The Ascending Lyrics
Her hip bone. The pendulum. The smell of home and the consequence of emptiness. So proud of this machine, This is the strongest I've ever been.
This is the quicker way to make things right between you and I. The solid solution for birds to take flight, for everything to just be alright.
When the design of the machine is made up of all our wildest dreams, you'll finally want to live.
Oh I want to hold the cure to your lonelines to keep you here. This feeling is so severe but there's things between us left unclear and it's all coming round faster.
This image you believe is exactly what it seems. This machine you see is me. I'm all wrapped up in pretty.
Are you breathing? Cause my world stopped spinning. Roll back to the beginning when the phone was ringing and I was singing this hollow little tune to you;
"Are you breathing or are you sinking?"

I knew id be the first to comment haha not too many people know these guys.. which blows cuz they are seriously good! They have such a good sound together as a band.. and the lead sing is especially amazing, i love the way he pushes his voice to almost the virge of a scream in the beginning.
I can't exactly tell what this song is about.. but it almost sounds like its about somebody on life support. He's talking about just pulling the cord and letting them go. Clues that point to this: "so proud of this machine, its the strongest ive seen"- The machine is literally keeping whoever alive. It is their life. "This is the quicker way to make things right between you and I"- Just ending it would make things so much quicker for the both of them. "Oh I want to hold the cure to your lonelines to keep you here. This feeling is so severe but there's things between us left unclear and it's all coming round faster."- on the other hand if he doesn't do pull the cord, he could keep whoever(possibly a former lover?) in his possession forever. but the decisions already made, which is why he says I WANT, because his mind is already made up.
"Are you breathing? Cause my world stopped spinning. Roll back to the beginning when the phone was ringing and I was singing this hollow little tune to you;"-It's the point where he finally takes action, about to do it, he can barely believe thats what its come to. He wishes things could go back to how they wer. but knows its too late.
cool! :)
