Converge - Distance and Meaning

And like that heart that got in the way
I'll become the lost cause
The child of burden and rage
Like the distance in your touch
Like the years we burned down
I heard that phone call
The hesitation, the awkward silence
I felt everything in those seconds
Splinters of sentence and heartless advice
Nothing's changed but these days entwined

[Gorglazon]

@hifatsoos

pff you must have misread it <.<

[fakeaname]

I don't know about the lyrics to this song but that poem on the side totally gets me.

[Gorglazon]

[bgftnes]

[finowasotherchannel]

First song by Converge I heard. Still my favorite.

@Melvin0082 Metallic Hardcore has REAL punk and metal influences whereas Melodic Metalcore, with the exception of bands like Between the Buried and Me and Anterior, have watered-down riffs to appeal to wanna-be tough guys and skinheads with Double-Digit IQs (kind of like you).

[MetalRagnaroc]

@Melvin0082 Okay. First of all, put your thoughts down in a coherent manner so it's easier for the rest of us to understand. By what your post is getting at, it seems that you're agreeing with me. Thrash Metal (Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura) has Metal song structure with Punk Attitude. Metallic Hardcore (Converge, Integrity, etc.) is PUNK song structure with METAL attitude.

@MetalRagnaroc you make me fuckin'sick by putting everything in a fuckin'case, its more hardcore than melodic metalcore? youre soJERK ,, metal (hard) core, is already coming coming from hardcore punk, who that coming from rock that coming from blues so WHAT% this is music shutthe fuck up about gender, because you are not able to analyse it /// metallica was influenced by punkcore band like DR KNOW .. ...so was SLAYER and sepultura..anyway,, one thing is true,punkcore to grindcore is ANTIFAscist

@Gorglazon They may purport to be the lyrics but they do not appear to be what he is singing: it starts with something like "That's where they die, that's where she outshines..." - every song on the album is like that.

[kowtpr187]

Thats where they shineeeeeeeeee!!! Thats where she outshines!!!

[MetalRagnaroc]

@LiNaK37 I know, right? That's because this is more 'Metallic Hardcore' than 'Melodic Metalcore.'

These guys are actually a great 'Metallic Hardcore' band, with real Punk and Metal influences resonating throughout their songs, unlike 'Melodic Metalcore', which are bands like We Came as Romans and Attack Attack!, you know, the shit ones: Pseudo-Punk influences and watered-down Gothenburg Melodeath Riffs.

[CANOFSPAM9]

Can't follow any of the lyrics on Jane Doe. I swear the lyrics that have been given are poetry which matches the feel of the song and the band has other lyrics which they really used. Either way love this band.

[LiNaK37]

Woah, woah, woah, hold on here... metalcore... that DOESN'T suck? What the fuck is going on here?
