listened to this song for the fifth or six time so far and realized that the build up and resolution from 5:00 to 8:22 is the greatest thing I've heard in a while from Circa. I like metal/rock fans because we learn that many things can come to be appreciated with time and not simply dismissed because it doesn't make us go "wow" the first few seconds of listening.
"Descensus" You have everything you could want And you waste it In a marriage where you can't decide How to break it right Ever changing the places you hide (We will find) An excuse in whatever you choose (Let this die) Trickle down your face, tears of pleasure Mixed with tears of pain They taste the same as everyone insisted I won't let you go until the end You have everything you could need And you waste it On a partnership that you hate So you break it Ever changing the places you hide (We will fight) An excuse in whatever you choose (Let this die) Trickle down your face, tears of pleasure Mixed with tears of pain They taste the same as everyone insisted I won't let you go until the end If you could try and get your timing right I'll let you stay if you can eat the pain Taking it's place, just let me disappear If we forget, I'll do it all again There is no home there when your heart is gone The secret is clear if you could eat the fear Where it can grow, no one will ever know If you could try and get your timing right Leave it alone Look at how much it's grown I'll be okay if I can sell the pain Look and you'll see If I didn't make all these mistakes then I wouldn't be losing Wondering, openly, devilish, we've let it go too far I know I let you down Somehow we mustn't let this die There isn't anything I ever wanted more
so i was playing this song in my room pretty loud and my dad, who doesn't listen to this kind of music, was overhearing it from the living room. i could hear him sniffling towards the end of the song.. i thought he was sick but turns out the majestic emotional roller coaster that is circa survive had got to him. Circa Survive goes straight to the soul.
Bruh I wanted more of the guitar breakdown at the bridge. Gave me the chills. Think 2nd bridge they were going to elongate it at least. But sometimes that wanting of it makes the song so much better, less is more.
Matthew Washburn That bass is literally the best part. Haha. I love the way it sounds so much. Especially with the guitars sounding majestic on either side.
I found this song and band maybe three years ago. Recently going through some extremely tough times, I have to say even after all these years the period from 2:41 to the send of the song has to be the heaviest most atmospheric breakdown I’ve ever heard
"If I didn't make all these mistakes then I wouldn't be losing Wondering openly devilish, we let it go too far I know I let you down, somehow we mustn't let this die" Those lyrics hit me especially hard for some reason. The feelings of regret and misery expressed by Anthony's heartfelt vocals combined with the slow, somber instrumentals in the background are so intense it brings me to tears every time.
This section right here might be Anthony's best work ever. The tone in his voice and the lyrics are so authentic. It's sad that we hurt the ones we love when deep down they are EVERYTHING to us...
YES! I saw the lyrics on google and I knew they were wrong, and I was trying to piece together what he actually said. I'm glad you posted what they really are.
I'm a huge circa fan, I have juturna tattooed on me... This album is the small space they've been missing. Circa hit the nail on the head with this one. Anthony greens lyrics are amazing in this song.
I also have a juturna tattoo haha. But I have had a hard time loving post OLG albums. Blue sky noise has grown on me. But this is my fav circa song since OLG
I love the way Circa Survive makes me feel. I either feel like a child and the world so new, vast, and exciting. Or I feel like I'm in the womb, vulnerable, but safe and protected.
I think I know what you mean... each detail of life had its own emotion when I was younger. I forgot exactly how Green's singing and the hazy music would make me feel. I just listen to chill now, but the strange warmth/coolness that would cradle my heart when I'd hear this...
Personally, this is the best song on the album, it was long and dragged at first listen, but after awhile, it really got to me, and it's down right epic! Also song ends at least 20 seconds too early, but it's nothing different from this ending.
I just love how this whole album is, even down to the artwork. Realised fairly recently that all the songs in the album have a picture in the artwork representing them. Extremely well thought out
Love this band! I've went off of heavy music recently and gotten into more lighter/experimental stuff. This song flows emotion, whether you think it drags... It is a masterpiece!
I can make out the first 2 background vocals in the epilogue of the song. 1st: "All I want of you." 2nd: "I don't ever want to feel like this." The 3rd part I can't make out. Since the 2nd part is from one of the earlier songs, I think they all are. Gotta do some lyrics disection.
You have everything you could want and you wasted In a marriage when you can't decide how to break it right And the chains in the pleasure you find (we will find) An excuse in whatever you choose (let me start) Trickled down your face, tears of pleasure Mixed with tears of pain They taste the same as everyone existed I won't let you go until you hate You have everything you could need, and you wasted On a partnership that you hate, so you break it And the chains in the pleasure you find (we will find) An excuse in whatever you choose (let me start) Trickled down your face, tears of pleasure Mixed with tears of pain They taste the same as everyone existed I won't let you go until you hate
The counter melodies in this song are so fucking mind blowing.... not to mention the mix so that not a single thing is lost musically or vocally is insane. Every time I listen I get more and more mind fucked, and I love it.
Descensus Lyrics (as interpreted by me!)

LYRICS - so this is my interpretation of the lyrics.. I know it's not perfect, but i didnt really see anyone else that had most of the lyrics (and some key lyrics incorrect) so i tried best i could to get the most accurate but nothing i could find was truly official (I'm not looking to argue with anyone over these lyrics unless they have something legit for a reference because THESE lyrics are not official). The background lyrics are incredibly difficult to make out, sounds like its saying "all i wonder is" or "All I wanna do" or "All I want is you". Then the OTHER background lyrics I just cant make out at all =\ anyways for those that were interested or found this helpful... ;) also if anyone knows where the "official" lyrics are lemme know.. cuz this is my jam! Seacrest OUT!
I've listened to every Circa Survive song and even some that I bet you've never heard of. You are all wrongly assuming that I am just discovering this band or have no knowledge of their previous work. None of their previous songs have as much raw and heavy energy.
Favorite song on this album. I was not too impressed with their last two albums, in comparison to their first two anyway, but this album is great. Come to Vegas!!!!!! I feel like circa plays at the same cities just about every tour ):
I am so picky with music Circa is the ONLY band I can call perfect and this album hits that realm. It's so surreal how they are able to keep giving us new unique music 5 albums in a row pushing the boundaries getting better every time. Proof they love their sound, music in general, and each other because how else can you write like that. Such keen vibes and unbearable passion represented in all of their songs. Here are my fav albums from best to least best 1. Descensus 2. Violent Waves 3. Blue Sky Noise (This album relates to me the best) 4. Juterna 5. On Letting Go
Some people from fan base want the sounding of Juturna back. I love Juturna, but Circa Survive evolved far beyond Juturna. Blue Sky Noise was my fav, until Descensus came in .)
I go back and listen to Blue Sky Noise (I'm not a big fan of Juturna for some reason?) but I LOVE the fact that every album really shows an evolution in the band. They just keep getting better and better and better.
The Judge from blue sky noise till decensus, Anthony was doing alot of heroin. Went to rehab during post production in decensus, came back, did a awesome interview and mentioned that Child of the Desert and Nesting dolls were songs inspired by his heroin use/withdrawal.

wow fuck I was high.
High or not, those were beautiful truthful words my friend.
ablougabla I completely agree with you my friend. I was completely sober and it changed my life. Cheers.
Some say their new albums are not as good as their first two, the production and composition here begs to differ I say.
"Descensus"
You have everything you could want
And you waste it
In a marriage where you can't decide
How to break it right
Ever changing the places you hide
(We will find)
An excuse in whatever you choose
(Let this die)
Trickle down your face, tears of pleasure
Mixed with tears of pain
They taste the same as everyone insisted
I won't let you go until the end
You have everything you could need
And you waste it
On a partnership that you hate
So you break it
Ever changing the places you hide
(We will fight)
An excuse in whatever you choose
(Let this die)
Trickle down your face, tears of pleasure
Mixed with tears of pain
They taste the same as everyone insisted
I won't let you go until the end
If you could try and get your timing right
I'll let you stay if you can eat the pain
Taking it's place, just let me disappear
If we forget, I'll do it all again
There is no home there when your heart is gone
The secret is clear if you could eat the fear
Where it can grow, no one will ever know
If you could try and get your timing right
Leave it alone
Look at how much it's grown
I'll be okay if I can sell the pain
Look and you'll see
If I didn't make all these mistakes then I wouldn't be losing
Wondering, openly, devilish, we've let it go too far
I know I let you down
Somehow we mustn't let this die
There isn't anything I ever wanted more
F F S thank you very mucb
Thank you
Does anybody know where that last lyric at the end is?? I can’t hear it for the life of me.
so i was playing this song in my room pretty loud and my dad, who doesn't listen to this kind of music, was overhearing it from the living room. i could hear him sniffling towards the end of the song.. i thought he was sick but turns out the majestic emotional roller coaster that is circa survive had got to him.

Austin James Thank you for sharing this. This song does really dig right in you.
Austin James I couldn't make up a bullshit story like this even if i tried
Lol good point sir
But no he was actually sitting in the living room staring at a blank tv lol
Circa Survive op
It's amazing how they can repeat the same bass line for literally over 6 minutes, and yet, I'm always disappointed that it has to end.
Haha yes
It's all a dance around the bass!! The drums can vary if the bass line doesn't and i find that very rich
Bruh I wanted more of the guitar breakdown at the bridge. Gave me the chills. Think 2nd bridge they were going to elongate it at least. But sometimes that wanting of it makes the song so much better, less is more.
You have everything you could want, and you waste it
Buy the record on vinyl... It never ends lol
I can't stop cranking the speakers up when the bass line hits at 2:41. So good.
Matthew Washburn That bass is literally the best part. Haha. I love the way it sounds so much. Especially with the guitars sounding majestic on either side.

I'm a huge circa fan, I have juturna tattooed on me...
This album is the small space they've been missing. Circa hit the nail on the head with this one.
Anthony greens lyrics are amazing in this song.

Happy 28 bro
@@wardenod7164 Thanks man, hope you are well!
I feel like crying and headbanging to this song.
It has a feel of all their albums combined. Definitely their best album in my opinion.
This is my favorite song they've ever made. Great job, guys.
Glad to hear Nick's heavy bass tones really come through on this track. Needless to say, this album is yet again, perfection. Thank you, Circa.
this song has strong Doomgaze vibes that are hard to shake off... this album is soooooo good its ridiculous! favorite song along with sovereign circle
FatLikeKessel Is doomgaze a thing??? Cause that section of the song sounds fucking amazing and I want more of it. Hahaha.
Doomgaze??
You can feel the Deftones influence in your balls. It's fucking great
i think u mean HUM
Deftones are my second favorite band of all time and I totally get what you mean. You can totally hear it.
Totally Best singer than Chino
I just got wrapped up in a giant cozy blanket of rock n roll.
Heard this song at zumiez yesterday (5/15/16) fell in love so quick.
That final minute is such an amazing part. Literally, it's so epic, i wish that part was the whole song.
Reminds me of Heaven Walk, Hell Walk (God Walk, Devil Walk) by Oceana. Love this slightly heavier side of Circa
Some people don't even know about that song man it's one of my favs
Alex Moreau Nah! That song is really one of my favorite by Oceana.
Totally thought you said Oceano the deathcore band
That's an amazing song. Now they're Polyenso.
FUCK YES! I'm so glad people have heard that song. Polyenso is dope as fuck too
Wow I love this so much. Have the entire album on repeat.
This song is just so soothing.
Nic
I've got about 3,000 of the views myself.
I get shivers at the switch up at 1:23. Too epic.
What a friggin album this one. Circa never disappoints.
Personally, this is the best song on the album, it was long and dragged at first listen, but after awhile, it really got to me, and it's down right epic!
Also song ends at least 20 seconds too early, but it's nothing different from this ending.
Anytime I see a track that goes over 6 minutes I know to buckle up for a fucking ride.
this song has the best switch up and i’ll never get tired of it
this song! its heavy but then it touches you gently out of no where. its so soothing.
Hearing this song many years later makes me realize all that time getting lost listening to this song wasn't wasted after all.
This song speaks to my soul.
This song makes me sad :(
You bring back my high school butterflies with this powerful sound.
this song is so good, one of my favorites of all their songs
all their music's always been dear to me
15/8, 13/8, 15/8, 13/8, 15/8, 13/8, 15/8, 13/8, 4/4 straight, 4/4 triple feel, 6/4
Damn, this song's crazy. Favorite song on the album
***** 4/4
+Adam Badgley i don't know what this means but fuck yea.
+Christopher Kremer Might be something to do with the drum. beats or something xD (guess from his profile pic)
+FiRsT465 I know i was joking. i play drums and those are some leet sauce time signatures.. : / I Praise Stephen Clifford for his tasty jams.
Christopher Kremer aaah, thank you xD
This is my favorite song off their new record and Phantom my second. Idk why. Anyways, I hope I can make it to the show this weekend!
excelente temaaa! lml venezuela presente!
So blessed to hear this song acoustic.. best version ever..!!!
Please people give this a few listen throughs. I couldn't stand this song at first, but it's now my favorite off the album.
I just love how this whole album is, even down to the artwork. Realised fairly recently that all the songs in the album have a picture in the artwork representing them. Extremely well thought out
Love this band! I've went off of heavy music recently and gotten into more lighter/experimental stuff.
This song flows emotion, whether you think it drags... It is a masterpiece!
the one that deserved a music video
The last verse of this has been every new human interaction I've made in the past few years. I am so tired.
This song is everything. Oh god.
Good morning world!! Thank you for giving us Circa
I love this song....
“I know I let you down, somehow we mustn’t let this die.”
Such an amazing track, one of their best. The climax at the end is phenomenal
Amazing.
This band is fucking amazing. seeing them live in SF next month
in love with this work
from 5 mins out...beyond beautiful.
the contrast in this song is so interesting.
Hearing Anthony Green, units of time just mesh together rather than ticking.
The definition of the word decensus: the slipping our falling out of place of an organ (as the uterus). Prolapse.
Holy shit, this is different for them. Amazing.
Keep it simple and the songs will be great... The feel is what makes a song great yet the majority wont understand...
I can make out the first 2 background vocals in the epilogue of the song.
1st: "All I want of you."

wow I'm not even through listening to the whole song and it's already declared badass, for sure.
This song is a bit heavy for them, but damn does it kick some ass.
Sure I can. They haven't made anything quite as heavy as this song. Obviously bands evolve....
Camp Circa listen to more circa. they go hard
listem suspending desbelief, this song looks like a mix of mandala e suspending of desbelief
I've listened to every Circa Survive song and even some that I bet you've never heard of. You are all wrongly assuming that I am just discovering this band or have no knowledge of their previous work. None of their previous songs have as much raw and heavy energy.
My point exactly. The bass makes this song stand out.
The world couldn't turn without this but it's flat 👀
this song is amazing so glad my friends friend showed me this
What do the lyrics mean exactly in this song..its too abstract for me. I love this song..would love to know Circa Fans opinion on this.
hope projects circa’s lyrics hit me in the feels despite me not understanding what they actually mean
@@stayfrosty8404 I think that's the point. Emotional distress crowds your ability to process language.
I wish I could've seen them play this album live 😩
Alexandra Ortiz one day they’ll do a ten year reunion for this
This is fucking beautiful.
The BEST
Listen almost everyday
Maybe the best Circa song
Idk why but i can hear another guest Chino appearance in this song hahaha
This is a total Deftones influenced song, which makes it that much better!
This song haunts me man.
This band is powerful
the 6 minute gap is me in a pool floating looking at the stars.
I've at least accounted for 500 of these listens.
Circa Survive's most beautiful and sublime song, come at me bro
:( hit my feelings
On ear buds after the song is over if you listen close you can hear descending chimes.
why does it seem to end before its supposed to?
In the words of Mr. Green himself...Sometimes things don't need an ending...they just end.
its because sumerian records don't know how to upload full song... its croped in the end
Sven Tomanic
i dont think it is idk i need to listen to the record version again
+Jordan Kanner i'm sure i'm right. They croped song a little bit
+Sven Tomanic I just compared length of the youtube video and the album version and they are the same length.
in medical school and just realized that "Descensus" in medical terms means a uterine prolapse
Favorite song on this album. I was not too impressed with their last two albums, in comparison to their first two anyway, but this album is great. Come to Vegas!!!!!! I feel like circa plays at the same cities just about every tour ):
I'm getting an antenna-era cave in vibe
somehow we musn't let this die...
It kind of sounds like Tillian in the background around 6:48
Does anyone know what it says in the background of the song? From minute 5? Please!!!!?

Proof they love their sound, music in general, and each other because how else can you write like that. Such keen vibes and unbearable passion represented in all of their songs. Here are my fav albums from best to least best
1. Descensus
2. Violent Waves
3. Blue Sky Noise (This album relates to me the best)
4. Juterna
5. On Letting Go
2022 ❤
Some people from fan base want the sounding of Juturna back. I love Juturna, but Circa Survive evolved far beyond Juturna. Blue Sky Noise was my fav, until Descensus came in .)
I go back and listen to Blue Sky Noise (I'm not a big fan of Juturna for some reason?) but I LOVE the fact that every album really shows an evolution in the band. They just keep getting better and better and better.
Anthony Green was also on a decent plethora of substances when Juturna came out.
The Judge from blue sky noise till decensus, Anthony was doing alot of heroin. Went to rehab during post production in decensus, came back, did a awesome interview and mentioned that Child of the Desert and Nesting dolls were songs inspired by his heroin use/withdrawal.
Can somebody tell me what this song is about in very intrigued in this lyrics. Help!!!!
Look up what Descensus means and then think about drug use and overcoming addiction. I get that from Anthony's lyrics.

Holy fuck...where did you hear this from?
FatedCircle Check out the article The Huffington Post did on Circa Survive: huff.to/1yIr1tC
Jason Phelps so are the songs child of the Desert and Nesting dolls

you have everything you want
the breakdown reminds me of newer lantlos

i am old and weak and
pray to the Great Altruist that the bark
may be stripped from me
so i can stand this
Twin Peaks vibes
fuck i love this song so much
it's been 3 years my dudes:(
what exactly is the meaning of this song?
This song is all about the 2:40-5:00. At least, for me it is.
