PERIPHERY - Racecar

Lyrics:
Freedom beyond or control
Partition, they break out in endless stride
I'm on the floor in travail
Faithful days fall
Memories hold
Free my soul
Seeking within
The curtain call
Fleeing our fate
Every step now recalled
Down the drive
Staying so close
Retraction weighs my soul
We are thunder
We are all the space in tow
Now again
This happening
My handle is honest calculation
Free of the pain
Seeking the glow
We both need it so
Time will give way
Time will formulate
Seeking within
The curtain call
Fleeing our fate
Every step evolved
Don't deny
Staying so close
Creation is our goal
Discretion, the only thing that made me incomplete
Cast the sail, just to spin this fate
Cross the empty sect in flight
Pleasant memories
Redefine all that's left
The sound it makes me scream
I can hear your voice at night
(Your light lost in a waking dream within)
Freedom is not of control
Endless the chase, pushing through
I'm so engulfed
Falling to strain, but I still persist
I'd like to paint this tapestry
With our blood
To represent the symmetry
Finding a sickened result of possibility
Refuse the violent source and pain that made you
Left to deny that it will change with no solitude
Let us take this train
Leaving the form, stretching far beyond what I can see
Chasing the race
Left to complete
My revelation
Reaction creates the fall
Realize
These are broken words
Shattered thoughts amend
See beyond the only present road
Just let go
Counsel to ascend
See beyond the only present hold
Let go
Cannot comprehend
Leave it all to find a moment's love
I am
Working to be
Complete
No more adversity
Growing consciously
My revelation
Reaction is not the call
Rely
On my new self
Rising on my own
Sage advice, embrace wisdom
Hang the past
Take the helm
Fashion a new future to live
In your flame
I see regret
I've awakened
To feel a piece of distant harmony
How could I not see
Possibilities and unlimited passion
Hello luminescent being
Walking outside of my last identity
Celebrate
For in the end
We'll meet inequality
I see light
I see light in your eyes

The three longest Periphery songs (Omega - 11:46, Racecar - 15:21, and Reptile - 16:45) all add up to, 2,632 Seconds, which is 43:51. So every time you have sex, it should last at least 43:51, or else youre just better off listening to Periphery

[@phillipshaner3400]

Why not do both at once?

[@elijahelbourn5709]

@@phillipshaner3400 good point. the best idea would be to do that but that leaves the problem of: what if periphery/sex ends first? then you'd be stuck just doing one of the two in the end anyway

[@B3Band]

When my band gets a 45 minute set, we aim for 9 songs and hope we can squeeze 10. Periphery can literally just play Racecar, Omega, and Reptile.

It blew my mind that after 3 years of listening to this song over and over again, I just learned that Jeff Loomis was the one who did the epic solo from 10:20. I really thought the whole time that Bulb was the one who did it.

[@AugieSubsJrock]

We're in the exact same boat here buddy.

[@swine13]

Literally never heard of periphery even knowing of Loomis, so it's news to me as well

[@DomZone123]

At the time I always knew Misha's iconic sound at his samples to p1 and p2 always using the neck pickup and so far from the solo of Jeff Loomis. Misha has that style of Allan Holdsworth almost since he got some influence from Allan

You know when you haven't played Halo CE in a long time, and you play again and see the Forerunner structures shooting beams of blue light into the sky and just say "Wow that's beautiful"? That's how this song makes me feel, especially at 12:42. I just get this feeling of nostalgia and mystery and awe all at once, and Halo CE is the only thing that has ever given me the same feeling. I hope someone else can relate.

[@satopsycho2152]

so many times I've been listening to periphery songs, ragnarok and racecar as well, but I didn't notice that fact somehow. I feel my mind moved further! What a awesome notice though!

[@Dezdom]

Is this for any reason to do with the story of Ragnorok on the album (muramasa, ragnorok, masamune) because that would be extra cool

[@joeytocd]

Dezdom Not necessarily in the narrative, but just a little musical nod. The interlude outro in Ragnarok references a section in Racecar. Since they're alphabetically ordered on my iPod, I hear them back-to-back, which is how I noticed.

Periphery's best song ever, and one of the finest djent tracks ever recorded. So many interesting chord progressions and rhythms. 9:11-10:49 still gets me everytime.

[@MusiicyPowaa]

+Daniel Draugsvoll I love the whole song aswell, but yeah, I can totally relate to what you say bro ! This part is definitely the best part of the song, and also one of their best riffs of all imo (even tho it's a pretty "simple" one compared to a lot of their other stuff) The solo is just beautiful and chills me to the very bones, and the riff itself ... I just don't have the words for it :D That being said, I would also include the following of the riff when Satello comes back (until 11:27) along with the end of the song when it comes back, with another solo aswell.

[@danieldraugsvoll236]

I agree, that part is also amazing. The whole song is. I really wish Periphery would start writing these long, fast and experimental songs again... didn't really enjoy Alpha/Omega too much.

[@MusiicyPowaa]

Daniel Draugsvoll I feel what you say. Last album is a bit off in my opinion ... It's so short, and I really miss a certain level of creativity I could find in Perpihery 1 & 2 :|

For me this is a perfect example of what progressive metal should be. Unusual melodies and odd time signatures are NOT sound too weird. All parts are connected with each other. Damn, I love this song

[@tomekk.1889]

4 years ago but this is for new people here: there are no odd time signatures in this song

[@VasKurtas]

There are, but not whole song. 2:55 section is in 5/8+6/8+5/8+8/8 I'm no expert but this sure does not sound like straight rhythm (even though it adds up to 24 beats). 6:38 is in 5/4 for sure, ad well as 8:22 and 11:52 7:12 is in 7/4 11:27 and 12:28 is in 17/8 (maybe it's just 1 beat added every 2 bars in 8/8) 12:42 is in 17/8 in some kind of triplet thing idk, but it definitely is not 4/4 I should get a job

[@tomekk.1889]

@@VasKurtas The entire song is written in 4/4 it just has odd syncopation which makes you look for things that aren't there. It's easier to visualize when you try to actually play it and count the time.

[@VasKurtas]

@@tomekk.1889 You may have an opinion, but I think it's wrong) There is no way this song is in 4/4 with just some syncopations. You literally cannot count rhythm so it would make sense in 4/4 at the timecodes that I wrote above. I hope the real expert will come and judge us

[@tomekk.1889]

@@VasKurtas I'm mot wrong haha. Youre overthinking it. Mark doesn't think in time signatures. Watch his creative process and you'll see. Just because the time signature changed for a few bars doesn't mean the time signature of the song changed. It's still in 4/4

[@doozythedoctor]

I am SOOO lucky to have seen this song performed live in 2010. A moment I will always cherish. I just wish that when more youtube reactors did Periphery, that theyd react to this instead of Marigold and Reptile.

[@JabrohamsProductions]

It was Casey Sabol. Not Spence.

[@regnuol]

JabrohamsProductions It's Spencer. The production quality isn't as good compared to the second album, but it's still pretty easy to tell that it's his voice. "As a result, Sabol's and Barretto's lyrics and vocal melodies and harmonies are still featured on the record." So some harmonies and melodies are still in here, but overall Spencer definitely (re)recorded all the main vocals on this album.

[@djentrification1631]

Really? I feel like is a pretty intense song to throw to a brand new listener, lol. Usually, I'll recommend something like Scarlet or Make Total Destroy, cause they feel a bit more accessible. Not saying that Racecar is a bad song by any means, in fact, this is up there among my favorites. It's just that a new listener might not appreciate the intricacies without first having understood Periphery's base sound.

Still the best Bulb/Periphery song. Brilliant.

[@Eiighty]

This wasn't just a song this is an entire experience

[@LateStageCap]

Spencer complainers, just shut up and don't listen to these versions, open up another tab, and listen to the full album instrumental, they got a studio edit of that aswell. Have fun

[@ramirax5390]

Austin Hynes You sir, are ridiculous.

[@tromboneman4517]

Inthinkable, Spencer is a really darn good vocalist. He’s improved significantly since this record, which was not bad at all.

[@Cragmortis]

Amazing

[@Kobrakai392]

This entire song is a work of art!

[@ratlinggull2223]

'These are broken words' Periphery's lyrics summed up in a sentence.

[@julesa.1820]

0:47 - 1:07 ah jeez, this section man ❤️❤️❤️

[@lakejizzio7777]

I pity billions who didn't get to hear this masterpiece.

[@zondurite]

truly a piece of art.

[@david7638]

This song is so fucking good. It has everything on it. IT EVEN HAS GUEST VOCALS BY ELLIOT. Perfection.

[@jadedasrandomosity0151]

Are his vocals the singing parts or the screams? Or are they both his? aha

[@david7638]

He has a clen part in 4:37 everything else is Spencer's voice

[@jadedasrandomosity0151]

Is 5:57 not Elliot too? It doesn't sound like Spencer is all. I know there was apparently a part from Casey's recording that was in the song but idk

[@david7638]

I have no idea. maybe Caysey or Chris. Not sure tho. Maybe it's just Spencer. But he doesn't use that type of vocals in anything else.

[@ufukinwotm8434]

who is elliot?

[@MrJoHnConsTanTine1]

13:08 gives a very strange feeling of freedom. I see light.

[@bubu333yt]

This album raised the technical level of music I love so high that it stopped me playing guitar after 10+ years.

[@EEeE3771]

I usually don't have an appreciation for vocals, but I love Spence's voice so much.

[@marksanus2949]

11 years ago 😢 Honestly where the fuck does time go?

[@DomZone123]

4:37 idk why but it sounds perfect, ooh who am i kidding everything sounds perfect

[@TheRadPi]

the long, epic song is a lost art nowadays. this is this decade's "suppers ready" seriously blown away by this piece

[@Skyunai]

I've listened to the song forwards and backwards and it sounds the same both ways through, periphery is genius!

[@kcsanson4216]

I've def. Listened to this song for 72 hours !

[@kylehowley6386]

So 5 times? Lol

[@Cooliefuse28]

This is literally my first time listening to this song with vocals.

[@richardleo3335]

Teddy Fuse it’s bombbbb huh

[@WhaddupImJohn]

Easily my favorite song. Ever.

[@kadinwisniewski6928]

Fun story about this song and in particular, Jeff Loomis's guest solo on it: Loomis has been my favorite guitarist for a pretty long time now. When I listened to this album for the first time and it got to this song, that solo started playing and it captivated me immediately. The longer it went on the more I was thinking, "holy shit this solo is insane." By the time it was finished I was floored, thinking that it was one of the greatest solos I've ever heard. After the song ends and the album is done I open up the CD booklet and read the liner notes and what do I see but, "Guest solo on "Racecar": Jeff Loomis" I felt so validated. My favorite guitarist passed a totally blind listening test with flying colors and to this day it's one of my favorite guitar solos ever.

[@mataiopedraza6933]

Took me a month to learn this on the drums. Sick af

[@Th3Raz96]

I'm finna start learning their stuff on guitar. It's gonna take a lot of work but I feel if I put a lot of effort into this style of playing, it'll greatly improve my playing. They've very solidly combined rhythm with lead in these riffs and that's one of the trademarks of an expert player

[@xCynder]

11:27 - 12:45 Pretty awesome riffs going on

[@Hvitekrist777]

xCynder my fav of all time

[@luisxgonzalez]

This section is what made me love Racecar so much

[@ModernTruth]

I feel the same way, man.. The part at 12:42 and how they included it in Ragnarok actually made me shed a tear.. Thumbs up for Periphery, they are masters at their work, and I feel honoured to have met with them in Oslo and have gotten the experience of talking to them and getting a bit of a closer look at their amazing personalities!

[@nickyl3884]

The section at 9:30 with the heavy djent and clean background guitars along with section at 6:40 of Satellites are SOOO GOODDD some of my favorite periphery moments
