Devin Townsend - Stagnant Lyrics






Summer's here, the sunlight greets the day
The winter's gone, there's no more rain today
And if I could, I'm sure that I would take your pain away
So ain't it funny how, after trying to find my way home
I'm in the middle now and I won't get lost again

'Cause in the winter time, when everything is grey
And in the summer time, into the month of May
I get a feeling that it's all so temporary
And that's the feeling that can take my blues away, hey-uh

Tired of the way that I'm feeling every day
And I feel it in my head, wuh-uh-uh-uh
Tired of the way that I'm feeling every day
And I feel it in my head now, my head now...

It's beautiful, the way it's meant to be
Beautiful, but it "don't do shit" for me, yeah!
So peel away a little skin and choke upon the bone
So ain't it funny how, after trying to find my way home
I'm in the middle now, and I won't get lost again

Tired of the way that I'm feeling every day
And I feel it in my head, wuh-uh-uh-uh
Tired of the way that I'm feeling every day
And I feel it in my head now, my head now

But you don't know, how or when it's gonna go

Tired of the way that I'm feeling every day
And I feel it in my head, wuh-uh-uh-uh
Tired of the way that I'm feeling every day
And I feel it in my head now, my head now

Tired of the way that I'm feeling every day
And I feel it in my head now, my head now

[Spoken in reverse:]
(Well ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we're at the end of another one
Keep slowly down the magnifying hills and keep your mind on the matter
Fly for now!)

But you don't know...

Right I'm good
OK
And my foot is so asleep
Is it?
Yep

Devin Townsend Stagnant Comments
  1. R.... H....

    I think it's the perfect song for early spring in 2008, I luv it <3

  2. J.... H....

    Dev was simply a much more interresting, in my eyes relavant, emotional, personal, and songwriting wise a much much better artist back in his skullet days and prior to that. But it´s much much better he have quit the drugs and booze. There are gems here and there. But i just don´t connect with his new music like Empath, that i find much more superficial than his old stuff. Ocean Machine f.eks was not nearly as technical as Empath or Deconstruction, but it´s way more interresting and emotional. He´s still good, but man. Terria is one of those records i grew up with so it will always mean a world more to me than his new more technically wankery stuff, and where some of it rather sucks, and some really good.

  3. f.... d....

    As I grow older, the better this album gets.

  4. R.... R....

    This song makes me feel like dancing!!!!!

  5. V.... C....

    Devin Fucking Townsend!!!

  6. I.... ....

    Devin actually said a few years ago he thinks it's a cheesy song, Whatever he says, this song helped me on many moments of my life...

    I.... ....

    He's been making way cheesier stuff in recent years, like that emo lovey-dovey Epicloud, lol

    I.... ....

    It's a good song for when you're in a depression.

    I.... ....

    Pretty sure Devin thinks everything he's done is cheesy

  7. J.... A....

    3:01 the "you don't know" part has always sounded like Neal Morse to me for some reason

  8. L.... N....

    First song of Devin Townsend I ever heard :)

  9. L.... N....

    Best way to close an album!

  10. F.... ....

    Favourite quitar solo part for me in 3:33. Its sooooooooooo epic!

  11. I.... P....

    HELP! Who knows the LYRICS of outro from 4 min. 20 sec. It sounds like:
    Oh (Tired of the feeling…)
    (…feeling… head now…)

    You don't know…

    Am I right??? Maybe you can figure out more words than me...

    I.... P....

    +RFR Films that's so interesting man, thanks for doing that that's so great! Have you uploaded the reversed version I think that would be great to hear

    I.... P....

    No I haven't. Just put the track in Audacity and reverse it. It's free.

    I.... P....

    Yeah, now I know that amazing fact about "Stagnant" outro (in reverse) - another "surprise" from Mister Townsend! He is the best!

    I.... P....

    Yeah man. When you asked the question, I listened really hard and realized it was something in reverse! I never even thought about it until you said something. The more you know.

    I.... P....

    You know I preperad 100% correct and completed lyrics of "Addicted", "Infinity", "Terria" - so you can download it from here ( http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/6vqE2WzO/file.html). But I have some trobles with his songs Depth charge, True North (back female vocals), Pixillate (whispering), Judgement (verse), Night (outro), Hide nowhere (verse), Greetings (spoken words). You can find all my questions on youtube (by the same song) or you can download all my questions from here (http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/emxXCjks/file.html). And then all his lyrics will be done with your help! Actually, it's very interesting, It's like a puzzle. He's a genius musucian and very famouse person, but I still don't understand why nobody didn't it before (especially from Canada, UK, US or Australia).... 

  12. A.... B....

    The first Devin record i heard. I never got lost again. Thank you mastermind x

  13. J.... M....

    Where's the tunning? Open C?

    J.... M....

    @JoelMetal I believe that's the tuning he said he primarily uses. There's a pair of videos of him talking about his guitar work, including the type of strings he uses and everything.

  14. W.... ....

    Feel good song of the century!

  15. D.... ....

    Such a good song - epic solo.

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

    Its really hard to not sing along during that chorus! ...Devin truly is a genius.

     What an awesome album, Im so happy I bought it all those ears ago :P

  17. F.... m....

    I miss SYL but I will not argue which is better because in the end.. IT is the mind of devin.. 

  18. H.... ....

    this only boosts my faith in islam

  19. A.... T....

    Beautiful

  20. H.... ....

    the most premium of dairy products

  21. T.... M....

    Someone suggested it as a cure for depression

  22. T.... ....

    WHY IS THERE AN MLP CONVO IN THE COMMENTS SECTION??!!?!?!?

  23. F.... J....

    Best song on "Terria" and one of Devin's best.

  24. m.... ....

    Was just watching Newton Abbott guitar cllinic and had to check out this song. Farking cool!!!

  25. D.... ....

    Well I don't think Hasbro's much better. Gabe doesn't shut down fan-made video games or make humanized spinoffs of anything.

  26. K.... R....

    hey, as long as he doesn't have any control or influence over the release date, he can be the president of the brony club for all I care lol

  27. D.... ....

    No, but he is a brony, so that's close enough, right?

  28. K.... R....

    So Newell isn't a part of the MLP series? Because I'd be damned surprised if he was... and kinda pissed.

  29. D.... ....

    Oh, everybody was comparing Hasbro to Gaben because they kept delaying the third installment. They even delayed the announcement of the original release date, which was significantly later in the year than the first two seasons started.

  30. K.... R....

    I didn't get into MLP until season 3 was starting, so by the time I got caught up, episode 4 of Season 3 was out, so I wouldn't have known that lol

  31. D.... ....

    He obviously did with Season 3.

  32. K.... R....

    Newell organizes the launch for MLP? o.o

  33. D.... ....

    I hope they fired Gabe Newell from organizing the launch.

  34. K.... R....

    there's only 13 episodes, so there's not too much to get caught up with. And episode 13 is AWESOME! (although there are people who hate it). But Season 4 will have 26 episodes.

  35. D.... ....

    I'm very far behind on S3.

  36. K.... R....

    Already have seen every episode, and really excited for Season 4!

  37. D.... ....

    Try watching My Little Pony: FIM. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that show actually has cured many people's depressions, and even saved people from suicide. Can't hurt to try, anyway.

  38. K.... R....

    I hope to feel like that soon

  39. R.... ....

    Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing was my introduction to Devin back in the 90s. I've been a fan of his ever since.

    That Wall of Sound gets me pumped. :)

  40. L.... G....

    Devin's main goal is for people to actually listen to his music, not make money. but of course, he can't distribute music to the masses without money!

    Buy his shit!

  41. K.... ....

    Strapping's a little too 'metal' for my tastes - although I listen to City VERY regularly as even my pussy ass ears can recognize the genius there. But otherwise it's really too heavy for my liking. Nothing against it though. City rocks like hell, some of Dev's best work. Thinking about giving Alien a proper spin too.

    K.... ....

    Kerfuffleinahussle have you given alien a proper spin? Honestly city is probs their heaviest so there is no reason why you couldn't stomach the others if you can stomach city

  42. R.... ....

    No Strapping Young Lad?

  43. K.... ....

    I have all his solo/DTP/DTB albums! I missed out on the chance to get the By a Thread box set though, which I'm totally bummed about..

  44. s.... ....

    Good for you. :)

  45. H.... ....

    50 brilliant songs brought me here and im happy

  46. L.... ....

    This song is absolutely gorgeous.

  47. P.... ....

    this guy is a genious . i feel bad because i can listen his art for free here. i must buy the albums. you should do that too. not for supporting him but more from respect ! it's a way u can show him that you put value on his work and apreciate it.

  48. s.... h....

    Don't give a fuck about how cheesy it is

    This is my favorite Devin song ever.

  49. S.... W....

    Dude. I pulled this album & Ocean Machine through a lot of shit with me. It was after I fucked the entire world up listening to "City" for a while. Haha!

  50. L.... ....

    Also, it is kinda funny how you are insulting someone for experiencing depression on a video of a song made by a musician who not only has admitted to suffering from depressions, but also was institutionalized between Ocean Machine and Infinity.

  51. L.... ....

    I take it you never get upset. :D

  52. A.... S....

    Try "In Vain (I wont go down again)" of Rage, then tell me.

  53. S.... C....

    This cheese fulfills your daily dairy RDA. Cheers devy.

  54. A.... Q....

    You got it buddy! Remembering how awesome everything can be.

  55. t.... ....

    Needless to say this is a masterpiece, another one from Mr. Townsend... he makes it look so simple and even easy...

  56. g.... ....

    No one said he was a cheesy artist, just the song

  57. s.... h....

    He was on something in some of his early stuff, but he's cleaned up since then and is just as amazing, if not better than he was when he made this.

    The only thing Devin needs to make music that will make anyone speechless is his own beautiful music ability.

  58. b.... c....

    man, this song gives me the chills

  59. Y.... M....

    Well said.

  60. i.... ....

    @TotalKombatArts This song is perfect for what it is, and I hear a lot of people requesting it to him ;)

  61. m.... ....

    This is my favourite song, ever.

  62. G.... ....

    I'm mother fucking speechless...
    I want the drugs he does to make music like that!

  63. R.... A....

    I think This song is perfect for what it is. i have heard a Lot of comments on how "cheesey" it is But I don't think anyone who knows Devin's work would say that he is a cheesey artist. he is incredibly eclectic and is in the process of exploring all aspects of his own creative mind. let this song stand just as it is. It's perfect. if your In the Mood for something darker then listen to Strapping.

  64. s.... ....

    Definitely some Hetfield influence here, I fucking love this man. Long live the King, long live Hevy Devy.

  65. j.... ....

    @latias009
    i think this is my favourite Devin album. the guy below could be referring to Ocean Machine, or more likely Strapping Young Lad.

  66. T.... ....

    reminds me of the band Blind Melon at the chorus. :,)

  67. R.... ....

    @tvadakia what's his best then ?

  68. M.... B....

    Devin at his second best.
