Desolate - c.y.b.o.1.h.

bandcamp (best quality): desolate607.ba...
spotify: open.spotify.c...
patreon: / desolate33
produced, mixed, mastered by Josh Schroeder
video by Steven Ekstrom and me
lyrics:
“All that is gold
does not glitter”
all we love
cannot live forever
welcome to the real world
where all things good must die
so tell me why (so tell me why)
20 some years gone
in the blink of an eye
you left me where I stood
with the quietest ‘goodnight’
so tell me why
do you ever take the time to
look up at the sky?
is this how it ends?
with one chance to repent
a fatal paradigm
can we stay the night?
and pretend it’s all fine
welcome to the real world
where nothing will align
so tell me why (so tell me why)
can’t we leave things
where they fucking lie?
you left me where I stood
and you watched me burn alive
so tell me why
do you ever take the time to
look up at the sky?
so tell me why
our contradictions collapse
in the act
as our lives cycle back
to decay and relapse
is this how it ends?
is it all what you’d expect?
trapped in shades of black and white
can we stay the night?
and pretend it’s all fine
(oh god, take me back)
take me back to those days long past
take me back to what we had
count your blessings on one hand
and even though I’m terrified
can we stay the night?
and pretend it’s all fine
as you drift in and out of sight
“All that is gold
does not glitter”
and nothing good
lasts forever
if I live
with an empty chest
you can take what you need
and leave out the rest
because you once said it best
“truth is often said in jest”
I’m still just living by habit (living by habit)
wasting my time
to wax nostalgic
I’ve fucking had it
because you once
said it best
life is
so
much
worse
now
that
you’re gone
fuck.

Love it when you guys go serious. Every song is an emotional banger.

[@drakenn342]

Man, this song hits deep. I lost two loved ones in close succession a few years back, and discovered y’all’s music in between. Your songs have helped me through the worst years of my life, helped me process my grief and eject my negative emotions. And then there’s this song… Fuck, man. So many great lines that put how I’ve fealt into words, this song FEELS how I have. I don’t know how to describe it. I couldn’t tell you the amount of times I’ve scream-cried this song on the way home, or how many times I’ve blared y’all’s music in general. Y’all always strike gold, but this one just hits me in a way the others don’t. “All that’s gold, does not glitter. And all we love, doesn’t live forever.”

[@DESOLATENY]

thank you for the kind words, and im genuinely glad the music has helped dude. life is unrelentingly rough and music really do be the thing that helps get us through it. as my dad would say, just gotta keep truckin' and keep your chin up. it's all we can do. much love from the whole gang.

[@villagewolf999]

Love that touch of pulmonary archery. Banger track

[@Infurno924]

That genuinely shot the illest chill down my spine. Fucking love Alexisonfire, man.

That intro giving me the feels fr just like how punpun felt when it ended

[@Smellinglikefish214]

Y'all never fail to make me tear up idk how you do it

[@DESOLATENY]

every song is injected with chopped onions

[@MrDougfunny7]

Kinda fucking same

[@PhilosophiaOfficial]

This might just be one of the greatest songs I've listened too in recent memory, you always keep elevating yourselves to newer heights with your material. Thank you so much.

[@Crash787b]

That part from 4:12 to the end is everything! amazing track.

[@darkart1023]

Desolate never disappoints 🖤

[@HeavyReign12]

The outro for this is top notch fellas. Melancholy but hopeful has got to be the best vibe, but it is rarely pulled off so well. Sick little solo there at the end too!

[@Loces21]

Had a jumpscare from the pulmonary archery riff at the beginning lmao sick song guys

[@GlubboMode]

Pulmonary Archery! 😱😱

[@DESOLATENY]

finally someone acknowledged it

[@LSV1994]

The CEO of Nu Metal send me here. I have this song stuck in my head since monday. You sound great, guys!

[@DESOLATENY]

who tf is the ceo of nu metal, and why isn't it Fred Durst

[@JJackson.13]

Wow, huge respect for this tune. I love the Alexisonfire influence. Pulmonary is the shit!

[@gooseman6112]

really well written, definitely the best song i've heard from you guys so far, 9/10

[@gooseman6112]

note: i haven't heard their whole catalogue, pls don't kill me >.

[@avalon4408]

how is it possible that every song is just such a banger?

[@kangaroocaliphate1577]

This hits waaay to hard impossible not cry

[@nate8133]

This is too good

[@bluejokelpie1044]

It's always so incredible to me to hear other musicians that audibly have the same influences and grew up with the same music as me but are interpreting it differently. I treasure it so much because it feels like we're all part of a wave. It's the same when I listen to Prompts. Those guys are the most interesting and original what the japanese Metal scene has to offer at the moment. You are the same for the american metal scene to me. I love all kinds of bands no matter if big or small. But I gladly drop every release of a band as big as Slipknot when Desolate puts out a new track. I just loved this.

[@vavo6909]

Checked out this song as it was recommended to me on Spotify (& it had Punpun art) & i instantly fell in love with it. Went & listened to every single song afterwards & became a big fan ♥️🔥

[@Infurno924]

The nostalgia from this song hit me like a semi truck, actually made me cry, no shame. I fucking love the post-hardcore stuff you guys are doing. This sound speaks to me on many levels.

[@Isho_956]

" life is so much worse now that you're gone " 💔 4:01

Always down for some Desolate 🎉❤

[@DannyChubird]

I didn't think you guys would be able to make a song more cathartic than Rebirth, but I've never been happier to be wrong. Thanks for everything you do.

[@Unfortunately_alive]

I saw you guys a few years ago open at iMatter, got in late and only caught the last song, wasn't super into your style at the time but I loved the hand drawn EVA snare heads at your booth (tip box art was also great) so I grabbed Oyasumi pt1 and that has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made, y'all are incredible and I cannot wait for this full release, much love

[@levbuava]

got chills.

[@Reisen-Sagiri]

C'est tellement dans mon style visuel. Je pense que sa serait une de mes influences

[@Shvvenny]

Another Masterpiece, Fuckin' A ya'll got me by the heartstrings with every release. Please don't stop. EVAR!

[@zosimustarkas_vt]

I love the meaning in the lyrics. Am I correct in that it's largely aimed at people who have nostalgia for old 90s and 2000s era anime? They're foolish in wanting back something that's passed, but also that foolishness is sorrowfully understandable.

[@DESOLATENY]

the theme is nostalgia, yes. Visually there's loads of references across the board. a lot of it being stuff we grew up watching. lyrically it's a personal and specific story but I tried to keep it vague enough to be generally understood that the theme is nostalgia and the longing pain it invokes. hope this helps.

[@ArcDefroi]

I really like this one. The artwork version of Spotify is also fantastic. What an awesome vibe... :)
