Leprous - Alleviate Lyrics






When I'm far from home
I feel blurry
Where my weight is gone
There is nothing
Whenever I go wrong
I hear the same old song
Voices from below
I fear it never goes away

All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith
All I could do in the end was wait
United with my fears
I'll alleviate

The loop goes on and on
Until my mind is gone
Gone in circles
The barricades are strong
It's been that all along
Have to accept it
The tower can't be torn
Before the cape is worn
Losing control
(It's the only way of living)

All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith
All I could do in the end was wait
United with my fears
I'll alleviate

All I could do was wait
Laying down with my faith
All I could do was wait
Now I'll alleviate

All I could do was wait
Laying down with my faith

All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith

  1. M.... Q....

    This is the second song by them I've listened to and I don't hear a single drop of prog. Not sure how they got in that category.

  2. B.... M....

    Hell yes!!!

  3. T.... G....

    I love every song they create.

  11. C.... C....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

  12. W.... O....

    It's not that I wouldn't like Leprous' newer stuff, it's just that I like their earlier stuff better (especially Tall Poppy Syndrome and Bilateral).

  13. M.... C....

    The best music of Leprous!

  14. M.... C....

    A melhor banda que quase ninguém conhece do mundo!

  15. A.... S....

    This shit sucks it's not metal this is fucking coldplay

  16. C.... p....

    Why does this remind me of a car commercial or an aftershave one lol

  17. t.... ....

    Discovered Tommy Karevik and Seventh Wonder before. Now Einar and Leprous. What a band and vocalist. Now i can listen to Seventh Wonder for happy vibe, disney esque songs and Leprous for mellow, sad songs.

  18. B.... ....

    Its so surreal to visually experience a viking man with such a strong neck sing in such an agile way. Its very pretty and very bizarre to my brain. I love Leprous, all of it

    B.... ....

    How do you think his neck GOT that strong? hahah

  19. H.... ....

    Now "I Lose Hope" mv please

  20. y.... y....

    Alleviate is one the best songs that I listened, it is describe perfectly my life now. There is no prog metal or rock, but it is beautiful and special for me. Neither all Leprous fans hate Alleviate. :)

  21. K.... ....

    Will we one day stop caring about genres and enjoy great songs and albums for what they are and not for what we think they should be? This album is amazing.

  22. G.... F....

    nice effort... g

  23. M.... G....

    Leprous for Norway's Eurovision 2020 entry. Would watch.

  24. D.... ....

    What is with people calling this "pop" music?

  25. B.... P....

    Great song is a great song. No matter what genre. Be open minded and enjoy.

  26. A.... F....

    When you get emotional listening to a song ♥ Amazing

  27. A.... F....

    Beautiful

  28. A.... B....

    ¡ One of the best songs of the year, for sure !

  29. T.... B....

    I wanna see Leprous enter Eurovision with this song!

  30. C.... ....

    Bellow and Alleviate, songs with a lot of "Millenial Whoop" Detected, anyway... good songs

  31. N.... ....

    The last third of this song is like that Eurovision song you want to win but comes like 3rd or something.

  32. H.... V....

    Que canción mas hermosa...

  33. N.... ....

    Love the album, only bad thing: it was too short! Could do with more songs like Below, Alleviate, I Lose Hope and At The Bottom (please 😬). Awesome band! Last two albums are absolute gems for me ❤️

  34. F.... W....

    Why is this guy's voice so reminiscent of ICS Vortex's?!

  35. F.... P....

    Now we need a collaboration between Einar and Beyonce.

  36. A.... ....

    While it's certainly true that I dislike the band's move away from their metal sound and reduction of the significance of the instruments' involvement in carrying the songs, I can't honestly say that I don't love some of the songs in this album. Below and Alleviate are immediate favorites, and a few more are growing on me.

  37. R.... M....

    That last chorus is just an explosion. Those vocals. God daAaAaAaAmn!

    R.... M....

    GoOoOoOoOsebums!

  38. B.... ....

    Why are they getting flak for changing their sound in some of these tracks? This shit and Below are both killer songs.

  39. K.... ....

    Damn it Leprous!! Go back to your roots. Don't grow a tree and chop it down.

  40. R.... Z....

    This song sounds like a song a PE teacher puts on a year-end slideshow in an assembly.

  41. J.... M....

    Leprous have become a meme on social media..

  42. K.... ....

    I'm loving this new album <3

  43. P.... T....

    This is what happens when pop is played by someone who knows what the fuck he is doing

  44. A.... O....

    Go watch this on your PS4. You can play along with the intro by pressing the PS button a few times. Come back and let me know how it went.

  45. r.... R....

    Damn I have to listen to some necrophagist after this lol

  46. E.... E....

    If this is the sound of someone selling out we need to hear it more often. This is the best vocals I've heard come out of Norway since when Roy Khan was at his peak.

  47. V.... P....

    Amazing song

  48. N.... R....

    This is the best fucking song of 2019

  49. a.... b....

    This song is so well done that it might make get along any random long hair metal wanker nerd and some tasteless justin bieber fan. You guys nailed it. I fucking love it.

  50. a.... b....

    I'm wondering if it's more clever the song itself, wich is definitely prog pop, or the all comments below. Cheers mates.

  51. R.... L....

    I think this is their best song ever. My favourite album is Coal, but this has so much raw emotion oozing from every second. And with it's short run time it always leaves me wanting more.

  52. R.... S....

    I could imagine this being Noway's contestant to Eurovision

  53. G.... 0....

    Never listened Leprous before, this sound a bit like Muse I think

  54. J.... B....

    going pop-rock... whata a shame

  55. F.... ....

    tbh, after this song i was a bit sceptical about this new album, but DAMN!
    Lerpous nailed it again! They just can't do wrong, its different, but still them.
    my heart is wide open listening to einars angelic voice <3

  56. T.... S....

    I love it! true art! Also, big props to the amazing drummer (y)

  57. C.... B....

    Ok I think the album is just okay... but this voice is goddamn SPECTRAL.
    FUCK!

  58. A.... P....

    Wouldn't call it pop tho it certainly isn't metal either! Its without genre but a good song is a good song!

  59. A.... P....

    Pop? La ptm nooo leprous =(

    A.... P....

    the sky is red it totally pop music dude

  60. S.... ....

    Song of the year! Absolutely stunning! I loved The Congregation and the heavier sound but this is beautiful!
    Pop the way pop should sound!

  61. M.... F....

  62. H.... ....

    Well this is the best song of 2019

  63. C.... P....

    first impression of the album, too soft for a Leprous fan. Second hearing.... delightfull !!! awesome work. congratulations.

  64. P.... T....

    гениально!!!

  65. A.... P....

    PIPES!!!!

  66. I.... v....

    A good song is a good song, wtf all these stupid comments. If you dont like it: skip it

  67. T.... ....

    amazing

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

    Monstrueux

  69. p.... H....

    Let it gooo, let it gooooo… .

  70. N.... R....

    Literally every pop fan:
    "This song is awesome!"
    **Listens to The Sky is Red, the best song on the album**
    "wtf, too long and complex for my tiny attention span."

    N.... R....

    Bit snobby, no?

    N.... R....

    @Guodlca mmm yes quite

    N.... R....

    You sound like Nirvana youtube comments dude chill lmao

  71. S.... T....

    Whoever calls this pop hasn't heard pop before

  72. J.... F....

    I didn't know Thor sang for Lerpous, wow!

  73. D.... ....

    So soothing and heartfelt!

  74. S.... C....

    Gay. In a bad sense.

    S.... C....

    You are gay. In a bad sense.

  75. M.... D....

    The boys are trying to out-coldplay Coldplay! Nice effort!

  76. I.... B....

    I can not hit those notes at 2:30.

  77. D.... R....

    Does testosterone even exist in Scandinavia anymore? or do they have to "import" it

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

    The are comming to Madrid next month... I am ready for the AAAAAAll I could do was wait
    !!!!!

  79. A.... Z....

    Toll!!!

  80. S.... N....

    Imagine you have the most talented, amazing and gifted drummer in the prog scene in your band. And then you have him play this...... :-/

    S.... N....

    Sylvo Nijhuis what do you mean? Who else would come up with drum parts like this better than Baard? So what he isn’t flexing around the kit. Everything he puts into these songs have still been uniquely Baard. We already know what he can do. I personally think this is refreshing.

  81. J.... ....

    Look in the dictionary for Epic. It just says Alleviate.

  82. A.... S....

    Not bad...

  83. �.... ....

    The soundtrack of my depression

  84. X.... ....

    this is great . its also a fucking awesome insight into what anxiety/depression is like .

  85. G.... M....

    Sounds quite shitty.

  86. F.... V....

    AAAAaaaaAAAAaaaAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa

  87. L.... L....

    eu percebi o erro ai eim! malandrinhos!

  88. D.... A....

    the chorus give me the best goosebumps ever.

  89. s.... ....

    Here to read all the “ThIs iSnT MeTaL” comments after them clearly posting everywhere that this isn’t going to be a metal album. Never go into a Leprous album with your own expectations. They’ve always made the music they want to make and are always changing. Get over it prog hogs.

  90. A.... M....

    this isnt metal, why do people call this band metal?

    A.... M....

    All their other albums are metal albums. Listen to "forced entry" a song from their first album. Good tune

    A.... M....

    Listen to their first 4-5 albums :^)

  91. M.... H....

    Love their earlier works.... one thing is that they don't sit still regarding style.

  92. D.... ....

    Frikin love the drum sound in this at 1:14!

  93. S.... ....

    Hands down one of my favorite songs of the year!!!

  94. r.... h....

    I could see this winning the Eurovision Song Contest by a landslide

    r.... h....

    Agreed but fuck Eurovision. It's a part of the political machine at this point. Music hardly matters

  95. t.... ....

    wait there is a 3.43-minute long song... it's over so quickly :( what went wrong here

  96. M.... ....

    People compare it to pop, but meant as a criticism. I think there's much better pop than this. The thing about Leprous is that they're so fucking one dimensional. Can't they do more than one emotional frequency? Apparently not. Every song feels the same, even though various details change.

    M.... ....

    Every song feels the same?.... Have you ever listened to Leprous?....They are a prog band from Norway, check them.

    M.... ....

    @kostas bousbouras Let me rephrase that: Everything on the albums I've heard feels the same. In that they all go for that dramatic, melancholic vibe with lots of sensitive, emotional falsetto vocals. Their early material might be a bit more colorful, I don't know about that. They're a band that I kinda like, but usually get bored with quickly.

  97. D.... ....

    I want to hear Einar in an Ayreon project.

    D.... ....

    I've been thinking the same thing! That would be amazing

    D.... ....

    Yes! Then Ayreon got both Einar and Karevik!

    D.... ....

    @thegillband and Thomas Guiles

  98. S.... R....

    For all europeans in here, don't you think the intro and chorus of this song sounds like a typical inspirational pop-rock Eurovision song?

    S.... R....

    I don't know. I always avoid watching the Eurovision contest because the songs suck.
