Lyrics:

To the flowers.

I’m staring out myself,
Scared of all I can’t feel
And I’m dancing on the edge,
Punching at the doorbell.
Try not to wake the neighbours now.

We’re all high as the gods
And as low as the demons but she’s alone.

I’m saving it for best,
Taking all the sentiment
And starting at the end,
Pain in single measures.
Try not to wake the neighbours now.

We’re all high as the gods,
And as low as the demons but she’s alone.

We’re all going
Down, down, down,
Down, down, down.
We’re all going
Down, down, down to the flowers.

I miss the optimist who told me I need nothing,
Who said the consequence was equal to the moment.
I wish for the start while I pray for the end.
Let’s take it all for granted, I know nothing’s gonna change at all.

I miss the optimist who told me I need nothing,
Who said the consequence was equal to the moment.
It’s closing time when they turn up the lights.
Let’s take it all for granted, I know nothing’s gonna change at all.
It’s too late, nothings gonna change at all.
Nothing gonna change at all.

I didn't realize till my fifth time watching that he already crashed his car in the lake and the movie theater is him watching his life flash before his eyes there are so many layers to this video. Including the burning piano which is was her passion and him burning it to get rid of the memories. Plus the opening of the video is him arriving back home from his near death experience to embrace is (I'm guessing) mother. Hence the soaked clothes. This is the most polished music video I've seen in a long time.

[blubidiblubada]

okay, everybody's talking about how great the song is, can we please acknowledge the video (!!!) which they apparently directed, edited and shot themselves. It's so freaking good

[LordBNER]

I feel so bad for people who won’t give this genre of music a chance. They’re missing out on masterpieces like this.

[collinandrews]

I’m convinced that we need songs like this to feel certain emotions.

[charliecoyle]

That actor needs his props, dude makes this whole video

In little above five minutes, this band manages to encapsulate the full spectrum of human emotion, from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy. It's a testament to their skill as artists, their ability to tap into the very essence of what it means to be human and translate it into music that speaks to the very core of our being.

[CaitKuentzel]

3 years sober, fucking grateful. This was a masterpiece

[kaiser]

To everyone, including their own stories in these comments: thank you, sincerely. Even sharing these have a great impact on helping people know they're not alone. I've been taking care of my mother for the last 2 years, through cancer, the death of my father, & now a sudden brain tumor. I'm 25, put my career on halt, & have been the most alone I've ever felt through this. It means more than I thought it would just to hear all of your stories & attitudes. & thank you to While She Sleeps for providing such an artistic conduit.

My Wife and I lost our baby back in November, the scene where they are cuddling in the hospital room bought back that pain so well and done it massive justice didn't sugarcoat it and showed how it truly feels. Thank you to both the actors and to While She Sleeps. This song is beautiful and simply amazing!!

[MetalGigs]

This shows how I feel, lost my 4 day old boy last March, nothing has felt the same since, I have a 3yr old girl who requires me everyday, keep strong, ask for help, DO NOT suffer in silence, there's always someone out there for you to make it through, YOU ARE WE!!!

[bakiorochi]

This song is more heart touching than any love movie out there.

[ChuckTBA]

I discovered this song yesterday while driving back home from my band's concert. Played it on repeat for 4 hours straight while crying over 'us'. She was sleeping in the passenger seat and I barely pulled my thoughts together while gripping the steering wheel. We've had this kind of relationship for the past 5 years... last month, she decided that she wants to move forward and be 'just friends'. Two nights ago I lost all hope; all the talks & changes couldn't fix 'us' this time, she's really serious about it. 'Just friends' feels impossible for me right now, as I still have so many feelings left for her. She was my best friend and the only one I felt comfortable sharing every thought with. Today, the only thing I'm sure about is that without her, I can't feel anything but 'down'. Tomorrow, I'll be moving back to my parents place for a while...
I only watched the music video this morning and it's exactly how I pictured 'us' on the road back home. Incredible composition, outstanding acting. Thank you While She Sleeps. Thank you Robert Peach and Anna Thornley

"in this cruel world, you're the only beautiful living thing"
SO BEAUTIFUL WSS

[Undead_Fayn]

It is an honor to be part of Sleeps artistic journey. They evolve with every record and this new one could just be their most diverse album yet. This song is beautiful and the visuals are just stunning. I really felt that one!

So happy and proud to be part of the Sleeps Society!

[RikkuChaser]

Rob Peach is such an underrated actor, the sheer emotion in this video was INSANE!

[patrickbarnes]

I work in the film industry and this has had my jaw hit the floor more than anything in years. This is like 4 feature films worth of insanely artistic shots rolled into one. I don't know whose responsible but take a fucking bow. Excuse me, the song is also incredible btw. - these guys absolutely slap live.

[lanahack]

I haven’t been this attached to a song in a long time. It’s like my soul had already heard it before.

[Fraend]

I really don't know how long it took to shoot this video, but this is totally another level for While She Sleeps! A short MOVIE. Incredible emotions in 5 minutes, so deep and amazing. Blessed to see this

[hallvcinations]

Been dealing with depression and numbness for a long time now, thank you for reminding me what it's like to feel again because I was losing hope. You'll never know how much this meant to me
