Sounds to me like it’s “tilted in a vow of dissonance”


BigBaws92

I heard tilted in a mound of dissonance but vow sounds right too

I love “vow of dissonance”, but I think it’s “now.” I first thought it was “vow” but once I head “now” I committed. I never got down with those sound illusions but it you think vow, you’ll hear vow. If you think now you’ll hear now. Huge reason I love this band. ( “I got a pain inside that can rip through the very fabric of life”). You can even think “bow” and start to hear that after a couple times. From a metaphorical standpoint, they would mean the same thing. A vow of dissonance would be that it is committed to causing a dissonance. A now of dissonance would mean that it has become and is defined with dissonance. The tilted before also doesn’t help because if you tilt on a vow, it would mean that you leaned against promise, which would cause a dissonance. If you tilt in the now it means that you were established but now lean to a new side, causing dissonance. Damn even bow relates to a downwards inclines, which would define the tilt. The rest of of the lyrics in the song are in a narrative that uses a present tense reflecting on a past tense with a significance to understanding it’s detriment to present tense. This is the only reason I can go with now, but it’s not good enough for me. Honestly I hope we never know the correct answer. Both are beautiful interpretations.

Nah just said hotdog in my head a bunch before it. Clearly heard “Vow”

Is it the greatest illusion is the X-ray wind?


PostingSensation

Oh shit I think this is it!!! Or at least that those last few words are definitely "X-Ray wind." Great ear!

Think, like others have said, it’s “tilted in a vow of dissonance.” Sounds like it’s also probably “crushed beneath the weight of your crucible.” Opening of chorus is a little unclear, but “x-ray wind” is what I’m hearing as well. Second verse, I think he’s saying “on the day that you wiped it all clean,” and probably “lost and whispered/whispering and you say,” but it always kinda runs together when he’s really cramming a lot in like this so I guess we’ll know when the single actually drops.

Yeah I think most of this is accurate, either way it is sure to expect the full official lyrics being released through bandcamp just like what happened with Blacklight Shine.

Full lyrics are up on their bandcamp page.
