PERIPHERY - Buttersnips

Lyrics:
Repose
Flesh of the ground deny
Kneel and grieve
Beseeching to no avail
Myth strikes our being
Human existence
Jaded by it's progress
Feeding, a manifest of the shadow below
Redefine the absolute
Crashing down
Through their eyes
One can see
Fear sustained
Weakened by their minds
Caught in disbelief
Don't deny
All shall see
Vacant souls
Shaping commonality
In this moment we cannot deny what we are
Form a memory on turning wings
And carve a way to ascension
Pray, withdrawn you just weep
Alone
Wait for a chance to grow
Culture folds
The falling of love
The darkness above
Repose within our numbers
Walking with a taste
Transposed image of being
Lost beyond the frame, end of days
This time all memories surpass
Embrace
In time all sense of life decays
Descend
Again
All shall return to the sand through forever
We cycle again
Re-ignite
Savior ablaze
Never ending
Return to me

Spencer's melodies on this record are out of this world. He makes some really strange choices when it comes to harmonies, both against his own voice and the rest of the band. And his melodies are all over the place. I love it.

[@Nestorglass]

his melodies have always been special, songs that used to be just instrumentals like scarlet or sentient glow just ascended with spencer's vocals.

[@yokisullivan8647]

"strange"? just say he can't write catchy vocal melodies except It's Only Smiles.

[@MrJakeShirley]

Guys for real, Misha was the first to use the term "Djent" and everybody hates it. Honestly if Misha wants I call what he plays Djent, that's fine. Most people dislike it because it is PROGRESSIVE. And everybody hates the new kid, especially if they are a threat. This is musicality in its best, and I thank Periphery for making real music by musicians who actually care about the stuff they play.

[@Zool2107]

@@MrJakeShirley only part you were wrong is this: "This is musicality in its best". Forced dissonance all the time for the only sake of being differnet and artsy, and pushing all the guitar technics one learnt into every song form start to finsih without break is not that I would call musicality in it's best. Sometimes (most of the times) less is more.

[@MrJakeShirley]

@@Zool2107 I made this comment 8 years ago, and I stand by it in a lot of ways. I believe Misha is probably the least technical player in his band, and least technical out of his peers. He is often viewed as a song writer, a composer. His musicality is dissonant and they’ve gone on to rule an entire genre of music for over a decade now. Less can be more and I think misha conveys that by not being all technicality all the time

[@luisvenero]

the drums.... too beast

[@combatwombatt]

I never got why people say “Oh Djent isn’t a genre, it’s just an onomatopoeia” but they are ok with Hair and Glam Metal being a thing, which has nothing to do with the music, and only the way the musicians dress.

[@ganondorfchampin]

Why do so many Periphery songs have comical names?

because the group formed thanks to the internet and being dumb and witty at the same time is what the internet people do

[@kevinpopescu9741]

ganondorfchampin Misha probably thought it was very clever when he came up with it.

[@BenjaminKuruga]

Misha literally named the songs by the first thing he was thinking of when he wrote the riff/song. The lyrics on many of these songs have nothing to do with the title because Spencer wrote them.
