Song Review // 2022-07-02

In Flames

State Of Slow Decay

---

Vocals

The vocal is notably them. It sounds passionate. The transition to the deeper vocal, and then singing, was smooth but didn't bore me. Memorable chorus. 

Music

I find it is always hit-or-miss with this band. Not every song is equal. This song is a hit, for me. The riffs are good, the flow of the song is good. Not overly long, so it kept my attention.

Lyrics

This band always has lyrics that are honest, which I can appreciate.

This seems to be talking about things literally falling apart to the point where you don't want it to exist anymore. You had no control, and it has changed you. I think it is very relatable, because we all screw up or wind up in screwed up situations.

It is my reflection
But I know it's not me
I am becoming something else
I feel the weight of the key

The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We are all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris

Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comеs
Destroy everything
