Lyrics
The Exorcism
You were here at seven
Banging my head against the wall
To the rhythm of some old hymn
That I still recall
When I was eleven
you told me I’m like the silver moon
As I ran on empty not a day to soon
Your tone changed after
To hunger strikes and hurricanes
Scarlet summers, growing pains
I’d follow you all the same
Oh I kissed you sickly
Smoking out sadness in your room
T’ was the first time ever I thought
Of expelling you
Now I’m gonna stay up I’m gonna stay afloat
With or without you
Stay away, be gone
You wandered briefly
Left me crying tears of joy
And for a minute
I knew peace
It was beautiful
and so boring
I know I’ll exorcize you
Twice each decade from now on
And though I might sedate you
You will never be gone
Oh, you’ll never be gone
You’ll never be, never be
I’m gonna stay up I’m gonna stay afloat
With or without you, with or without you now
Stay Away Be Gone - Hudba
Love it ❤ Hauntingly beautiful ❤️🔥
You girls are about to take the world by storm this year!
YOU are hauntingly beautiful! ❤️🥰
Couldn't agree more.
@@CharlotteWesselsOfficial Both of you are!
Thanks so much for joining the live premiere. The Exorcism is yours now!
😁😁😁😁😁😁
❤️🔥😍🎉
Yeeeeeaaaaah!!! Muchas gracias por compartirnos, es un rolón!!! Saludos desde México 🤘😁❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤
WoW
Divine
What on earth do they put on the Dutch water to produce so many world class female rock singers!!
I love everything about this! 🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤
Agreed
Charlotte is a star
Loved how hard this went in contrast to the more dreamlike softer parts. Really enjoy how so many women in metal experiment with distortion and texture - it adds a new dimension to narrative and emotional expression.
I'm not sure how to explain it, but her voice has changed. It sounds much richer, with more texture and depth. Maybe she’s finally free (?). I can't wait to hear what Charlotte has in store for us! Love this song 🖤
If we're just being logical: SHE writes the songs, now, so she knows where her limits are and how to tune the entire thing to her voice.
I'm a singer as well and the songs I write are much, much more attuned to my capabilities than those my bandmate, a multi-instrumentalist but absolutely not a singer, writes.
Can't wait until The Exorcism drops! I will be here in the live chat watching the premiere with you!
💙✨
Waiting right beside you!!!
Please come to Serbia! 😊
👀🥳❤️❤️
Thank you for all new inspiring music to blast while writing!!!!
Yo... this is probably the single best solo song I've ever heard from you. Got a lot of Dreadnought and Alcest vibes from this. So cool to see the old Delain members in here too! Miss you guys and so glad to see you're still putting out killer music 🤘🤘
Ben
What an unbelievable statement of a song. What is it with the Netherlands, every other week another metall godess puts out outstanding art. I am gonna be so broke .. but very happy
Wow! Familiar faces and a great sound! Love the imagery too!
Charlotte has been exploring a very interesting experimental sound in recent years. I found the song very promising. The filmography and photography are beautiful. The looks too. Congratulations!
Wow....Were all so happy you find the track......"promising".....🤨
Holy motherf*** sh**. I'm a big fan of Charlotte since the early days of Delain and so I was eager on her new project. But I never expected something like this! It blew me abolutely away. Can't wairt for more now.
F*king SOUNDGASM!!! ❤❤❤
This to me is really really good stuff: the intense music, the screams (!), the wonderfully made video, the overall beauty, not to mention the great acting. Nothing about it must have been easy, you can tell there's dedication and hard work behind it. Such gift for the art!
I was so excited when I heard the screams! I'm very curious to see if she continues to develop her harsh vocals.
This buttered my bread and watered my crops
I'm speechless, awesomeness
What an amazing song. Charlotte Wessels will reborn with The OBSESSION album. so dark vibes.. wow.
Wow! This was sooo much better than I dared to hope. I have been missing heavy Charlotte
Really impressed with this heavy sound contrasting with the lighter parts. Beautiful and emotional, another masterpiece!
The esotheric beauty of this masterpiece is breathtaking, emotional artistery on the highest level
Wow! The degree of coolness is overwhelming! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album.
Wow, at the beginning everything was so quiet... I wasn't expecting this heavy chorus with growls and powerful guitar... I love it ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm completely in love with this song ❤ Charlotte Wessels is a unique singer, she's really authentic, I love it.
OMG 🥰 02:18 Previous Delain members
I missed hearing this voice. Thank you!
Oooooooh Mother is SERVING!
OMG OMG OMG OMG I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS........i Cannot WAIT for the rest of the album!! this is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
I've enjoyed Charlotte's post-Delain music. Even joined the patreon for a little while. But this her first solo work that I personally feel is truly fantastic. It's pretty dark, but what a powerful, haunting song and what a cool vocals and visuals.
That is, plain and simple, an absolutely great song. I am hooked ..., again!
Me too!
I’m so happy! Love seeing and hearing Timo, Otto, and Joey. Sophia is wonderful. The harsh vocals are amazing. Can’t wait to see and hear more, Charlotte!!!
although as a mere patron, glad to have been a part of this. art at its finest.
Thanks for being a patron!
Becoming a DIEHARD FAN - love the darkness, love the grawl, love the hair, love this beautiful woman ❤🔥🤘🏼
Very very artistic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️😍
I get goosebumps every time I hear it, so good 🤍🖤
I have no words, on how much this kicks ass. My words will do it no justice. Must share with all my friends. ❤
Wow! I don't think I've ever heard you do screaming vocals before. You executed it so well in this song! Great job!!! Never stop rockin' Charlotte!!!
If you’ve heard Delains Burning Bridges she did the growls on that one as well, on a few other recordings too. She’s diverse, what can I say 🤷🏽♀️😉
Yeah I agree. She's done growling but this is the first time I've heard screaming from her, and she is very good at it
Damn. I love hearing you growl. I've had this song on repeat for thirty minutes. Love it.
Absolutely amazing! I ❤everything about it
Wow! I'm speechless so incredible this song is, omg! Been a fan of Charlotte since Delains debut album, so happy that she's still creating innovative art like this! Cannot wait for the album!!! Charlotte ❤
this is how talent looks like
Fantastic song, fantastic video, what an energy, the vocals, the lyrics, the music. I totally love it. Congratulations on this amazing amazing song
Thank you Charlotte for beeing metal again

she never left metal, she was just experimenting with other sides! and that did her a lot of good! This is brilliant
This woman is simply amazing, this is so creative and unique. And the melody is AWESOME.
That. Was. AWESOME! I can't wait for this album, your evolution and experimentation is constantly and consistently extraordinary!
All the videos are like a suspense movie. I love your solo career!!!!
absolutely innsane, progressive, death, djent, melodic,.. and everything conected in armony. Really impresive¡¡
This is awesome! Charlotte keeps delivering quality music at a fast rate. This is heavy af and I love it .I like the long hair too (reminiscent of the Sirens video).
Same model wig dyed black 🙃
Holy Shit! This is amazing! I loved every bit of it! ❤❤❤❤
Wow, I've just watched and listened to The Exorcism for the 1st time.. I'm almost speechless! Charlotte's vocals are so powerful & strong, this is definitely a different sound, I can't compliment the song enough to do it justice. Fantastic.. so creative & original.. thankyou for making such wonderful music ❤🎶 I've now watched the video too so many times!! I love the video.. so much expression , feeling & emotion. So nice to see the band too, and their roles in this visual wonder is just fantastic. Charlotte I hope you are so proud. ❤️❤️
I’m still here!😍😍😍❤
This song is entirely extraordinary. Plain and simple.
What a sensational clip! Congratulations to everyone, I loved both the song and the video. I'm waiting for the album!
What a song and what a video....WOW! Cangrats to all involved
This is refreshingly awesome.
What a pleasant suprise find this was!! very high quality song, video!! looking forward for the release!
Charlotte, you are so talented, your music is versatile in every way and pretty mature, catchy and interesting, from the instrumentals, vocal harmonies, lyrics, and CD & single artworks all driven primarly by you and your crew I imagine, your work deserves a lot more recognition, I wish you the best with this new era called “The Obsession” ❤️
Heavy, atmospheric, awesome. Now we're rocking. Seriously looking forward to more of this🤘
Absolutely sensational track! It's great to hear Charlotte again with a harder sound. I think Delain fans must be excited, just like me 😁
And the roar in the middle of the song? Come on 💪 If the whole album is carried in this style, then we have a hell of a lot to look forward to 😎🤘
I don't like the song.
Why should Delain fans be excited ? Don't see it
@@lauri6862 Nobody asked anyone to be excited did they? She’s very clearly moved leaps and bounds from where she was with Delain 🤷🏽♀️
@@margiesusan5022 it was just a reply but thanks for your clarification
@@lauri6862meant in the sense that those fans who liked Charlotte in Delain and then were sad that she left will be satisfied with this project as it is similar to the harder rock work we were used to when she was in Delain but that's my opinion a hundred people a hundred tastes
This is amazing. Love the different tonalities in the song, from soft to something more heavy. I really love the way you have been experimenting the last years!
Charly, you and the guys are so amazing!!! 😍😍❤️ I'm so excited to listen the full album!
Welcome back queen, this is fucking amazing ❤
That was awesome!!!
Jaaa, ik dacht al TImo en Otto te herkennen.
Je blijft geweldig , zeker met deze heren er bij.
This is something new. And I like it.
i'm impressed. Wish Charlotte the best!
Perfectly!!! I play it over and over again...🤩
That was fresh and fun! Playful vocals, great musical contrasts and the buildup to the chorus was epic.
And it wouldn't be a complete exorcism without some screams!
Great job! 🔥🔥🔥
Charlotte is charming, the song is amazing ❤❤❤
That was freaking heavy and i love it.. The growls are perfect in their place... Oh my God i feel so proud to be a fan of yours... Just amaaazing amazing amaaaaazing... Charlotte, dear, you Liberate things in me that i am unaware of ❤❤❤❤❤
That was some exorcism
I can feel this shit. Absolutely killer.
Very very good job!!!
INCREDIBLE JOB! And those screams. WOW .
This is such an interesting creativity. it's a beautiful, surprising & modern track
Amazing stuff right here!!!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Awesome song!
The contrast of the parts is chilling and excellent. Great song.
Outstanding vocals
Great to hear everyone is still on top form! Awesome ending to this track. So many great memories of seeing you all live in various countries. Keep up the great songwriting and come back to the UK again soon! Despite the Brexit fiasco many of us are still Europeans to the core.
SUPERB song and video! The voice and instruments are perfectly linked to each other, great work by guitar and drums. Very cinematic video, Charlotte and the boys in top form!
Totally outstanding, pure magic.... Trancendental🙏🙏
Just as the growls/screams are layered delicately within the other vocal lines, there is a very subtle use of a whammy-like guitar line.
All to often, I/we/us-metal-types will use a harsher element as a jump-scare type of effect. Charlotte and her musicians are crafting a finely woven overall effect, from soaring vocal pads to chunky riffs to sounds that come from the animal voice in us all.
Nicely done.
Wow! I love the song and the lyrics even more!! ❤️🔥
Amazing work Charlotte. As if you could've done anything but. The growls though. Did NOT see that coming.
Beautiful sound
Happy Birthday, dear Charlotte. Never late than never 😊❤🎉
Wow, I’m in love with this song! Amazing!
Great great song!!! Love the vocals and the sound... amazing aesthetics.... really looking forward for the entire album. Congrats Charlotte.. you are an amazing artist
Can't find words to describe how amazing this piece of art is...❤❤❤
Charlotte ya es otro nivel, su música es cada vez mejor!
Brilliant work. Fantastic.
Love the video, Charlotte! Also love Joey's performance! Very true to the original SOTM!

I'm so glad I discovered this song! ☺ I'm completely taken by it and I cringe with delight every time I hear it. This is absolutely glorious! ❤
Thank you for this Charlotte. Kippenvel!!
Damn. First time hearing this band and this track kicks ASS! ❤
Awesome song. Best post Delain Charlotte W. tune. Can't wait for the whole album!
