Holding Absence - Perish Lyrics
It was your palms and your feet, and every single thing between
We were an easy thing to do - I enthused over you
But melancholia... Insomnia... Saudade - They had me
It's hard to forget I'm looking back on a time, when every beat in your heart was beating for mine
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me
And when I'm better you can set me free
It's safe to say that you were mine - A songbird to a morning sunrise
How I miss my spotless mind, I lost it to the twilight
Much like our love, a songbird always flies without regret
And even after everything, we perished when the sun set
You had the world at your feet and you kicked it back at me
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me
And when I'm better you can set me free
Every blind spot, and every nicety
I learned about your heart... I watched them perish before me

Holding Absence Perish Comments
Ok, Kmac, you better don't disappoint me
If Novelists and Polaris had intimate relations, this would be the result.
This band deserves a hell of lot more views. Thanks to Spotfiy Crash Course playlist I found this band. This song and You are Everything are my fav.
Joderrr, esta canción me produce multiorgasmos auditivos. Qué banda tan brutal. Me encanta <3

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
I absolutely love this band with all the music they’ve done is astonishing
Strong Architects "Daybreaker" vibesssss. I love this.
This reminds me of my first time listening to Shields current album. But this is only a song. Like time, the valuator, like fucking everything. This is life.
Dem cleans...oh man that and the intersmentals is why this song is pure goodness
Okay, more people need to hear this.
3:54 "would love to plough you hard"
Those lyrics hit hard asf
This band is awesome. They go so hard and have so much passion. I love it.
Dame it these guys are just getting better and better with every single video they have done I’m so glad I found you guys ❤️
True Art!!
Probably the first new rock band to impress me since 2012
Production amazing. Vocals amazing. Song amazing.
The most original band.
Falling with style brought me here
His voice
Sounds a little Emarosa Johnnyish
I love the monochrome aesthetic 🖤
Another great song 🤘
beautiful.
In love with the visuals as much as the song, maybe more!
One hell of a band!
🤘🔥
Dirty fuckin dangles boys
beautiful...😍
OMG, I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT VOICE, YAAAAAAAAAAS
why is justin bieber recommended hard pass
The thing I love about Holding Absence is with every song they release, they only get better and better. They’re seriously haven’t released a song that I have not enjoyed and this might be their best one ❤️
It's Increíble!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is so generic and tasteless i don't see this type of band last very long
Troll detected
Too spicy for you my friend 👨🍳
Wow you must have more fans
SOOO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!
Beautiful 🤘🌮🙏
It´s the first time I hear a song from this band.
GOOD SHIT HOLY F*CK! I love the aggressive sound of the guitars, the hammering snare drums and the vocalist has an incredible voice range. I think that a lot of other good songs will be released soon, I´ll keep my eyes on you ;)
Just maybe as a little remark: Maybe the drums are a bit to dominant in the song (well I am a drummer too, I really like the drums :D). Maybe it´s your style but I would suggest to mix the drums a bit quieter (if it´s the right way to say it, unfortunately I am not a music technican).
Keep on guys, I am happy that I found you \m/
DaDo “quieter drums”
This song is pure ❤
I see, Like a Shadow sounds little bit difference from older song which probably cause of changing members. For this one honestly If you guys read this, please bring back more of your older element like this song did. It's what got me into the band in the first place.
A beautiful hollow church-like ambient sound thats drown deep in the mix somehow you coudn't even tell which piece are being played but all this feels so emotional and freshy never get bored
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE UPCOMING ALBUM!
Fucking. Gods.
МЛЯ ЭТО БОМБА ПЛЮС СТО К АТМОСФЕРЕ ЖДУ АЛЬБОМ
Eeeee, Architects style :3
This band is incredible but I'm having a hard time figuring out what genre(s) they belong in? So I can find other bands that are similar? I'm kind of lowkey rediscovering my music taste
I think its Melodic Post-Hardcore
Best album of 2019. I’m calling it now. Holding absence is my new dad. I’m calling my dad to tell him he’s fired.
Love u so much, great song
Finally the albums been announced!!
If you want to know how to make any song a masterpiece, ask Holding Absence.
seen these guys 2x before, once at Slamdunk festival in the south and they where utterly incredible. second time was when they where supporting acts for As It Is during the great depression tour at there final venue in London and again they where amazing> He went to stand outside during the trashboat set and my friends dad went for a smoke and had a conversation with him and he was the sweetest guy ever apparently. I hope I get to see these guys live again because they are awesome <3
beautiful
Once again!! Ever since I discovered you guys every song you have released is better than the last!!! You guys really help me through my life right now!!! Thank you. Love from Chicago Il
😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏🎧

come to montreallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Just incredible. There is so much good music in this genre right now but this is somehow so refreshing and new. Very glad I found this band this year can't wait for the new album.
Wait... I wasn’t over Like A Shadow and now this?!
Fantastic song, but does anyone else hear a hiccup in the song around 3:55? It sounds like the audio warbles out the vocals for a split second.
Yeah, I noticed it too. It's a little odd
It doesn't seem to be there on the studio version on Spotify
@no chill nadine It's also on the iTunes version. rip
I don't hear it
So sad so good
Hit like before I even heard the song
Super Super Super Super Super
A work of art as always. Never fail to impress 🖤
Lots of deep emotion in this one
Shit...this is great
Could be a candidate for my personal AOTY 2019 along with WSS.
Impressed with how the band kept material flowing seamlessly, even after multiple changes of guitarist. Instrumentation here is powerful and they tend to stay away from the overused chord progressions. Lucas' voice is a wonderful focal point, and he's probably the most consistent live in the genre
I just discovered that band and was going to ask bout live performance. Now I must see them live. Thanks
I really liked Like a Shadow!
But this.. idk how to feel.
The instrumentals are great, but the vocals are a bit flat and lackluster on this one..
flat and lackluster?
Ok, not the vocals themselves but the production.
I get what you saying. vocal are way too little low
killin it as usual
This is incredible. Can’t wait for the whole album 🖤
I haven't made it 10 seconds in and I've got chills
absolutely love the visuals 😍 and the song obviously
Absolutely flawless.. who else preordered the very second they announced the album, an low key can’t wait any longer
God i love Lucas's voice
This is art. I'm so grateful to have discovered you guys. <3
Devil and the deep blue sea? Architects reference?
It’s actually a Thrice reference, I imagine the Architects lyric is a Thrice reference too
Both 😏
Lucas's vocals are so haunting and beautiful. This band can do no wrong.
Sharp Tone? not Dreambound?
They're moving from Dreambound years ago after since Dream of Me release a couple months awhile
2019 start strong! Wow! Give me chills!
Love this!
Holly shit he said a portuguese word !!!! XD
Can't wait to see you guys at Camden, Underworld. Easily my favourite band along with Casey but with them departing, you guys are gonna have to fill the void (which you most definitely will). Such talent, incredible musicians <3
Incredible. Holding Absence is taking over in 2019.
I can't wait for listen new album from this sick band!
Beautiful…
Lucus.. <3 Man, you guys just keep delivering!!
Fuckin love their black and white theme!!!
Lucas back with his angel voice!!! Can't wait for the album!!!
my faves, can’t wait to see you again 💘
Surely new Loathe next
Still on repeat❤️
i love this band with all my heart holy shit 🖤
Never heard of this band before & i had to listen to it about 3 times before really getting it. Kinda reminds me of Deftones, not necessarily musically or lyrically, but just the way a lot of Deftones songs have moments that seem like the singer is singing a completely different tune/song than what the music is playing, but then it all coalesces & connects the moment the chorus begins. It's like 2 moons orbiting the same planet at different speeds, but paced in a way that they'll always fall into line & create an eclipse when they're over the exact same place in the world.
I'm not sure how high you were when you wrote that, but 100% spot on 👍🏼
@Aaron Panesar i was eating a sub sandwich with 3 Vicodin hidden in it, does that count?
@Nameless I was having a sub sandwich as I replied and yes that very much counts. Wouldnt say Deftones, bit this sonehow has more of an Alexisonfire Watch Out! feel to it and is more like No Transitory pt 2 ... 15 years after the original
you actually summarized their style pretty convincingly i would say.
i discovered them this year and noticed the slight dichotomy between the singer and the instrumentals immediately and thought to myself that this element only accentuates the emotions even more and that's what makes them unique.
totally agree, this band reminds me so much of Deftones in the way that they surpass all forms of genre to create beautiful and diverse sounding music. great mix of melody and distortion, singing and screaming.
Stop. I can't wear jeans any tighter!
lololol
Visuals are always incredible
this is gonna be quite the debut album, damn
loving everything you guys are putting out!
oh this is my new favorite song :3 of holding absence <3 just perfect
