LYRICS
There is an incredulousness
That accompanies my depressed existence
It asks how on earth I am getting through this
So how on earth am I getting through this?
The question repeats and repeats
I stare blankly in disbelief
How am I standing?
How am I alive?
How am I making it seem like it's fine?
The question repeats and repeats
Staring blankly in disbelief
At pictures of me
And I wonder, who is this?
I don't recognise that smile
How is it so convincing?
I don't recognise that life
Inside it feels like I am dying
It's weird to know I wasn't happy
That's just how I made it seem
An illusion of positivity

I will never live up to these lies
I will never be worth your time

I don't feel joy
I just fake it
I don't feel hope
I just fake it
I don't feel love
I just fake it
I don't feel real
Nothing is sacred

I couldn't give two shits about what genre this band represents, because this is some of the most original and interesting shit I have heard in a long while. Last band that struck me like this was Zeal & Ardor, which is obviously very different style, but the originality is on par.

[chadrandazzo]

One of my favourite songs and albums of the year. Lyrics cut so deep and personally. Thank you for raising awareness on mental health struggles, especially depression and how we can all relate and know our suffering is together and not alone.

Grande Fernando Diniz... técnico do Fluminense, técnico da Seleção Brasileira e baterista de metal.

Some bands are important for the light they shine on heavy music.
Some bands are important for moving music forward.
And some bands are important because they choose to say shit that needs to be said.
Thank you for being one of those bands ❤️

[alperomeresin]

The best clip and song I've come across recently. This work needs to reach a lot of people. metal-like fast-paced and emotional at the same time. good luck SVALBARD.

[Trohawkk]

Almost has a Gaerea vibe. I'm so digging this. SVALBARD 🤘💀

[czanderrr]

The melodicism in this song reminds me of video game music in the best way possible

[randoman]

Tell me why this song has me crying right now? Such a good song!

[necrodex]

What a year for Metal. It's taken me way too long to discover your band, awesome song.

[maximeprometheas]

I was already in love with this song and listening to it on repeat, but now that I paid attention to the band shirts that the Svalbard folks are wearing in this video and noticed the guy wearing the Harakiri for the Sky shirt - I just love the folks in this band even more!

[alphaenemyplus]

I feel like this is one of the most important bands right now, and they should be huge.

[philmora]

I saw them 2 weeks ago, I love them even more now. They are even better in live... I didn't know it was possible...

[HoriaBlanda]

Honestly one of the best songs. Hits like an epic slipknot or korn song

[_whitecatfullgrown]

Love the last minute of songs. Beauty instrument

[haufe]

I have depressions since 2010. The Lyrics are on point. And my neck....it hurts \m/

[ReprogrammedToHate]

Helmet, Cattle Decapitation and Harakiri For The Sky shirts!

[pablogarciaramos]

The latest album is the real deal!! What a discovery!!

[tuukkafalck]

Hey guys!! It was awesome to see you wednesday at The Culture House !!! I loved every moment. Really, i dont know what IT IS with you guys but your sound just hits me deep inside, even spilt a tear or two and wondered what is this and where it comes from. Probably its not just your sound.. somehow i feel you guys are real and true. I wish i had a moment to talk with you more. Thank you for being there, I wish bigger stages to Keep what you do alive and make it greater!!! ❤❤❤

[Muckrackerz]

The drum parts are so fucking crisp and awesome. Really carries the forward momentum and vibe of the song. And the mastering is also amazing.

[MikkoKalavainen]

This song has gotten so very under my skin in the last few weeks that I don't even have words. Other than "Thank you. Thank you so very much" <3
