Circa Survive - Schema Lyrics






I never want to see clear at all
There's nothing that could be there now

X marks the page you see
Trapped in a cold white room
I wanna know who'd be there when you snuff the wick
I won't reflect the same as you
I want the proof you'll promise to let 'em down quick.

I never want to see clear at all
There's nothing that could be there now.

Pull out your teeth (until)
There's nothing left (at all)
Immediately I feel relief from dragging this vessel around

Exit the stage you keep
Sleep in a cold white room
I wanna know who'd be there when you snuff the wick

Just shut your mouth,

And if it takes forever to be sure,

I wanna know
I'll wait it out
And see your hand without fingerprints
I wanna know, I wanna know

Pull out your teeth (until)
There's nothing left (at all)
Immediately, I feel relief from dragging this vessel around.

I'm playing dead (until)
There's nothing left (at all)
Immediately I feel relief from dragging this vessel around.

  6. M.... J....

    Saosin + Tool = Circa Survive

  7. c.... ....

    I vaguely remember this music video from when I was younger, and I spent like 20 minutes searching variations of “circa survive baby fight” to find it.

  8. b.... ....

    Man, Jake Paul got his shit packed in

  9. M.... Y....

    This is my workout song on beastmode

  11. V.... ....

    fury was robbed.

  12. B.... J....

    this video is terrible lol what happened to Circa Survives quality control

  13. A.... ....

    Anyone find it interesting that the only way Anthony could win was with low blows? The baby wins with direct shots to the face.

  14. M.... F....

    it's the soul vs your fragile go

  15. G.... L....

    That's me and my baby fighting for my wife's milk

  16. M.... T....

    3:44 something about the way he sings print in “fingerprint” is so nice

  17. V.... ....

    There's something so dark/scary about his voice

  18. C.... s....

    I kinda wish that bell was in the actual song

  19. M.... T....

    Haha, Anthony got beat up by a baby.

  20. J.... C....

    Anyone knows this song got a cameo in the movie American Satan?

  21. H.... F....

    So this is the color version of Raging Bull fight scene :)

  22. N.... G....

    Anyone listening 4 years later still in awe of how good it is? The sound on this record might be the best I've ever heard, I wish The Amulet was mixed and mastered like this god record.

  23. j.... s....

    The fuck

  24. Y.... ....

    I was SO shocked to hear this in the American Satan movie

  25. J.... S....

    Terrible, honestly nobody will care about you soon. I'm sorry. But you did this to yourself.

  26. D.... D....

    In real life Anthony would’ve won

  27. K.... S....

    It's 2 am... and I wasn't sure what I was seeing at first

  28. M.... ....

    Shit man, this came out when I was a sophomore in highschool and now I'm gonna be a sophomore in college, and I'm still bumping this banger!

  29. M.... T....

    That was a
    video

  30. D.... S....

    Looks like an alternate reality where Jason Vorhees became a boxer instead of a mass murderer

  31. H.... B....

    So happy this song got picked for American Satan 😍😍

  32. J.... S....

    Boss baby on steroids lmao #LightsOut

  33. h.... ....

    Looks like I'm late to the party. This is amazing. The singer sounds like a mix of Tillian from DGD, Devin Oliver, and Elliott Coleman.

  34. e.... ....

    I've always wanted to know what the baby resembled or it mean nothing an more of an attraction peice

  35. A.... ....

    ... yeah, It's kinda like that.

  36. w.... l....

  39. v.... 2....

    I hatte dis baby

  40. A.... K....

    All this time I thought the merch dude would beat up Anthony, not some baby-man.

    A.... K....

    remember to tip the merch dude.... or he will kill Anthony.

  41. P.... B....

    The fuck?

  42. K.... P....

    I wonder if Richard James had anything to do with this music video..? No?

  43. A.... ....

    Getting strong 'Tool' vibes from this song. Like Lateralus/Aenima Tool

  44. Y.... A....

    I never want to see clear at all
    There's nothing that could be there now

    X marks the page you see
    Trapped in a cold white room
    I wanna know who'd be there when you snuff the wick
    I won't reflect the same as you
    I want the proof you'll promise to let 'em down quick.

  49. G.... M....

    So this is Anthony Green getting knocked the fuck out by the Great Golden Baby right?

  50. Y.... I....

    I am your grandma

    If you get this marry me

  51. A.... ....

    If you wanna get emotional, mute this, and start Nesting Dolls at the same time. It breaks my heart

  52. J.... S....

    Baby is in the wrong weight class

  53. M.... S....

    SHITT HAHA PUNCH BABIES!!! LIT-ER-ALLY!!!! XD

  54. M.... i....

    sick music video

  55. a.... ....

    Where's the huge ass baphomet tattoo on Anthony's back?

    a.... ....

    he got it within the last year i believe

  56. D.... ....

    This song reminds me of Jane's Addiction and Tool meshed together. Amazing!!!!

  57. V.... C....

    Don't give up the fight

  58. L.... P....

    he better not let that baby beat his ass lol

  59. i.... ....

    the baby is scaring me tbh

  60. H.... ....

    A schema (schematic) is a blueprint for how one operates and functions. With the birth of his child, Anthony now has to assimilate the prospect of a child into his life and contend (literally) with the reality that he is a father.

  61. M.... M....

    love this band!

  62. H.... ....

    красивая

  63. M.... A....

    Damn, they've come a long ways. Anthony looking daddy af.

  64. F.... P....

    I'm just too high to keep watching this video. good song though.

  65. M.... L....

    progressive rock at its finest

  66. j.... ....

    came here from the page that made that mask, some pretty good music. I think I'll be staying.

  67. A.... F....

    I never wanna see grandma

  68. N.... ....

    can someone explain what the fuck is in this mans mouth at 2:12

    N.... ....

    Nom mouth guard

  69. h.... y....

    dude the MV sucks, I mean its good, really good and all, but was hoping the guy would win somehow in the end, but he just died, it bothers me

    h.... y....

    That's their perception of the album, things just end, no reason, no hope, just ends.

  70. R.... V....

    That is one mean ass Baby

  71. Y.... A....

    I've only recently discovered Circa Survive through this vid. At first I was just watching it because I was so curious to see who's gonna win that fight. But now I really love this song.

  72. D.... L....

    They put some much soul into there music its so beautiful

    D.... L....

    2:57 chills

  73. J.... B....

    Bass line and kick parts mesh up so well. Such amazing ambient parts. Loving this new sound!

  74. D.... N....

    These guys have never been concerned with making hits or appealing to people other than themselves, which is a good thing. Make art for yourself and people liking it is a great by-product. That's why I have always always loved circa. Juturna is their greatest work but that's just my opinion because it perfectly reflects that time period in non commercial music. just imagine Anthony and deloused era Cedric (the Mara Volta) doing a collab....I would be completely fulfilled.

  75. J.... ....

    I just got into Circa (after falling in love with the new Saosin album with Anthony on it) and I much prefer this style over their old stuff. Its a shame this theme didn't carryout through the rest of the album.

  76. D.... S....

    This makes me wanna listen to Saosin's self-titled.

  77. Z.... A....

    My name is Michael J Caboose... and I.. HATE... BABIES!!

  78. B.... R....

    stoked for the upcoming tour

  79. D.... A....

    COHEED AND SURVIVE

  80. Y.... I....

    wow Anthony lost :(

    Y.... I....

    when does he ever not die in his music videos

  81. M.... H....

    I feel like this song and video are about his addition

    M.... H....

    I'm fuckin dead

  82. M.... A....

    I was actually crying when Anthony was getting punched in the face :'(

    M.... A....

    Like if you cry every time.

  83. C.... ....

    ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNCCCCHHHHHHH

    C.... ....

    maaaaannnnnnn

  84. A.... ....

    A very powerful song.

  85. A.... ....

    where am i

  86. R.... B....

    i smoke some outdoor weed,i'm from Romania,Constanta..the very first thing that i;ve notice is the old guy whit the long beard.the couch from the left corner..a few years ago i was also smoked and i was wondering who is gonna notice that junkie old man from several movies so i search for him ..his name is MARTIN PFEFFEORKORN..you will always see him in the movies like a drug addict or a bum..i am so high ,and i think his higher than Hymalaia,this is more than coincidence..much love for Martin and who the fuck am i to notice this..smoke and notice and keep watching around you ..salut

    R.... B....

    HAHAHA DUDE

  87. C.... ....

    that was great 10/10

  88. J.... ....

    It makes me sad that people don't like/don't get what the video is about.

    The way I see it, the video is about him dealing with his wife's miscarriages. He's constantly getting beat up through them, and there are more waiting on the sidelines as he tries to get through them. The whole beginning of the song is about him trying to get through their passings and moving on from them as best he can, and the end of the song ends with him having some relief with it all being over.

    Just my take anyways :x

    J.... ....

    The whole crow symbolism also signifies the whole tone of death throughout the song as well! Forgot to add that.

    J.... ....

    That's a great interpretation. But if I remember correctly (which is not very reliable haha), Anthony said it was about his heroin addiction and the childishness that he had while on it. He thought he could do heroin and act like a teenager for the rest of his life till it almost took his family away and almost took his life. That's why the raven, a symbol of death, it beside him till he gets knocked out. This is because Heroin beat him almost to death. When he hit rock bottom (him getting knocked out) the "baby" thinks it won. They were suppose to make a sequel to show him getting up but there was a huge back lash from fans who didn't understand the symbolism and just viewed it as gruesome. Personally as someone who has struggled with addiction, this video is pretty spot on.

    J.... ....

    Mitchell allen - I had the same thoughts.. especially with the crow watching the battle.. I think this video is a solid metaphor for his experience.

  89. R.... D....

    video doesnt work for the song at all for me. completely different vibe. still want to marry this song tho

    R.... D....

    I disagree...

  90. M.... L....

    fuck he sounds like cedric here

    M.... L....

    what cedric?

    M.... L....

    They even did a cover of At The Drive-In

    M.... L....

    No shit? I have to find this...what song? I dont' think he sounds like Ced though

  91. r.... v....

    who's here from pretty little liars ?

  92. J.... C....

    song's so fucking good. didn't really care for the video that much.

  93. U.... ....

    Descensus is easily their best album

    U.... ....

    Undergroundmcity I'm a gigantic fan of on letting go. I honestly love it so much I abstained from listening to new stuff since. I was 20 then. I'll be 30 next year. do you absolutely think I should given this album full attention?

    U.... ....

    QJAndra y
    Yes. Absolutely. Take it from a relatively new Circa fan, Descensus was the album that made me listen to the others. On Letting Go is my favorite hands down, but this is 100% an amazing piece of musical prowess. Do yourself a favor and listen to it front to back.

  94. A.... B....

    WHAT THE #%*@ JUST HAPPENED?!?! WERE THOSE BABIES!? WAS THAT GUY DEAD.... WAS THAT A #$*@)(IN CROW?!
