REMAIN INDOORS // LYRICS
Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you slip out of it
Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you become the mess
Fall back on the cloud, man when there’s nothing new left to do
and there’s not a single thought in the cross-hairs of your mind
Stop shouting from a mountain
Maybe sing a tune from within you
We’ve gotta move to the meadows from the mire
This is a view from outer tunnel-vision
I’m holding position
This is a view from outer tunnel-vision
Now let go of your senses and let go of your time
We already know the message is gold
Can’t we lighten the stride?
No reflection shows the dark on our side
We already know the message is gold
Can’t we lighten the stride?
Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you slip out of it
Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you become the mess
Now let go of your senses and let go of your time
We already know the message is gold
Can’t we lighten the stride?
No reflection shows the dark on our side
We already know the fucking message is gold
So let’s lighten the stride
You can follow with me
Or keep walking against me
It doesn’t fucking matter, because I tried
You can follow with me
Or keep walking against me
It doesn’t make a goddamn difference
Now let go of your senses and let go of your time
We already know the message is gold
Can’t we lighten the stride?
No reflection shows the dark on our side
We already know the message is gold
Can’t we lighten the stride?
This is a view from outer tunnel-vision
I’m holding position
This is a view from outer tunnel-vision

Let us know what you think! New album is out this Friday.

[@owenmonno883]

my body is ready

[@andrewmilbankdrums]

Give it to me

[@TingJeremy]

I LOVE THEM ALL

[@ianunderhill9458]

It's sound so good, def one of my new favorites.

[@punknarwhales1403]

I've just heard of this band and I already love it

[@metal882]

Whats even more amazing is that these guys are so well versed and musically intelligent they produce their own shit. They have said time and time again, they dont make musice soely for money, they dont make music for the fans, their just a group of guys that make the music they themselves want to hear. More bands should have this mentality honestly

[@nmularoni1]

That is what creating your own music should all be about. When people just waltz on by and bitch, then it is such a complete waste of time for them

[@human6310]

THIS IS WHY THEY'RE THE GOAT!!! THE GOAAAAT!

[@brianvillage5]

They’ve said time and time again that they make music for them and not their fans and that hopefully people like it.

[@IIIFrenchyIII]

I get paid friday, periphery gets paid Friday woooooo

[@blueskythinking4745]

Sumerian gets paid friday*

[@xSkullKrushax]

+Brandon and then aumerian pays periphery

[@CHAOTIKProject]

Sumerian probably pay them a tiny split of it. They're a friendly label and I don't know Periphery's exact deal, but most label deals IN GENERAL absolutely rob the artist

[@luigi1mario]

+Ben Hacker-Hughes periphery have mentioned before that they are taken care of very well by sumerian. how else do you think misha gets all the recording gear he has

[@86TDC]

+Luigi Masella arent Misha and the founder of the label actually friends? I think I read that they were in a band together

[@JumpMan1698]

Hearing Spencer utilize his low vocals has me questioning the universe.

[@deviltelletubbie]

It's insane how much he improves with each album. Blows most other vocalists in rock/metal away. I still can't understand the improvement between P1 and P2 though. There were times on P1 where you could clearly hear him straining or really pushing to hit certain notes. On P2 it was like he'd been doing it all his life. Dude is a marvel tbh

[@acemusic8060]

Blows away most mainstream singers too

[@deviltelletubbie]

+ACE Music Not even wrong!

[@benniehill927]

+pressxtosplode he had to record P1 in a week, he wasn't the original vocalists of the band. P2 was the album he had more than amplw time to do. But his progression is insane.

[@fiasworkshop]

+pressxtosplode practice practice practice!

[@Naamionalle1]

This will be the best album of 2016, hands down. Spencer's singing is just godly on this album.

[@TheNormanduartetolle]

4:21 to 4:23 still gives me goosebumps. Still brings tears to my eyes.

[@definitelynottigerwhitten5865]

My girlfriend and I just got separated by her parents over a few shitty texts. In her room she had speakers where she would play her music and I would put on this song as a joke for her frail dance music ears, a dancer, but eventually she grew to like it. She would ask me, "what's that one song that goes like'BOOTAY!!'" so I would send her this song. It was one only songs she could appreciate out of the songs in my genre and we would jam to it. Her parents sent her away, very far. She cannot communicate with me. Her family blocked my number. Thank you Periphery, for creating such a beautiful song. I feel dead, and this song brings to life the times we had, even through tears. I love you, baby, if you're reading this.

[@alexthegs2624]

Any update to this story man?

[@LafBoi]

Spencer's voice is really shining in this.

[@nottrevorallen]

[@blakezelda]

You’re 4 years too early

[@CycloneRotor103]

I can understand why these guys can pound out albums as quickly as they do: Some of it, as always, are re-worked Bulb demos, which is by no way, a bad thing. I've heard many of the demos that were later turned into Periphery songs, and while they sounded wonderful, weren't finished. It's like creating an incomplete puzzle or project, and having somebody else find the pieces to it. Great music, as always.

I’ve listened to periphery since I was in 7th grade, in 8th grade I went to see them live and caught mark halcombs pick, I remember it like it was yesterday shit seriously felt magic 😂 covid really has me looking back on how much of a blast it was to see bands live, I can’t wait to see these guys live again and continue to hear them grow as musicians/song writers.

[@erickmazur807]

Nice! 🤘🤘

[@CoDisafishy]

I just got that after reading it 3 different times... I'm oblivious.

[@stefanmccabe4705]

I love the synth in this. Sick how it slowly loses it's high end with Spencer's vocals. Adds so much depth!

[@eyesofadream]

So glad I am not the only one who noticed the subtle differences in the synth and how it corresponded to Spencer’s vocals. For someone reading this comment, basically in the middle when Spencer says “the dark on our side”, there’s some higher range synth there, but on the end of song (third chorus) that part is faded out to let Spencer’s higher vocals carry the melody! This is actually a very interesting song in terms of singing and melody overall. For example, the *tonal* screaming after the bridge that works with the guitar soloing and synths.

[@editnosmirc4489]

This album came out the same week me and the person I thought I was gonna spend my life with parted ways after 10 years and it honestly saved me. This song in particular. I'm so thankful for this band. They honestly saved my life.

[@Crystantemum]

Glad you found this song, hope you've learned a lot from that relationship and that you're either in a new one or as comfortable in your own skin as you can be day to day. Much love my fellow fan

[@randyscreations835]

Similar experience, except this was there at the beginning of the downward spiral, which I'm currently in irl.....I just realized I haven't hardly listened to this album since then, until now, stumbled upon this n skipped back to then vividly....10 years its been.....

[@Inflections]

Strongest song from their album so far. Lots of Devin Townsend vibe, maybe even some Dir En Grey in the chorus. Cracking stuff!

[@alicesachertorte2539]

Whenever you release a new song, you never fail at leaving me speechless as for how huge that snare sounds

[@natebassili2143]

same af lmao

[@GumiNightPower]

Matt *knows* his snare sounds damn well, that's for sure. For P1, it was pretty solid and well-rounded, and in P2, it was a bit heavier, more improved, and in P3, it's no different of a story. He just *delivers* that precise, yet ambient sound, and it gives the whole band's sound a bit more of a dynamic punch, ya know?

[@ColtsFan2016]

+GumiNightPower don't forget juggernaut. the snare was fat as fuck on those.

[@GumiNightPower]

Peyton Weir Oh hell yes. Hell Below, Alpha, Psychosphere, that snare is bloody *fantastic*.

[@DeltaDdrumming]

it amazes me that even his ghost notes can cut through 3 guitars, bass and vocals, that snare is unreal.

[@ImDzp]

awesome devin townsend vibes in this song i fucking love it.

[@DomSchu]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Cynnamynnt]

so THAT'S why i love it so much

[@calebknott8021]

just as I was reading this I was thinking "I wonder why he-" the choir vox came in and then I was like "Oh damn"

[@BenjaminKuruga]

Especially at 3:30. Spencer shows his love for Devy's vocals.

[@ins1demanwhitaker527]

Absolutely. Brilliant song. Also the production is similar to Devin's.

[@Djent_God]

@5:05 "DAH DUN... DAH DUN... DAH DUN... DAH DUN DAH DUN..DUN.... DAHHHHHH"

[@97mcarmen]

I love that part

[@jakesegdirb]

Nah man, you're thinking of bee boo boo bop boo boo bop.

[@ayushvora1672]

I'm ok to let my head fall off from my neck, headbanging to that closing progression.

[@BFK4LIFE]

[@ryanprint8663]

Jake Bridges, Electric Zoo my man 👍

[@herms21]

I get a major faith no more vibe with Spencer's vocals at the very beginning. so awesome

[@TobyKBTY]

I'm done. holy shit, as if the other songs were already good...then THIS comes out. My God it's fucking amazing. Hearing that test riff come to life in the best way possible. Unreal.

[@Dominoes282]

When I first heard the intro of this song after listening to that Axefx video.... CHILLS

[@victorjadowski5216]

The opening riff is the first riff of Axe-FX II Presets video. Crazy shit.

[@aryagamis]

I know i've heard it somewhere

[@cjlc93]

Blackmachine B6 Test.

[@revanchistz]

Never imagined a day that this riff would turn out to be in an actual song by them! Super stoked for their album!

[@Raivis909]

I WAITED SO LONG!!!

[@brandonnolde7455]

das it

[@StormChasersofOhio]

Sometimes I feel like writing metal in major keys is silly and not "real" metal but then I realize my two favorite songs by my favorite band are Masamune and now this one. Cartoon theory is another awesome collaboration/band

[@herms21]

love cartoon theory

[@robadobflob3405]

How can you feel that way? Its just key. What makes metal metal is the tonality of the instruments themselves, not the tonality of the whole piece in relation to key. You made that comment 4 years ago, so I hope you're doing well. I hope you 4 years ago would look up to you now ✌

[@StormChasersofOhio]

@@robadobflob3405 hell yeah. Never got really into making more serious music just ideas here and there. Check me out on SoundCloud if you want, just look up Jonny Glessner

[@erickmazur807]

My new EP is metal in major keys. It sounds happy

[@yourself88xbl]

The screams with the major/dissonant harmonies give me chills.

[@Yodoefrodo2012]

Been with periphery since 2011 and I've got to just come to the conclusion that these guys are aliens in musician form just gracing this menial earth with their grand musics.

[@MrBlueeyes247]

holy shit i've literally been saying the same thing to all my friends all these years haha

[@rich_ekid2757]

This song punched me in the face with how amazing it is

[@purplesky99876]

Okay definitely my favorite track released so far. Probably my favorite Spencer vocal display out of all their songs so far.

[@forgottentraveller5736]

This is the first song that I ever heard from Periphery about 2-3 years ago and honestly I've never looked back. Such a great fucking band dudes! I love everything about their music and how it just fills that special spot in my my own musical taste where I'm like "I like this thing, but what if they did it like this and added this to it" it's freaking fantastic Long live Periphery

[@WoWDanae]

ahhhh, I've been waiting for those intro vocals ever since I heard them in a preview. Periphery never disappoints.

[@RandalMcDaniel]

Not only badass music but an awesome illusion for a background.

[@cjlc93]

GET READY GUYS! This is the best one of P3.

[@adamrafalovich4320]

People say that music is dying, etc., but this, and so many other mind-blowing bands out there, gives me hope.

Spencer's vocals, especially in the "Beauty is but a visual in fantasy" part sounds a lot like Brandon Boyd, the lead singer of Incubus.

+Sean Martin also Incubus has a song called Agoraphobia and the chorus goes "I wanna stay inside, I wanna stay inside for good"

[@mrhamburgler480]

+Sean Martin aye, said it perfect. plus the atmospheric stuff from the synths across a lot of this album. A lot of people linking Absolomb and Epic by FNM, but I hear Make Yourself/Science vibes in it too. Which actually are rooted in Mike Pattons stuff and early RHCP too. Agoraphobia prolly one of my favs off ACLotM. Still impressive that Deftones (off topic) and Incubus have evolved and stayed with me from 12yrs old to now (28) mind fuck really lolol.
