Till the DIrt

Outside the Spiral

Outside the Spiral

---

Vocal

At first this '90s-sounding clean vocal surprised me, but I think it actually does work. It is different with the high-screaming mix, but there is something I like about it.

Music

The music again reminds me of something from the '90s, in a good way.

Lyrics

I feel like this is a state of giving up on the truth or things being good. It is already decided because you are stuck in this spiral. There is no clarity inside of it. Reminds me of the cycle of abuse, where people play parts, and already know answers because it is playing out inside a cycle.

Roll all your credits while playing out the scene
Whisper through rivers and never-ending streams
Lockjawed, tormented, complicit, affected
Pushed to defend, pushed to reflect it

Outside the spiral, magnified
Capped off with the spirit in their eyes
Turn back the dial, glorified
Cannot take it with you with your demise
