Bastions

Majestic Desolation

A Broken Crown

---

Vocals

I like how the vocals are laid out in a talking format, but with a screaming intensity. I like how the longer-held words often get more tense. 

Music

I like the layout of the song. Pretty straightforward. I never like clips in music, but it was hardly noticeable in this song, and it needed that change.

Lyrics

I think the idea of breaking a crown makes me think there was something there that had worth, or some situation where you had some kind of power. But there has been a change, and that thing isn't valuable anymore. There doesn't seem to be hope for repair here. The damage is done.

Yes we bruise very easily, but we heal very quick. 
I’m resting in place, by being worried sick.
Fingertips alone won’t bring you home, caught in a place all alone.
A broken soul, like all of us, just so cold, no more trust.

A broken crown, a broken town, no salvation, nothing found.
