Ceremony - Turn Away The Bad Thing Lyrics






It's getting harder for me to be alright
My eyes adjusting to the dark
The momentum of all these last resorts
Built inside of me
I always believed there was a way
To get out of end times
Everything I was or said I am
Breaking inside of me

I hope you'll think of me one day
But even in my dreams
I wasn't good to you
I know I'll fall apart someday
But even in my dreams
I've always avoided you

I see a rose and feel disdain
The adoration and boredom of it
All the tired repose that it gives
Dead and meaningless
I don't wanna be bitter anymore
Bitterness is the sin
I wanna be soft and innocent
Soft as any palm

I hope you'll think of me one day
But even in my dreams
I wasn't good to you
I know I'll fall apart someday
But even in my dreams
I never trusted you

Just got into town
I passed by your house last night
No light
Don't ever come back
Don't ever come back to me, I've gone
Never
And my whole life looking for something to love
And I can't find that thing, oh no
To love

The bad thing
Please turn away the bad thing
Please, please
Please turn away the bad thing
Please, please
Please turn away the bad thing
Please, please
Please turn away the bad thing
Please, please
Please turn away the bad thing
Please turn away the bad thing
Please turn away the bad thing
Please turn away the bad thing

Ceremony Turn Away The Bad Thing Comments
  1. P.... P....

    this is much different than Morbid Angel

  2. R.... ....

    I'm all in for 360 changes but this feels very low effort. Very small detail. Very small passion.


    Good thing I can go back to the old stuff

  3. b.... d....

    Ross its abby good video

  4. D.... C....

    is this Ceremony? like Violence! Vilence! "Ceremony"

  5. D.... C....

    wow. this is classic punk. holy fuck. fuck violence! violence! I mean love violence! violence! but i also love this. holy fucking shit that etheric femenine voice... oh my god.

  6. D.... R....

    What is this shit

  7. D.... B....

    Solo le falta el bigote para ser un señor rollon

  8. M.... F....

    What the fuck has happened to Relapse?

  9. 8.... ....

    Sic transit gloria mundi.

  10. A.... O....

    I loved this, even tho is nothing like their old records, this is genius

  11. P.... A....

    WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK RELAPSE RECORDS!?! YOU USED TO BE A BADASS METAL LABEL. WTF IS THIS, THIS IS LIKE A "WANNABE ROCK' IPOD COMMERICAL.

  12. G.... 4....

    A powerful, masterfully crafted track that packs a soothing punch. Stylistically different. Full of subtle dynamics dancing on a powerhouse of a rhythm section. Love it.

  13. N.... A....

    They-The Yoga Class-Have Favored Our Undertakings

  14. T.... ....

    What is this horse shit lol

  15. 1.... B....

    lol relapse

  16. T.... G....

    Well that was disappointing

  17. A.... G....

    Pure and utter shit

  18. A.... G....

    Pure and utter shit

  19. b.... ....

    The video just doesn’t fit.

  20. D.... E....

    Just put this album in the bin with polvo’s celebrate the new dark age , bad brains into the future, and pretty much anything by shudder to think,,, way ahead of its time... the naysayers will say “ahead of its time?? It sounds like 80s new wave synth pop” and will only respond with “In the spirit world now”.

  21. M.... C....

    It"s a formidable way of a band mutation!

  22. L.... P....

    From gnarly hardcore, Negative FX covers etc to this..

    L.... P....

    I know I miss those days. Seeing them live in Toronto for their Violence Violence tour was one of the best shows I ever went to and they were the only band I went to see that night. Actually This is Hardcore was a bit better, me and my friends from Canada almost got killed by FSU cause my buddy stole from the house we were staying at in Philly. I ratted his ass out when getting interrogated. I had no clue he stole anything, but I knew he would be the only one that would steal, and he stayed at the house when we all went for breakfast. When we finally found him he forked up the stolen cash and was mad I ratted him but the people that let us stay at their house were better people and I'm not going to stick up for some shady fucker who leaves me to take the blame anyway.

  23. A.... R....

    I get a new wave of DEVO, punk rock of The Clash on this new record from them.

  24. B.... V....

    Didn't this post-punk song came out in 2000?

  25. J.... R....

    Does anyone else miss the Violence Violence days??

  26. Y.... S....

    Fucking trash

  27. K.... ....

    It sounds like raining shit

  28. M.... R....

    Calling it now, this album is where Ceremony blows up.

  29. V.... 1....

    Why youtu.be show me this video?wtf.is not my taste.... Merda...

  30. M.... A....

    Bruh I thought this was a punk song.

  31. Y.... ....

    no like but not dislike

  32. f.... ....

    Honestly, their style change doesn't feel that different than if you were an AFI fan. It's still pretty jarring though. At least AFI's style change was gradual, and made sense. Ceremony just all the sudden became an indie/The Cure influenced band.

    f.... ....

    I know after Rohnert Park it was a total flip of a switch. They had a couple songs on the Rohnert Park LP that bridged the gap but the rest was bay area hardcore at it's finest.

  33. J.... O....

    Damn hippies

  34. Y.... O....

    hipster music...shame on you Relapse. I long the times of Release recs.

  35. R.... S....

    I was the 667 like.. it's a shame this songs so damn good lol

  36. R.... M....

    Everyone in this video is so goddamn pretty.

  37. 8.... ....

    ass. Next step Avril Lavigne feature...

  38. R.... V....

    Great song, Video is retarded.

  39. P.... E....

    I guess this is better than the previous album, but still kinda lame.

    "You can go fuck yourself with than trendy shit!"

  40. K.... R....

    KOOL tune!

    K.... R....

    just heard it on your SONOS station

  41. G.... ....

    Which American apparel commercial is this?

  42. W.... C....

    This....this is relapse?

    W.... C....

    William Cutting relapses in the spirit world 😃

  43. O.... S....

    Nah, it´s like putting sugar into salt, let´s rather stick with fried cockroaches.

  44. T.... M....

    Idk how I feel about this yet... hoping the rest of the album is better
    but I will say that L Shaped Man was absolutely brilliant n a timeless masterpiece

  45. P.... P....

    this is beyond terrible

  46. A.... N....

    Umm, no thanks. They're just a bargain basement New Order cover band.

  47. E.... C....

    Love it!

  48. s.... 8....

    Im of Sick of ceremony!

  49. B.... K....

    excellent !!!!

  50. H.... ....

    Song is pretty good and I really dig both old/new Ceremony but this video is like watching a commercial for some idiotic hipster brand. Feels fake. Yuck.

  51. I.... H....

    JC PENNY® X CEREMONY, 2019 CAMPAIGN!

  52. P.... ....

    Song rules. Video rules. It feels like a COLORS showcase backed by Ceremony.

  53. b.... ....

    Song: very good. Music video: not so much.

    b.... ....

    bedtimefordemocracy it’s a great music video Mr dead Kennedy

  54. A.... B....

    Stories are true about the german tool and HGH reference to solidarity in the orient.

  55. L.... ....

    nossa que bosta mermão...

  56. l.... ....

    sick of living in america

    l.... ....

    SEE YA THEN

    l.... ....

    @The Lakers Man SICK OF H&M HYSTERIA

    l.... ....

    this looks like another pointless leftist propaganda video, millennial style

    l.... ....

    People dancing is Communist propaganda. Of course.

  57. M.... T....

    Thunder and Lightning

  58. C.... ....

    Joy Division, New Order and Black Flag.

    C.... ....

    Jd,no and Morrissey.

  59. J.... G....

    2004-2019 still my favorite band. Ross is really nice. I remember watching him and lee from trash talk play skate at rain fest. Broke my brother are mirror hahaha shit was epic.

  60. J.... ....

    Hmm...how hipster of Relapse. Ha

    J.... ....

    Hipster doesn't mean anything at this point

  61. t.... ....

    Music video sucks but good song.

  62. S.... ....

    Looks like a Katy Perry music video. Total garbage. Relapse has gone down hill over the last few years.

  63. Z.... ....

    H & M 's summer collection?

  64. H.... T....

    So here's to fucked up youth
    Here's to burning lies
    Here's to each fucking day that just passed me by
    Fuck

  65. E.... G....

    *Certificate of Authenticity*

  66. M.... M....

    I’m OBSESSED with this song. I can’t wait until August. I really hope I don’t overplay it before then!

  67. �.... �....

    Did this band make " Tyranny from Above " album?

    �.... �....

    No, this Ceremony used to play powerviolence/hardcore punk, now they play post-punk/indie

  68. C.... I....

    Love their post punk. But who was that enchanting voice in the middle?? Sounds like Whirr! Get hype...

    C.... I....

    Chelsea wolfe

  69. b.... s....

    What kind of label Relapse has become

  70. S.... ....

    If the last album was like Joy Division is this like New Order?

  71. D.... S....

    wow...I guess that whole "everything goes in cycles" thing is true.
    This is straight out of 1986.
    The band isn't hiding it AT ALL....this is 100% 80's pop worship.....in 2019.


    Get your acid washed jeans, grab a Tab Cola and your boombox and Rock Out to the RAD NEW SOUND!

  72. s.... g....

    idk this kinda reminds me of power ranger mighty morphin angel grove vibes haha love it tho

  73. S.... B....

    I love ceremony. Not so much the music but their messages are always on point

  74. j.... s....

    like it but hope they still play the old school bangers x

    j.... s....

    jasmine sidhu I’m assuming you’ve never seen them live??

  75. W.... ....

    Mas que clipe de merda hein rapaz!!
    ( o musica até que é bacaninha! )

  76. N.... R....

    I remember hearing them when they played super-fast gnarly hardcore. I'm as much a fan of post punk, goth, and new wave as I am of heavy music, but this transformation is still kinda out there. great band no matter what they play though. L-Shaped Man is a great record and this is a pretty great track as well.

  77. s.... s....

    this is upsetting at best.

  78. J.... L....

    Sounds like Public Image Limited if Johnny Rotten didn't hate women.

  79. B.... ....

    CEREMONY forever and ever and ever and ever and ever...

    B.... ....

    BuenasJuergas yesssssssss

  80. f.... ....

    What is this a fucking iPhone ad?

  81. S.... j....

    This reminds me of some 80s retro type stuff.. I like it alot.. I prefer metal, but this is something very different and I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it.. the video looks like some kind of gap commercial or something, lol.. but very cool.. I'd like to hear the rest of their album.. thanks for sharing.. cheers..

    S.... j....

    Check out Drab Majesty if you dig this band. Drab majesty is like an 80’s band like tears for fears, the cure, boy george.

  82. D.... ....

    So it's New Order worship now instead of Joy Division.

    D.... ....

    Its always been new order>joy division my dude

    D.... ....

    @Jacob Ehhh I can hear some New Order in L-Shaped Man but it's much more Joy Division inspired to my ears.

    D.... ....

    @DespisedDumbass ceremony is a song by new order

    D.... ....

    @Jake Banks Oh wow really? Thank you I never realised that!!

  83. E.... B....

    I swear when I saw the lyrics part I was hoping the the last sentence is a link "Please turn away the bad thing", what the hell is happening to relapse .....

  84. H.... p....

    Some heavy music fans can be so closed minded.. Personally I'm stoked that ceremony and primitive man can share the same label haha. Plus they used to be a Powerviolence/Hardcore band.

  85. r.... ....

    My tape is ordered and ill be buyin the cd at the store when it comes out.

  86. L.... ....

    Wow, love it. Pleasantly surprised by this latest Relapse release!

  87. s.... s....

    how THIS can be on RELAPSE??????

    s.... s....

    People act like Relapse has only ever released metal. Merzbow, Goblin, Atrax Morgue, 27, Nothing, it's nothing new.

    s.... s....

    Literally half of Relapse's roster is Synthwave these days, my dude.

  88. S.... o....

    VERY GOOD

  89. C.... G....

    Promise to support if you play "sick" at shows

    C.... G....

    They do

  90. A.... W....

    Not what I'd expect on this channel, but not unwelcome either.

  91. J.... C....

    Even L shaped man has a better new order vibe
    NOT GOOD 2/10

  92. W.... ....

    Stopped at 1 minute, this sucks. Relapse Records fucking up big time with this.

  93. C.... D....

    Made it to 1:15,proud of myself.

  94. g.... ....

    Okay, I see you!

  95. A.... J....

    Stop trying to make New Order happen. It's never gonna happen.

    A.... J....

    oh yeah New Order were never successful. Blue Monday wasn't one of the best-selling singles in UK history.

    A.... J....

    @Nicholas Romig Well that sure went over your head!

    A.... J....

    @Amir Jafari let me be the first to tell you that your attempt at sarcasm didn't carry over the internet.

  96. K.... T....

    Man these record labels will sign anyone these days.

    K.... T....

    You may not care, but this band used to be playing blistering powerviolence on their first two records. So, their background in hyper aggressive hardcore and their large following of devoted fans may be the reason that Relapse felt they were a fit. However, I was very surprised myself that this record is on this label.

    K.... T....

    @J-Luke Chesteen Thanks for the info, now I know why people are saying "Powerviolence".

    K.... T....

    @J-Luke Chesteen Just checked their album "Violence Violence" and I love it.

  97. n.... o....

    Tbh this is A LOT better than their last two records

    n.... o....

    U don't even listen the record in it's enterity and you say this shit is better than L shaped man, u a deaf person btw.

    n.... o....

    @Juvn Cvrlos no i just preferences. The l shaped man and the one before that were boring as fuck to me.

    n.... o....

    none of your business Rohnert Park?

    n.... o....

    @Edward no the two records after thst one.

  98. L.... H....

    POWER

    FUCKING

    VIOLENCE
