Despised Icon - Oval Shaped Incisions Lyrics






Estranged
The bliss of a young man smoothly slivered in an instant
Obscured memories puncture through an opaque blindfold

Eyelids carved swiftly with oval shaped incisions
A breach in one self's fortitude
reveals a radiant smile struggling to resurface

Nostalgia plays its snivelling violin
I bleed pristine tears

Recollections of the son I once was
Stabbed my past with oxidized scissors and turned away

Awake, to salvage what is left before it dies away
An oath destined to be forgotten
Strong words are nothing more than heartfelt clichés

The times have changed and so have I
Childhood dreams reduced to pale aspirations

Familiar faces have shed their skin,
Spawning a newfound identity
A never ending pursuit of distinctiveness as blurred strenuous bonds in its path

Awake, to salvage what is left before it dies away
An oath destined to be forgotten
Strong words are nothing more than heartfelt clichés

    @MigelMeUp haha whatever man

  16. m.... ....

    @lambofwrath95 'I'm so high and mighty coz I went to uni'? How am I being high and mighty? Actually, don't answer that, honestly can't be fucked talking to a 15 year old about music and sound engineering. I have a right to talk about my knowledge in that field of music.
    I hate the fact that you think generic is good. Ugh.

  17. l.... ....

    @MigelMeUp right man
    in that case you didnt need to be like "im so high an mighty coz i went to uni" im just saying that it sounds good even though its generic

  18. m.... ....

    @lambofwrath95 I'm saying that this band is very generic in their particular genre of music, and I was just stating the fact that it had a bad mix. Get over it.

  19. l.... ....

    @MigelMeUp whatever man
    its better than most other deathcore albums
    and if you dont like it then dont comment and dont listen to it again!
    karnivool are great no doubt about it, and obviously there going to be better sounding that this band as they sound COMPLETELY different and are different styles...

    and the average person doesnt go to uni to study that and look at that, most comments dont say "man this is recorded badly" so dont worry about it

  20. m.... ....

    @lambofwrath95 have you gone to Melbourne Uni under the inspiration of Tool, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, Karnivool, Deftones, and many other bands for a course in Sound Engineering? I doubt it. I know my music, 'dude'. I know my metal, this is just noise, it's extremely generic, and doesn't differentiate from any other deathcore band whatsoever.

  21. l.... ....

    @MigelMeUp um dude... have u heard the last minute?
    its the best breakdown i recon
    punchy as hell

    and the vocals are metal vocals mate, there not supposed to me like rod stewart or sting or mcartney style vocals in a huge expensive studio...
    and for a metal album this is probally the best recording for a budget (and by metal i mean like deathcore stuff which isnt as well known...)

  22. l.... ....

    @infernuz1231 Canada
