LYRICS
Lay my tentacles
In the crucible
Just to see the world
As something beautiful again
Melt my sins
He’s losing pounds
Just lay him down
And pop it in its place
Take the scruff
And pull it up
He’ll die another day
Start over
I can’t bear to look back
Start over
I always run away
Sweet closure
Cure me of my candor
Shoo vultures
I’ll die another day
Lay my tentacles
In the crucible
Just to see my chores
As something meaningful again
From within
All out of breath
From my warpath
Sweating toxicity
Begging for amnesty
Make it a song
Always a song
Can only tell you the truth in the chant of a tone
I’ll never be enough unless I finish this sentence
Did it come into existence or was it invented
Only getting stuck because I already did it
Pigeon in my vision frigid in the kitchen
Blithering committed piebald cow
Scummy ballerina standing on your femur
Pop your sloppy doggy eyeballs outs
Started at the finish
Did it in a minute
Living to flip in the breeze
Had to do the did it
Rigid ribbit critic
Making a pino go grig
God why’d you have to do that me
Safe, sound on the other side
Back to devour what I’ve been denied
Bad track record to be kind but this time I’ll be paying attention
Can’t dwell on my damaged pride
I got moves to make, I got hearts to break through
Manic and erratic but emphatic about learning the hard way
Need to bite to the animal
To get my instincts churning
Shake up my camera roll
Been a minute
It’s been a minute
We don’t obey
It’s all a game
There’s no give and take, there’s no give and take, there’s no talk but kill the king
No talk, just kill the king
They won’t talk just kill the
I’m shaking the plastic off
Ripping the wrapper off
Students coming out clean
Devoted to master stroke
Licking the envelope
Sending my bright blue flame

I know that the joke is that's kind of the meme thing to say, but that part actually did speak to me. Not necessarily lyrically but the fact that Jon mess is still trying to push the boundaries of his screaming and what he can accomplish with it. Between this and synergy it seems like he's really trying to see what boundaries he can push in terms of the rhythmic contribution his screams can add

Dude, eidola meets secret band on this one. I can tell Andrew starts off on guitar because those tones are just so recognizable *inserts pacha meme* Lyrically, this one hits heavy. Especially with what’s going on in the band. It’s literally like tilian is writing about himself completely in the singles so far. And I definitely feel like this is another mirror album, like mothership, ArtificialSelection and afterburner, this one’s going to be heavy. Tim’s bass lines seal the tone of the song as well.

[@robertaragon9058]

@@frankhungtw so if you think about it, ALL of dgd’s music if for the listener to interpret for themselves, I’ve sat with the 4 I mentioned and it literally feels like I’m sitting in front of a mirror, being called out by the music and lyrics to every song, being held accountable in it all. And if you think about it too, eidola is a very spiritual band, and nothing to do in the religious sense but more of the practice itself. The way Andrew plays, is like sitting with “god”. Being exposed to truth in the sound of mathematical notes, tones and resonance. Tilian’s second verse kind of describes him only being able to tell the truth in the form of song and the last 4 albums, he’s written from personal experience/s. I also feel like this song is about his ego death.

This is the song I was looking for. Synergy was such an amazing first single. And while I love Pop Off and the music video, it has a similar structure to Synergy. This is the one that has me needing this album. This is the one that has me thinking this will dethrone Mothership as the goat for me. Tilian sounds incredible, raw and full of emotion. Jon spitting some of his best work here, what a sick breakdown. The highlight is of course that this has Andrew written all over it. The second verse guitar riff changing but still imitating the first verse. And the bridge/outro is so haunting and smooth, I wanted it to go on longer. This is DGD at their best. After everything that has been going on, I couldn't be more grateful this album is still coming out. For Tim

One of the musical motifs sounds like it was inspired by Counterfeit Shrines by Eidola. "Pigeon in my vision..." a callback to Demo Team from Acceptance Speech. Love the ear candy callbacks to the catalogue and the reintegration of material in a new context.

So beautiful, Easily top 3 favorites for me. Tilian, I hope you find healing from the impact of Tim's death. While I LOVE DGD, I followed you here from Tides of Man and if somehow you were not able to return, I believe this will be it for me. Your synergy with Jon is irreplaceable.

[@Tanwolly]

Yeah same. I’m done if he is. And I was listening to DGD long before Tides of Man. 13 years I’ve dedicated to these dudes, but I just can’t agree with the way they’ve handled this and didn’t back him at all.

[@FrankRiver2000]

@@Tanwolly why would they back him if he did something wrong lmfao

[@Tanwolly]

@@FrankRiver2000 Because there is no real validity to the statements at all. If he denies the events in the way she is telling them, which he has, then why wouldn’t they go a bit further to at least discover the validity? Ask her to take it to court? Come out of anonymity to them? These are completely anonymous online accusations. Tilian admitted to sleeping with her, and that is the ONLY aspect of it to be known as true. Her retelling of the events could be completely embellished. It doesn’t help that she lied to him from the very beginning about being a fan of the band. Tilian doesn’t want to date fans, but nobody wants to give him that credit. She was a massive fan of the band and lied to him from the start about it. That’s such a huge red flag that EVERYBODY is ignoring in favor of blindly destroying his life and career.

[@ion9460]

Great song, great band! Seriously top 5 in my bands list, right up there with Rise Against, Gojira, and BMTH. We had a good run with Tilian, despite the events that happened, he is a vital part of the success that is shared by all band members. He's a human who fucked up, but his contribution to the DGD discography is not to be put down or ignored. I believe everyone can be redeemed, including him. DGD had come this far, only time will tell how much farther it will go. Best underrated band of all time.

[@murmurva]

Keep in mind he's not out of the band, yet. Unpopular opinion, but I think with proper therapy and work, Tilian will stay in the band. Does it feel good saying that? No, of course not. But it doesn't change that he, far more than a certain previous example, has been accountable and willing to make changes in his life. If Johnny of all people was allowed to be in the band as long as he was, I feel like it's only fair to wait and see how Tilian does out of therapy. It can't erase the things done, and I'm not saying to forgive him, but the pure fact is he fucked up, he knows he did, and he has become a huge part of this band. He is substitutable, but I feel like much less replaceable, if that makes sense. It's a heartbreaking realization and doesn't taste good ever considering, but I have faith in him rising from that. Unlike some who would sooner become more and more detestable and horrible with time.

Lay my tentacles in the crucible Just to see the world As something beautiful again Meld my sin He's losing pounds, just lay him down and pop it in its place Take the scruff and pull it up, he'll die another day Start over, I can't bear to look back Start over, I always run away Sweet closure, cure me of my candor Shoo vultures, I'll day another day Lay my tentacles in the crucible Just to see my chores As something meaningful again From within All out of breath from my warpath Sweating toxicity, begging for amnesty Make it a song, always a song Can only tell you the truth in the chant of a tone I'll never be enough unless I finish this sentеnce Did it come into existence, or was it invented? Only getting stuck because I already did it Start over, I can't bear to look back Start over, I always run away Sweet closure, cure me of my candor Shoo vultures, I'll day another day Pigeon in my vision, frigid in the kitchen Blithering, committed, piebald cow Scummy ballerina standing on your femur Pop your sloppy doggy eyeballs out Started at the finish, did it in a minute Living to flip in the breeze Had to do then did it; rigid, ribbit critic Making a pino go grigs God, why'd you have to do that to me? Safe, sound on the other side Back to devour what I've been denied Bad track record to be kind, but this time I'll be paying attention Can't dwell on my damaged pride I got moves to make, I got hearts to break through Manic and erratic, but emphatic about learning the hard way Need to bite the animal To get my instincts churning Shake up my camera roll Been a minute, it's been a minute We don't obey It's all a game There's no give and take, there's no give and take There's no talk but kill the king No talk, just kill the king They won't talk, just kill the I'm shaking the plastic off, ripping the wrapper off Students coming out clean Devoted to master stroke, licking the envelope Sending my bright blue flame
