Hail The Sun - The Story Writes Itself

"The Story Writes Itself" is from Hail The Sun's album, 'Divine Inner Tension,' available now. Get the album here: hts.lnk.to/divine
Lyrics:
The universe finds me - Telling me where I need to go.
Have you ever had someone you trust betray all of it for their self-righteous reasons? And have you had your murders be told by somebody else?
The colors show themselves.
Watch out we have a contender.
Watch how they think they know. But they really don't.
They do as they’re told.
Watch me as I go...
On the way to the world I’ve created I can choose who is faded and stays.
I’ll leave resentment behind.
Only trust your inner circle.
These core lessons take time.
And even if my lovers leave me for somebody else, The story writes itself.
Have you ever had to tell of your murders?
Watch out we have a contender. Watch how they think they know. But I really do.
And if I wanted you,
I can have that, too.
On the way to the world I’ve created I can choose who is faded and stays. By the way I got love for your passions even when it's clout chasing instead.
If you crawl back you can come back.
But watch what you say around me.
I got love (If you crawl back) where it counts (you can come back). I hope that we all can agree
At what cost?
What’s the cost?
(Dear God - help me practice patience) What's the concept of fate?
(Letting go will gift salvation)
All the risks that we take
(Tell me what it takes to be a martyr of massacre) Only add to the stakes.
In the world I have created I'm loved and I'm hated. It keeps it exciting.
By the way, I got love for your passions even when it’s clout chasing instead. By the way, be afraid, ‘cause I’ll only stay silent when dead.
What’s the cost? What’s the debt? What’s the cost?
The piecing together of everything. What’s the cost?

This song is criminally underrated. The whole album, honestly...

[@xDevilNeverCry]

Whole album is an absolute banger

[@arealhuman2409]

Idk why but 2:40 is one of my fav parts of the entire album

[@Davis38]

I also think that's one of the best parts about this album

[@KombatTaco]

i was blown away by it on my first listen lmao

[@C.M.M.23]

Had to go listen. Damn, you're right. Those haunting chant vocals are something very new and fresh for HTS. Kind of reminds me of some of the more dark songs by Coheed and Cambria. These guys have so many tricks up their sleeves. 🤘

[@MrBlazingninja]

Man I wish I could play bass in a band like this with all my heart.

[@treeskillingtrees.]

you can

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

I believe in you

[@agdrummer2610]

Do you play bass?

[@MrBlazingninja]

@@agdrummer2610 Yes I do. I've been a couple bands been years though.

[@Scarce2099]

Best track of the album IMO

[@Corvy952]

Honestly gives me pierce the veil selfish machines vibes. Love it

[@BrucifyMe]

3:14 absolutely dazzling chord progression. This and leading in to the final chorus feels like I'm falling.

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

Yep, love the way "BY THE WAY" comes back in there

[@PaganUchiha]

Holy shit this is my new favorite song.

[@C.M.M.23]

0:39 Anyone else feel like this part sounds almost like NOTHING else Hail The Sun has done thus far? 🤔 This is one of the best moments on the album. On a lot of their albums. The more I listen to the album, the more I focus on the parts where they experimented, and wrote things that sound completely different than their other work. Maybe that's why this album is proving to be one of the biggest 'grower' albums for me.

Bro

[@OzTheActivist]

Stop listening to the words bro just listen to the guitar. That goes for all the songs it’s like a new experience like if you selectively listen for the guitar. My favorite to do this with is parasitic cleanse. It probably has on of the best guitar riffs ever

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

​@@OzTheActivistMy favorite guitar riff is from Refrain Boy - All Off, midway through the song

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

BY THE WAYYYYY

[@C.M.M.23]

3:13 Commenting again because these are some of the absolute best lyrics Hail The Sun has ever written, by far! *"In the world I have created... I'm loved and I'm hated... It keeps it exciting..."* These lyrics r e s o n a t e d within me 😤
