tdrunner95 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Right after the lyrics ¨Now you have finally have the code, I have given you the code¨ you can hear what sounds like reversed and sped up voices. Threw it into Audition, slowed it down to 250% and reverse it. Attached the file below. I'm pretty sure the voices are bits of lyrics from the others songs on the album. ¨Dead Inside..¨ ¨A fucking psycho!¨ ¨The world just disavows¨ (Backing track possibly from Reapers/The Handler) ¨Now I'm a defector¨ (Something possibly from Revolt/Aftermath) The Globalist tells the same story as the rest of the album but with a bad ending, so it makes sense that right before the bad ending there are these flashbacks. If anyone can figure out what the others are or correct me that'd be cool. holy shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teitan Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I saw that earlier today. Adds a pretty cool wrinkle to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibros Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 you guys are over processing it. I think it's simply the story of the opposite side (of the protagonist) infused with strong feeling of loneliness. To me there's more link with MOTP than it is to CE.

Zolic Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 If they'd only let the last part before the piano kicks in to elevate a bit I would've loved this song. The part former released on instagram should've been repeated once (it flows perfectly into itself when played on guitar) before going into the last bit, which should've grown a bit and have more of a apocalyptic climax imo. Would've been so juicy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Just realized from the making of that "ascension bit" that Dom commented on Chris doing a slide, well that bass section is no where to be found in this song. I never expected the middle section to be basically the same riff for 2 minutes. I expected it to start out differently and develop in different ways around the same tone. So it seems they cut stuff, from a section that we all already think is too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think this would've been more interesting as the climax of the main narrative. Or maybe in the middle like CE was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleluman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I was starting to enjoy the last part, then I heard Matt sing "It's you and me, babe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I was starting to enjoy the last part, then I heard Matt sing "It's you and me, babe" If The Handler had a babe slipped in it I would've ejected the disc and put it in the trash immediately. lol. Well if I was listening to the real album and not a leak but you get the picture. Just ruins any bit of serious tone when that word is thrown into a song.

Matt's Jawbone Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I was starting to enjoy the last part, then I heard Matt sing "It's you and me, babe" Love that line It's human nature the greatest hunter will survive alone with no one left to love The way Matt delivers that line is just perfect.

BigGeorge Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It's grown on me immensely since i've first heard it. It'll probably be a classic at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Matt has stated a few times (and I think Chris as well) in no uncertain terms that the song is a sequel to CE. I don't find it coincidental that you can draw parallels between the two with very little effort. Of course there are some obvious shared themes across the two respective albums, even if OoS deals with them in a more metaphorical sense. As a combined narrative though, it provides the most thorough interpretation of CE's lyrics that I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah as a combined narrative that's really the only way I see the two link together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It's definitely a grower,while I liked it from first listen,I'm starting to like it more and more. Still needs less UsOE and more riffage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I love the slide guitar part at the start, and when that tremolo riff kicks in is just Although I do think that the heavy part didn't last long enough, still a great song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problemattic6492 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 So first piano part is basically Soaked... Lol, yep! But I think the vocal delivery and even lyrics are much better here; it becomes kind of pained, haunting, and wistful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam_jk Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 To me something seems odd with the timing when the tremolo comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark_ Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I personally imagine the tremolo being global nuclear war and the first bomb was when it got louder. I'm assuming global nuclear war with nukes going off all over the place doesn't really last long, which is why that section would be short. Then of course it would cut to post-apocalypse with the whole piano thing. I really hope there's some good imagery if they do a lyric video of it, I was kind of disappointed by The Handlers lack of imagery during the solo which it really needed. Then again it is just a lyric video. This is pretty much what's suggested by the lyrics as well. So it does make sense narratively - just less so musically.

heyjackk Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I hope we get a lyric video of this to be honest, will be pretty cool to see what they'd do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComeTheDrones Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I love it - shame the heavier part of the song was so short. The rest of the song could be part of a movie soundtrack or something similar, had a very large and epic feel to it. The only real let down was the over-hype it received for being known as 'Citizen Erased 2', there are some likenesses but The Globalist just feels too different.

Old Man Pigeon Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 To me something seems odd with the timing when the tremolo comes in. Yeah if feels a bit tacked on just to give the heavy bit some variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
