    Hey girl, Imma eat your soul
    I got this sword
    Dashing, young and bold
    Let's collect hearts on the way
    Plus two, to you, in the evil bay
    So hey girl, what should we do?
    Get clues, drink some potions that are blue
    Well, you know, there just isn't time
    I don't got the time
    I don't got the time
    Oh, look up girl, show me what you have to use
    (Right now I'd...) Oh, look up girl, show me what you have to use
    (Right now I'd... I'd be the bitch, but I left you, I left you in the ditch)
    (Right now I'd...) Oh, look up girl, show me what you have to use
    (Right now I'd be the...) Oh, look up, girl...
    Bite the line, remove the words that follow (This battle's narrowing)
    Turn the key or in the mud you wallow (Hold off, I surrender)
    Stay for me (Burning bushes may be cold as shoulder)
    One door...
    Flip the latch
    Go on and catch the boulder
    (Can't fake now)
    Let go!
    Step back, let go
    Step back, let go
    Step back, let go
    Step back, let go
    "All of those who took the rode before you,
    they were possessed by the dark power,
    but you... you shall do this alone
    As you walk through valley of the gorgonian tempest,
    the tri-elemental black darkness was engulfing the sovereign lands
    Use the plus nine staff of the bobcat a voice said from above
    Defeat the demon of rathcorf and you will restore peace to the land
    and lineage of your blood"
    Step back, let go
    Step back, let go
    Step back, let go
    Step back
    (Step back, let go, step back, let go)
    One night, I woke (Say one more line)
    With all these hopes (Stay for me)
    (Step back, let go, step back, let go)
    Say one more line
    I believe there's meaning
    No, I believe there's nothing
    I believe there's meaning
    No, I believe there's nothing
    Stay for me...
    (Step back, let go, step back, let go)
    One night, I woke (Say one more line)
    With all these hopes (Stay for me)
    (Step back, let go, step back, let go)
    Say one more line
    I believe there's meaning
    No, I believe there's nothing
    I believe there's meaning
    No, I believe there's nothing

    I just realized, "Evaporate" calls back to this song even more than the rest because of the layering of voices, including the start when Jon cuts in with "Step back, let go" in the background.

      I've probably commented this everywhere on DGD videos, but yeah, 2:38 and onward is just ridiculous. The layered vocal tracks, the desperate lyrics, the melancholic (for lack of better word) instrumentals, and the singing itself. So much emotion that it's hard to not feel, especially with that squeaky whine at 3:14. In the 7 or so years I've followed post-hardcore/metalcore/whatever, nothing has topped it for me.

      Right. WISIRO and DBM just bleed post-hardcore. Modern DGD is very catchy, but very formulaic, and loses the raw unpredictability that made these albums age well, IMO.

(I usually have vivid dreams) Feeling every aspect of what this album has to offer. Mirroring very precise what my dreams then proceed to animate. Every single note. Every single melody. Every single line. But then when i wake up... I always end up at the ending of this song. Always. I have this feeling, that this song will always have a nostalgic embracement for me.

    best song I've ever heard and likely ever will, saw them live at Vans Warped Tour in the Gorge, screamed for them to play this song, they didnt, but they played Lemon Meringue Tie and I told them I Invented Times New Romans and Open Your Eyes and Look North so that was good enough

    Now that I think about it, "evil bay" "dont got the time" yeah that does sound like Majoras Mask references. Plus getting hearts on the way and drinking blue potions is zelda stuff too
