Polaris - Dissipate

Dissipate by Polaris

From the album 'Fatalism', out now!

I never asked for this burden
I never asked for this cross that I bear on my back
But like an ulcer scratching against my tongue
I can’t leave it alone
So you can find me down at the bottom
With a stomach full of stones

I can’t outrun my fate, it follows like a shadow
I put all of my faith in a saint without a halo
But I won’t die pretending I’m not intending
To see this through until I too become invisible to you

So pull me under, be sure to leave no trace
Never wonder, I see it on your face

What do I have to do to demonstrate
The way it makes me feel and think?
I feel like I could fucking suffocate
And you would barely blink
I could suffocate and you would barely blink

So I’ll sink, searching for an answer
With a stomach full of stones
These thoughts are like a cancer
Growing in my bones

I’ve made this hell my home
Never again, sever the sin from within my soul
The darker half that makes me whole

I was only dreaming
I was never here
I was only dreaming
Of how I’ll disappear

I can’t outrun my fate, it follows like a shadow
I put all of my faith in a saint without a halo
But I won’t die pretending I’m not intending
To see this through until I too become invisible to you

(I was only dreaming)
Invisible to you
(I was never here)
But I won’t die pretending
I’m not intending to see this through
Until I too become invisible to you

I long to leave the past behind
And tear out the thorn that’s in my side

[Nyeusi]

Best song on the album. What a powerhouse man. These guys just brought it

[Xenthetic]

"I put all of my faith in a saint without a halo" is such a good line and it gives me goosebumps every time

[nathf]

This might just be the best song Polaris has ever released.

[IR-O-IN-I-IN]

Rest in peace Ryan, wish you could see how much we appreciate this album

[JFJK]

Easily one of the best songs of the album. Extremely catchy chorus, haunting riff, nuclear sized breakdown. This song is perfect.

[alexmarr]

This is one of the best polaris songs of all time, the intensity is such a game changer and really balances the album overall, this has to be in the top 5 metalcore AOTY contender for sure

"Never again, sever the sin from within my soul
The darker half that makes me whole"

i'm speechless

[brandongravitt]

*THIS* needs to be the Set list opener. Huge The Mortal Coil vibes!!!

[isweetsoup]

This song has to be my favorite Polaris song! I'm speechless

[dPokey]

I’m so sad we won’t get a guitar play through from Ryan on this :( rest in peace 🖤

[ballgaming]

Chester Bennington vibes with those opening lines. Love this song!!

[lorenzk]

Holly molly - what a song, absolutely incredible! Rest easy, Ryan Siew.

[Paradox-ortk]

This song absolutely rips, I’m so excited to see these guys live next month. I saw an interview with them last night saying they were playing this live on the tour😶

[raginRajun]

I absolutely love scrolling through the comment section and seeing all the awesome feedback they've been getting for this particular song. It genuinely brings tears to my eyes. This has to be their greatest and will remain a personal #1 for a very, very long time. The instruments and lyrics speak so many volumes to and for me.

I know they may not see this, but I fucking love Polaris so much! I hope they come to Saskatchewan someday.

Rest in Power to our guardian Above. Long Live Ryan ❤🕊

This track speaks of being stricken with a heavy load to bear in one's life that they could never prepare for. Furthermore, they can't discard this so they are forced to take it with them everywhere as it is there sentence.

[aaronsteinman]

Not to discredit the rest of the album, it’s all so damn good…

… but this is their best track. Huge W 🔥

[Owenator]

The pause before the breakdown at 3:48 then Jamie comes in with his screams with tons of reverb gave me insane goosebumps then that breakdown hits like a train MY GOD! Lol

[Bruno-vbqz]

Best song by far. This song is a balance of everything in Polaris 🔥

[geraltoftexas]

RIP Ryan. You created a gem here. We love you.

[kieranthomas]
