Polaris - Consume (Official Music Video)

LYRICS

Before we knew what we were missing
Before we felt desire’s sting
We were content with what we had
And never wanted for anything
We know it’s futile to compare
Our culture was the culprit, we were taken unaware
Manifest the weakness, a self-fulfilling prophecy
Undermining every insecurity
It’s a fear growing deeper when no one’s around
Like a nagging aching sore
The devil’s in the detail, the truth inconsequential
The idle mind is scrutinised, robbed of its potential in time
Begging for redemption, pleading for solutions
We know we never should have had this cross to bear
Our culture was the culprit, we were taken unaware
We’ve been led to think we needed more
(Resenting who we are)
Only to find that we were better off before
(Before we bought what we were sold, before we tried to fit the mould)
We’ve been chasing false perfection
Searching in the wrong direction
This is the crux of our corruption
Drawn into social seduction
Manifest the weakness, a self-fulfilling prophecy
Undermining every insecurity
To fan the flame, to watch your pride burn away
To reinforce the fear that taught us that we’re never good enough
We’ve been chasing false perfection
Searching in the wrong direction
This is the crux of our corruption
Drawn into social seduction

You will be remembered as a legend.

[motosospicy]

RIP to one of the chillest shredders this genre offered. ❤

[psycold]

This is one of those bands where you can tell every member is on the exact same page with the type of music they are making.

[ashutoshthapa]

You will always be remembered through your beautiful music Ryan.

Rest in peace, I will see you on the other side 🙏

[TAL]

Bands actually insane, one of the best to come out in recent years

[ThePlotInMatt]

I broke my damn tv on that breakdown.

I’m not kidding, it was a bit of an older tv and the sound completely blew out on it.


Getting a new one soon anyway. Worth it.

[blakefincher]

Dudes screams are some of, if not the most crisp and clear I think I've ever heard. This band is straight nasty

[aaronh]

Polaris, if you ever see this comment....I am the pickiest person on the planet when it comes to music that actually changes my chemical composition, and your band is the first in over a decade that blew me the fuck away. Australia, and the world, are lucky to be alive at the same time as your music. Thank you.

[patriotstreammedia]

I feel sorry for the masses. They are sleeping on one of the best bands on the metal scene right now

[predwards]

I need a Polaris, Architects, Make Them Suffer and Currents tour STAT!

[UnhallowedEssence]

Polaris can do no wrong, only thing they need is more material to listen to

[corekiddd]

I've only started getting into this band, and just discovered that guitarist has died. Thank you for great music, Ryan❤

[kylechen]

Wow, this band knows how to write badass breakdowns. All of them are so addictive, all of them.

[HitmanRooster]

This has to be one of the most underrated tracks off one of the most underrated albums released, ever. Fuckin hell.

[julienassier]

One of the best released of 2017 all the songs of Mortal Coil are unbelievable

[nathanpickering]
