LYRICS
It’s not that you opened my heart
Folding like a reptile
Colder in the light
It’s not that the agony starts to pull me like a riptide
Pulsing in time
It’s one by one cut the circulation as the dust settles for you
Flood in the cut will run
An Eternal Blue sun to illuminate old wounds
I wish my blood would slow down
And what’s left of me, a cavity
At least this space is mine
It’s where you left me to die
I wish my blood would slow down
You can make my blood rush
Slow down
It’s taught that consuming their hearts
Will soothe you like a brush fire
Consuming on the incline
Not that the sediment starts to hold me like a sapphire
Frozen in time
It’s one by one cut the circulation as the dust settles for you
Blood in my eyes will run
An Eternal Blue sun to illuminate old wounds
I wish my blood would slow down
I’m waiting
And what’s left of me, a cavity
At least this space is mine
It’s where you left me to die
I wish my blood would slow down
You can make my blood rush
Slow down
And what’s left of me, a cavity
At least this space is mine
It’s where you left me to die
I wish my blood would slow down
You can make my blood rush
Slow down

I recently met someone so amazing that they truly make my blood rush and now I understand the true meaning of this song! 💗

[@robbierende]

This might be my fav song on the album! I’m in tears. It’s been years since an album made me feel this many emotions. After my first listen front to back I give it an iconic 11/10. 👽🤘 I have a mental condition called photo-synesthesia that makes me see different colors for all 12 natural minor/major scales. It’s the reason I have perfect pitch hearing. The album art consists of several shades of blue that I see when I hear songs in scales like F# minor and Eb minor. I was lost in a trance while listening to Secret Garden, Eternal Blue, and Constance while looking at the album art. These songs especially made me reflect on my life choices the last two years. I’ve been at a low point since 2019 slowly trying to crawl my way out. All of the songs made me feel alive. Made me embrace my depression. Made me forgive myself for my mistakes. Made me want to try and better my life. Enough about me though… What this album means for the metalcore community is monumental. Since Spiritbox formed in 2017 they kept releasing EP’s and singles while cutting their teeth and carving their way through the ranks. With Eternal Blue they have cemented themselves as the next big breakout metalcore band in a decade. Courtney’s lyrics and duel melodic and brutal vocal power matched with Mike’s melodic and brutal guitar is a duality that has gifted the metal community with the most unique album of the 2020s thus far. I feel so inspired musically and artistically. When the songs are melodic it ranges from a nostalgic 2000s alternative rock vibe, and when the 8 string guitars get heavy it’s modern djenty metalcore that’s brutal. There’s even slight prog metal vibes akin to Animals as Leaders or Tesseract. Spiritbox will be headlining big arenas soon… 👽🤘 What did you guys think of the album?

[@bradkohl99]

This was so well articulated. This song broke me to rhe point now that I’ve been laying in bed for an hour just shook.

[@Fiendir]

Now this, THIS is how you make the title track of an album. It's everything that made me fall in love with Spiritbox in the beginning, melding with all the most incredible elements I've seen them envelop into their sound ever since. Also, the repeating note that plays on the "6th" beat of the 6/8 in this song is... Man, it's just doing something I can't explain, to the way the entire track feels when you start to notice it. Here's hoping we'll hear about it in an interview sometime and that it won't haunt me too much until then lol

[@YuryVVV]

It's little details like this that can basically make the whole "feel" of the song. That's why I love Mara 1 so much, that high-pitched screeching guitar the haunts you throughout the song just takes it all the way up there, where you just wanna play it on repeat.
