The Unearthly Ones

Creature Feature

Here we are
The monsters in your closet
Sure as hell
You should be afraid

We are coming for you
We are coming for you

We exist
The grim haunters of houses
We’ll frighten
And steal your breath away

We are coming for you
We are coming for you
We are coming for you now

Beware the bumps in the night
The shadows on your wall
The nightmares of your youth

Believe in the boogeyman
Hiding beneath your bed
Just waiting to break loose

Don’t forget
Your fears of spooks and goblins
Sure as hell
We’ll still sneak up on you

We are coming for you
We are coming for you

Take cover
From all the creeps and ghoulies
You never
Know what we’re planning next

We are coming for you
We are coming for you
We are coming for you now

Beware the bumps in the night
The shadows on your wall
The nightmares of your youth

Believe in the boogeyman
Hiding beneath your bed
Just waiting to break loose

The unearthly ones scratched and clawed there way out of the grave
Called forth by the fear of the children lying awake
Fowl and grotesque
And Don’t let their whispers possess
Or your life’s done
And you’ll join the unearthly ones

Time to flee
An angry mob approaches
Sure as hell
They want our hides

They are coming for us
They are coming for us

An army
Of pitchforks and torches
They won’t stop
Until they hunt us down.

They are coming for us
They are coming for us
They are coming for us now

Beware the bumps in the night
The shadows on your wall
The nightmares of your youth

Believe in the boogeyman
Hiding beneath your bed
Just waiting to break loose

    My Opinion
    I Think It's How When We Get Older, We All Seem To Lose Fear In The Things We Used To Believe In, Like Say...The Bogeyman. We've All Forgotten This Fictional Creature Most Of Our Parents Told Us About So We'd Behave Correctly. (I Mean, I Never Believed In Him Because I Was Still A Smart-Ass When I Was A Kid, But Whatever.) Hints To The Mob, The Mob Is Referencing Of How Other, More Important Things Chased These Creatures From Our Minds. Things Like Taxes, Bills, Jobs, Money, Marriage, Children, And All That. That's What I Think, At Least. (By The Way, If I'm Wrong. Then Eh, I'm Only 12-Years-Old, Okay?)

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
