Ever discover an amazing band that has been around for a while and you cant figure out why they are not widely considered the best band in their genre? well that's my situation with Capstan this week....
The world I thought I knew Dissolved and born again In the form of truth I was unprepared All of my indiscretions digested at the same time Crushing self-awareness without a warning sign There’s no warning sign For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d apologize from the bottom of it Self-destruction is hard to admit Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath I can’t believe I let myself get this far Consistently tearing myself apart Reconstruction so out of reach Redemption’s in the wreckage Just dig deep beneath I’ve been avoiding divine intervention I’ve had my head in the clouds but now I’m ready to come down I’m hell bound Devil on my shoulder hello my old friend Have you come to gamble with me again The stakes are raised I’ll put it all down on red Or let the black send me to my end For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d apologize from the bottom of it Self-destruction is hard to admit Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath I can’t believe I let myself get this far Consistently tearing myself apart Reconstruction so out of reach Redemption’s in the wreckage Just dig deep beneath Such destruction formed by untimely circumstance Reality misconception through a psychedelic trance The requiem played on Yet there was no one to dance All mankind caught in a loveless romance Are we so desensitized that we’ve forgotten what’s real Numbing life down to a complacent synthetic feel I will not bow down to this out of touch reality We live lifeless lives Glorify your mortality Hold on to every moment when you’re overwhelmed and brought to tears So out of touch and hardened Why is it that we can’t grasp these years Not the lost hope or sadness but burdens we’ve conquered in times of madness

This song is a masterpiece! I get goosebumps from reading and thinking about the lyrics... Psychadelics are a major influence on the songwriting. Absolutley mindblowing! Thank you so much for putting this out into the universe!!! 😭😍

The world I thought I knew
Dissolved and born again
In the form of truth
I was unprepared
All of my indiscretions digested at the same time
Crushing self-awareness without a warning sign
There’s no warning sign
For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d apologize from the bottom of it
Self-destruction is hard to admit
Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath
I can’t believe I let myself get this far
Consistently tearing myself apart
Reconstruction so out of reach
Redemption’s in the wreckage
Just dig deep beneath
I’ve been avoiding divine intervention
I’ve had my head in the clouds but now I’m ready to come down
I’m hell bound
Devil on my shoulder hello my old friend
Have you come to gamble with me again
The stakes are raised I’ll put it all down on red
Or let the black send me to my end
For the past five years I’ve been a wreck if I could find my heart I’d apologize from the bottom of it
Self-destruction is hard to admit
Staring at the aftermath of an ego death I close my eyes and catch my breath
I can’t believe I let myself get this far
Consistently tearing myself apart
Reconstruction so out of reach
Redemption’s in the wreckage
Just dig deep beneath
Such destruction formed by untimely circumstance
Reality misconception through a psychedelic trance
The requiem played on
Yet there was no one to dance
All mankind caught in a loveless romance
Are we so desensitized that we’ve forgotten what’s real
Numbing life down to a complacent synthetic feel
I will not bow down to this out of touch reality
We live lifeless lives
Glorify your mortality
Hold on to every moment when you’re overwhelmed and brought to tears
So out of touch and hardened
Why is it that we can’t grasp these years
Not the lost hope or sadness but burdens we’ve conquered in times of madness
I've never fucking identified with a song so hard in my 30yrs of existence. Holy shit. Bravo.
Capstan will always be amongst my favorite melodic hardcore bands. They’ve helped me through so much in my life and for that I’m forever grateful
