Periphery - Marigold Lyrics






Latched to this life like a death-grip
We're satisfied with the mundane and keeping out of sight
But still we are young
We are young

I'll stare the angels down
Keep them in the back room
Shut the door and let go
Now we stare at the grave cold and paralyzed
Pushing daisies while we still feel the sunshine
We are young
We are young
Slip through the marigolds and please our damaged souls

This place is holding me
Jump through the rope, let's make it credible
When blood is all we see, life is impossible

Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling
We're on the clock and the needle is turning
The misery is killing me slowly
Give me a spine to work it out

You're just another one wandering aimlessly until the grave
The signs of the times are upon us all
We're bleeding for tomorrow
Sucking on the mother's dead tit of sorrow
It's alright, we'll learn it all before we go
Snapped by the neck as we follow
Chin up, now tighten the rope
Leave it all hollow

This place is holding me
Jump through the rope, let's make it credible
When blood is all we see, life is impossible

Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling
We're on the clock and the needle is turning fast
The misery is killing me slowly
Give me a spine to work it out
No funeral
No pyre left burning
This body is dust in the wind that's hurling past
The misery is killing me slowly
Give me a spine to work it out

I guess I will just leave things the way they are

This place is holding me
Jump through the rope, let's make it credible
When blood is all we see, life is impossible

(Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling
We're on the clock and the needle's turning
The misery's killing me slowly
Give me a spine to work it out)

Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling
We're on the clock and the needle is turning fast
The misery is killing me slowly
Give me a spine to work it out
No funeral
No pyre left burning
This body is dust in the wind that's hurling past
The misery is killing me slowly
Give me a spine to work it out

    Ok, but what's Vsauce doing in the beginning?

  2. j.... m....

    I'm glad that a friend introduced me to this band - this is amazing!

  3. R.... v....

    This video reminds me a bit of those egg-like games...but with tubes. Would this be a tube-like?

  5. T.... ....

    still one of the best metal songs I've ever heard

  6. P.... ....

    The songs of the 90s have horrible cgi videoclips.
    What?? Its from 2016??
    .... Oh shit...

  7. R.... V....

    Lesson: the guy with the book is the real MVP.

  8. S.... B....

    *OH THIT*

  9. S.... G....

    I’ve been practicing this song at .75 speed, tried it at normal speed and my picking hand had a stroke

    S.... G....

    S G you need misha’s sausage fingers to play it at full speed

    S.... G....

    Gavin Maguire shit, time to gain weight

  10. �.... ....

    Masterpice

  11. N.... ....

    2:44 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  12. L.... L....

    History behind the warrior!!

  13. S.... Y....

    Favorite Song. The video is weird, though. I would interpret the song completely differently.

    S.... Y....

    I'm a bit disapointed in the spoken lyirics

    "If I were the devil
    I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people
    Instead of the other way around
    I would make it legal to take the life of the unborn
    Make it socially acceptable to take one's own life
    And invent machines to make it more convenient
    I would attack the family, the backbone of every nation
    I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young
    And I would get sports heroes to advertise them"
    I guess I will just leave things the way they are

    I love the general existential criticism in the rest of the song, but the problems of the world have nothing to do
    with abortion, suicide or the assumed/perceived devalorisation of the family values.
    To me this doesn't represent the sentiment of the song and takes a weird conservative and naive turn. That's annoying.

    S.... Y....

    Honestly it's good it shows literally how fucked up the world is. No wonder millions suffer when this shit is the normal lol

  14. S.... ....

    That moment when you thought this was a nirvana cover.........

  15. T.... S....

    Bro what the fuck are those things?

  16. O.... ....

    Damn, these droids aim worse than stormtroopers.

  17. t.... ....

    Imagine watching that vid while high xD

    Accretion - Strizwald

  19. T.... ....

    I half expected the video to tell me it was reticulating splines at the beginning lol. Love this whole album

  20. M.... L....

    See... This is my problem with periphery. They make absolute BANGERS like this once or twice every album, but then I can't get into a good 90% of the rest of their stuff. Maybe I haven't doven in far enough, but I feel like I really only like the stuff they write thats more like this. I personally just am not amused by songs like alpha or it's only smiles off of their newest album. Can anyone recommend stuff that's more like this, blood eagle, etc?

    M.... L....

    I've only listened to their last two albums but some of my favourites are chvrch bvrner, motormouth, habitual line stepper and follow your ghost

    M.... L....

    I was the same until I eventually found a few songs I liked and got way more into the ones I didn’t like, few examples of stuff like that are, motormouth, habitual line stepper, the price is wrong, graveless, hell below there’s a ton more though

    M.... L....

    @Gavin Maguire guess what, it's been a month and I decided to dive DEEP and now I'm completely obsessed hahahha habitual line stepper, follow your ghost, Ragnarok, and even remain indoors. I definitely realized they're like Devin townsend's stuff, where you really don't learn to appreciate it until you've heard it 2 dozen times.

    Amazing how I haven't done this earlier.

  21. 2.... S....

    That riff. Fuckin beautiful.

  22. y.... m....

    Why do I feel bad for the robots when they do their sad eyes.

  23. E.... N....

    What a moving video

  24. M.... C....

    Came here from a Rick Beato's video. My previous genre exposition (and please don't let this decay into an empty genre discussion) was Animals as Leaders and Meshuggah. So far I'm liking what I hear. A lot.

  25. A.... ....

    A quick intro cover by a 16 year old to honour this song and the musicians behind it :-) https://youtu.be/9YHdHJ8Wzho

  26. L.... K....

    0:06 Hey VSauce, Michael here

  27. B.... N....

    The miseray is killing may slowlay

  28. K.... C....

    random question. Is this available for clone hero?

  29. T.... ....

    4:16 - 4:33 amazing

  30. e.... ....

    One of Periph's top tracks IMO!

  31. a.... ....

    great music, but vocal is like from pop song..

  32. m.... p....

    god damn

  33. C.... C....

    History behind the warrior brought me here

  34. K.... L....

    5:05 no you

  35. D.... �....

    this doesn't make sense

  36. Z.... B....

    This theme is amazing

  37. e.... m....

    mt bom, fais mas

  38. �.... �....

    god its such a good song, but im just disappointed the heavy part where it goes from the violin to the guitar didnt hit harder

  39. T.... k....

    they should do a joint with Jay-z

  40. J.... H....

    I love you guys

  41. H.... ....

    I would like an instrumental version of this. Vocal lines are too MTV for my taste.

  42. I.... M....

    Matt! The drums! My god!

  43. G.... A....

    Now I live in 7/8 you damn

  44. G.... T....

    this one of the best song ive ever listen both with vocals and instrumental version

  45. K.... O....

    man those robots aim worse than stormtoopers

  46. A.... D....

    The fucking best

  47. c.... ....

    Thought this was ROBLOX

    Government: Planning Complete Mind Control

    Individuals: Out of all the masses only a few really rebel against the scheme.

  50. S.... ....

    0:05 hello michael, periphery here

  51. D.... T....

    What's with the emo-pansy vocal shit? It ruins the whole djent vibe. So anti-climactic. Fire that weak-ass singer and get a *REAL* metal vocalist, lest ye be dubbed _Emo NuMetal_ for all eternity.

    D.... T....

    Dan The-Man dude have you heard blood eagle he’s definitely a “real metal vocalist”

  52. T.... k....

    I want this as a multi player game

  53. e.... m....

    Me: Gets a strike while bowling.
    TV: this video

  54. N.... ....

    I am the only one who just understands the random wording type in this music video when it comes to the words on the doors and stuff.

  55. I.... ....

    3:18
    Dutch Van Der Linde?

  56. L.... ....

    Even the music video is progressive.

  57. S.... U....

    The song has such an epic feel about it. Periphery at the Royal Albert Hall with an orchestra perhaps....

  58. C.... M....

    The video was too entertaining.
    I didn't even hear the song.

  59. C.... P....

    I guess hes anti abortion

  60. 1.... c....

    This is what an existential crisis sounds like.

  61. W.... ....

    Alright guys, calm down there. Jesus christ.


    Also: The amount of bullshit I had to go through just to find this damn video again was ridiculous.

  62. B.... B....

    This song destroys all.

  63. A.... K....

    Invasion of the pill bots...?

  64. S.... D....

    Love this song. The bridge is so true and the whole song is so uplifting and motivating.

  65. M.... M....

    Rondônia - Brazil
