Hippo Campus - Epitaph Lyrics

Guys, you have no idea how I love to listen to your songs.

Goosebumps. Everytime. Every song. Never fails

Your a dark one



With a knack of pushing boys off of cliffs

Thumbnail looks like Tom Holland

This song! They are all so talented! 🤗

It’s a nice song but for whatever reason it reminds me a lot of the time when I went down to Marlborough and I really miss those times so I can’t listen to the song without getting sad :(

The fact that this is my favorite song and they have yet to play it live again is tragic

sophia they played it live at their first Ave show in Minneapolis on their landmark tour

@Nathan Zillmer unfortunately i do not live in minneapolis

PLEASE PLAY EPITAPH LIVE AGAIN

This is so powerful

does anyone have the tabs for this?!?!

jake’s vocals really popped off!!

can someone explain the lyrics?

This is happiness

Ooooh 1:39 go off whis

this band should be called "The twinks"

do they do international shows

Absolutely magical.

trumpet adds something to the song that hits me good.

Oh Doppio, he's gonna puke out razor blades

Their music makes sweet love to my ears down by the fire.

i met jake after their okc show last fall and he told me he’d try and play epitaph for me next time they come to oklahoma. they have a show in tulsa this month and i’ll be in the crowd waiting for this song to play :-)

jesus why am i crying?? lol

i really love this song ahhhh

Iloveyousomuch!!!!

i’m binging all their videos right now (idk why i haven’t done this sooner) and this song always makes me cryyyy for some reason so here we goooo

tabs anyone?

The way he comes in with that first line. ugh! beautiful

This is so Beautiful 💕💕💕💕

Mixer deserves all the money in the world

14 people disliked this?!?!?!

searching and searching - oh where oh where is the Love key ? <3

whoever the 17 people who disliked this video, I​ just wanna talk...

What kinda guitar is that?

man this is fucking beautiful

tangina ang pogi

i'm scared to listen to this song because i dont want to lose the feeling of hearing epitaph for the first time since i've only heard good great things about it :"))))

Nathan's guitar is sexy

Nathan and Espo are beautiful

I'm blind and afraid
The colors of this sound like a shape
The feast of words you never could say
And I'm torn apart
In the sun, there is red
The epitaph of an old record player
The sweetness in the salt of her hair
And there's no decision
I knew a girl once
There were splinters from her thoughts
Unless you knew a god
With kindness in her heart
You're a dark one
With a knack for pushing boys off a cliff
And the messy eyes of ink-splattered fits
And it's all found in a page
I need nothing more than my problems
Just let me know when you've found them
You've got mirth and I've got snow hands
Eyes fell and haven't come up since
Mary
Dare me, scare me
Oh Mary
I know a place out beyond these pines
Where the sky falls down with the cumulus cries
A winter song for a January type
I could tame my heart
I could blind my eyes
The river is an organ
And the meadow is a church
For a strange inclination
That fortune is a curse
I'm a cryptic writer
I'm an ignorant fool
I'm a poor excuse for poetry
Trying to play it cool
I'm just trying to play it cool
I need nothing more than my problems
Just let me know when you've found them
You've got tact and I've got bravado
I'm a ghost and you are a shadow
I need nothing more than my problems
Just let me know when you've found them
You've got mirth and I've got snow hands
Eyes fell and haven't come up since
Mary
Dare me, scare me
Oh Mary

Oh my god! Lifesaver! Thanks so much!!

I swear their live performances always sound way better!!

Hey just wanna say this is still the greatest thing I’ve ever seen/heard in my entire life so thanks

This is one of these songs that just like, makes everything feel right the first time you hear it

This song sounds so sad but yet so comforting.

I though it was a King Crimson cover, lol. WTF IS THIS?

Shit, apparently.

I’ve never heard Epitaph live until now and I’m officially sobbing

3:54 best line

The electric guitarist is awesome. The lead singer sings with so much emotion. And everything is just perfect.

Come to Manila please.

You have a Colombian FAN guys, you are a young talent boys... very very nice !! greetings from Colombia Latin America !! hope can see you one day !!

i'm a ghost and you are a shadow~

This song is so beautiful 💗

I'm blind and afraid
The colors of this sound like a shape
The feast of words you never could say
And I'm torn apart
In the sun, there is red
The epitaph of an old record player
The sweetness in the salt of her hair
And there's no decision
I knew a girl once
There were splinters from her thoughts
Unless you knew a god
With kindness in her heart
You're a dark one
With a knack for pushing boys off a cliff
And the messy eyes of ink-splattered fits
And it's all found in a page
I need nothing more than my problems
Just let me know when you've found them
You've got mirth and I've got snow hands

Oh Mary

Mary
Dare me, scare me
Oh Mary

this is drug. to keep me chill.

Katie Zarembinski What a beautiful comment. 🌺😍

What is the the guy playing the trumpet called? He is so good and I've seen him in a few of the bands videos

DeCarlo Jackson. He went to high school with them and played in one of their high school bands called Northern. He went to collage a few years before playing with them in other cities.

This is probably my favorite song by you guys 😭♥️
