Polaris - Harbinger

Harbinger by Polaris
From the album 'Fatalism', out now!
Purchase, Stream at: bfan.link/fatalism
I’m staring through the static
I’m sensing that we stand on unstable ground
My words fail me now
Show me what my eyes won’t see
Show me what my mind won’t believe
I’m struggling to peer through the fog
Do we all have to suffer to see we were born to bleed?
I’m picking up the loose ends
I’m digging to the roots through the soil
To see what is there for me
Tell me where the heartsick go
Tell me why we all still follow
I’m starting to see through it all
Do we all have to suffer to see we were born to bleed?
Knowing well we’re soon to be
Just a feast for the crows to dine on
Just a feast for the crows
I’m staring down the barrel
I’m cutting to the marrow, right through the bones
Of a haven I once called home
Take me where the grass won’t grow
Take me where the trees are hollow
I’ve been digging to the roots of all that I know
But it’s still not enough to believe in the words we preach
(We burned every page of the book)
If we all turn our backs to the storm when the walls are breached
(And I still cannot bear to look)
When our burdens pull us over the edge
We’ll fall fast enough to feel our lungs give out
As we float through the static and sound
Dead eyes stare through the veil
Pulse weakens, words fail me now
Except to say we’re a lost cause

NOW THIS IS HOW YOU OPEN AN ALBUM!!!

[@vincenttrunfio3348]

No doubt man These guys just brought it with this album

[@alexr1680]

Gives me shivers everytime I open the album

[@8JFJK8]

This is probably my favorite song off the album. The last half of this song is probably my favorite section of Polaris’s discography.

[@jessemiles5856]

Almost thinking the same thing, freaking gnarly 1:40 on

[@8JFJK8]

⁠@@jessemiles5856Yeah man. Such a dope section.

[@nolankuffner3573]

Adding that bit of grit into the cleans is such a great choice. It's definitely an opener, but it absolutely flies by. 'I'm staring down the barrel, cutting through the marrow, right through the bones' the flow of the lyrics throughout the album are incredible, but this song starts at 10 ❤️

[@squire_joe1985]

Shit gets me pumped up every time!

[@user-ew2vw8cw6m]

The best song is nightmare

[@Stoneman180190]

I love how the opening tracks get better each release. Lucid was out the gate running, while Pray for Rain and Harbinger slowly build up then bang.

[@nolankuffner3573]

The phrasing in the cleans is familiar yet not, wondrous yet restrained. How an album written with could be so mournful yet entirely celebratory is anyone's good guess. In any other words, this album is the most complete and resplendent in your catalogue, and a standout across music this year. Triumph never sounded so bittersweet.

Lol

[@anthonylabarbera3656]

this opener will be amazing to hear live. this whole albums is perfection

[@youngshroom9641]

[@randykuhn3596]

Man I'm literally listening to this the most out of any song. What a way to open on this album. So so so good.

[@benjatopham4312]

This song is a masterpiece

[@Hennywise]

The Boys are finally back in Town! 💥🔥

[@Kvsselee]

Reminds me the first song of AFI-Sing the sorrow, EPIC way to start an album ♥️

[@ElMarcoHoJ]

This album is so fucking good. 3 amazing albums for 3, these boys simply do not miss.

[@RobintheHood17]

God I love this song

[@handsomerube]

Favorite track on the album. Hearing BMTH vibes on this one. 👌

[@tsug1375]

This song needs to go for 10 minutes.. (or 100) the feel and energy is fkn brilliant. chills.. amazing build and evident of progress.

[@kaswrd_]

Te quiero mucho Polaris ❤

[@kolipoli4952]

These lyrics are so to me. As someone who goes through suicidal ideations, especially in the gym, these lyrics reach beyond my depths.

[@michaf6661]

Amazing power song for me. I love this song.

[@PheonixRynn]

Ty for adding the lyrics!

[@pariskotsaros]

Best song of the album 🤙

[@brandonmcclellan963]

Damn this is incredible

[@xrsydi8331]

Album of the year

[@haydenabrahams4074]

agreed!

[@nolankuffner3573]

From the second single on, just absolutely captivating. There's usually 4-5 songs I run through on an album, this shit is 9-10 every single time.

[@sagewallace]

I really would think TMBTE, but honestly, after ryan passing it makes this mean so much more.

[@savinakelly]

Agreed too

[@marco.coron3l738]

POLARIS ❤

[@breakdownsandmore]

Such a good intro

[@jessemiles5856]

Whole album is incredible but mannnn this opener has to be one of if not the best album openers ever to exist.

[@halibutmoonrifle7215]

The start has some Bad Omens feels 🎉 so bloody good lads ❤❤❤

[@kurtisvella9379]

❤❤❤

[@JuanCruzFabi]

Guitars at 1:40 are groovy af

[@philipmuchahary1203]

Polaris is ❤🤘

[@pauloneill2530]

Great father's day gift getting my sorry head around the fantastic new album 😂

[@SamBrockmann]

That buildup, son.

[@ScarredCore1]

Australia produces some sick metal music, if only the place was habitable by humans…

[@jacobevans7262]

This album is nowhere near the death of me

[@shaunrohman2805]

Facts

[@everchanger2125]

Agreed

[@minecraftsteve2504]

This album is better than The Death of Me

[@ElMarcoHoJ]

All 3 albums are incredible. Go cry elsewhere.

[@sole__doubt]

So mediocre it hurts.
