LYRICS
This is a place I know too well
Been down here a while, if you can't tell
And I have analysed and tried my best to justify
The sorrow I have brought upon myself
Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I’ll always be?
Grinding the salt into every wound
Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment?
You can’t trust me to be there for you
I thought I had this, I thought I had this all figured out
You’d think I’d learned from all the shit I fucking screamed about
When there was sun I couldn’t see for the clouds,
Still climbing the walls of this well just to dive back down,
Until I reached my rock bottom
Down to the marrow, bringing up the bad blood I’d forgotten
Is it me that’s making me sick?
Been burning both ends of the wick
Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I’ll always be?
Grinding the salt into every wound
Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment?
You can’t trust me to be there for you
I’ve got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette,
Casting a shadow, a shade over me
Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist
Your worst impressions were right about me
I could ask you to stay, if you’re feeling forgiving
I could live with the guilt, if you call this living
I could try to memorise each grain of sand
As it slips through my fingers, and falls from my hands
It took me longer than I’d care to admit
This life is only what I choose to make of it
And the only thing standing in-between happiness and myself
Was this depression I held so close to my chest
Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I’ll always be?
Grinding the salt into every wound
Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment?
You can’t trust me to be there for you
I’ve got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette,
Casting a shadow, a shade over me
Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist
Your worst impressions were right about me
Wasting a waning youth
Waiting for something to help me pull through
I never saw the sun through the clouds
I lost faith when the skies were falling down

I’m telling ya, something REAL special about Australian metalcore
Fischkimme i was talking to Jamie after one of their shows, and he basically said it was because the Australian metalcore scene is so small, there isn’t room for a band to sound like another group or be super generic if they’re gonna make it big. That made a lot of sense to me
Listen to Diamond Construct. They're doing big things in the AUS scene! Very very very good! Want to see the two bands play together
@@jareddelarosa9557 But how is it possible that I know more Australian bands than any other? I would consider the Australian scene as one of the biggest.
@@antson02 You know more GOOD Australian bands than any other. There are so many small underground bands in north America that will never be big because they're all doing the same thing. In Australia they have to all be as unique as possible. The ones you know, is pretty much all there is in Australia.
Thornhill are fuckin phenomenal too! Hope they blow up with their latest record cause those boys deserve it. Really special band
God these lyrics hit hard today. Rip Ryan. You will be greatly missed.
😢
Way too hard, indeed. RIP.
So sad
Incredible band. Just wait until you hear the rest of the album!
We love you Sharptone Recoreds. Any updates on We Came As Romans????
@@zanderj9335 yup, I'm interested as well. WCAR is my favorite band of all time! Even though I love so many bands, but these boys will always have a special place in my heart.
@@user-el5kq1je4s they are my third favorite band but yeah I love anything that they put out.

@Jae Ricci same
that shot of Jamie screaming in front of the burning painting is so sick
the entire video is fucking amazing. Perfect metaphor for what the song is about
Iconic as fuck
420 likes. Noice 🚬
ikr
The portrayal of the entire ending is fucking amazing honestly.
These lyrics hit home.
22 year old me needed this song.
Proud to say 30 year old me doesn't.
Love for all of you who still do ♥️
27 year old me needs this.
@@squeegeeking2944 embrace it with everything you have 🖤
Weird im 22 and im going thru more than anyone should have to endure
@@swornout5790 chin up brother!
@@swornout5790 dont try to have a "my pain is greater than yours" competition. You have no idea what other people have gone through
RIP Ryan Siew. From CZcams covers of modern metalcore artists to being a super great modern metalcore songwriter and guitar player yourself, you were tremendously special to the world. We will miss you, dear friend.
"I could live with the guilt, if you call this living."
That line got me!
Right that’s a tough one forsure
i found my paints and let them kill me
Nice lucid reference lol
Lmao I was gonna say this!!! 😂👏
Im dead omg hahahahaha
blegh!
NICE
''And the only thing standing in-between happiness and myself

slaps harder than a truck...
@@ahmadmalikfajar nah fam that goes to Caliban
I love how what the person featured in the video destroys all the work he has done, not seeing at all how beautiful it actually is. Just how depression and the demons in your head cast a shadow over everything in your life, even the good things .. This song had such a strong message, can't wait for more.. All the love from Germany!
solltest mal die band dream on dreamer abchecken :)
der typ im video ist zach britt. sänger und gitarrist der band dream on dreamer und sänger der band young lions. zach ist super
I think the weight of his decision is that he knows the work is beautiful , because the work is inspired by the woman he keeps painting. But the beauty he created under her inspiration now surrounds him, and makes him unable to move on. So he tries to paint her terribly, blindly obscures it throwing paint and mess to try and forget, and burns the whole thing down so he can move on.
It's a depressing and relatable duality, to have to let go of something beautiful so you can stop the pain.
"And the only thing standing in between happiness and myself is this depression I hold so close to my chest."
Damn.
Polaris's strongest point is that they're all honestly so talented in the band that you never feel like there's a disconnect in any parts of the song. The way the two vocalists go back and forth is amazing and it doesn't feel like your usual unclean/clean structure. And even though the song structure might be 'simple', boy, they riff everything so fucking well with a nice touch a technicality yet melodic enough and you just find yourself banging your head without even knowing why. And don't even get me started with the lyrics. The song is amazing.
Well put 👌🏻
Luffy Joke. After seeing them live I second this🖤
They’re all so incredibly talented, and if you see them live the passion they put into their performances shows how much the music means to them.
Last time I saw them live I was focused on Dan the drummer the whole time and quite honestly was left in awe with how much passion he puts into his playing.
Same with Hellons, I just hope these boys can stay together
Dude that’s the best description of Polaris I’ve ever heard. Each aspect of the band is absolutely shredworthy. There’s no specific blueprint to Polaris’ songs but whatever the hell they put together is a fucking slapper
This the shit that makes me proud to be Australian 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Amen Demogram 🖤
throw another shrimp on the barbie, m8
Amen brother!
Cause you shit at rugby #justsaying
Australia has too much metal talent for anyone to handle haha 🤘🏻
For me. this band is on the same level of intensity as Architects
the cleans favor Polaris
Because they literally copy them
@@remylebeau_ how so ?I mean mius the fact they have the same pace because of being in the same genre
@@swornout5790 the band is boring as shit, they DIRECTLY rip off architects, but every song is the same formula thats been done 10101010010 times
@@remylebeau_ mate all music is the fucking same... look at hip hop or rap they all sounds the fucking same it all comes down the personal preference
I just realized that the actor is actually singer of Dream On Dreamer and it makes me love both bands even more. Man this is such a tsunami of emotions, I love it so damn much
Yep that is Zack
Man what an awesome return! Can't wait for more
Andrew Baena Hell yeah dude. They’re guys are sick!
Got to see them live with wage war, little over a month ago it was awesome.

Holy shit, Jamie has really improved on his cleans! Such a sick tune!
Fr! They were always rly good imo but holy shit he just killed it
It's SINGING, NOT 'CLEANS'
@@voodoo300 bruh we call them cleans who cares
He's always been sick at cleans, out of the two of them his cleans are easily better both live and in the studio, find any live version of The Remedy and his pitch is easily better I'm surprised he just doesn't sing both cleans and screams
@@voodoo300 lmfao you're really going to be that immature. If you want to get technical they're called clean vocals because the vocalist isn't putting any of his own distortion into the notes, it's okay to learn
Rest in peace, Ryan. Your talent will be remembered for generations.
Polaris just hits differently, I feel like this song was for me.

2:24 I love that part. Gives me chills.
Never thought the lead singer’s cleans would be so charming.
Fun fact: Actor Zach Britt is from another awesome metalcore band: Dream on Dreamer
And no one is talking about that! Dream On Dreamer is just good as Polaris, but in their own way!
This is the first time in my life where I've had the oppourtnity to watch a band I love grow, from first EP to second album and on. I'm proper fucking chuffed after watching that.
Dude same, feels like we're along for the journey
Dude for real I’ve been watching Ryan since his CZcams channel cover days it’s crazy
relate. I found their song Summit in 2012 and have been following them since. It's insane how far they've come.
I got into them in 2015/16 when they released TG&TG, I have a handwritten note from them on my wall they put in some merch I bought.
I’ve loved them ever since. So humble, talented and just an amazing group of dudes.
its been a while since lyrics have hit me this hard top job boys
Rest In Peace Ryan, you were a incredible guitarist and will be deeply missed.
Your music means more to us than you will ever know.
this band is everything i ever wanted from metalcore..feelings..love..hate..sadness..chugs..grooves..melodic parts..love you guys!
Jesus Christ, this songs hits so close to home. This band better blow even more - so proud to be Australian!
RIP Ryan, we will miss you deeply
“Your worst impressions were right about me” and with the fire in back god damn I got goosebumps
RIP Ryan Siew, 💔
Lyrics hit home. Hard. I need help out of this depression, but I don't want help. I need this song more than ever. Thank you Polaris, thank you.
It’s a mindfuck man. Wish you the best.
I spilled my paints against the earth
just to see the world in colour
Years later, This is still up there with one of my favourite metalcore tracks of all time. Polaris raised the bar with this track and I think it’s going to be hard to top
This was fucking awesome. Started off really different and then jumped right into it and it was the Polaris we all know and love just with added elements
This brings me back to a time when I thought my depression was normal, like happiness felt foreign and weird to me. Almost as if I couldn't function properly without being depressed. It still kinda lingers today, but instead of clinging to the pain, I burn it as fuel for growth and progress.
The lead guitar tonality change at 2:46 is so good.
Wow, the lyrics are literally what I'm goung thru right now. I could not be more miserable or depressed. This band sounds like they'll be able to help me deal with today.
Definitely helps with the coping process to listen to the proper music.
Hope u are doing better now after 1 whole year
😣😭😭😭
"It took me longer than i care to admit, my life is only what i choose to make of it. And the only thing standing in between happiness, and myself was this depression i held so close to my chest" Powerful fucking words. Words many many people, myself included, need to hear. You guys are amazing and send a powerful message about mental health on your latest album. I can't wait to see you guys when you're touring next. This song live, will be a much needed therapy session.
🤣
Jamie’s vocals are on another level, this mans a maniac.
Ì have failed to find a sorry band from Australia yet and I'm 40 now..... Australia is the birthplace of epic Metal.... thank u to all the Ausie bands out there.... I live for your music
Fuck it still makes me emotional even hearing it for the 110th time.
cool seeing zach britt in the video!!! banger!!!!
Mikov Nasanovski wondered if anyone else would recognise him.
Was just wondering if it was him or not!
i almost screamed out of joy
Dream on, Dreamer hype
David Steel and his other band, young lions 😁🤘🏻
This band has recently become one of my favorites, dont get me wrong, this song is sick and I enjoy it thoroughly, it is definitely on the softer side of their work. The mortal coil was brutal, heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time, this song is just heartbreaking and beautiful. Love it, can't wait to hear more music from you guys.
They're trying to appeal or a bigger audience with he softness of this song, but I know they won't drop that heaviness either, they perfectly fuses melody and heavines together
Dillanger Kane
I definitely agree. Still excited for new music from them regardless
check out there first 2 eps.
I have, they both are good heavy material
Comment of truth.
Jamie's vocals fit this song perfectly, lyrics mean so much more when they're conveyed this well. Brilliant song start to finish
Just crying myself to sleep again with this on replay...
his fucking movements when he says "you'd think id learn from all the shit I fucking screamed about" just hits me in the feels.
This I love. It's very much like the duality.. being tender or more even toned but the rage that builds up and pours out.. that is relatable..
The artwork also is very high quality.. the sound has great depth .. layers of different things but it all makes logic in its own way..
Song perfectly describes me, remember the first time finding it (2 yrs ago) and was obsessed, my thoughts being screamed and sung in a song.
ive heard this song literally hundreds of time, and it never fails to give me chills.
Anyone else hear this for the first time and it was exactly what you needed...masochist and the meaning of it defines my past year...if not more. Thank you Polaris. Learnt a new word today also ha. 🤘
Here while the video's still unlisted 🤘🔥Amazing songs as always!
Wow I always thought the lyric was “am I in love with all my enemies?” And thought it was the sickest line ever and turns out it got even sicker UGH
Got introduced to Polaris this year and I loved their music so much.
Got my shit mixed up bad, had some depressive episodes, tried to deal with them and this song was the most repeated of the year. With half an hour to go for 2020, I enjoy a pint of Guinness, this song and my loneliness thanks to this virus that I am isolated away from family and friends. What a year! Thanks, Polaris. I'll make sure to find you somewhere in Europe once this virus is gone.
It will get better.
Holy cow it does get better actually. A year later, still half an hour to go, still drinking beer. Still having all those issues but I'm finally working towards getting rid of them for good.
I swear I'll make this an annual thing. To whom it may concern, keep on fighting. Hell, I know I will for years to come.
Damn, what a year. Losing Ryan almost felt like losing an old friend. Polaris got me through some hard times.
For anyone struggling, as stated above, it does get better. Let's go for another run around the sun!
This band became my absolute favorite with The Mortal Coil. This song just pushes that even further. IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE
Keen af to be in the crowd for this at UNIFY 🔥
fuckin' oath can't wait
Same, if i don't die in the pit for Knocked Loose before i see these legends
The pit for them was INCREDIBLE. They fucking kill it live
2 vocalist always hits me real hard... emotions get real intense esp if the band is this goooooddd
REST IN POWER RYAN. POLARIS FOREVER
Best part of this song
0:00 - 4:17
4:18 was shit, agreed

If you dislike this song, you’re not a clown, you’re the whole circus.
Ok boomer
Its generic and boring as fuck
@@remylebeau_ I have to agree... I'm not sure where they think they're going with this, but it is below baseline for them, they can do much better!
Rob White I think this one is more about the lyrics and a personal journey with mental illness than anything.
@@mrsbeard5225 Fair enough, but for the sentiment that you've expressed, I'm sure I can appreciate that from simply reading the lyrics... my criticism is towards what I have seen, heard and consequently felt as a result of that experience. The theme of the song isn't an instant win (for me) simply because it talks about subjects I can empathise with, in fact, as a guitar player myself, I'm usually taking issue with the overall musical delivery before anything else, hence my criticism of it. It's simply not to my taste - musically - regardless of "the message" behind it. I hope that explains my stance a little better and outlines that I'm not just voicing my critique to be "awkward". It's just my opinion. Thanks for responding though, I appreciate what you wrote :-)
so glad I discovered this band...by happenstance of course by looking at other bands and these guys popped up...now I have another kick ass metalcore band to listen to.
Dat breakdown
22 to 24 year old me needs this song rn.
I feel like a masochist that's always helping people. Putting them first and myself second. But in the end, I don't ask for anything in return. I don't know if the misery is haunting me, or if I just got used to it being there for so long.
Massive!! I'm way too hyped for this album!
Ps: 3:47 that ass slapping bass

Riff city!
The way Jamie physically moves by throwing his arms around and also his facial expression at 1:11. I don't normally pay attention to things like that but i really felt that bit. It was super expressive and really punched home the line, "You’d think I’d learned from all the shit I fucking screamed about".
...you know, an acoustic version of this track would do us all some good here in 2020!! 🤘
That would be AMAZING!
So eventually he discovered the meaning of creation through destruction. This song is flawless.
I can't believe I have to type this comment, but it has become so common, I feel compelled.
Thank you for not changing your sound, while still experimenting with new ideas in your music.
I'm in love with this bands music. Jamie's screams and the guitars @ 2:25-2:58 remind me of a continuation of the end of crooked path
@Andrew Nibirunnaki so glad cause that album is a masterpiece. Definitely set a high bar for themselves there haha
YES BOIIIISSS, WHAT A FKN BANGER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
FCKK YES BOYS.. that was so epic.. phone data going to get flogged streaming youtube to listen to this on repeat at work.. worth it 😅👍
One of the best building songs I've heard in a long time!
I agree!!!
This is crazy. I've just been listening to this band and rediscovered all of their older stuff and here's a new single
I could live with the guilt, if you call this living 🔥🔥🔥
Man...Metalcore just stays winning. So many lyrical masterpieces in this genre that I felt was written about me, for me, as everyone else in the comments.
Rest in paradise Ryan❤🕊️
It reminds of a cross between the Amity affliction and of mice & men. I love it
I'm not sure if the band will ever see this, but I really need to say it. This song literally and I mean literally saved my life. After 10 years of being a prisoner to meth I reached the point where I was ready to end it all. I had found a patch of particularly poisonous mushrooms so i could pass it off as an accident, i was ready to go. The day i had in mind was Sunday and the Saturday night before, this band hosted rage. I hadn't heard them before but I enjoyed their song selection and then they played this. Firstly, the simple act of asking the question "am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment, you can't trust me to be there for you....." that hit me like a ton of bricks. Then the gorgeous poetry in the bridge that ends with the line "the only thing standing in between happiness, and myself is this depression I hold so close to my chest..." instantly I burst into tears. It felt like you guys had been watching me and wrote this to let me know I'm not alone. I'm choking up even recalling this but since then I've had so much joy from going through the whole polaris catalogue. Mortal coil is my fav, but the point is, I, my girlfriend and any possible children I might have want to say thank you for the gift of your art that saved me by telling me I was the builder of my prison. Sober now and loving every day.
Congrats man. Fell in love with these guys recently and it's probably the first time I ever had the feeling of wanting to reach out, and let them know this music is life changing in the right hands. You just did it for me :)
Beautiful story, I hope you're okay
The way he screams, "LIVING LIKE A MASOCHIST" gets me so hyped every time.
I really love the soft intro in this one
Saw them for the first time a few months back and they are forever one of my favorite bands to see live. The reason, Jamie had the biggest smile and you could just see how much he fuckin loves doing this. You could feel his enjoyment burst through you with every song. They are amazing and will climb above all others
R.I.P. Ryan Siew ❤
Just randomly found out about these guys and I'm really glad. So much good music being made lately!
First time hearing this song, but I've been living it for awhile now.
First song I've ever listened to from the band. Impressed.
Can we talk about how good the mix is on this? holy forking shirtballs
THIS IS MASSIVE. So excited for the next album I literally am checking the socials and youtube weekly to see if a single dropped yet, you boys didn’t disappoint 🤙
A few years ago I got totally burnt out of metal. Then this album dropped. And I was burnt out of metal except this album. These lyrics, the music, the chorus, everything is so beautiful.
This isn't metal, its core. Core is punk. Real metal is death metal, thrash, etc. This is fake pussy shit.
wow, a core nazi. Thought I’d never see it again after 2016. But if you could refer back to my comment, I was not referring to the band itself as metal-I was referring to the genera itself as an overall standpoint. I’d state the case of facts, but given that you define the 80’s as a prominent definition of the style I know that it would be arguing with a wall
POLARIS TAKE A BOW....these guys are on another level, blew the roof off when touring with architects, lucky I get to see them 3 times in a week, with two of my other absolute favourites in northlane and silent planet, the tour is going to be special, I already feel it \m/
The amount of chills I got from this song......
Recently discovered these guys after some people I know recommended me them and their new album for a while. Yeah, I'm a fan now, for sure!
This is my theme song.
This song gets blasted as loud as I can get it every single time and yes I do scream at the top my lungs and yes I know you see me and no I don't care 🤣❤💯
These guys are simply fucking awesome, so is the album... cant get enough.. speaks out to me in so many ways, lyrics, vocals, instrumentally... counting the days to see them play live.
My god , the lyrics to this song really hit home ! Great song but the lyrics take it to a whole next level !!!
Two observations from someone who doesn't know much about Polaris: 1. The vocalist is super hype. His emotion and body language add a lot of personality to the band. 2. How the fuck do you come up with such a melodic chorus? An acoustic version of this would be a #1 radio hit.
Dude. I swear I heard the chorus melody somewhere. But I can’t think of the song. Or do you think it’s just like your classic metal/punk rock melody but with their own twist? Idk I feel like it’s from a very popular song. But I just can’t put my finger on it.
This has become a daily listen since I really dived into the lyrics, which I’m starting to do now (found them with Nightmare). Even better live
