Crushed like a bug
Under
The weight of listlessness
Maybe I could have
Learned how to fly
But my wings never sprouted
People just go on and on
In circles
In circles
I wake to the sound
Of the hum
Of the earth just spinning around and
There’s not much for me to do
But count the days and
Look at photos of you
People just go on and on
In circles
In circles
I was a fool to have thought that I was worth
More than just a short life
And a lifetime under dirt
Dare to dream
That’s what you told me
There’s more to life than just
Your reluctant love
And your begrudging touch.
You’ve set like the sun
Maybe that’s enough.
But, if we lay here
Maybe we could stay here
Maybe we could die here.
Wouldn’t that be fine, dear?
I wake to the sound
Of the hum
Of the earth just spinning around and
There’s not much for me to do
But count the days and
Look at photos of you
People just go on and on
In circles
In circles
I live my life inside of this cocoon
Just life a flower to afraid to bloom
I live my life inside of this cocoon
And I’ll die here

I love how they used to upload songs in black and white format and now their videos are full colorized and looks like a freaking rainbow

[@CFLaughs]

I didn't mind the black and white of their old videos but I am extremely glad they moved on to color! It literally makes a huge difference and gives this album a more colorful feel to it. This band made me appreciate colors even more 🌈

[@scarredheart7610]

This is another one of those songs which you’ll listen to in a few years and you’ll know exactly who you were and the nostalgia will set in and take you back there.

[@nicknajduk6485]

Nailed it.

[@lilalieninspace]

This song reminds me of my school days… i was grade 12 at the moment, listen to this song alone at school and now i have moved to university :,)

[@dizzyy96]

already feel that way.

[@danphillips7570]

Spot on, Fizzy Blood are another great band that leave you with this whole nostalgic feeling when you go back and listen. Love it.

[@AlienGrain]

Yeah as I see it depends on the song but also on degree of criticality when you hear this track, and then this especial song become able to "absorb" such feeling in itself and you memorize it. Admirable feeling

[@SpectralOpposites]

The moment when Holding Absence become better than all the bands they looked up to

[@greyramsey3568]

idk about mcr 👀

[@SpectralOpposites]

@@greyramsey3568 growing up nothing meant more to me than MCR. But I would say that Holding Ab’s song have higher quality, deeper depth and a more serious tone than MCR. They are not as big but I strongly believe in these lads and they will get there ✌️

[@solid5502]

They already did better than their counterpart band, Parting Gift. May they rest in peace by the way. 💔

[@JK-zv2ex]

I heard this on octane driving into work at 4am. I started crying for no reason. Life gets hard but somehow this lifted my spirits. What an emotional masterpiece. Beautiful song. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@joepearl_]

The lyrics are beautiful damn

[@Maxi-rq1sc]

Why is he so good at conveying emotions? God dammit, my heart. 😭 Holding Absence is so unique 🥺

[@CFLaughs]

That's why I fell in love with their music 🎶

[@alexbaribeault]

Holy shit. I can't believe this record might just beat Architects at being the album of the year, especially considering Holding Absence's last one was also the best of the year. I can't stop being blown away by this band

[@milkbubble]

Have to agree with you!! This hits on a different level!!

[@georgthesecond]

Beating Architects last album isn't an achievement :D

[@TriggerFingerRC]

@@georgthesecond agreed! Architects' album shouldnt even be mentionned in the runnings for aoty.

[@minecraftsteve2504]

Really? Are you guys going to dismiss architects just because their recent album is softer? You guys are still stuck in 2018 with that childish mindset. Architects is still a great album even though the tone shifted a bit. Be a bit more open minded Just cuz its not hard doesn't make it terrible. While its no AOTY with alot of other banging albums set for this year, its still a great album. I wouldn't say HA would have an album worth AOTY, as it sounds the same as other boyband\core bands. The only song that feels different is Afterlife, but the rest of the songs sound like something that you'd listen to back in 2005. Not that its bad, but it feels generic

[@bitcoinbeast]

Sounds nothing like Architects, whatsoever

[@markpowell9042]

Most under rated uk band. Facts

[@ValRie84]

I listened to it first on Spotify and fell in love with it already. Then I came here for the visuals which are mesmerizing. This is a very emotional song and Lucas does it justice with all the feels he's showing in this video. I sat here with my mouth open the whole time. Can't believe how good this song is.

[@SkuLLyJai]

it's always a good day when HA releases a new song

[@YoshiroMatsuda]

I discovered them today and i can totally agree with you

[@jbasti227]

Absolutely. I’ve only heard the singles they’ve released on Sharptone but I really have to start diving into their material

[@fatcheesecake9983]

lmao hi skully

[@SeekingJoshua]

I absolutely love the camera tricks here. Plus the almost-slow-mo vibe on the choruses verses the regular speed for verses. Absolutely wicked.

[@nicoleviper4090]

This songs hit in many different ways, it’s so pretty, powerful and I just can’t stop replaying it, holding absence has never realised a bad song and this ones just another banger to add to my ever-growing playlist.♥️🥰

[@nathf4698]

Holding Absence has been one of the best finds of the year for me, all three singles have been amazing.

[@kevinupshaw3404]

Currently one of my favorite songs. Playing it on repeat on Spotify. First heard of them because of Crooked Melody. Amazing song. Thank you.

[@LilysPearlyEyes]

[@mylife1221]

"Maybe I could have Learned how to fly But my wings never sprouted" "I live my life inside of this cocoon Just like a flower too afraid to bloom I live my life inside of this cocoon And I’ll die here" both of these verses resonate with me on a level ive never felt before, you guys dont even have a clue

[@j333ssi]

[@hereafter_845]

It is like he has more version of himself in the parallel universe and shot this mv at the same time and location.

[@kolasis4994]

in an interview he said, it has to do with conveying this idea of depression. He'd go to the area when he was feeling really depressed, enough over time that he'd visited every hour of the day, and despite the changing of time, he still 'felt" the same. So the shots give the impression that time goes on and on yet he still feels the same. Freakin' brilliant!

[@hereafter_845]

[@adecakaship2486]

Wow.. I rarely shed a tear while listening to music, not sure if I ever even did before actually. This song is bigger than nature, keep up the amazing work guys!

[@jamescbrown8149]

What an amazing song. Cannot wait to be bawling my eyes out to this one when gigs are back.

[@pwtrdalton427]

I remember when I first found these guys just perusing my recommended feed about 4 years ago at 3 a.m. I first saw their video for "Permanent" and was totally blown away. Some 4+ years later and they are killing it more than ever and continue to get better. I can't wait to see them should they come over to the States.

[@Matt_Nor]

Walking in circles whilst listening to HA makes being alone by yourself not so bad (as strange as it sounds) Guess it is just another way of really connecting with yourself to a new level? Honestly i also believe it is incredibly rare to come across art like this especially when it is so loud, clear and full of emotions. It's hard to make music this good. Architects & HA's easily one of my faves Still can't thank HA enough for helping me through the break up i experienced at the end of last year. I guess there is a light after all, at the end of the tunnel (On a last note) *THIS* is why music is important.

[@Monochrome_Past]

You’re right .being alone by myself is less hard with holding absence ... If I wouldn’t had this band I would be already dead

[@Monochrome_Past]

Their music keeps me alive in those harsh times . I also had a breakup last year and I can feel you dude ..

[@joshcurtis7524]

[@CeyhunGurbanMusic]

I swear that this band is just Masterpiece

[@monkesaymonkedo7932]

I remember finding you guys 2-3 years ago - around the times it was just singles like Penance, Dream of Me, Permanent, Heaven Knows... Everywhere I went, those songs, his voice, the lyrics, they resonated something deep in me. I searched to understand the meaning of life through HA’s music. I would listen to them on a daily with my feelings of joy and sadness aligning together to feel something more. I realised this was more than music. It was poetry and philosophy. After the release of their first self-titled album, I couldn’t just pick a favourite song. Every one of them had a message to be strong in many scenarios with love, loss, tragedy and hope. The emotions carried me to a new level of consciousness. Going through hardships, their music just had me feel ‘safe’ when I was recovering from depression and anxiety. It’s beautiful to see them grow more towards an enlightening path. Now I feel like it’s brings more courage and mindfulness after the lessons learnt from their past material to grow. Thank you HA for making music that’s inspiring on many levels. I’ll always be a listener. In the good and the bad, your music helped me throughout these modern times.
