SBTRKT - Trials Of The Past Lyrics






So young, so how were you to know, know, know
You're a carrier, a carrier, of the light inside of you
Glows green in the pitch black night, night, night
Can't tell anyone, anyone, it's hurting you
So hold it in, cover up, pull up your sheets, your sheets
A torpedo cruising in the ocean, and soon it's due
So I got to sit up, sit up, oh, up
For my heart to come down, down, down, down, down
So I got to sit up, up, up, up, up
For my heart to come down, down, down, down, down

The ghoulish entities, they come floating through the walls.
Ghostly enemies, they come floating through you door.

And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall.
From the past from the past and they'll summon right before you like The Ghost of Christmas Past.

I was always floating around the cit-t-ty.
Going with the flow without ever knowing where I wanna be.
So I got into crazy situa-a-tions.
A loyal soldier who acts who acts who acts. But never asks.
Why am I flying on my back my back?
With the moon looking down, down, down, down, down.
Where's my band? Where's anything at all all?
And why's the ceiling going black, black, black, black, black?

The ghoulish entities they come floating through the walls.
Ghostly enemies they come floating through you door.
And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall.
From the past from the past and they'll summon right before you like The Ghost of Christmas Past.

No, that hurts[?] and anything's coming unless you go,
And you can't break the chasing ghosts ghosts ghosts.
So much so. When they come back but never ask.
At your side, at your soul.
When they come back but never ask.

The ghoulish entities they come floating through the walls.
Ghostly enemies they come floating through you doll.
And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall.
From the past from the past and they'll summon right before you like The Ghost of Christmas Past.

  1. D.... D....

    Way ahead of its time and underrated album. Hope they release new stuff come 2020

  2. D.... ....

    heh Im the biggest fan of Sampha on this planet and i didnt hear that song before :D

  3. S.... I....

    I think this one is my favorite song off this album, that or Ready Set Loop... Although this album was released in 2011 I didn't hear it until the spring of 2012 but when I did not only was it so powerful as to slightly alter my perception of my reality but it entirely changed the way I think of and perceive music as a whole... Theres been plenty of other good music produced this decade but for me not a single song or melody produced since then has had that effect on me. You are truly amazing and one of a kind SBTRKT... Keep it up!!!

    So young so how were you to know know know
    You're a carrier a carrier of the light inside of you
    Glows green in the pitch black night night night
    Can't tell anyone anyone it's hurting you
    So hold it in cover up, pull up your sheets your sheets
    What to be, down cruising in the ocean, and sin it's due
    So I got to sit up, sit up up up
    For my heart to come down down down down down
    So I got to sit up, up up up up
    For my heart to come down down down down down

    [Hook]
    The ghoulish entities they come floating through the walls
    Ghostly enemies they come floating through you door
    And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall
    From the past from the past and they're somewhere right before you like The
    Ghost of Christmas Past

    [Verse 2]
    I was always floating around the city
    Go with the flow without ever knowing where I wanna be
    So I got into crazy situations
    A loyal soldier who acts who acts who acts. But never asks
    Why am I flying on my back, my back?
    With the moon looking down down down down down
    Where's my band? Where's anything at all all?
    And why's the ceiling going black black black black black?

    [Hook]
    The ghoulish entities they come floating through the walls
    Ghostly enemies they come floating through you door
    And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall
    From the past from the past and they're somewhere right before you like The
    Ghost of Christmas Past

    [Bridge]
    Now, there's not anything's coming unless you go
    And you can't break the chasing ghosts ghosts ghosts
    So much so. When they come back but never ask
    At your side, at your soul
    When they come back but never ask

    [Hook]
    The ghoulish entities they come floating through the walls
    Ghostly enemies they come floating through you door
    And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall
    From the past from the past and they're somewhere right before you like The
    Ghost of Christmas Past
