Antimatter Lyrics

Silhouette
Guilty conscience:
Barely hanging by a breath
Cut the lights and make me your oblivion
And I will follow
Through the phosphorescent streets
I'd give anything to be in over my head

Aftermath
Broken promises collapse
Bodies lay like shattered glass
Hold the pieces feel how nothing ever lasts
With tunnel vision fading in
How I've thirsted for the end
Pull me closer till I'm in over my head

We are broken bodies bound for each other
In the impact we become antimatter
The dust hasn't settled but we feel the decay
Torn limb from limb I am swearing your name
Our hands collide, we brace together
In the impact we become antimatter

We're waiting in the wreckage for the sun to rise
I'm staring at the fractures no one else can see they're so complete
When morning comes will there be anyone left to find?
My vision starts to surrender as colors subvert the night

Stolen by auroras, our bodies realign
Magnetic in the impulse show me the other side
Suspended in the ether till I felt you in my chest
I know we're not alone, but I'm in over my head

We are broken bodies bound for each other
In the impact we become antimatter
The dust hasn't settled but we feel the decay
Torn limb from limb I am swearing your name
Our hands collide, we brace together
In the impact we become antimatter

Cover art for Antimatter lyrics by Silent Planet

The California metallers’ latest effort is an incredibly personal and powerful one, as it comes after a horrifying van crash they experienced in 2022.

“At approximately 5am on November 3, we were westbound on the I-80 through Wyoming when our driver hit a patch of black ice, causing him to lose control of our vehicle,” explains singer Garrett Russell. “Asleep in our bunks, we woke to the sound of our friend screaming as we felt the van start to tilt. We braced together as we spun off the road, van falling on its side, then sliding down a nearby embankment until we eventually flipped onto the roof. I was thrown across the vehicle and briefly knocked out, and remember waking to find my bandmates all miraculously safe inside their bunks.

“This song is an extension of this experience we shared while huddled in the wreckage together, my friends helping me to stem the bleeding of my head wound,” he continues. “Temporarily under the effects of a concussion, strange visual distortions began to form, inspiring many of the themes in this song: The fragility of life, the way we make sense of it all, and wondering what awaits us on the other side.

“While this track is part of a larger story of our upcoming concept album, this one was specifically inspired by this moment… and the moments inside of that moment when I entered that timeless space. This song is our response to the greater Silent Planet community, who donated to help us stay on the road and continues to believe in this project.”
