about

The title and the first portion of lyrics are a reference to the Belgian philosopher Raoul Vaneigem and his book "The Revolution of Everyday Life". Much the same way this record opens with "hope prolongs the torments of man" so too does it conclude with "hope is the leash of submission". The second half of the lyrics are influenced by an article I read that described a cardboard box containing memories of a loved one in a very abstract manner, as if the box in itself was something of beauty because of what was contained inside of it. This is one of several tracks to feature a thematic riff structure throughout the album and also reprises a tweaked version of the lead work from 'In the Desert'

lyrics

Between zero and one lies an infinity.
I slipped between the numbers and fell through the cracks.
Death is the tool to wield against the infinite.
Death and change, for they are one and the same.
Two faces of the same blade, brandished against the constant.
A method - dissection and illumination -
against the static greatness of the vast universe.
Death will bring a screeching cosmic halt.
Death will bring hope.

Between zero and one lies an infinity.
I slipped between the numbers and fell through the cracks.

There is poetry inside of a cardboard box.
Documents and photos of strangers with familiar faces,
Eyes that gleam and glow bright with pride,
Strange and bold audacity.
The things we hide away, be it accidental or intentional,
they wait for us to stumble and fall.

Hope is the leash of submission.

The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey
