    Vocalist Dan Tompkins comments on the video: "As musicians we've never had 'overnight' success; we've all worked tirelessly for well over a decade and committed to many personal sacrifices to exist as a band. Survival is a hard hitting song about the struggles we've encountered along the way but specifically and especially about the strain and burden of being apart from our loved ones to whom we are forever beholden for their steadfast and loving support. The idea behind our video represents that struggle for Survival and the burning desire to be reunited with our families after long periods of absence"
    With the stunning Derbyshire landscape as a backdrop ‘Survival’ was filmed & directed by Pele Newell (www.pelenewell.com ) he said “Working with TesseracT has been great, it's nice to work with people that are so passionate about what they do.” On the video concept he comments”The video is set in the near future where Imani (The actors) has been framed. Central are hunting him down as they have already captured his family. He's on a constant battle to find them without being captured himself.”

    Lyrics;
    Will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow
    Will I disappear?
    Will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow
    Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light
    Will I disappear?
    With the memory of the sorrow
    Will I disappear?
    Until I can’t feel the light
    Ten years of hope have passed, you felt alone
    And pictured life a little differently
    And people say that life has just begun
    You waited patiently, a lotus in the sun
    You radiate from me in luminescent light
    And people say that life has just begun
    When you're not a part of me I feel dead inside
    Disturbed - will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow
    Until I can’t feel the light
    Disturbed - and I get the feeling I’ve been here before
    I'm the abandoner
    Ten years of sorrow pass and no pleasure in the sun
    You couldn’t cope in all honesty
    The secrets of the past will come undone
    Seasons of change elapse on an omen's trust
    Faithfully until the day you die
    And people say the journey’s just begun
    When you're not a part of me, I feel dead inside
    Disturbed - will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow
    Or will I fall?
    Disturbed - and I get the feeling I’ve been here before
    Disturbed - will I disappear with the vision of tomorrow
    Or will I fall?
    Disturbed - and I get the feeling I’ve been here before
    I'm the abandoner

TesseracT will always be that one band that I will keep as a reference at the back of my mind while listening to any other band. Thank you TesseracT. Keep inspiring.

    The comment stream on here is a true testament to the paradox that is human opinion. Our own opinion on things such as music, religion, etc tends to be about as flexible as stone. However, we see no problem spending a great deal of time and effort trying to convince others' that their opinion is wrong. Persuasion (and human psychology in general) is an art form very, very few of us seem to comprehend. Two words - "Dale Carnegie".

  • @Mathieew
    @Mathieew 9 лет назад +34

    Great song, really. In my opinion, it's quite different from what TesseracT has written before, in it's structure. Survival has a bit more of a typical "Verse-chorus"-structure than their other material. The rest of it strikes me as more progressive in that manner. Of course, this still strikes me with those gorgeous TesseracT-vibes I've grown to love, and it's mind blowing and unique. :)

    • @offensivebiasmusic
      @offensivebiasmusic 9 лет назад

      I thinks that's what throws people off with the way the song is structured. I love it, but it leaves me wondering how it would sound without the "verse-chorus" structure. I had to critique but I feel this song would have a lot more emotion if it was structured differently. But then again Tesseract writes what they want to write, and that's why I respect them.

    • @ericswearingenmusic9967
      @ericswearingenmusic9967 9 лет назад

      listen again, the first part never returns.. same vocal line but totally different meters.. then verse chorus, middle section verse chorus... still nothing conventional about it. conventional is a,b,a,b,c,b... this is a,b,c,d,b,c

    • @ericswearingenmusic9967
      @ericswearingenmusic9967 9 лет назад

    • @offensivebiasmusic
      @offensivebiasmusic 9 лет назад +3

      I forgot to mention that I do like this type of song writing, and yeah its not all conventional. There is just something about a more progressive way of writing, say a song like, Exile. That song builds upon itself, slowly over time. I just wonder what it would sound like if they took an approach that was more along the lines of a song like that.

    When it comes to music, I listen to pretty much anything. But of all the music that I've ever heard, nothing has made the same impact on me as Tesseract does. Concealing fate was amazing. One was unique. Perspective was beautiful. Altered State was mesmerizing, and I think that Polaris will be mind-blowing. Let's just all appreciate the amazing talents in this band, those who were and those who are. I loved every single vocalist, but for me, Dan will always be the best. Such an amazing singer, happy he's back.

    After some time now of listening to this album, I think it's its best song... Which means that it's perfect, because the other songs are bloody great

    Chills, literally.
    Really digging it after messenger was kind of weird with the vocal effects. Really nice vocal harmonies in there as well. Sounds like altered state, and that is a good thing!
