POLARIS - Overflow [Official Music Video]

In loving memory of Ryan Siew

Overflow is the third single from our third LP ‘FATALISM’, out now via Resist/Sharptone.

LYRICS:

I’ve been lost, alone in a crowd
Can’t remember when the silence got so loud

We believe, but what do we know?
All the things we bottle up
Will one day start to overflow

Where do I shelter when it’s raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don’t bend, I break, I can’t go on this way
It kills to hear you say
“I can’t stand to see you like this”

We took a chance, a shot in the dark
Let it echo like the rattle of a hollow heart

I thought I had everything that meant something to me
I wasn’t ready to face what I want, what I need
Now I need to escape
The grass is greener, they told me, if you wait

I feel the lifeblood freezing in my veins
The antidote is just the poison by another name

Where do I shelter when it’s raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don’t bend, I break, I can’t go on this way
It kills to hear you say
“I can’t stand to see you like this
‘Cause it’s more than I can take”

The earth is spinning much too fast for me
The air is thick and it makes me sick to breathe
I never had the clarity of mind
To recognise that time was never on my side

(I am not what I think, I am not what I feel)
I’m addicted, afflicted and I’m dying to heal, I said
I lost years to future fears
(This can’t happen again, it cannot happen again)
Now I’m fearing the worst
I’ll break my habits if they don’t break me first

But still I just can’t seem to catch my breath
And the things I love, I hold so tight
I strangle them to death

Where do I shelter when it’s raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don’t bend, I break, I can’t go on this way
It kills to hear you say
“I can’t stand to see you like this
‘Cause it’s more than I can take”

Ryan Siew Forever <3 You Are We <3

[zacharybania]

What Ryan gave to us all is not forgotten. Un-believable singles from their upcoming work.

The highs and lows never stop, wish these guys the best.

[kongsherpa]

After Ryan passed away, I feel like every polaris song is dedicated to him. Rest easy Ryan 🖤

[dbwc]

What a 3 volume time capsule of some of Ryan's best work to lead us into Fatalism. The crushing bounce of Inhumane, the soaring leads in Nightmare and graceful nuance that let Jamie put his heart and soul into Overflow. Thank you, Ryan, Thank you, Polaris. Thank you so much.

"Where do I shelter when it’s raining inside?" Damn 😢



You'll be missed, Ryan. 🙏

[OhrionReacts]

[falcoerken]

He's not dead! He is alive as long as we Remember him! ❤

[darkslayer]

The boys REFUSE to fucking miss. I know for a fact Ryan is proud of what you guys have managed to accomplish with this record.

[pancakesama]

THIS IS SOME HEAT. Ryan has left behind some of the most amazing work ever ❤️

[youcanthealwhatyoudontreveal]

"Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?" Wow. Honesty like that will score you guys a million followers. Keep writing from the heart guys 💙

[Blake.hansen]

Jamie's clean singing in the verse is amazing. Such an amazing and diverse vocalist. You rock dude! 🤘

[jaykelly_]

No man, i can't hear this song without tears and goosebumps, i still missing Ryan.

[starz]

This album is about to be on repeat for a long ass time

[melomaniac]

How will I ever listen to this album without the tears? The lyrics on this are stunning and the way Jamie delivers them with such powerful vocals really makes this track stand out. Now that we must face the future without Ryan, this song is even more meaningful. I have all the feelings about this tonight - I'm overcome with sadness and I'm also really proud of what Polaris has done here. This album is exceptional - part of a legacy that will be treasured. I can't wait to own it.

[sgtfumblesii]

Rest in Peace Ryan. In tears for your mates today. Powerful song as usual from Polaris.

[Mrcancan]

Some beloved person left us a manifest. Rest easy dude.

[TheNOBODY]

I’m crying. It’s so powerful. Everything about this song is so powerful.
R.I.P Ryan 🖤

[absolutebangersyt]

Ryan will forever be remembered as the legend he was. He was one of the best to do it. I will always be a fan and can't wait for the new album!

[carniethedat]

Holy hell...

If I wasn't already feeling everything, the very end of the breakdown sure broke me. Absolutely incredible, and I don't know what buried pit of trauma this came from... but I'm so glad it's out in the world now. Let's hope more people can appreciate music like this for the brutal stab to the heart that it really is.
