I was asked to do a lyric video for one of the new songs from A Thousand Suns titled Blackout. The video features a very glitch-heavy effect, used to mirror not only the chaotic and serene dynamics of
...
the song itself but also the overall approach the band have taken with the new album.
Lyrics:
I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough you take
And take and take and never say
No / you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down / You push it back down No / you'll never get it inside Push it back down Black out Blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it's not what it seems
No remorse for the trust you're breaking You run but then back you fall Suffocate in the mess you're making You can't get enough you take And take and take and take and take Fuck it Are you listening?
No / you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down / You push it back down No / you'll never get it inside Push it back down / You push it back down No / you've gotta get it inside You push it back down / You push it back down No / you'll never get it inside Push it back down Black out Blood in your eye
Floating down / as colors fill the light We look up from the ground / in fields of paperwhite And floating up / you pass us in the night A future gazing out / a past to overwrite So come down / far below We've been waiting to collect the things you know Come down / far below We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
Come down
Oh
Hope you enjoy it!
