Lyrics:
Take one second to look,
Be afraid of what we retook,
See the light inside hurry yourself confide
A life worth living
Hold on, hold on to your hope
Our spirit has endured this pain for far too long
These limitations on our minds are merely calculated lies,
Stay thoughts echoing rationality (rationality)
Bring beliefs to life
Stand beneath starlit skies,
In order to comprise
Every meaning
Finished in between the space of two frames
It’s been replaying
You can’t hide from gold,
You’ve done nothing wrong though
You can’t hide from gold,
Don’t let yourself gloat
Allow the tide to turn in
Dare not let the Lexus win
Olive trees must proceed to be
On this planet to succeed
Windows frighten you all
Windows frighten you all
Holding stories away
with arms that we can make free
Together in harmony
That’s how it was when we were meant to be (when we were meant to be)
Persistent thoughts that tribute to passion from you...
There goes my eyes.
There won’t be a place without sun,
With a will to wait and a heart to run
There goes my eyes
Take one!
Second just to see
Let Go!
Free these memories
There's Hope
Buried in yourself confide.
Our spirit has endured this pain for far too long
Though accomplishments that signify the end,
Of shaken and mistaken times
Play on thoughts leave this tamed society
But who are we to judge
(We all are open now)
We all are open now
Build this up
With hands of steel
Bring me back to life of growth

Shoutout to Metalbirb for reacting to the tune and bringing over his community! Really appreciate it! :D
You deserve it all and so much more. Incredible Song! ❤️
That‘s why I‘m here right now! Definitely not disappointed! Great song! 💪
Came here from him and oh my God you guys are absolutely amazing. Masterclass.
For all you new guys, you need to listen to quest next. It's the song that got me to love these guys and I'm sure you will love it too.
He’s the reason I’m here. I love you guys. Such a masterpiece.
I've probably watched this video 25 times by now. Here's to 25 more and counting. Thank you for this masterpiece 🖤
You don't even understand how excited this makes us for 2021... new music is imminent
@@aviationsband Please, a whole album in this style and vibe would be amazing. What everyone needs to drag us out of 2020.
Brooo
Agree this is a masterpiece thank you METAL BIRD for notifying me this band your channel is great!
Me too! This is truly epic stuff guys!
Those piano chords during the breakdown are *chef's kiss*
Richard's genius was showing that day. We told him to put it away before somebody sees it.
That base piece in the middle before the breakdown is everything.
@@aviationsband bro we all saw and we all continue to see. Ive watched this video a hundred times no lie
@@aviationsband 😂
So happy to finally release this thing! Thanks for checking it out everyone :)
Damn, I remember you from the Lauren Babic collab cover of Marigold. Your playing was damn beautiful.
Your bass on this track is 🤯 mind blowing. Congratulations on being a stunning musician sir! 👌
This was incredible. I wish I could be 1/10th as proficient as you are.
You killed it man
From someone who struggles with depression. Not “I’m sad” depression, the “I’m numb” depression... this made me feel something. This broke through. Thank you. Thank you so much for this.
This really hits home. Depression isn’t as black and white as “I wasn’t sad and now I am”. For me it’s often a constant complex noise in my head about how I’m not good enough at what I do or for anyone. The reactions we’ve been getting everyday on this video have helped me mentally more than you could ever know so the feeling here is 100% mutual. Thank you so much for listening and sharing and remember, you’re enough. - Sam
@@aviationsband appreciate the reply! Serious misunderstandings about what depression really is. I’ve played guitar for both 15 years on and off stage and I could only dream of being as skilled as you. Music has always been what keeps me grounded. I’ve thought many times at my lowest.. “well, at least I have the guitar”. This is special and I look forward to hearing lots more of your work Sam.
beautiful words
I'm the same way man. Pills don't do it for me, but music like this truly let's me escape myself for a bit and just enjoy the ride.
This... Is the most seen I've felt reading something in my life. Even through all the therapy and mediation I've been through, I've struggled to explain my depression because it's never sadness, it's just not feeling anything at all. You so eloquently put it into words what I've been feeling for a long time now and I thank you for this.
Amazing job everyone. Much love to all the homies commenting and sharing- we're answering!!!!
Adam Benjamin you sound so good !! 🖤
Your vocals have leveled up man, I love the new textures and cleans you're doing. Was grateful for The Light Years, and you guys keep paying out the jammies.
Adam "Gem" Benjamin ❤️👌😁
As a general rule, I never trust a dude with two first names...
For you I'll make an exception, my man... This is some seriously awesome work by all
Hard to argue with near perfection Adam. All six of you highly adept musicians were and are firing on all six Lexus cylinders. If I had one complaint, the song should have been longer. 😉👍
The fact that this has only 20.000 views ofends me
and only 3.6k likes... 😒
❤️
oh hi bois 😘
Props to the bass player, incredible work. Really stood out to me.
He’s our special boy repping that dingwall 🥰 Werner Erkelens
Thank you man! Really happy to hear you're enjoying the tune 🙌🏻
Was thinking the same thing!
Enjoy!
I'm gonna make a bold statement and say this is the best song ever written
“That’s high praise” (read Nicholas Cage voice) thanks man 😅
Well, we just put out a new song that we think at least rivals it! Check out “Coma”
"now that this is done can you all get out of my house" - allison blumenthal
BAHAHAHA
It's criminal this hasn't cracked 100k yet. What a masterpiece you folks have created.
We're trying, I hope it hits that before we put out our next single 😬
We did it! Thanks to you! See you friday
@@aviationsband Hell yea!! I'll be here for it 🤟
It's like BTBAM, Periphery, The Contortionist, and Dream Theater had a big orgy and made the perfect kid, a.k.a God. This is next level, the future of music, after this song, every other feels lackluster. Congrats guys.
i got animals as leaders vibes as well
@NikNokturnal Where you at?
It's like Arch Echo, The Contortionist, and Protest The Hero had a baby. This is utterly unreal.
I don't really see the "Protest the Hero" in here, particularly, once that PTH aims towards punk and metalcore with really high tempo upbeat skanks and power metal-ish over the top leads. You don't really see that stuff happening with Aviations like, at all.
chills down my spine & tears in my eyes . the emotions this brought up . all those years ago i listened to this song in high school after a long night of making music with my best friend that got me into progressive metal . headphones in & in the dark i listened & was submerged in a whole different world, just out of the blue, like a spiritual experience . afterwards for the first time, i was able to think of musical ideas with all the different instruments playing at once . i started tearing up . emotional, i went back into my homies room to see if he was still awake . he was & we ended up having a super deep conversation & that was the start of when we really became close . my friend passed away a few years ago & i know how much he would've loved to hear this . this song always carried extra value for me , but the impact this video just had on me is beyond words . from the bottom of my heart, thank you .
Music often transcends what words can even begin to describe. Thank you so much for sharing your story, while I can only imagine what it feels like to lose someone that close, but it means so much to us that our music found a place in your life in that way and we're glad you're still here to share this new version with us. I hope it sticks with you for many years to come. Thanks again for sharing
Let us know what ya think of Coma!
You guys put EVERYTHING into this song. I can feel it. Seriously, one of the best single pieces of art in the prog/metal scene in the last decade.
Damn this song is so damn good...DAMN I SAY!
Filmed a Reaction as per the request of @metalbirb - will hopefully have it out today. Amazing job guys.
OMG I love your channel dude 😳 your dream theater / porcupine tree / Gojira reactions are so awesome I’ve been a fan for a while.
Oh shit I just checked and I totally missed your contortionist spiritbox and tesseract videos haha there goes my morning! Looking forward to it!
Oh damn! Will be keeping an eye on your channel for that one! :)
Where has this been all my life. Jesus, that was an experience. Never stop putting this art into the world, this shit will save lives.
I have never seen an 11 minute music video that is this 10/10 each and every second it plays
We have a new ten minute video that came out called Coma! Hope ya dig it!
Haaaaa !!! Wooah !!!!!
The way they use dissonance to help portray fear and anxiety particularly at about 6:05 is a masterclass, that moment makes the resolution feel so surreal.
Glad ya dig it! We recently put out a new song entitled Coma! Check it out!
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard, pure fucking magic.
Perfection never change's
Holy crap, this is easily my new favorite song! Thank you all so much for this incredible experience
🥰🥰🥰
Did you check out our new tune Coma!?
I smiled through the first half of the song and cried silent tears in awe through the last half, my BF too, almost. This is so beautiful, you guys are incredibly talanted in making music. Cant believe it took me two years to find this song and then you guys, youtubes algorithms can go take a hike.
Never stop doing what you do.
Hearing this song, finding the rest of your music, it somehow made my life better.
This is magical guys.
Love from Sweden.
Absolutely breathtaking bois....
I heard the intro to this song 2 1/2 years ago and added it to my Spotify with the intention of giving the full song a listen when I had a bit more time, then forgot about it. I finally rediscovered it tonight, and wow....I'm torn between knowing that if _anything_ was worth waiting for it was "Outliers", and intense self-hatred for denying myself this song for so long.
100%, certifiable Masterpiece.
YOOOOOOO!
Masterpiece of beauty
I can't get enough of their music. It's honestly some of the best I've heard. Never stop making music. You guys are truly doing something amazing. I look forward to see you guys continue to grow and future successes. Thank you. :)
Coming from someone who loves prog metalcore such as ERRA and atmospheric metal such as Thornhill and Northlane, this left me in awe. I love diving into different bands that have a unique sound to them, and this is the pinnacle of it. I hope you guys get the recognition you deserve and keep delivering. Perfect.
ERRA and Northland are awesome bands :) thanks for listening!
We have the EXACT same taste in music my friend and i find you here in Aviation's masterpiece of a song ! Small world !!
@@sXeSkinWalkeRsXe :D
Bro theyre exactly my top 3 fave bands
When I listen to Outliers and realize it's a track made in 2020, I feel like we have some a chances, boyz. In general, music has a chance.
Lol every time I come back to listen to this song, good feelings come with it.
Eric's gotdamn biceps
I'm really late to the Outliers party--and Aviations, too, really. This is so, so...words fail. Love it. Any Dear Hunter fans here? Anyone else notice the Act IV vinyl cover right around 0:57 in? I thought I heard Casey Crescenzo vibes on Legend, and am convinced now. What a wonderful nod. I love finding new music to devote some real listening time to!
Man, I miss Act 1/ Act 2 vibes from back in the day.. Thank you so much for reminding me of my early 20's lmao
As a The Contortionist fan, I appreciate this a lot
Amazing new sound guys
Bare with me here. I’m almost 30 years old. Music has always been the most important thing in my life. Especially for my mental state of mind (probably not healthy but it’s true) my favorite bands are Tool/Slipknot/LP/Deftones (saying this just for perspective) and I just need you to know this is the greatest song I’ve ever heard. An absolute masterpiece. I’ve listened to it for a little over a year, and no song has grown on me the way this one has. You guys are pure gold, and I really hope you get the recognition you deserve. Words can’t even describe how much this song does for me. A beautiful journey I will listen to forever. Keep going.
Some of us are almost 30 as well, even weirder to think we filmed this 2.5 yrs ago already geeze, but time is strange as you get older. Feels like i know it’s worth more but still manage to spend it less wisely, but when you find an awesome piece of music it makes you slow down and enjoy it so I get where you’re coming from. That’s a sick list of bands man all favorites of mine as well. Thanks so much for sharing and we’re glad this song found you the way it did. This really does keep us going especially with the huge body of work we’re still finishing up to put out this year. Gona do our best to make sure it reaches you and as many people as possible when it’s ready. So hang in there and see you then man :)
I've said it for weeks now that this is arguably one of the greatest musical pieces ever created. Goddamn thank you so fucking much for this masterpiece. Can't wait to see you guys live.
Also how hard does that breakdown go?
Petrified wood? Soft compared to this.
All the way down.
not as hard as Demon King tbh :D
Perfection.
please never stop making music
Guys...you’ve made my day. Actually, you’ve made my week. Hell, potentially my whole month. Been feeling down for the past 3 months and felt like I wasn’t gonna get out of that hole. Heard you guys on Spotify. Dizziness Explained was the first song and now I’m here. You’re helping me out of that slump. This song literally makes me happy. Thanks guys. Please continue rocking out. Here’s to your first guys!!!!
So glad to hear that 🥰 thanks for listening
@@aviationsband DUDE!!!! YOUR GUYSESES SONG LITERALLY GOT ME A NEW JOB!!!! YYYYEEEEAAAA!!!!! Let’s gooooooo!!!! Man! I kid you not, this song was on repeat every time I was job hunting! Thank you again. This song means so much to me!!!!
@@LpCool19 🥰haha so glad the job search went well. Congrats!
The intro... Omg that sound..!!! When i go to sleep i put airbud and sometime this is my last song 🤘
It sounds like if The Contortionist and Plini had a child
...with a little Corelia in it
And tesseract
Duddeee i was thinking the sameee!
My beautiful gf sent me this..
After listening to the whole thing
I heard plini, periphery, tesseract, time, the valuator
Izzz goood
@@zimdoeswhatever dude time, the valuator. I knew i heared something else in there and you got it. Cheers🤘
Plini album at 4:07
This song goes so damn hard. This has the makings of an all time classic in my eyes. I know what band I'll be listening to for the next few weeks tho lol god I love music
Happy to have you here 😁 we’re hard at work on our next release so keep ur eyes and ears out soon for some more stuff in this vain
You should check out our new banger “Coma”!
Just randomly discovered these guys from spotify. What in the holy epic masterpiece is this and how does it only have 46k views?
We’re not signed or with a large ad agency so our promo is only out of pocket and what we can spare time wise. Working on a new record of over 60 min of music for this year so there’s plenty more where this came from ❤️
@@sharchik916 just saw this. I have been closely following you guys since discovery, but thanks so much for the follow up!
I disoveverd this song on spotifys progressive metal playlist. I cant enough of it. Incredible.
I'm extremely happy about this. My favorite song from A Declaration of Sound!
I hate to say these kind of things, but its just facts: this is criminally underrated
Agreed but I’m biased 😅
@@sharchik916 lol, hope you guys get more recognition
please come to japan someday
We will
The Dear Hunter - Act IV on the fireplace mantel
Biggest influence honestly and best album ever, with act V of course
What an amazing song and video, time to dive into your discography, Thanks for this!
Enjoy the ride, we have some pretty long songs hope you enjoy!
Pure. Fucking. Genius.
You. Flatter. Us.
Heard this song for the first time a few days ago. I’ve watched this video about 6-7x now. Unreal song 10/10
Welcome aboard, glad you finally found it ❤️
@@aviationsband love the new song also!!!
We need more music from you!!!!!!!!!!!
Back again for the millionth time to hear this masterpiece.
This song makes me hopeful for the future. Great to see people put their heart & soul into their craft. Incredible!
🥰
WOW!!! a buddy(fellow TOOL fan) sent me the link to this video and said "you gotta check this out." im glad he did!! you guys got SKILLS!! the ebb and flow is wonderful.
I do like me some Tool ❤️ thanks for listening!
Ok so I completely missed this song, and the reacts from the channels I follow but I heard it on Spotify's Progressive Metal playlist today at work and I couldn't help but just stand in awe and just flow to the music. I think if I wasn't at work, and was in a slightly different mindset I would've absolutely cried listening to this. It sounds sooo much like Time, The Valuator which is what caught my attention bc I love that band. Straight up, this song overtook Reptile by Periphery as my favourite song ever, and I just came here to show my appreciation for this song/video. Fucking, incredible.
That’s incredible 🥰 sounds like Spotify is putting in the work getting the word out. Thank you so much for sharing and for the kind words! And yes! Time, The Valuator is really sick too, I spun their material with their old vocalist a fair bit and they have some very cool music videos.
How can something be this happy and heavy at the same time? Awesome work 👌🏻
Cause we're both equally happy and heavy boys
This is the first time I've heard happy heavy other than the Devin Townsend.
Hands down the greatest song ever written!
😬🥰
Did you check out our new track Coma yet?!?
@@JamesKnoerl I did! I love it sooo much!!! Can't wait for Luminaria to drop!!
If you guys are new to the scene, we hereby welcome you with open arms! This is easily one of the most well-composed and atmospheric songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. I'm amazed to say the least. I pray you guys get the recognition you deserve. Incredible job!
We've been around a while but we know these things take time haha we're patient and happy to be with as many people who want to hang with us as possible. Thanks for being here.
Your music is the equivalent of one of those longer but really beautiful underrated movies. I love all of this so much.
All I can say is......WOW!!!!!! Excellent job my dudes
🥰
Oh my god I really didnt expect that breakdown section! This whole song really feels like more of a journey. Good work guys!
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Man...congratulations directly from Brazil. This song is amazing...amazing!! Just thanks for sharing this masterpiece
Thank you for listening though 🥰
Brooooo this was absolutely phenomenal! I am SO GLAD Matthew requested y'all. You have a new fan for life for sure!
Every single time I hear that final chorus 🙌🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Incredible song 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Getting mad Contortionist and David Maxim Micic vibes. It’s absolutely incredible. This is definitely going on my 2020 Fookin Bangahs playlist
beautiful
Wes Everything That Is You is one of the freshest instrumental prog albums of all time, the recurring motifs get me every time, very emotional record.
7:55 I have goosebumps
One of the best song ever imo. On repeat for me
GAWT DAYUM. Talk about an improvement!
Only for u bb 😘
Remember watching Werner's Periphery covers back in the day. He surely has come a long way from back then. Great bass playing!
Unreal music and video, i'll go listen to everything you've ever released.
The Dingwall Facebook page sent me. Freaking awesome. Subbed.
I can't count how many times I screamed from excitement during the epic breakdown. Nothing about this was not perfect. Even the video production was top notch. The singer had a Sleep Token vibe which I loved. More power to you guys!!
That band is SO GOOD thanks for the comparison
Also, you gotta release a gallery of shots from this video. The cinematography is INSANE!
That's a really good idea actually...
@@aviationsband Ayeeee! Well if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go break this replay button.
Catch you guys next year.
the birb sent me you guys are awesome
this popped up on my spotify, I just had to sit in the car when i got home and let this song finish, i didnt have the heart to cut it short. beautiful.
Amazing 🥰
When I first clicked on this song I thought "jeez, 11 minutes", and when it was over I was left wanting more.
We’re recording more long songs right now and these take a LOT of work haha glad you liked it we’ll see how long we can keep up with longer songs 😅
I waited a nice song, no the best song I heard in months. Congrats, you are incredible!
😘
Two years later and still beautiful
Here's to two more! But you'll have some more like this very very soon too ;)
What did you think of Coma?!?
I remember 7 years ago when I saw Declaration of Sound through bandcamp. It was truly a masterpiece and ahead of its time. Glad the guys made this.
Kinda dropped the ball on releasing music right after that, but I'm loving where we're at and headed now. Thanks for sticking with us :)
We need to start sharing this on every possible platform, lest the rest of the world forget what real talent sounds like! These guys deserve so many more listeners, and you, the people, deserve such a treat! Please keep kicking ass and making musical perfection, AVIATIONS!
I've been hitting up all of Bill Burr's comment sections to let him know about you guys, his fellow Bostonians. Just as the Birb gave you extra exposure a shoutout from his legendary Monday morning podcast could really help get the attention your band deserves. I strongly suggest you reach out to him if you can, he's a seasoned metal/rock fan with an ear for good music. Have a great day, greetings from Melbourne.
That would be amazing I love his podcast. Thanks for doing that! 🥰
Am I the only one who didn't want this to end?
This is fucking amazing. Tesseract made love to Periphery and Plini, and the birthed child is a mutant hybrid that is Outliers.
for some weird reason ,this band remainds me band - painted in exile
We love those albums and know those guys, their bass player recorded the bass tracks on our last album :D
this song just makes me feel safe of sorts, its pretty hard to go through life of course, but it feels harder with my anxiety and constant suspicions of everyone, but this just feels soothing, and safe, thank you (even if its pretty heavy lol)
❤️ thanks for sharing, glad it’s able to do that for you :) I hope the new material can serve a similar role when it’s finally out, it’s definitely bringing me to similar places emotionally
You and Dream Theater on the same stage. OMFG. I'd think I died and went to heaven and was listening to the Heavenly Band.
Safehouse hype
Ayoooo🎉
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in years. The bass tone, the beautiful tranquil piano bits, the chonky, djenty riffs, the vocals and the drumming, just literal perfection. After the breakdown but and the vocals came back in, i reared up, this struck my emotional cords and very rarely does a song do that. Thank you for this and please never quit making music, such talent and beauty.
It took a lot out of us to put this together but we learned a lot along the way. Excited for the new music we have coming next year we're already honing in on moments that fans of this song will definitely enjoy. 2021!
Listened to this song probably 30 times already. This should seriously be on everyone’s top 50 greatest songs of all time!
You accidentally put a zero in 'Top 5' 🤘
This is the first prog metal song to bring me to tears, fucking hell. Insanely beautiful.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this song. Metalbirb put me on it definitely a fan of y’all now
Welcome aboard we're stoked to have you
Same! Metalbirb and Aviations for the win!
The same for me! I'm definitely a fan now!🔥🤟
