Circa Survive - The Amulet (September 22, 2017) Album • Page 97

Exquisitely done!

Was the Silverstein one abandoned?

 

"On each of The Amulet’s eleven tracks..."

Eleven, eh? What are you hiding from us?

 

God I suck haha

 

I know this isn’t the official Circa thread but since it’s the most active...

Last year, after going through a pretty shitty breakup, the lyric “you are in my dreams. half human, half machine” brought on a whole new meaning to me and paints such vivid imagery. I love that line so much. It’s almost too real *shudders*

Edit: i'm sure this song/lyric can mean myriad of things to different people but to me it's a very stark image

 

It's the very best Circa lyric. of all of them

 

It gets me every single time! It’s not just the lyrics but the way it is delivered as well

 

Yep. Amazing vocals in that verse

 

Better than "You treat me like a disease oh and it's been killing me"? I THINK NOT.

 

"I don't want to feel like this ever ever ever ever ever again"

"6AM, I'm thinking about how lonely I've been"

lol

 

“God, money, and women will turn you mad
Always reaching for something that you can't have
God, money, and women will bring you down
Always searching for something that's not been found”

GOAT



lol

 

If we're talking about unfavorable Circa lyrics here, I gotta say, I'm not crazy about Anthony's usage of "fucked" in the title track here. Have no problem with cursing and I still love the song but it never fails to briefly take me out of the listening experience. Just feels a little... gratuitous? I mean hey it's clearly the word he felt best applied, so whatever. Just feel like it kinda comes outta nowhere.

 

What'd you end up thinking of it?

 

It works perfect imo

 

Always thought the lyrics to Lazarus and Nesting Dolls were great, especially Nesting Dolls given the context

 

Those lyrics from Lazarus comprise one of the most heart-wrenching moments in the band's discography "lmao"

 

That section of In the Morning is so good, even better when it's repeated in the bridge. I never clicked with Lazarus like everyone else.

 

ICYMI - my review

Circa Survive - The Amulet • chorus.fm

 

I enjoy Lazarus, but I feel the same way about it. I've never loved it quite as much as everyone else here.

 

Hey @Your Milkshake your heart isn't being appropriately wrenched. Address this posthaste.

 

I don't like this that much.

Just ain't sticking with me.

 

Why don't those lyrics work for you?

 

My people

 

Lazarus is a top 5 Circa song

 

Easy there, killer

 

lol, “killer”

I don’t dislike the song, just don’t love it like most people
