Of Mice & Men - Vertigo

Purchase "Defy" here: RiseRecords.ln...
Motion, breaking the space,
The steps I retrace,
The ground feels like an ocean,
Writhing in pain, I try to explain,
The words just come out,
Broken like the limbs we used to crawl,
With hopeful eyes, into the sun.
My equilibrium becomes delirium.
Drifting in the tide, in the undertow.
Slowly going blind in the afterglow.
I am falling faster, vertigo.
Learning how to hold on, by letting go.
My spinning satellite head,
Disoriented,
It gravitates & spirals,
To find you instead, a means to an end.
A force that conquers,
Broken Moons & hollow worlds,
Suspended, motionless.
Collapse & coalesce.
My equilibrium sent to oblivion.
Drifting in the tide, in the undertow.
Slowly going blind in the afterglow.
I am falling faster, vertigo.
Learning how to hold on, by letting go.
How can you say that everything is meaningless,
When we are the product of such a random disaster?
Drifting in the tide, in the undertow.
Slowly going blind in the afterglow.
I am falling faster, vertigo.
Learning how to hold on to you,
By letting go.

So many fans sad that Austin left are blinded by his departure and don't truly admire the skill level that arron is performing at. Writing lyrics, playing bass, and performing ALL vocals simultaneously. Arguably the most talented member this band has ever seen and they don't even care.

[@maggotsxcl7403]

SYTHEOPATH 1 that’s true but it still sucks that austin is gone aha I have respect for him doing all that but I honestly feel this band is totally different now and doesn’t sound of mice and men anymore but the album is still really good

[@sytheopath1241]

Gregory Gonzalez Ya I feel u. It's fair to say it doesn't sound the same. And I can't be mad that people may not like this sound from the band, but I definitely feel like people jump on here and comment shit like "rip OM&M and totally discredit Aaron's skill and hardwork. Like damn, he's been a member of this band for a while too. Show some respect lol

[@irondudeful]

Low-key been waiting for him to take over vocals ever since I learned he was in this band. Or that he'd leave and start a new band :P

[@dimosrix]

SYTHEOPATH 1 well i disagreeing with your opinion. Austin was great live. Im not the huge fan of them but the style of music they create is well lets say it like this the same every song sounds kinda 😒 well what ever

[@sytheopath1241]

+dimosrix u just said u don't really like OMAnM. that's why I said "fans". plus Austin may be good live however he isn't that awesome of a screamer period. he lacks power. and aaron is a much better screamer, and he sings and plays bass. u can have an opinion but I'm not sure ur ooinion is relevant is here

[@offiziellerkanalvondoggen-7135]

Overall, this album has the same OM&M- style but not as sad or dark as the other albums. It's like when a door closes, a window opens. And out from this window it shines bright and hopeful. Absolutely gorgeous efford!!

[@ohiobassangler8781]

Offizieller Kanal von Doggen - Tee ™ Nice reference. Definitely spot on my man.

[@acerhythm7026]

they haven't been exciting like this since their debut lol

Aaron is the perfect guy fort his band!!!1

[@SoftDadLeon]

This band is like a Phoenix. When Austin left they went down in flames, then burst out of the ashes in a beautiful, stunning light show.

[@masamiruddinfajrinurputra9332]

I want to drive, real far, far away, and listen to this album

[@ganondorfchampin]

This band has grown so much from their beginning. They've gotten so much more melodic and complex.

[@StrawHatIzz]

Literally my first time listening to OM&M, and I'm already hooked.

ah nice new tune to relax my restless nerves

[@stephenhosking9074]

THIS IS OF MICE AND FUCKING MEN!!!! that opening riff. Jesus. all were missing is shayley everyone needs to get over themselves and let Austin heal. the man is sick. he stepped down and passed the torch to Aaron who is fucking running with it. if you hate this album you have never been a fan of this band then. they killed it.

[@acerhythm7026]

Seriously, its so fucking good. I dont think theres a single bad of mice and men song. Like i know bands that have those songs that get boring after awhile, of mice is the only band ive ever listened to that has zero skippable songs.

[@lucadaverous5278]

Am I the only one who thinks that this song sounds a bit like A Perfect Circle? It's one of my favorite DEFY songs btw

[@jaydeochinero3820]

I thought the exact same thing

[@treasure674]

The vocal lead into the hook and the hook itself are both so wonderful. One of my favorites on the record, I’m glad y’all are still kicking strong.

[@apaceofchange94]

I was there for the band back in the MySpace days. I remember changing my profile picture to the original OM&M cover and taking to Carlile in messages on there. I’ve seen it all, when no one knew them, to their first release and them starting to find themselves, to the breakout success (and absolutely incredible sophomore effort of The Flood), and then what I viewed as missteps and stagnation after that. This is the first album since The Food that I have loved, and while I do miss Carlile’s screams (it’s the reason I ever followed them in the first place) I love what Aaron is doing and I’m excited for what’s to come. Somehow through all the lineup changes and all of the drama that surrounds it this band prevails and continues to make great music (with this being my favorite song of the album).

[@tristananvilcaster]

This album is GREAT!!! :D

[@PoetryEmotion94]

Don't know why I'm thinking about 'Kiss From a Rose' by Seal when listening to this, but I'm loving it!

[@stevehooker279]

PoetryEmotion94 Lmao! Same dude.

[@PoetryEmotion94]

Especially when the chorus kicks in lol just A-B Kiss From a Rose's chorus and this one :D

[@princessburgos2838]

Can't unhear that now, lol.

[@BC-xt1dz]

Both songs are in the key of G and have similar melodies.

[@uwuhowell8998]

current new favourite song

[@derricksawyer5093]

I used to walk ten miles to and from work after my wife left me when it was over a hundred degrees and swear that listening to this got me through when I felt like dropping to my fuckin knees and giving up.

[@chad2565]

I love this

[@jgwentworth34]

This song alone blows everything on Cold World out of the water. Vast improvement.

[@METALRAY31]

Restoring Force is my all time favorite album from Of Mice and men and I think Defy is my second all time favorite album

[@lickmah9750]

I have always liked old Of Mice & Men and... they still sound badass. 🤘

I miss Austin but I am so proud of these guys for kicking out an amazing album in spite of their loss. AMAZING song. Lyrics, sound, everything. Just amazing.

[@steeezyjoey]

The band sure Misses him to :( But they had to move on w/o him! and someone had to step up front, his man Aaron would be honored so!

[@ErikJason_]

How could I miss this great song? This is dope.

[@wishy2070]

I haven't listened to Of Mice & Men since Shayley's departure. Now listening to this was like listening to a whole new band, but I honestly like this sound.

Que monótono, senti vontade de dormir ouvindo essa música... depois de um álbum tão maravilhoso como Cold World e dos outros 3 álbuns essa banda lança isso.. a voz é a maior identidade de uma banda, depois de perderem o Shayley perderam o Austin, muito difícil continuar ouvindo com o mesmo entusiasmo....vou continuar ouvindo os sons antigos.

My equilibrium is delirium... Bro what?🤘🏼

[@Preets998]

The Kim In The North delirium is the acute state of confusion.. so an equilibrium in delirium is an equilibrium that is confused and not balanced 👌

[@thekiminthenorth504]

preetsidoodle I liked that

[@user-cq9nc1hv3l]

Equilibrium is a state of balance,balanced dark and light,good/bad, he is saying that it turns into a delirium,which is a state of confusion

[@ItsAllNova]

great album, only song I didn't add to my playlist was "If we were ghost" and that's only because I like songs a little bit harder and that's just a little too soft for my liking. It was still a decent song though

[@Preets998]

iDxL they wrote it after chester of linkin park passed and its basically for him hence the softer tone.

[@kingoftheheartless502]

I think I love this album more then cold world I still love cold world though X3
