Reflections of violent shadows follow me for life.
Never gave into foolishness but suddenly you’re wrong.
What you want, I can’t offer; even now, on this throne.
Set a course for a new life where each day’s another disaster.
Now we’re forced to reveal it for ourselves.

It’s not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (a path that’s always been).
Save a life at what cost? Now we’re on a track we’ve all forgotten.

We’re counting down.
The further we descend now, we tangle the web.
Compounding our torn existence.
Sick and twisted, drowning in darkened thoughts of a life we’re all born to squander.
Slow now, the hate sets on like a father scorns desponded sons.

If there is any way out, we’ll find it.

It’s not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (a path that’s always been).
Save a life at what cost? Now we’re on a track we’ve all forgotten (complacency).

It’s not hard to get lost.

It’s not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (a path that’s always been).
Save a life at what cost? Now we’re on a track we’ve all forgotten (extinction).

The way I’d seen it, we were in control;
But it’s just not the way this works.
It’s not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar.
A path that’s always been.
Take a bow for the long forgotten.

Chris is indeed a wise man writing such riffs

[jordankitan]

Currents and Invent animate are GOD tier metalcore bands.

[irizaga]

Brian's vocals keep getting better. Amazing song, amazing album.

[saradel]

Currents’ lyrics always hit me too close to home. i’m just so happy we exist at the same time and I can listen to their music 🖤

[sytheopath]

Honestly can't believe how much better this band keeps getting. Freaking unreal!!

[JFJK]

Listened to the album about 10 times now and this song might be my favorite. The vocals, riffs, breakdowns and the solo that comes in towards the end is just bananas. Wow.

[BlueLiner]

I honestly don't understand how Chris can write legit top tier music for both Currents AND Shadow of Intent. Dude is a mad scientist 👨‍🔬. He must be writing riffs all day everyday. Chris, your a mad lad! And that solo at 2:14... it doesn't overstay it's welcome with unnecessary shred and every note has it's purpose. Those are alway's the best solo's and show's signs of a mature guitarist that know's what he is doing. It does it's job and that's to be the melodic cherry on top of this ear candy... chefs kiss. 👨‍🍳🎸

My grandma passed away last month and yesterday was her service. This hits so hard, thank you guys for staying on top and continuously putting out bangers. Crying but also lost in the depths of your music 🤘🏼

[unicestwiacznoworodkow]

I still can't wrap my head around the first riff. It's so amazing and i love it

[pavlosarvanitis]

That album is something else damn 11/10 for sure

[dlhn]

"the classes separate watching as the guillotine swings"

[mostafaaiman]

Perfect vocalist
Perfect riff
Perfect leads
Perfect drummer
Welcome to CURRENTS

[seankellerman]

This album has some of the best riffs I’ve ever heard

[nickwait]

Currents are absolutely phenomenal. Best in metalcore right now along with Invent Animate. We are so damn spoiled holy crap

[bob-oviq]

That’s one of the most original and catchiest riffs ever

[brisasdelmar]

this song is out of this world... specially that opening, it really enthralls

[forrestwaves]

i can't wait, there's always something special about a new album release from Currents.

[nolankuffner]

Oh, and that solo was PERFECTLY integrated.
Comes in seamlessly with the driving drum and bass and fades into a nice soft break.

[arun]

Probably one of the best singles Currents has ever released, such a beautiful track with some very meaningful/haunting/impactful lyrics. Loved the album! Thank you Currents! Never stop making music, have a blessed touring cycle!

[DrkMatter]

The fact I love this, being a Metalhead of 30+ years(i'm old :) is testament of good song writing and ingenuitity
