I returned to this song because just last Halloween I lost my mother to a long life of addiction battles and other things, I wish I could say it's gotten easy, but its very tricky to me rn. I've grown to be a musician myself, a percussionist and guitarist and she raised me on old school metal, Metallica, Pantera, mötley cru and so forth, and eventually when I grew up I showed her my stuff, wage war, periphery, for the likes of you and fit for a king and blah blah blah. Its hard to dk anything when anything reminds me of her, and its just been a constant mental struggle, I myself have struggled with suicidal thoughts and tendencies in the past but this song helps. I can't explain it but its like her message to me, her instructions to me in a way she'd know I'd listen. Telling me to carry on and smile through and come out on top in the end. It has been a very difficult journey and I want anyone reading this who feels down or has experienced similar situations, youre not alone, suffer with me and we all can smile on through this❤

Only periphery could have baphomet as an album cover, have this amazingly upbeat and inspirational song on it, and it not even be outta place 😂🔥❤️

[@SaladDressing69]

So, not many realize this, the Baphomet is technically a symbol of universal harmonics; balance of masculine and feminine within a balance of lightness and darkness coming out of occult traditions and symbolism. The harmony on this album between a creational harmony and a purposeful dissonance (destructive) tone and chugg section in order to better accommodate the gamut of experience and the collectivity of wholeness, overall. This can go as deep as you like ;)

[@subsume7904]

Spencer said in an interview the baphomet and misspelling of satan was intentional. The reason is because of how serious satanists take their religion and actually how ridiculous it all is, the theme is "Don't take things too seriously" and its an amazing message.

[@subsume7904]

It's the reason why this album came out the way it did, they took their time and just did what they did best and didn't strive to be too serious on it.

I shed a tear listening to this for the first time as recently I'm dealing with my dad's passing. We have some misunderstandings and now I can't even make amends. Sigh... Now I'm stuck on repeat with this song. That "I will be missing you..." part hits very hard. Thank you Periphery! (As always)

[@PorkchopSandviches]

Hey man I'm sorry, hope you can manage to feel better soon. Lemme know if you need someone to talk to :)

[@resist1581]

I feel like this is one of the songs that i'll grow to like with more listening. This is definitely a personal song. Something good to hear alone at night or on the drive home.

[@CaptnShred]

Solo is Jake, right? The phrasing is unreal and the tone is so smooth

[@jeepersreapers353]

At first between this and The Way the News Goes…, I wasn’t sure which was my fave Periphery song. Now it’s defo this.

[@cristiansacogia9800]

I'm not a guitarist but listening to this great riff makes you want to run out and buy one and learn how to play The guitars in this song is the strong point along with its lyrics, which makes it more beautiful and emotional.

[@addictivetackleco]

This song makes me express my depression and not hide it. I thank periphery for being there for me

[@Krabby_Patty]

This is like if Owl City/Fireflies suddenly went djent. I love it.

[@Sentienthermostat]

Now this is how you give a metal song mainstream appeal the right way!

[@poohandler8646]

I've probably felt this song the most so far

[@kerbalscuffedprogram4705]

this song gives off metalcore vibes because the chorus, same with progressive metal vibes with the complex chords, the complex riffs, the song length, and the guitar cleans.

[@ThistleBlue]

This album is just perfect song after perfect song. Classic Periphery!

[@justinisdabomb1234]

Had to put my little pup of 17 years down and as much as this songs hits me in the feels, it brings back beautiful memories❤️

[@ethana4598]

Is it just me or should they make at least a short EP with like 5 or 6 songs that sound like this? That would be awesome 🤟

[@erickmazur807]

My money is already spent on that!

[@nano7586]

While I think thats great I think its also important to create contrast. Songs and albums have their highs and lows and that's what makes them so addictive and special.

[@ethana4598]

@@nano7586 fair point

[@yokisullivan8647]

@@nano7586 yup, previous album has Lune, P4 album has this song. I hope there will be another emotional sad song in the next album (P5).

[@nano7586]

@@yokisullivan8647 Yeahhh, lune and it's only smiles (maybe satellites too) are the absolute climaxes. So excited about the new album too.

[@microsoup]

The riffs in this song have Mark’s fingerprints all over!! Haaha love it!!! Amazing song!!

[@reptarsass7248]

That part at 3:48 made my shoulder blades tighten. Head in full bob mode. Sheesh Periphery.

[@annamcd3379]

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEE. Thank you guys for this!!! I love yall so much!

[@louie9373]

Thank you guys for making this album accessible to me despite the amazing quality of the work. I am experiencing financial hardship and simply can't afford much right now and music is the only thing putting a smile on my face.

[@jeremyluke8022]

What a happy metal song very talented guys always impressive

[@FracturedRealms]

Jeremy Luke yo for real you think this song is happy? I ask this with all due respect but did you even listen to it? It’s about missing someone and smiling your way through it. It made me cry because I miss my girlfriend as I’m on tour. Legit curious as to how people can have such different reactions to music

[@kalebdellinger5102]

Same. This song gets me teared up, I was really close to my grandpa and when he died, it ripped a hole in my life.

[@arkaith]

I cried. :/ Where is the happy?

[@blackenedizzycore]

Did YOU people even listen to the song? They're singing about continuing on and smiling through your hardships, it is a happy song about staying strong and keeping fighting on.

[@arkaith]

Fandom Trash Kappa smiling through something does not mean you are happy, and does not even imply it. In fact you only need to smile through something because it’s hard on you.

[@Yervy]

this song is super warm, i love it and the solo and programming are fantastic

[@MyoticTesseract]

So far I've been coming back to this song the most. Probably has to do with how unabashedly emotional and bittersweet it sounds. Plus that melody is fucking _infectious._ This is probably one of my favorite recent songs ever.

[@AndreAkbar]

I love this song so much!!! play it almost evryday

[@demicorpz8844]

We love you from PHILIPPINES

[@chrismiller3898]

This song is so powerful, but that part at 3:49 PUNCHES through my soul every single time...

[@phantomtearsca]

Just saw Periphery play this live. I sang every word to it, plus they dedicated it to Kobe. Probably my favorite on the album.

[@billfraner7101]

Oof, I needed a good cry and this was the song to do it. I am not an overtly emotional person but this song is genuinely beautiful and I’m just so happy with how much Periphery has progressed sonically. They could play any genre (plus some djent) and do it justice.

[@ooze4261]

I pretty much never cry to a song when I first hear it, I was tearing up throughout but I was not expecting for that ending. The double kick with the synths just made me bawl my eyes out, so emotional

[@xborg3236]

lots of people say that Spencer's voice sucks but i just can't imagine a Periphery without him.

[@DaRoachDoggJrr]

Aaron KD who says that?

[@gravematter824]

Periphery song transitions are absolutely amazing and a huge part of what makes them

[@cameronpoupard9966]

This is incredible, hits me right in the heart. Thanks for creating this

[@uj5436]

This is the 3rd time Mark and Misha have used this riff across the bands and it’s still doesn’t get old

[@Mist_R]

this album is so good, I can't do my homework and essays.

[@jcarman]

I literally had planned on taking Friday off on release day, thanks to the weekend early release, no time off needed!

[@anoceanbetweenus89]

Just in the last year and a half I’ve lost my father, mother (one month ago), aunt (just 6 days ago), one my best friends, a cousin, and one of my wife’s aunts. There’s something about this song that just speaks to us who live everyday with such painful grief. Until you’ve lost a member of your immediate family, it cannot be understood.

[@ventor11225]

Am I the only that thinks P4 is Spencer’s best vocal performance by far? Dude is so talented.
