PERIPHERY - Ow My Feelings

Lyrics:
Lost the way
Feel the world below me
Painlessly ascend
Torn away dissolving the life I know
Grasp the light
Feel the glow enfolding
Exaltation
Isolate the answers are truths from lies
Loss of faith
The path unravels before me
Unholy day
I'm letting go
Through time these cries distort the view
Hopeless misdirection
We all defy the chance to know
This world is not the one I knew
Holding tight to our beliefs
Awake to what we have become.
Void the past, create the new
Separate the few because I hold ability to lead
Astray
Now living through every day on the path between
The frozen lines
Now no one ever will know about this experience
Will someone for once step back
And gaze upon the world through my eyes
Drawn behind the point of view
Seal us from the truth
On our own the fear of life decays
Time alone reveals our fatal aspect of arrogance
In life we're not the only ones
Free from the walls I'm alive
Lost the way
The path unravels before me
Unholy day I'm letting go

I can't believe how old this is. I was already 30ish when it came out and it inspired me to try to get good at guitar again

[@aebious8886]

I was 9 when it came out

18 for me

[@tito1rocks]

The intro is so heavy it hurt my feelings

[@mohumphrey104]

So much yes.

[@AdamMcCann1178]

KauBïf listening to it now, it reminds me a bit of "The Bad Thing" with the way it opens

[@twinny_mi]

@@AdamMcCann1178 Oh definitely the lyrics and the way the guitar sounds it sounds like they go along with the Juggernaut theme. A handful of their songs that were released before Juggernaut can be similar to the re-occuring theme, like Ragnarok, Masamune, and Muramasa I think can fit in there too

[@tito1rocks]

After 5 years I came back to say I finally stopped sobbing

[@SethEarby]

I love how bands like this have the weirdest song titles ever and can be the most epic thing ever at the same time.

[@davidandre3719]

"Bands like this"

[@Jethrospect]

Been listening to this song for 8 years and that melody @ 3:52 still gets me. Never regretted having their 3 dots logo tattooed.

[@looksirdroids9134]

You will once they change their logo

[@aaronpanesar]

3 is the magic number. And I'm glad someone else recognises that 1 specific moment in the entire discography! And excellent tattoo idea 💡

[@DarthRoy1292]

does this work as a breakup song? i feel the feel

[@dropkickproductiontx]

4:28 JESUS CHRIST SPENCER. Chills, every single time.

[@MirkoFustinoni]

"Ow, my feelings!" xD

3:54 will forever be my favorite prog moment in any song

[@Genociv]

Still my favourite Periphery guitar tone. So wirey, aggressive and in your face. Fuckin love it.

[@eemmppeerroorr]

Oh god, the intro to this song might be the most powerful riff I have ever heard.

[@ThiagoAlmeidaAvelino]

One of my favorites from PI!

3:46-3:52 I don't know what it is about this one section, but it is my favorite moment of this song. Might be the chord progression, but it's absolutely beautiful.

[@badfish9383]

It is very confusingly melodic. It's almost a drunken feel, yet so mysterious and elagent.

[@parametrosbandbyelias9194]

Big feeling part!! The voice, cleans, and sound create a great ambience!!

[@Chemical_x-z5t]

I thought I was the only one! That’s what makes the song!!! Climax

[@dominik4666]

Ow, my feelings, this song makes me wanna cry. It's Sooo good. Spencer's voice is like a broken angel or something. Periphery is the shit!

[@GLORTHAAK]

I think this recording is Chris baretto? I could be wrong

[@forextroll]

​@@GLORTHAAK Chris was the original vocalist but they definitely only used Spencer's vocals in the self titled debut album on Sumerian Records.

[@user-vf1rj9dd4k]

Yes they rerecorded all the tracks

[@xchrono8811]

2:49 that rift throughout is so good

[@DeeEfSea]

The intro fucking cuts deeep. I feel the emotions in my bones.

[@jasontaylor284]

When I first heard Meshuggah back in the '90s, I had no idea how much their music would influence the future of metal! Periphery took that next step and made djent "brutiful"! Spencer took a minute to get used to, but he has an amazing vocal range.

[@EmbarrassedComposer]

I wasn't a fan of his voice at first either, but it grew on me

[@forextroll]

@@EmbarrassedComposer His voice fits certain songs really well but I otherwise struggle with his vocals on more than a handfull of tracks each album.

[@gabrielherrera3059]

The backbeat in the intro is so heavy it hurts

[@sacredxgeometry]

Happy 10 years to this album, like, holy shittttt man. I can't believe it's been this long.

[@Sunchaserofficial]

The entire section at 3:28 is so perfect. Love the progression.

[@zxzxzxzPDOGZzxzxzxz]

Will someone for once step back and gaze upon this world through my eyes.... THEM FEELS

[@Bloodline2009]

Remember listening to the main riff on Misha's Soundcloud account 'Bulb' back in the day.. So cool.

[@tomc.6358]

The groove is real with this one

[@mrhandyhandssr7839]

8 years later and that drum fill at 3:06 still bangs just as hard

[@looksirdroids9134]

Of course. I mean, it isn't going to change is it?

@@looksirdroids9134 people’s taste generally does change over the years. Nice try though being a smartass!

This song makes me feel stuff...

[@emiliobaez7075]

My god....this album is the definition of diverse. In my version I guess. I really think if you like this genre you will like one of these songs. This album is like 70 platinum coins worth. Lol jk it's priceless

[@RoadToEminence]

I feel like this is a direct sequel to Jetpacks Was Yes!

[@nickfitzpatrick3642]

this song and all new materials are by far my favorite tracks off this albumb

Why was the instrumental removed from iTunes???

[@oriondrums2]

I don't know, I just love sumerian because they post all of their songs. I really only like Periphery. Deathcore is not very appealing to me. But hey periphery is a good reason to love sumerian.

[@RzSnR]

3:26 One of the best Periphery moments

[@drstoned1338]

This is badass asf

[@trevwagner666]

they were refing to the band name in the picture on the video...

[@KingLightDividing]

I remember when these guys first came out with this album and I posted its link on the Thrice message boards and said something like "omg I can't believe people are making music I've always dreamed of" and then multiple dorks started to reply and tell me that I should never make music. That's when I understood that Thrice fans are disabled and also when I stopped caring about Thrice. Good riddance.

[@carcrashlullaby]

This song is the shit! keep on djenting, Periphery! \m/

[@GuItArKiKsAsS]

I wish they would play this live.

[@otaru783]

such a banger

[@TheMassaCreature]

Periphery, Stray From The Path, Born of Osiris, After The Burial, and The Faceless. Fucking love Sumerian.

[@curiousfiend1169]

😂Then they give us metal poppy

[@ratwithrifle143]

I was 6 when this album came out

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

The production on this album is fantastic. I think people don't think it is because Spencer's singing isn't as good as on P2 and beyond.

[@ComfyNumb1989]

I'd sooner say they occur around the same time. This song is about how the entity developed his existential beliefs about life, and "Jetpacks Was Yes!" is about how he lives his endless life with those beliefs. However, the lyrics for both songs were written by two different people, so perhaps this is just a coincidence.

[@lyndseypaget2287]

Should call this ow my fingertips. Lots of chugging in some drop tuning. xx

Nope. I asked Misha if they ever would, and he said that with the line up they have now, they could pull it off.

[@Christian06230]

born of Osiris is progressive and the faceless is sort of

[@sacredxgeometry]

no.

[@trey315fowler]

Probably am late on this, but I'm guessing this track's title is a knock-off of Vildhjarta's song All These Feelings? Would love for this to be correct!

[@sacredxgeometry]

Trey Fowler nope, this song was written in 2008 or 2009, which is 2 years before Masstaden was released.

Nintendo needs to put the chorus riff in a Mario game.

[@hexgrimoireetc9829]

[@oriondrums2]

I would say vice versa. I love the Faceless. Born of Osiris is kind of, I would really just call them Deathcore/Djent.
