Circa Survive - The Amulet Lyrics






Have you kissed the ground
In service of the needless
Forgotten face
Found tucked away
And vacuum black
This ghost has been with you
All along

My voice is lost, inherently violent
We already made our casket stand
Trust when you're dead
You wanted it so bad
That you didn't see how fucked it was
All the pulses were a line
Anesthetize you waste away
In the city you wept a grave
Decay

Drilled to the chest
The amulet receives our
Forgotten face
And in its place
The mirror scar
Has grown
And lost its feel long ago

My voice is lost, inherently violent
We already made our casket stand
Trust when you're dead
You wanted it so bad
That you didn't see how fucked it was
All the pulses were a line
Anesthetize you waste away
In the city you wept a grave
Decay

You disrupt the phase
We can speak in opposites
Intersected hands decay
(You're always on your knees on time, always on your way out)
The mirror starts to fade
We out wait the revenant
(You're always on your knees on time, always on your way out)
Intersected eyes
Decay

  4. S.... ....

    How the fuck did this not break a million views? blasphemy

  5. c.... w....

    i miss this type of genre. brings me back when it felt like im searching for meaning of something i don't know

  6. M.... P....

    I wanna make out with a bear during the breakdown

  7. S.... ....

    The Pendent

  8. �.... �....

  11. y.... b....

    Holy fuck AG does it again been listening non-stop for a year. Such mesmerizing instrumentals mixed with the insane vocals. Circa don't ever stop playing I live for your tunes!!! Lyrics are too relatable at times.

  12. c.... b....

    anyone have tabs?

  13. y.... b....

    I want this song inside me 😏

  14. R.... D....

    Real love

  15. J.... B....

    I like this music vid, but I really wish they timed the fireworks with the music. Wouldn’t buy so much better.

  16. M.... ....

    The Amulet is not just a song. It's a way of life.

  17. j.... e....

    this has got to be recorded in Pennsylvania.

  18. J.... R....

    Him and Jonny Craig would be a perfect collaboration.

  19. M.... M....

    They still making music!?!!! Wow.

  20. D.... B....

    It is really hard to say that this is my least favorite song on the album when I love every song on the album including the two late releases and this song. I love this song but I felt the need to iterate that I love it a little less than the others.

  21. k.... b....

    I always wonder if Anthony is on subs.
    I'm sure some of you know what I mean....

    I know it's a weird and unnecessary thing to wonder,
    it's none of my business...

    but for someone who has had/is having similar issues he has had, maybe even identical...((?))
    it's something I can't help but wonder...

    🤔

    k.... b....

    James Joyce that's precisely why I wonder if he takes Suboxone or any other Buprenorphine containing medicine (i.e.: a partial agonist, not full agonist)...

    I know that he is clean...

    some people don't consider the above mentioned medication to be something that would classify as "not clean".
    opioids are difficult to come back from. at times, a little assistance is necessary.
    and for someone who had a high tolerance, being on subs wouldn't provide a "high", it would instead stabilize, normalize, maintain, and correct the life of an addict...

    sorry, I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, heh...
    just wanted to give a full clarification of why I said what I said...
    hope that makes sense...

    =)

    k.... b....

    Dude I'm an ex junkie. Being on subs is not clean no matter how you try to justify it

    k.... b....

    James Joyce I agree. but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of people *do* feel as if they are "clean" while on subs.
    and my only question was if Anthony is maybe one of those people? you can't claim to know his outlook on that particular subject, nor can I.

    but I'm sure you can also admit, subs do save lives... there are a lot of people out there who, let's face it, can't face any day without "something"...
    personally, I hate subs... and not a day goes by that I don't wish I had a few blues to wake up to, then more, etc... etc... it sucks, heh.
    but that's no longer possible... eh well, I'm getting off track... but yea, it's a battle, and for some people subs help to aid in the fight.
    especially considering that not everyone can escape it and be 💯 opioid-free...

    k.... b....

    James Joyce and dude, I just want to say thanks for having this conversation with me... I needed this back-and-forth today... that might sound weird, but it's cool...

    k.... b....

    @kinetic blues all good brother. And yes subs definitely save lives, me included, but unfortunately they can also prevent true recovery in some. I hope you and Anthony can stay completely off. I know how hard it can be. Stay strong my friend

  22. A.... R....

    Different sound from Saosin. Anthony is really amazing.

  23. a.... ....

    July, 2019 and I can’t stop listening this beautiful song. (One of the best Circa Survive song).

  24. m.... f....

    This video makes me feel like...this is what humans are suppose to do. Dope!

  25. K.... ....

    Happy 4th of July everyone.

  26. f.... ....

    Circa / Saosin songs are potential OP and ED theme song for a dark fantasy show.

  27. M.... M....

    It’s hard for a band to make consistently good music and these guys kill it every time 😭💕

  28. O.... L....

    Saosin?

  29. J.... 2....

    Yo Anthony, it's Justin, from stephanies, what's good bro?

  30. J.... S....

    1:26 looks like he is holding a glowing weiner

  31. E.... B....

    Post Nola show and I’m hearing just the highs right now as my ears are Popped! Still loving the sway and surprised I can’t get enough as my watch says I head banged 4.15 miles. Good show.

  32. M.... W....

    Amazing song from the most amazing band ever concieved.

  33. G.... ....

    >Song called "The Amulet"
    >Starts off talking about a crown

    Seems legit.

  34. S.... ....

    Damn Dustin Prior can sing

  35. B.... L....

    Just saw them perform this song on an episode of the baeble block party had to search to find this song.

  36. B.... ....

    Does ANYBODY know what anthony is screaming during the build up to the end of the song??? Its not on the vinyl, not on genius, I can not determine what he is saying and its drivin me crazy. Please and thank you

    B.... ....

    The mirror starts to fade
    We out wait the revenant
    Intersected eyes
    Decay

    B.... ....

    Thats not it. Its before the ending part of the song. He's screaming it but its just not clear enough to make out.

    B.... ....

    @Bmeyers627 If its around 3:26 or so, I think he's saying "You disrupt the phase
    We can speak in opposites.
    Intersected hands decay, Intersected eyes" kind of choppy on repeat until he actually comes in with the verse around the 4 min mark. Its hard to make out because its more or less background screaming, plus its kind of faint.

  37. M.... G....

    This video symbolizes the destruction of the United States

  38. M.... E....

    i was walking to work one morning a few days after this album came out. i was hooked on dope and speed . . . just getting by. i remember walking across the highway to get to the mall where my job was. at that time in my life especially, i felt a hollowness inside myself that i knew was there that i kept trying to stuff away. i imagined walking in front of a car as it sped through the green light. this song was playing, and i just kept on walking to work because the sound of the song made me feel as though i wasn't alone in how i felt. im now sober over 14 months.

  39. A.... W....

    I wish Kellin Quinn could make music as melodic, and cool as this. J.S.

    A.... W....

    After the 3rd album of SWS I thought they would go melodic like this. They had songs like "Who are you now" "Satellites" "Sorry". Kellin had the perfect voice for this type of post hardcore style.

  40. s.... W....

    They're getting a little Mars Volta on this track

  41. M.... P....

    holy fuck that guitar solo

  42. Z.... F....

    Have you kissed the ground
    In service of the needless
    Forgotten face
    Found tucked away
    And vacuum black
    This ghost has been with you
    All along
    My voice is lost, inherently violent

    Trust when you're dead
    You wanted it so bad

    In the city you wept a grave

    Drilled to the chest
    The amulet receives our
    Forgotten face
    And in its place
    The mirror scar
    Has grown

    You wanted…

  43. A.... B....

    Beautiful song ❤️

  44. B.... E....

    Amazing track! Gave me goosebumps the first time I heard this one. Love this as much as "Friends All Gone." Mad passion in this song!!

  45. t.... t....

    I've never left a comment on a Circa video.

  46. B.... T....

    I can listen to circa survive’s music over a million times and still be moved to tears.

  47. M.... B....

    Why dislike?

  48. M.... J....

    Ok so I came to a theory when I was high watching this, what about the fire works represent a better future we could have, or something that make it worth it, that's gives us that since of comfort and better choices we could make. But because of our fear, ego, ignorance, etc we don't turn around to see them. At the end Anthony faces the fireworks, representing that he is trying to see the good things in life (the fireworks in the background) but the keeps being ignorant etc and decided to turn around meaning. And that's the meaning of the conviction inside us and having to deal with ourselves.

  49. M.... A....

    Happy New 2019, I'm receiving the year with this song...

    Beautifully

  50. M.... N....

    Vim pelo ta na capa..
    Que banda incrível!
    Brazil!!!

  51. G.... C....

    vim pelo Tá Na Capa

  52. S.... a....

    Anthony Green, with fireworks behind him, laying down some epic vocals. Does it get any better?

  53. M.... H....

    I lost my memory and found this song again..... this song is so beautiful......🖤

  54. S.... M....

    On Letting Go's album ambience was so bold!

  55. S.... R....

    Did anyone get both chills and Tears during this?

  56. S.... S....

    Anthony green makes basic shirts look great.

  57. S.... H....

    0:23 seeing Anthony genuinely smile, knowing the years of pain that are in all of his lyrics....so great to see that there’s still a small fire of hope. Such an inspiration. Wonderful how someone’s struggles can be used to benefit others through the creativity and seemingly hopelessness, gives other that vital shred of hope to keep going. Beautiful song.

  58. A.... K....

    Beautifully produced video...... I just think the bits with Anthony just kinda fucking around with 4th of July toys is silly and subtracts from the video.

  59. N.... M....

    I think you saved a lot of money and still made a dope video

  60. B.... L....

    I listen to this band more than any other band! Circa for life!!

  61. L.... W....

    feelz&cheelz

  62. D.... M....

    My voice is lost, inherently violent..

  63. C.... R....

    Fcking amazing

  64. g.... s....

    I've grown just as your music has <3

  65. M.... N....

    ♥♥♥♥

  66. C.... T....

    I'm wondering how they filmed this - it looks like it's in slow motion, but his mouthing of the words are spot on. Do they film it with the song playing at 1.5x speed, and then slow it down in post-production? I love it!

  67. L.... W....

    aaaaaaAAAAaaAaAAaaaa!!! <3 *•*
    O.o ughhhhhhHHHHhhholyfknshet🤤

  68. M.... ....

    This coming November Ill be seeing them In VIP and let me say, Ive been following these guys since 2005 lol shiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!

  69. l.... p....

    I believe I said this once before... But this song makes me feel like I have taken 3 Vicodin while in a warm bath after drinking 3 shots of jack single barrel and.3 mg of Phenibut... Oh my god this song is so fucking PERFECT!!!!!

  70. B.... ....

    i'm sitting here, 27 years old. i started listening to you guys in 2005 when Juturna came out... I was 14. It's been quite a ride. Thank you for still going.

    B.... ....

    Braxnond what's up family. Homies have come so far, i can't believe we've gotten older together, but here we are. We are the spark to for the show to begin

    B.... ....

    Braxnond literally me.. 13 years and Still got them on repeat while I cruise through adulthood. 27? Nah I’m still 14-17 reliving Juturna and On Letting Go

    B.... ....

    still their two best pieces of work, with blue sky noise closely following.

    B.... ....

    Im 26 and remember him in saosin and the sounds of animals fighting, I'm new to circa

  71. P.... ....

    very emo

  72. B.... P....

    Best artist poetically since pink floyd. I love it!!! I love circa and all their albums. Such a beautiful angelic voice

  73. R.... M....

    This song is like when you return to a place from your childhood. No matter how much you want it to be like it was it just isn't anymore.

  74. n.... ....

    YOU DISRUPT THE PHAAASE

  75. A.... 4....

    Such a beautiful and moving song

  76. L.... ....

    Not to get super political, but could this song be about a vet returning home? His whole life he was told that military was the way the to go. Then he comes home. He sees the graves of others that have served. His voice is inherently violent because of what he has been trained for, what he has seen. The video shows fireworks as any ceremony would have. However he hasn't adjusted yet. If you paired this with "The Most Dangerous Comercials" it almost fits. Just a thought. I could be waaaaay off. I love Anthony and all the musical bliss he has given me!

  77. D.... G....

    This video makes me think of True Detective Season 2.

  78. T.... C....

    If only the production quality of the music video matched the production quality of the song.... it'd be amazing. Not throwing shade, just some constructive criticism.

  79. M.... S....

    I love this song but the video doesn't seem to fit the mood it conveys. I imagined it to be set in a winter landscape or a calm before the storm scenario but that's just me I guess

  80. J.... I....

    What y'all kids know 'bout this 😂💀😂
    Anthony is STILL making great music. My inner 16 year old past self is in utter joy rn.

  81. T.... i....

    whoever writes the lyrics for the drop down box needs a slap

  82. J.... ....

    Heres how I'd rank The Circa Survive albums
    6. Violent Waves
    5. Juturna
    4. Decensus
    3. Blue Sky Noise
    2. On Letting Go
    1. The Amulet

  83. L.... A....

    ♡♡♡

  84. B.... K....

    I've been down with circa since the demos but I think the bass player interchanges all the bass lines. Still love it 😂😂😂

  85. C.... K....

    no sound like Circa

  86. x.... ....

    Interesting technique for the video. Had Anthony lip sync or sing over the song at 2x speed and recorded it at 2x higher FPS. Then slowed it down along with the song and his lips are still in time with the lyrics, but everything else is in slow motion. 2x the video for natural speed!

  87. i.... d....

    lets be honest, the very first time i listened to circa survive, its really hard to accept, since their music totally different from the mainstream rock band at that time, the only thing i know is green was the vocal for saosin, and he has such a great voice.
    the longer i follow this band, its become.. what should i say.. its unique, their distinct sound, i mean, which other band you can think of to produce such sounds with 2 set of electric guitar. maybe there are others, but for damn sure i know theyre probably the first one to do that. unlike some usual music, which usually the instrument serve as the background sound to support the vocal. these guys.. can actually make it feels like, the instrument sing along with the vocal. its molded.
    i cant even imagine how much thinking it takes to create music such as this.. the process mustve take a load of brainstorming.

  88. N.... N....

    Holy shit, the singer is a boy

  89. M.... ....

    Awesome song Green. Love your work.

  90. J.... S....

    Man CS always makes me feel a certain kinda way. Those vocals are some of the best ever.

  91. J.... R....

    Thirteen days clean of alcohol, this song sounds amazing
