Lechium

It seems as though the writer has thought..and come to the realization that what he has is nothing... the idea of being "beneath ground" and "beneath the currents of hope and faith" portrays stagnancy...the realization that all our hopes and faiths are unfounded..

quite dim don't u think?

but he doesn't seem to have a problem with it...cause the knowledge has brough an eery "content"

I think the idea of this song is very similar to Yatahaze

it's part of the journey that leads back to the start... as Yatahaze outlines

This song is really awesome...

To really understand the song's lyrics, it's absolutely necessary to read the story which accompanies Leitmotif.

this isnt Lechium, this is crosswind minuet, btw. but whatever. its my fav dredg song of all. whenever i listen to this song in the dark i float away to another world, its crazy. theyre the only band thats done that to me.

this IS lechium! i also thought it was Crosswind Minuet for some time, but then someone told me the first song is actually the symbol song, and not movement 1.. the intermission is in "traversing through the artic cold..."'s track..

i don't know much about this song's meaning, but i don't think that "Beneath currents of hope and faith " is associated to stagnancy... currents imply movement to me. It's like people are driven by religion/beliefs (hope and faith), but it's time to get rid of that control ("Now it is time To surface.")..

yeah it is lechium, stupid.

Does anyone actually know what the ? part is? I've never been able to come close to getting it by listening, and thus far it doesn't seem like anyone else has. Any ideas?

Well, it starts with 'Eee-yah-yah-yahyah' but aside from that, no.

This is my favourite dredg song, I love the intro build up and the big distortion bit that comes in. It's perfect. I wish they still played it live.

Listening to a live version of this song, I have deciphered the first line of the elusive "????" (after the aa-ee-aah part that is).

"Break the bubble"

Dying to know what he's screaming. "Let me on your back?" That can't be right...

Getting closer. Hope the next person that sees this takes a stab at deciphering the missing bit in parentheses. Can't find the rest in the liner notes. Maybe I'll figure it out one day.

Break the bubble S(a) (ra) (ai) Let's / Move / On, Progress, And when / You / Grow
