I just sobbed all the way through listening to the first disc of Devin Townsend Project’s album Transcendence and reading the lyrics along with it. I was afraid seeing them live would alter the depth to which their music makes me feel- but no. He still manages to touch a very very deep and intrinsic part of my soul, and even though the music can be heavy at times, these lyrics are so….,, validating and comforting, they inspire me to carry on and feel and love and be part of something bigger than i am right now, and their delivery is so powerful… These lyrics stood out to me and they made me cry the most haha. Just wanted to document them here.
Winter hides the dead
Just like summer ends too soon
Springing forth the new knowing
Autumn is the tombAnd I’ll wait for you
‘Cause it’s waiting for youLiving hides the dead just like
Suns and earth and moon
Springing forth the new knowing
Flowers need to bloomAnd I’ll wait for you
‘Cause it’s waiting for youUnsure? Well, here’s help with the wait
The heavens move and the earth will quake
And now god has failed as a metaphor
There’s only awe forever moreLife is all dynamics
Life is all… dynamics
There’s life in all dynamicsLife is all dynamic
Unsure? Well, here’s help with the weight
There’s only “god” for “heaven’s” sake
There’s only one key to unlock the door
You must get the metaphor
(God help our mother… love one another!)
