit where credit is due. Adam Nolly getgood. Legend
This is really original, we are surprised!
Kind of missing the old vocal dynamic. Great riffs as usual.
The dynamics still there, it's just both vocalists now have ranges that overlap. A little bit of attention and you can differentiate between Mikee and Joe Rosser pretty easily.
3.18 took me off guard... Awesome
Instrumental tracks for this album please!
this is so gooooooood
Cool
Hey Ho sikth Fuck yes
I wish the last part was a chorus because it's so awesome I go back in the track to listen to : WAit in light of day but nothing seems.......
the beginning sound like extraneus by periphery
I came here for this
and Periphery sounds like SikTh - it's one of their main inspirations!
Never heard this band before but this song is sik(th). Really dig the chorus
Businessman - That word play on their name had been played out, sir.
First 30 seconds, HEAVY. Then, wtf are the lyrics for a bit. Then by 2:00 I'm like, fuck yeah!
Also, if Nolly has mixed this then it'll sound fucking great. Probably just RUclips compression. There's NO WAY Nolly would leave drums sounding that flat after the absolute fucking gold he produced on Periphery's III.
Unique
The intro sounds like Extraneous by Nolly, anyone?
I was looking for a comment like this lol. I definitely hear it too.
Thought I clicked the wrong video at first because of that, lol
Finally ! Yeeeeeeeeeees
sounds exactly like what happened when i tripped on 7 grams of fine shrooms and went looking for my apartment for the next 4 hours. my brother told me i somehow made it to the door of the apartment on the 5th floor and then ran away from it when he opened the door. I spent the next 4 hours running from things that did not exists.
The vocals at 2:17 remind me of Robert Smith.

So sick..
Mikee Goodman at around 3:54 on the left.
I've loved SikTh for years, but damn, these lyrics had me laughing out loud multiple times. Is this a comedy album?
gd song cant wait till the album comes out
that opening riff fuck me.
In the terms of lyrics - the theme and its form remind me of a quite cool game known as "Lone Survivor".
Lone Survivor. Man, what a masterpiece.
Holy 2012.
This band is a cluster fuck of like 8 other bands and I love it
@ 3:44 Take that, tree!
sikth song lyrics are all trip reports

HENTAI達の集まり！

Is King Diamond here?
Yeeahh!! ale ten tekst do mnie przemawia :P Typowy monolog w bani jaki sie prowadzi na dobrej kapie XD
Really didn't like the lyrics when I first heard this, now all I can think when I hear this is damn those riffs are tight
Awesome music as always but wtf is up with the lyrics??
I've been asking myself that for the last 15 years.
Trust me, even these lyrics make more sense than the average Katy Perry song. Love it :)
This reminds me of periphery's exraneous
Sikth came first, its been said over and over Periphery loved Sikth.

That outro \m/
Are they still together?
I hear a little Jonathan Davis of Korn in his voice😁

If Korn and SOAD had a child
hnnnng the chunk
blah blah, i'm with you. Next they'll be soothing us with a no wishbone. Sorry, i'm irritable and actually remember what Sikth was. Including how shit they were talking between songs. I had my heart here, glad it was plastered so vivd. Did you notice? Out patient anyone?
It's a *lift*, not a fucking 'elevator' boys
I'm shocked more people aren't pointing this out. They're not fucking American!
what the fuck i love it
2:30 My god.
oH LooK ThEre iS aN EleVaTOr
Oh fuck yes.
June? Damn...
this sounds like if Korn became a djent band
Are you broken
Don't know the band, but this song is hilarious.
My partner keeps sending me this band's songs. I guess he hates me 😋
