Silent Planet - XX (City Grave) Lyrics






This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual
Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face
Privilege brings us to this place of human currencies
(We) buried our sisters in a glass display
Only to evaporate to a toxic skyline-
Underneath we sell off the bodies

My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls
Show me your righteous leader;
I'll show you the bullet holes
The preacher with the parched tongue
And the "God" that he controls:
"Shake off the sin! Shake off the sin!"
And spit out your cacophony of lies

I'll climb through your screen and bleed out the image you left in me

But God, are you a man?
Then how do you see me?
From where you sit up in heaven looking down on my hell
My body chokes back
"I have nothing to draw with
And the well is deep-
Where can I get living water?"

Enslaved in the "Land of the Free"-
My prison is our wedding bed where you left me for dead
You'll leave us for dead
Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea
Where you drown in the comfort of our complicity

Can Love save me?
Will your wrath avenge us?

  8. T.... ....

    more like xxx (titty grave) ;^)))



    forgive me

  9. T.... T....

    the level of depth in these lyrics is awesome. Strong words.

  10. I.... !....

    Are you guys blaming God for your sins I'm a bit confused

    I.... !....

    They aren't personally. Many of their songs are written through someone else's eyes.

  11. A.... M....

    They are good but not my type of style o.0

  12. D.... ....

    I love this band!!

  13. E.... ....

    "I'll climb through your screen and bleed out the image you left in me. But God are you a man, and how do you see me for when you sit up in heaven looking down in my hell. My body shows back". These are words with huge meaning in it. Keep up the good work can't wait till the new album comes out

  14. S.... ....

    HFS THIS HITS HARD!

  15. A.... M....

    Awesomeness for the ears.

  16. J.... A....

    Am I the only one who finds that part and the part before it where it says "my body chokes back" insanely awesome. I love this band! Keep up the great work.

    J.... A....

    it's so sick.

    J.... A....

    Josh Allison you are not alone my friend

    J.... A....

    I always envision his body arched back like he's possessed when the part hits. My favorite part though is when he exclaims "mmm my body became a graveyard where they bury thirsty souls.

    J.... A....

    I always turn insane at that part 🤤

  17. D.... ....

    Refreshing to hear. Great work lads!

  18. d.... ....

    You guys played with my brother's band in Oregon some months back. My boyfriend brought back one of your cds and I listen to it fairly often. This is seriously my favorite track on the album.

  19. G.... B....

    :30 was amazing!

  20. A.... W....

    0:31 sounds like lemongrab

    A.... W....

    @Alec Williams Lol I want an edited remix right fupping now

    A.... W....

    +Alec Williams Dude. That one made my day :D

    A.... W....

    +Alec Williams that one cracked me up

  21. W.... w....

    Garrets lyricism leaves me baffled 

  22. L.... J....

    These guys to me arent like oh sleeper at all. There way better lol

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

    I actually really love this. Really raw lyrics; would love to see their live show.

  24. J.... Q....

    Masterpiece

  25. J.... P....

    Thrice reference <3

  26. M.... M....

    jdskjhjsahjs So good. I can't even. 

  27. S.... ....

    3 seconds in and I love it.
    It's got a very "Volumes" sound to it, but I'll give it a try nonetheless (what I'm insinuating is I've heard this before because it doesn't sound too different).

    S.... ....

    To me, this is more like what I wish volumes was. Much more well thought lyrics and better composition keeps me interested in these guys, while volumes seems to fall short there.

  28. R.... ....

    SLT PANT.

  29. L.... C....

    i discovered this band yesterday. it was probably the best day of my life.

  30. S.... S....

    Fucking perfect. Does anyone knows smth about their guitar tunning?

    S.... S....

    sounds a lot like Drop A# to me..

    S.... S....

    Whole album is drop A#. I asked, hahah.

    S.... S....

    @Nick Waldron Thanks a lot! I thought it's lower...

  31. T.... N....

    I loved this band the second I heard their name. 

  32. P.... T....

    Oh man this gave me chills. Sounds like Oh, Sleeper and i LOVE IT!!!

  33. N.... N....

    Just saw them live last night in Springfield, never heard of 'em before, but fell in love instantly.  

  34. t.... a....

    This band is insane. AILD use to be my favorite. Might be these guys now. 

  35. R.... E....

    I just can't believe that this song has only 2:52 minutes! Amazing, amazing and amazing! ♥ Truly loved it!

  36. H.... B....

    This is so deserving of a music video.

  37. D.... P....

    This is insane

  38. J.... ....

    I'm not christian, but its realy cool that these guys not only sing about their religion, but seem to be very knowledgable about it

  39. H.... B....

    This is my new favorite SP song.

  40. R.... ....

    "Show me your righteous leader; I'll show you the bullet holes." WHOA FREAKING SICK LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!

  41. I.... P....

    It's like if Oh, Sleeper and Phinehas had a baby..

  42. D.... ....

    very well put together

  43. O.... C....

    Must...have...more! Will hold me over until the inevitable Oh Sleeper release. I wish they'd tour together.

    O.... C....

    @thelightbeamrider28 Last I heard they were supposed to release the last half of the Titan EP. Hope it comes soon. I haven't checked their Facebook in a while.

    O.... C....

    I hope so too. Been too long since the Titan EP released

    O.... C....

    @Omni Codex I need a demon hunter/Oh, sleeper/ For Today/ Impending doom tour

    O.... C....

    then i can die with the assurance that God has shown me everything this world has to offer XD

    O.... C....

    +Omni Codex FOR TODAY, YESSSS.

  44. E.... ....

    Never heard of this band til now, but man, they sound good.

  45. J.... v....

    YES!!! A NEW ALBUM. best band

  46. T.... ....

    My friemd Seth Keen yold me to listen so i did not disapointed at all.

  47. D.... T....

    Seriously some of the best lyrics ever.

  48. K.... K....

    no clean vocals? Somebody please tell me that Thomas did not leave. He was the best singer ever

  49. j.... a....

    Vi. Thrice 2007?

    j.... a....

    Thrice, the band.

  50. N.... J....

    oh yes this is amazing 

  51. a.... ....

    This has been a good year for music

  52. A.... J....

    Amazing!

  53. D.... A....

    Are these guys a Christian Band?

    D.... A....

    Yes. At the bottom of the description is a section sourcing the inspirations for each section of the song. Many are verses from the bible.

    D.... A....

    Solid State is a Christian Label, so typically the bands will be also. And what @allooutrick said is also true. I remember those verses, and like the song. I can't wait to see where they go~

  54. J.... M....

    Thank you solid state...

  55. S.... C....

    Dang. Y'all get better and better. Love these guys so much. See them live when you get the chance!

  56. N.... W....

    Thrice reference FTW!

    N.... W....

    digital sea is a song off water on the alchemy index.

  57. t.... ....

    Please make a lyric video (including the footnotes) of this song. Silent planet is truly exceptional.

    t.... ....

    Lyrics and foot notes are in the video's description :)

    t.... ....

    @Alexrene Camarena the message would reach far more people in a lyric video format. Amazing music!

  58. C.... R....

    Amazing band.... A.... Maz... ING @John B

  59. j.... ....

    My band played with them once :.) They are the nicest people

  60. C.... ....

    I find the lyrics very interesting with all those footnotes which takes them to a.deeper level where we can really understand them in the way that they were meant to be

    C.... ....

    I wish more bands would do that. Him and Micah from Oh Sleeper are lyrical geniuses.

    C.... ....

    @Omni Codex Might have something to do with the SP vocalist having a bachelors degree in English 

    C.... ....

    @Omni Codex Don't forget Steve Cobucci from Wolves at the gate!

    C.... ....

    @Allan Madhuram True Dat

  61. R.... S....

    instant fan.

  62. B.... ....

    Met these guys at a show in Dallas. Very proud of their efforts and creativity! Will I Pre-order???

    Why, YES I WILL!

    Much love Silent Planet! Still looking forward to making my world famous pulled pork when ya swing back through Dallas!

    bE

  63. J.... R....

    PERFECT

  64. A.... D....

    So heaviness. Stoked for the album, dudes.

  65. A.... ....

    I had to pause the video before it started because I'm simply scared that I won't be able to handle how intense this is going to be. Silent planet is the most talented and original and creative and passionate band that has been around for far too long. Long live SLNT PLNT

    A.... ....

    Them and Oh Sleeper.

  66. C.... .....

    not often you see lyrics with footnotes like that. I like it.

    C.... .....

    It's the opposite end of giving the listener the chance to draw their own interpretations/conclusions. I love eihter

  67. B.... P....

    This song is so good I can't wait to hear the rest of the new album!

  68. T.... E....

    the vocals somehow remind me of Ryan Kirby's

    T.... E....

    I hear Ryan's vocals too!

    T.... E....

    For me it was the way he pronounced "lies" at 0:46 
    There's an subtle "r" sound that Ryan does a lot. Awesome and aggressive.

    T.... E....

    Ted Eriksson Two of my favorite vocalists/bands in the genre

  69. C.... E....

    Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off of the floor. This is mind blowing.

  70. B.... G....

    This is so intense!

    B.... G....

    Dude! That would be freakin amazing!

    B.... G....

    @Omni Codex So we meet again. By the way that would be amazing.

    B.... G....

    @Hiøtr Björgson Snepill small internet world lol.

    B.... G....

    Indeed.

    B.... G....

    @Omni Codex omg yes

  71. B.... G....

    @Galen LaRone Then go listen to A Hill To Die Upon, Antestor, Pantokrator, Gideon, Colossus, Prepared Like A Bride, Sleeping Romance, Dissimulator, This Divided World, Slechtvalk, etc. There's plenty out there if you just look. No need to complain about Silent Planet (who, by the way, are one of the best and most unique bands in the metalcore scene now)

    B.... G....

    @Galen LaRone Being As An Ocean.

    B.... G....

    @TRevroN91srfsktnsnw I heard they had become universalists, do you know if that is true?

    B.... G....

    I haven't heard anything about that. I know that they had some member changes before their second album, and that the vocalist said in an interview that he was a Christian, but I don't know about the rest of the band

    B.... G....

    @Galen LaRone Could easy be. I don't necessarily agree with the Universalist docrine because I don't see it as Biblical, however I do think BAAO make awesome music and that they spread a truly positive message in a scene that has started lacking one.

    B.... G....

    Gotcha.

  72. E.... M....

    I love these guys :')... Garrett is such an amazing lyricist. I always enjoy reading his lyrics and looking into them.

  73. J.... ....

    I think my third nut just dropped!! Eff!!

  74. C.... L....

    I support any band that preaches the name of Christ, but for Pete's sake, we need something other than metalcore in the Christian metal scene.   I feel like I've heard this song so many times before. 

    C.... L....

    Check out The Burial they're Technical Death Metal. Or Broken Flesh who play Brutal Death Metal

    C.... L....

    I love Broken Flesh!

    C.... L....

    War Of Ages :) Impending doom

  75. T.... M....

    I was scared. But it was in vain. This is wonderful.

  76. v.... ....

    This is sick \m/

  77. B.... S....

    Blew my mind. Absolute amazing as always. So glad I per-ordered this album. I can't wait to hear more!

  78. T.... ....

    So good. Thank you for this guys

  79. S.... T....

    HOLY MOTHER OF GOD YES

  80. I.... ....

    Greatness.
