LYRICS
today i lost reality
a severed head was in its place
today the smoke screen faded away
the desert of the real remained
they all lived by my design
we exist and are confined
into a world that has no why
i think that it might finally be time
i see every little tell
every look and every breath
i feel far. i’m out of tune
out of touch with higher good
so suck it back. postulate.
drink it in. suffocate.
i am the one you love to hate
so if this is it,
then celebrate.
just spread your wings
take shape
today i swerved across two lanes
a rotting corpse was in the way
you pinched my hand but i pulled away
it felt like touching ripe decay
is this all just by design?
surrounded by your cardboard signs
scenery that has no why
i think that it might...
i see every little tell
every look and every breath
i feel far. i’m out of tune
out of touch with higher good
so suck it back. postulate.
drink it in. suffocate.
i am the one you love to hate
so if this is it,
then celebrate.
just spread your wings and
take shape
spread your wings
show us who you are
spread your wings
you’ll go far
show us all
show us who you are
spread your wings

This was my favorite song in high school back in 1999.

[@user-vb3jy3qe2s]

3. “Take Shape” (feat. Billy Corgan) “It was awesome working with Billy on this. He was obviously a big inspiration to us in general, and he almost plays a little bit of a narrator role in the song. ‘Take Shape’ is really about feeling like you’re being pushed through a stage play of your life that you really can’t control, like some Truman Show shit, like you’re just a puppet on strings being controlled by your own subconscious or your goals or whatever.” (c) Jami Morgan

[@deceiver444]

1993-1999 were some of the best years in music for sure

[@gimo80]

Wish I could hear 90’s Billy in this, his scream used to be awesome

[@HibernusMortis1]

60 YO here,heard this for the first time on 89.5 WSOU college radio. At first I thought maybe Korn or/and NIN, then Billy Corgan voice I recognize, but was also thinking maybe Linkin Park with that guitar sound... well heard all four of them and learned of the band Code Orange today. :) Caught my ear on the first listen. Kick as song!

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Lol this sounds absolutely nothing like Korn

[@jsomething1116]

My introduction to Code Orange was seeing them open for slipknot a couple years ago. They were great and I’ve been listening ever since. Loving this new stuff! Keep it coming pls

[@alienio4970]

Of course Billy Corgan is in this, this sounds like 90s 🧀 radio rock!

[@chriskimmel1544]

Maybe SiriusXM Radio

[@magmagmagmg]

90s bands didnt “feature” other artists bc its a lame thing to do and this is terrible and sounds more like numetal than 90s rock lol

[@TheBridgesYouBurn]

@@magmagmagmg KoRn is amazing, Coal Chamber, Sevendust, Snot and a few others but there are a lot of Nu Metal bands that didn't age so well or just up and vanished like The Deadlights and Reveille. Nu Metal music is a genre of metal music pioneered by KoRn and Code Orange has opened for KoRn, so in my opinion when I see artists writing music inspired by those they love or those who came before them I think that is a wonderful thing. And Billy Corgan sounds great on this track!

[@majimasmajimemes1156]

Refreshing, to hear Billy's vocals properly mixed for once.

[@nebulous8389]

I'm a big pumpkins fan and this made me chuckle hehe

[@neilanadams5173]

What a remark! Very true.

[@claytuckett1830]

If Billy's vocals lasted longer than 20 seconds in total then maybe you'd actually have some weight behind your comment, but instead this is probably just another disgruntled redditor parroting what the other zombies have said. Don't let the diversity of sound from Billy and the Pumpkins get you down my sad friend, Siamese Dream is always a simple push of a button away.

[@timmcPherrin]

100%

[@Ida-Adriana]

Ouch! Isn’t Billy who did the mixing for pumpkins?! That’s what he used to say in his online diary

[@Jburnage]

Stoked to see these guys at Ozzfest in 2001!

[@Joeo-qk2du]

Yes they performed a great set replacing Korn or was it powerman 6000🤔

[@TheBridgesYouBurn]

Ozzfest 2001 was sort of weak in my opinion, I did love watching Marilyn Manson and Black Sabbath's sets though. I saw that tour in Columbus, Ohio and it was my 3rd Ozzfest, and I'm very grateful for that because many rock/metal fans will never have that chance.

[@TheBridgesYouBurn]

Billy has been a huge fan of KoRn for many years ago, he loved the nu metal movement including Limp Bizkit so seeing him appear on this track isn't really surprising. He also co-wrote KoRns song You'll Never Find Me from their 2019 album.

[@Faks.09]

Absolute killer song! Love that Jami is doing more clean vocals, he sounds fucking great. But I hope that doesn't mean that we'll be getting less of Reba's voice on these new songs, her singing was part of why Underneath was so insanely good.

[@pensyvemusic5867]

My first introduction to this band was when my son showed me swallowing the rabbit whole. I was born in the early eighties but was a 90s kid that listened to a lot of industrial like Throbbing Gristle, and a lot of nu-metal, so i thought it was a really bad ass song. I thought that Poppy girl was really unique and refreshing as well. They both have changed so drastically that it will be hard to maintain a steady fan base. Now i will say that because I was a 90s kid my grunge side actually likes this, it's just shocking when you first hear it with their earlier stuff in mind.

[@adnrelol]

you scared me off back then with swallow the rabbit whole, you got me back with this one lmao - the eerie vocals in there are a great touch
