LYRICS:
I came into this world an unmarked page,
but I've stained the paper with lines that I cannot erase.
Discarded my identity,
a fragment of what I used to be.
An iron mind in paper walls
Is not a stable foundation in this ongoing storm,
and now these hands of stone have eroded, collapsed again.
I see a stranger's face
Staring in the mirror,
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way.
Caught in an empty space,
I never thought I'd be here,
Each day I feel it take a part of me.
No retribution.
No compromise.
Selfishly self-immolating inside.
Burn me alive.
I've seen the other side.
Burn me, set me alight
I see a stranger's face
Staring in the mirror,
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way.
Caught in an empty space,
I never thought I'd be here,
Each day I feel it take a part of me.
I can't deny this feeling
I can't ignore the pain
Of knowing I am human,
And we all feel the fucking same.
We're all born to feel this way.
And so I ask myself,
Is the measure of a man, his character, his worth,
contained by what his heart holds or contained within his works?
My motivations have never strayed,
But somewhere I think they were buried along the way.
I see a stranger's face
Staring in the mirror,
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way.
Caught in an empty space,
I never thought I'd be here,
Each day I feel it take a part of me.
I've seen the other side.

I noticed this version is a little different from the album version though, amirite? Nonetheless, Polaris are going to be huge. I have a feeling this song is about a traumatic event and the struggles of depersonalization or something in similar nature. Can total relate with the lyrics. Been there, done that.

[@xer9883]

+Hansol This is now my fav song thanks to you and hansol 5 :)

[@Mer134]

+Hansol The classic example of gamers exposing good music. Cheers :)

[@synix7331]

[@ervwow6672]

[@EliotRao]

[@bati_core]

I'm falling in love with older tracks of Polaris omg
They're just as good as new ones

[@kevinbif6569]

How can Australian bands be that better than any other bands ? Did their parents give them talent for breakfast as they were kids ? For fuck sake we need to see bands like this live in here. Please leave your evil snakes, spiders & whatever that's scary as shit and come burn our stages.
From Europe with love.

[@eee832]

[@jlyb96]

Brian Donovan I know, man. All we got is shit and Mcdonalds.

[@NexusRetribution]

Joseph Lybarger Don't forget Periphery.

[@PrivateRyker123]

Brian Donovan Yeah dude we have Periphery and Animals As Leaders. All is not lost.

[@unsilentsin]

[@jlyb96]

My friends and I have fallen in love with this and your Dichotomy EP and we neeeeed to see you guys live.. like.. NOW!

[@OhhMarzz]

That chorus is way to on point

[@ChenChennesen]

3:40 onwards made me want to jump on my cat jesus christ so good

[@PolarisAus]

Josiah Sarunn Please don't jump on your cat.

[@JanDrly]

Hansol showed me this band,
Hansol forced me to listen to this song for like 500x times
I realized I cannot spend my day without listening to it at least once...
Conclusion = YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME BAND ^^

[@MattHarnettMusic]

LOST ALONG THE WAYYY

[@xSquishiiKatastrophy]

I can feel the ryan siew in this track.

[@RickSchreder]

Can you still feel me, baby?

[@jlyb96]

Rick Schneider Oh, don't worry. We still feel you, Rick.

[@xSquishiiKatastrophy]

Rick Schneider I can feel you. I feel that slow brush of guitar riffs caressing my face.

[@grandemcfloofin8376]

4 months since it happened and still it hurts... Rest in peace Ryan ❤

[@jfrets15]

chorus gives me such an atreyu vibe

[@grandemcfloofin8376]

I'm not very familiar with atreyu's work except for wrong side of the bed and exes and ohs. Can you recommend some songs similar to this one?

[@metalheadsam707]

God I'm so excited for the new album guys! You need to come to the U.S soon!XD
Keep it up Polaris :')

[@MrScreamCream]

2:22 is so intense, i love it

[@philippejoseph1215]

love u

[@Beeraii1]

What the fuck, are you guys even capable of a less-than-perfect release?
If this is the quality of the new album then 2015 is gonna be a huge year

[@michaelknowles2652]

I came into this world an unmarked page
But I've stained the paper with lines that I cannot erase
Discarded my identity
A fragment of what I used to be
An iron mind in paper walls
Is not a stable foundation in this ongoing storm
And now these hands of stone have eroded (eroded)
Collapsed again
I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way)
Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here
Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me)
No retribution, no compromise
Selfishly self-immolating inside
Burn, burn me alive, I've seen the other side
Burn me, set me alight
I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way)
Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here
Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me)
Takes a part of me
I can't deny this feeling, I can't ignore the pain
Of knowing I am human, and we all feel the fucking same
We're all born to feel this way
So I ask myself
Is the measure of a man, his character, his worth
Contained by what his heart holds or contained within his works?
My motivations have never strayed
But somewhere I think they were buried along the way
I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way)
Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here
Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me)
I've seen the other side

[@michaelknowles2652]

I couldn’t find anywhere where I can read the lyrics and hear this masterpiece at the same time. So I copied and pasted from musixmatch. If lyrics are wrong please don’t criticize.

[@rocklobstar5672]

@@michaelknowles2652 you use musixmatch? Me too it's freaking great except I can't open it from my notifications half the time. Well more than half the time. It's annoying. Idk if it's their software or my phone but I have a galaxy note 9. Do you have the same issue?

[@ervwow6672]

Hansol anyone?

[@petehillie1]

Such an amazing song! Incredible lyrics too. I love : Is the measure of a man, his character, his worth, contained by what his heart holds or contained within his works?
Such a poignant question about identity and self worth.

[@benjiq16]

Been a fan since summit, you guys are seriously the best thing coming out of sydney. Everything you've done up to now is brutal, keep it up guys

[@WildWildWeasel]

The bass player sings better than the lead singer xD

[@williamstraney9127]

Why was this removed form Spotify :(

[@ryanevans3901]

This one is still a foot tapper

[@johnbubble1]

goood shit...very uplifting. You and Novelists would do well together on tour.

[@KCYON]

I really hope you guys and Glass Ocean are going to be Australia's new top emerging bands haha. Great stuff!!

[@c1337h]

Do you guys ever plan on going to the US for any shows? I'd love to attend one! hope this band grows, it's much deserved:)

[@Gravdood]

this is so good holy shit

[@asant90]

This song is fucking sick!

[@jaykeunit]

Best song by Polaris yet!

[@thisisboundtofail]

iphyb brought me here, & I'm here to stay. How's it go? "Ho. Lee. Fuck."
This is huge..

[@jamirlomax343]

A very underrated song🤘

[@andrewsharpe7630]

Absolute Banger

[@spoildmilk5249]

I was introduced to Polaris in the beginning of 2019, and I could not stop listening for a long time, yet I never really looked back at the older music. This song gives me the exact same vibes as when I just started listening and I can't get enough of it. This band helped me get through the last two years and I can't see a future without listening to this

[@uhhhhuhh934]

why does the tune of the part of the chorus where they sing "lost along the way" sound so familiar

[@lammykins09]

Riff at 2:36 = AMAZING!

[@gianlucca4859]

yep, love that riff

[@natepike3211]

The vocals on this sound more like dichotomy than TG&TG. Was this recorded earlier and then rerecorded for the album?

[@NimbusHex]

It really seems like it. The differences in the single vs the album version are subtle, but clearly there. Jamie does lower and longer screams here. Both versions have an appeal, can't say one is better than the other.

[@kaneorm]

Holy shit! Dem feels. Such a good track!

[@rancidzulu7443]

lol I´ve been listening to the instrumental version this whole time without knowing it originally had vocals

[@NessDog311]

This is honestly one of the best songs of 2015 so far. Hands down.

[@etrain8885]

You guys hit this song out of the park, it's just so good.

[@masonenfinger3135]

this gives me the tingleys in the best way possible.
keep it up guys!

[@bookydave8797]

Love it!! Keep up the great work and come and tour round the uk some time !! :D

[@Ultimexx]

Hansol brought me here :P

[@ander2jl]

I love you. I don't know what else to say m8.

[@vislumbredoinfinito8967]

Esta banda é muito top. Adoro demais, ancioso pelo no álbum.

[@Nesslingz]

I can sense the emotions put into this song and many other by Polaris absolutely beautiful 🖤🖤

[@lucasgalbani]

2:35 is op.

[@enzo_softwareboi18]

This is an absolute banger! 🤯

[@SBTones]

Very good song! Good Job guys!! I have one question:
The progression of the vocals in the chorus reminds me of another song, but I can't remember.. Anyone here feeling the same?

[@jfrets15]

Hot N Cold by Katy Perry, right before the chorus

[@SBTones]

+Joseph Lauletta are you trolling? xD

[@canran]

Sorry if I'm late dude but this sounds like early We Came As Romans to me if that helps

[@canran]

Maybe the song Mis//Understanding?

[@triplebbb5753]

This song will never get old

[@joshgrimm8443]

the EP version is much better IMO. (vocals and production) still good none the less

[@porcojutras9628]

always more technic, always more scream, always better :P come in north america ! ( Quebec ) :D

[@asigoba]

Perfect balance of musicality and technique, you guys really outdid yourselves. I love the vibes I get from this. It's just perfect, good job :)

[@hudrac_yador]

PLEASE realease it on Bandcamp soon, so i can listen the shit outta the lossless version of this track. It's already awesome.

[@AfterYourBetrayal]

Fucking solid track, nice work guys! we dig!

[@Spar7anProjec7]

A perfect mix of progressive and melodeath... Just... Incredible

[@philippejoseph1215]

2:22

[@lucanwells]

Very Kingdom Of Giant's feels, which is insane to pull off. Loved the first single you guys put out and love this too!

[@wilstinson4004]

How this shit did anyone thumbs down this?
SO rad dudes!

[@jm_hav]

Shit on a stick and call me Steve! Perfect much?

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

Can we get a full length LP of songs just like this? Please...its all I've ever wanted.

[@AshriGC]

Amazing!!! Good work guys :)

[@Ploeg1987]

Great Work Guys! Again a great song! Cheers from the Netherlands!

[@multirockskater]

[@nauzetquinteroernandez30]

[@guccimembrane8820]
