Coheed And Cambria - Time Consumer

"Time Consumer" is from the album "The Second Stage Turbine Blade," available now. Get the album here: bit.ly/cohered-...
Lyrics:
The young stale memories of, play the role to your part
Librarian, find me the pole, the one that kicks your head in
To my own time, roll your own innocence by
Grab on to my sleeve, the one that grabs at your ankle
Debate to understand that we all have a flaw
Then fail to represent your life as you know it
God grant you one wish, to turn back the time
Correct and create, making sense of...
Me and my star, Matthew, goodnight
You know by law, when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew, goodnight
You know my Lord, when you'll be forgiven
So they pulled your confidence down
With those verbal discrepancies
Now and then, you'll gain what they've lost
Through a challenge of unpronounced
Pain is only a pulse
If you just stop feeling it
You might be able to use
The very thing that makes us up
Me and my star, Matthew, goodnight
You know by law, when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew, goodnight
You know my Lord
Wait now, here, when will you believe me?
I'm merely asking you to help me, when did I say to murder?
Wait now, here, please hear me out
Time consumer, time consuming, consume me
Down and out, now
Me and my star, Matthew, goodnight
You know by law, when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew, goodnight
You know my Lord, when you'll be forgiven
You know, goodnight
And I'll promise you that
You know, goodnight
And I'll promise you that

I was 15 when I discovered Coheed and they completely shaped me as a human….Im 34 now dudes…Where did the time go?!! It feels like just last year.

[@chrisdavis9019]

Same 😍

[@chrisdavis9019]

I was 15 and im 34 now 🫡

[@csteegs8681]

I HAAATED Coheed when I was in high school and college because I was a metal elitist and thought it was emo but now at 37 and more accepting, Coheed is really exceptional, great to blast at the pool, solid summer music for me

[@Rascuache86]

I feel you. Thrice did the same to me in the early 2000's. But Coheed will always have a special place in my heart. Music is timeless.

[@MikeStoneJapan]

Same same. Was 17 about when found them. 38 next month

[@joshlazard364]

I had heard favor house Atlantic, and went out to buy in keeping secrets, but the hot topic only had second stage, and I bought it on a whim and I drove a 95 jeep Grand Cherokee when I was 17-18, and that album stayed in that cd player for a few years, it was literally the only cd I kept in that vehicle. Such nostalgia, remembering learning how to drive, with the boys, we all enrolled at the same driving school and took turns learning how to drive and we all carpooled to highschool. Man, those were the days.

I woke up with this song stuck in my head, I hadn't listened to it in 15 years, I decided to play it at 9am and now I'm crying, listening to it for the 5th or 6th time in a row. I miss growing up.

Even at this early stage, Claud was a far superior composer and storyteller than his contemporaries, there's not even a comparison, this song bleeds pure emotion from every note.

I was 12 or 13? My dad died of a heroin overdose - my mom had moved us into my grandma's house and I was sleeping on the couch, failing at school. I didn't give a fuck about anything except my cd player and my skateboard. I don't even know why I got the album, my god. Grabbed it from the store I think along with the system of a down album, both had just come out I feel. How the hell did I know to get that album? Time consumer, delirium trigger, everything evil changed my young life. And I was already aware of a broad range of music too. Had never heard anything like this before, shook me to my core. Emotion pouring off. Good god it's been over twenty years.

Man, I miss old Coheed. Got into these guys summer of 2004, got to see them at Warped Tour that year. They were so little known, they played one of the second stages (haha fitting) at like 11:30 AM. Nowhere near top billing. I loved poppy punky eclectic and unique Coheed. Shit that just made you want to dance. The oohs and ahhs. Now its more like Progheed and Cambria. I'm just not into that.

I’m 30 years old, NOW... I will never forget the metaphorical branding that ‘Welcome Home’ bestowed upon my soul! But, shame on me , because I never delved deeper than Apollo:4! Longwinded point being is that I recently read this albums corresponding Amory Wars Deluxe(complete) and as I’m sure almost all here are well aware. So, now I have the privilege AND pleasure of being able to start from phase one and listen/watch with this beautiful, broad, mythological vision that has be n bestowed upon us from Claudio The Splendiferous. Seriously... sometimes music finds YOU at the right time and I feel like that is the care with my experience. I’m ready for so much more💿

[@communistdaughter2861]

I agree w/ CJ, there will never be another Coheed. However, if you want more music like this album in specific, i’d suggest looking into post-hardcore and emotional-hardcore as genres. As CJ said At the Drive In and Thursday are good places to start. I’d really recommend Circa Survive, there seems to be a lot of overlap between their fans and coheed fans. The Mars Volta, Glassjaw etc. Don’t sound exactly like Coheed obv, but same genre. You can find tons of post hardcore playlists online.
