Play this: Thrice Tuesday and Twice Wednesday Throwback

avatar

Sometimes music takes a hold of you and doesn't let go.

I hope to share something to that effect today with you all here.

IF you already have a love of Thrice music, please show some appreciation with all the engagements 💯😎

These are all older releases by them but they are still touring and you can catch them playing in a city near you 🤩🙇‍♂️

Ive included all the lyrics so you can sing along 💪💬

[Verse 1]
One day the dreamers died within us
When all our answers never came
We hid the truth beneath our skin but
Our shadows never looked the same

[Chorus 1]
A ghost is all that's left
Of everything we swore we never would forget
We tried to bleed the sickness
But we drained our hearts instead
We are, we are the dead

[Verse 2]
And when we couldn't stop the bleeding
We held our hearts over the flame
We couldn't help but call it treason
After that we couldn't fill our frames
After that our shadows never looked the same

[Chorus 1]
A ghost is all that's left
Of everything we swore we never would forget
We tried to bleed the sickness
But we drained our hearts instead
We are, we are the dead

[Bridge]
In summers past we'd challenge fate
With higher pitch and perfect aim
And standing fast, we'd radiate
A light we loved but never named
But the answers never came
And our shadows never looked the same

[Chorus 2]
A ghost is all that's left
(We are the ones who lost our faith)
Of everything we swore we never would forget
(Can we be saved?)
We tried to bleed the sickness
But we drained our hearts instead
We are, we are the dead
(We are the ones who lost our faith)
A ghost of everything we thought but never said
(Can we be saved?)
We tried to bleed the sickness
But we drained our hearts instead

[Outro]
We are the ones who lost our faith
We dug ourselves an early grave
We are the dead, can we be saved?

The blue light spills like oceans
We smile and let it in
It cures us of our questions
Like hoods on peregrine

Knowledge locked in a tower
Barons will hold the key
But if knowledge is power
Know this is tyranny

All we're asking for is what's ours
You think they're selling you truth
Truth is, they're selling you out
The truth, they're selling you out

The black ink fuels our notions
That all the facts are in
It cures us of our questions
Like hoods on peregrine

Knowledge locked in a tower
Barons will hold the key
But if knowledge is power
Know this is tyranny

All we're asking for is what's ours
You think they're selling you truth
But they're just selling you
And if we keep buying in
The line between lies and truth
Will wear paper thin
Paper thin

You think they're selling you truth
The truth is, they're selling you out

[Verse 1]
There’s many who’ll tell you they’ll give you their love
But when they say "give" they mean "take"
They hang ‘round just like vultures 'til push comes to shove
And take flight when the earth starts to shake

Someone may say that they’ll always be true
Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn
But I won’t leave you hanging on

Another may stay 'til they find someone new
Then before you know they’ll be gone
But I won’t leave you hanging on
No, I won’t, won't be that someone

[Chorus]
And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight

[Verse 2]
Some talk of destiny, others of fate
But soon they’ll be saying goodbye
But I won’t leave you high and dry

'Cause a ring don’t mean nothing if you can’t haul the weight
And some of them won’t even try
But I won’t leave you high and dry
I won’t leave you wondering why

[Bridge]
And storms will surely come
But true love is a choice you must make and you are the one
That I have set my heart to choose
As long as I live, I swear I’ll see this through

Sincerely hope you all enjoyed this TTT as much as I did!

Please let us know which of these tracks you enjoyed the most in the comments for a PIZZA PARTY.

Thank you for supporting my work!

"the blue light spills like oceans

like hoods on peregrine"

Like someone else mentioned, the blue light is T.V. which gives answers most people are satisfied with. It covers the truth, and we accept it.

"knowledge locked in a tower
barons will hold the key
but if knowledge is power,
know this is tyranny
all we're asking for is what's ours"

They are hiding the truth, keeping it "locked" up, so we have no access to it. But, "knowledge is power," therefore the people withholding the truth have all the power, because they have the knowledge. Because they have all the power, they are tyrants.

"you think they're selling you truth,
truth is, they're selling you out
truth is, they're selling you out"

People take what magazines, T.V., even the governent says as truth, but it's not.

"the black ink fuels our notions
that all the facts are in
it cures us of our questions
like hoods on peregrine"

"The black ink" is referring to newspapers, magazines, etc. People take the news as fact and do not question its credibility.

"all we're asking for is what's ours

you think they're selling you truth
but they're just selling you
and if we keep buying in
the line between lies and truth
will wear paper thin,
paper thin"

If we keep taking what the media says as fact, then there will be no difference between what is real and what is not. We will just be robots, sort of.

I love Thrice. - antisocialkatie - https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858488718/

It is true friend that sometimes music takes hold of you and indeed doesn't let go until one does the needful. Here you have done the needful by sharing these.
Kudos man

When I got to the third song I was excited, thinking they had covered The Band's The Weight. Alas. Yet it was still good!
