musestu Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm not too sure this in the final mix tbh. it just sounds off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_of_cydonia Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 "show me mercy from the godless and mean" lol, wtf, is matt religious and attacking atheists now or am I reading way too much into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 "show me mercy from the godless and mean" lol, wtf, is matt religious and attacking atheists now or am I reading way too much into it? I just noticed that part as I read your post. That is a strange lyric, but remember Matt's writing in character for most of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrebleRose689 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Finally listened! I really like it, so pretty! It's still technically my least favorite of the four songs we've heard so far, but I think the studio version lives up to the live version!

Hat Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 "show me mercy from the godless and mean" lol, wtf, is matt religious and attacking atheists now or am I reading way too much into it? The song isn't from his own perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwingsrock Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 "show me mercy from the godless and mean" lol, wtf, is matt religious and attacking atheists now or am I reading way too much into it? I hear "gutless and mean" not godless?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Musewiki says "godless". Lyrics are bad in general,but it's become standard now so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I hear "gutless and mean" not godless?? I thought I heard "guiltless" earlier. It's hard to tell some times with Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_of_cydonia Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The song isn't from his own perspective. agreed, but narrative wise we align with the main character. and he also stuffs together in the same chorus powers that be, killing machines, the mean... all the favourite Bellamy villains found it a bit strange that the godless are included in such company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcools Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) pretty boring tbh. agree on the "treble" comment. im sensitive to higher frequencies in some way (when i play guitar i always turn tremble to 0-1, else my ears hurt) and it sounds really not that good in the beginning.

Keth Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I actually quite like it. The heaviness of the guitar is nice although I'd love to hear the synth more clearly too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwingsrock Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I thought I heard "guiltless" earlier. It's hard to tell some times with Matt. For sure. Hopefully they have the lyrics with the CD sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wriinkly feet Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 pretty boring tbh. Exactly what I'm thinking, song just doesn't go anywhere :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_of_cydonia Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I thought I heard "guiltless" earlier. It's hard to tell some times with Matt. ah, that actually make more sense. I saw the godless lyric on musewiki too, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k024er7 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I honestly think he sings "Show me mercy from the powers of bees" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musestu Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The mixing between the Chorus and the verse doesn't work. But that Chorus though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckmuser14 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I thought it was going to be a lot worse for some reason after hearing that bootleg. I enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That mix . Wtf. It's all over the place. Synths are so low :'(. The bass has no bass either and the guitar rather than heavy is messy and sludgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musestu Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Song is so fkin meh... Big Freeze v2? Apart from it's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 ah, that actually make more sense. I saw the godless lyric on musewiki too, though Musewiki can be edited by anyone, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything. After listening again, I'm thinking "gutless" is the most accurate guess so far. As far as the lyrics, I do really like this part at least: Absent gods in silent tyranny We're going under Hypnotized by another puppeteer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Musewiki says "godless". Lyrics are bad in general,but it's become standard now so... I can edit Musewiki to say "Fabripav". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well for sure,I didn't mean it as "it's like that for sure",I meant it more like "another person seems to think so as well". Plus I hear "godless" as well,after paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even mind the "eat my soul" bit since he's talking about ghosts so it kind of makes sense...? At least in a horror film kind of way...

I just think "devour" sounds much better in the context of a song, so I would've preferred that for both lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altbecky Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Is it possible that this isn't the final version we've gotten, and the official release will have a better mix? I've not heard it yet, but the mix is the most common complaint I've read so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
