Listening to Garrett speak about anything is just purely captivating. I’ve never been more interested in what one human has to say about anything. You’re a true treasure Garrett. Love and miss you dearly brother ♥️
Man. Ever since I found out about Silent Planet, I knew Garrett was one of the best lyricists I'd ever heard. Nothing was meaningless, everything hit hard. This band saved me at one point (and I told Garrett that) and continues to do so. Can't wait to hear more about the rest of the album 💙
Garrett is the scene's best lyricist and one of the best vocalists in metalcore! I got my first tattoo themed off of the band, and it is unfinished but I cannot wait to get it finished and build upon it with the imagery of the next album!
Missed these breakdowns of the album, so happy to hear more about Trilogy. It's by far one of my favorite songs of all time next to Depths III When the noise feels so loud, Trilogy is genuinely my peace, where I can step back from all the static and focus inward. I swear be still is my mantra because of this song lmao Anyways, love you guys sm, thank you always for your art.
I have so much love and respect for these guys. It’s a beautiful thing to form your interpretation of the songs after dissecting the poetic complexities of Garrett’s songwriting and how they go hand in hand with the instrumental. It’s even more beautiful hearing from the man himself delve deeper into the meanings and see what overlaps with my interpretation, while also getting even more insight on the inspirations of specific lines and the experiences that motivated the word choice. I’m looking forward to seeing more of these for the album. Be consumed, lovers forever X
Garrett nails so much of how I have been feeling for years with my relationship to technology. I have used the internet since I was six and it was dial up. If you have not looked into mimetics I highly recommend reading into it. It helped my understand why I felt so lost in my life.
Oh yes finally. I was hoping we'd get one on the new album eventually. I have an interpeation or speculation on what it's about but still excited to combine my thoughts with Garrett's to see where they differ or are similar. Also taking into account this album was more of a collaborative effort lyrically (and musically) as well is interesting too. And that there aren't footnotes (though I'm pretty their there if you know where to look just not listed like before).
The gas station ad example! I had the same experience. It was so alarming/disturbing. Pro tip, 2nd from bottom on the right side of the screen will mute the ad. Zen.
Garrett, if you haven't already mate, go and read The Shallows by Nicholas Carr!! This explanation made me think of it the whole time. It's basically about this exact topic.
Garrett is one of (if not the) best lyricists in the scene. Can't wait to see the breakdown of my favorite album
He 100% is and it’s not even close. Might be biased, but he is, he’s just way too good.

Garrett has such a unique perspective. Incredibly powerful and poetic lyrics.

I really love these lyric walkthroughs he does and I've been patiently waiting for the Iridescent album one. So stoked 😁
Bro same…I’ve been waiting ages for this 😩
This is one of the most powerful bands ever made.
I have never felt more human being captivated and connecting with this band
Great explanation of the lyrics. It brings itself back to "Be still, and know that I am God" from Psalm 46:10
Thank you Gareth for sharing explanation, thoughts and personal experience standing behind those lyrics.

Now I’m wondering what gas station is selling happy meals…

Every decision involves loss
Disembodied Voices- is this a reference to the book by Tim Marzcenko?
Garrett is the ts elliot of the metalcore seen
I love these, but the music is too loud in my opinion :/
👌 'promo sm'
