Northlane - Animate Lyrics

La mejor

This song really moves me, stuck on repeat 😬

I can't believe this song.

Nice, nice, nice... very niiiiice!!!!!!

The clean guitar part in the middle of the song reminds me a bit of "Darling" by Casey.

This song is a fucking masterpiece.

I've never been a big Northlane listener, but this record is really solid.

3 years later. No band has moved me like this one. 😓

Nice outro

I love how the lyrics seem to be hinting at transhumanism and how it's probably not a great idea to be messing with the "blueprint". This band seem like some awake individuals.

Please someone make it with lyrics showing in the video

So I used to pretty much dislike this album because of how different it is from what got me into them (Singularity). But I never give up that quick, I always see what bands are doing new. Seeing where they are today and listening to this again for the first time in years, has given me a new respect beyond anything any other band I’ve listened to puts out. They said fuck it, and did their thing, and stuck with it. And they kick ass at doing it. What I’m trying to say is Marcus, nic, and other members I can’t think of right now, thank you. For being an inspiration. Your music has truly influenced my life.

masterpiece

wow, this album is epic.

True inspirations guys! Very much enjoy this track 🌮🙏

I wish mesmer was more like node

Reminds me of COD zombies

IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FUCKING SONG FOR AGES

Everyone beating on either Marcus or Adrian. I like them both, anyone else.

Without doubt the best song on the album

boqer123 fucking legend.

haha saw that

"NOW LET'S FUCK"

This is how you end an album.

The narrow road is all I know
No map to guide us
No compass beside us
The narrow road
The great unknown
The greater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life

No more assembly lines of aspirations connecting carbon copy clones
Every artifact is marching like commodities of flesh and bone

The consistency of our censored thoughts
Tread a static course

Ordinary people: your outlook is lethal

Chiseling away imperfections
Until rough edges are same and smooth
The tools have now become too blunt
To break any of the rules

Post-modern minds bleached blank and clean
Drawing pixelated lines
In duller shades that my eyes have ever seen

The narrow road is all I know
No map to guide us
No compass beside us
The narrow road
The great unknown
The grater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life

No more assembly lines of aspirations connecting carbon copy clones
Every artifact is marching like commodities of flesh and bone

Post-modern minds bleached blank and clean
Drawing pixelated lines
In duller shades that my eyes have ever seen

We're not defined by a blueprint if we re-write the plans
So will you paint paradise with the stroke of an artist's hand?

Song literally brings tears to my eyes by the end. Listen and absorb the lyrics. Feel the power of the instrumentals. Incredible song.

Holy shit lyrics.

I love this fucking song

so what meaning have people perceived for this song?

+Daanish Rashid It's about a society which slowly blends everything into a homogeneous mass. Cultures fade and people start living 'accordingly'.

pitch black hand cream

This is so much better than their first 2 albums

The whole thing wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be. If you told me this was Northlane and I didn't know beforehand tho, I would have laughed in your face. I see almost no resemblance to either previous album, but this is good in its own way certainly

I'll give them 9.10

Thank goodness youtube is a thing. it makes it so much easier to find artists you like and know your music tastes.

Every song is written with a very deep emotion. Feel it or leave it.

Can't people just enjoy the music and not complain that it's gotten "softer"?

1:14 "The consistent tear bart simpsons thoughts, tread out static chords"

wow this is really good. i could have sworn i heard them before and didn't like them

I listen to northlane because there heavy but technically interesting and there earlier pieces engaged me but most of this is just dull I hate to say it but they sold out

Hooked second listen , this make me happy.

All of their songs great i love it tho

69.000 subs XDDDD

great song :) northlane4lyfe

Definitely my favorite album from them so far.. such great drumming as well

Yeah it's a good album just don't like the long drawn out bits thinking they are going somewhere but they go now where

Loving this album!

this is amazing..

Why does it feel like I've heard a similar sounding of this song at the end from a different band.

Gotta say this album and Oceans Ate Alaskas is like a total new build for the metalcore/prog setting. It's amazing what a turn in direction can do to bands. I'll always love Discoveries and Singularity but this tops them. (My Opinion)

The drumming in all the songs is amazing also the lycris which makes the album very unexpected like many thought after the singer was changed.

I LOVE THIS SONG ITS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM NODE AND UGH I REALLY LIKE THE ALBUM ITS GREAT AND PEOPLE NEED TO STOP SAYING ITS SHIT JUST CAUSE ITS "NEW NORTHLANE"

Best song on the album imo although it is hard to pick.

God how this is growing on me

Best song on the album

The first thing that I think of when I listen to this song is that old 90 's song
"So take, these broken wings. And learn to fly again"
Pretty damn nostalgic

post-djent... just kiddin boys dont kill me

One of the best Northlane songs ever. The atmosphere the vocals create during the chorus is amazing.

This is one of those bands that just skipped through the cracks and everyone was just like ahh alright then I guess. I guess maybe its just me but I hope this band gets hit by a car and all there gear gets donated to a group of real metalhead kids that will then start an epic ass American metal band that can actually play

I dig it. Just seems like a lot of bands have a similar vical sound to peripherys voicalist Spencer. Periphery is all ya need. Lol. That is a voice of angels.

This is my FAVORITE song of the album, anyone else agrees? :) <3

Thoughtful and well presented analysis by Chuck's d.c. Inclined to agree!

Great way to end the album, still liked Leech and Impulse the most though. So happy the way this album turned out.

Fucking amazing.

I started listening to NL by accident roughly two months ago and absolutely fell in love with them.

Today I found out NL came out with a new album I was so fucking excited I have been listening to their first two albums on repeat 24/7.

Dude I can save linkin park, I'll take this P O S album back in time to Chester before minutes to midnight is released! And then we can get the final form!

@Susan Nielsen wtf is that final part and how does one accidently start listening to Northlane

This album is great an' all (don't get me wrong) but some of these comments are stuffy as shit. "Let's compliment this album by essentially calling their others shit." and, "I'm an intelligent mature adult hardcore-fan I am so glad that this is an intelligent mature adult hardcore-album to satiate my extremely sophisticated "higher" tastes." like please, get fucked.

"We're not defined by a blueprint if we re-write the plan.
So will you paint paradise with the stroke of an artist's hand."

I get chills everytime I hear this song end.

Honestly. There are a lot of things about this band that I still love. But for me, its mostly my love for how they can evolve and adapt instrumentally. I've listened to enough of this album to solidify my opinion. I just don't enjoy Marcus. To each their own. Good bye Northlane. Thank you for everything, stay happy.

This is probably the best song I have heard in quite a while from any band in this scene, and I was amazed by Earthwalker/Skydancer and all of Northlane's previous works with Adrian. With that being said: Like it or not, these guys have succeeded tremendously doing what they love and no one commenting here is gonna take that from them. They already had a strong foothold, now I think they are really gonna start to shine! Much love Northlane \m/

And on top of that, they even spelled it out for everyone with this song..."no maps to guide us, no compass beside us"...."We're not defined by a blue print if we rewrite the plans."...they aren't following any guidelines set for them by a record label or the genre in general...they're doing what feels right to them and going where it takes them.

"The greater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life."

In hearts wake is garbage the were good when divination came out I even seen them 4 times on that album cycle but earthwalker is an embarrassment in comparison

Animate, Animate, The voice making Sam wanna masturbate
and sleep in it..

Northlane's music will always be on point, but idk this new guy just ruins it for me D: ADRIAAAAN HAHA

wow and marc morin has a point a few northlane songs while taking transit has just like punched me in the face with emotions. Northlane's just getting better

Best Song on the Album, beautiful chorus

This song is so sick

Easily the best song on the album! <3

R.I.P Northlane. Gone is the energy, here comes the pop vocals.

Ordinary People : your outlook is lethal

I'm sure if you listen to the album in a car or from a better source than YouTube, you'll find that the heavy parts pop out way more that way.

@FantaFuture92 Pop vocals? man I can understand if you're not a fan of their new sound, but the dude straight kills it on the cleans.

@FantaFuture92 Fuck off this song and album are incredible

@FantaFuture92 so if someone isn't screaming continuously throughout a song it automatically becomes pop?

Best song on the album <3

this album really really takes me to another world... amazing...just amazing. love it

We're not defined by a blueprint if we re-write the plans
So will you paint paradise with the stroke of an artist's hand

Rise records awlays fucks up good bands

Omg not this shit again, Rise Records is ONLY a tool for distribution in America, that is all. The band ultimately decides their sound.

lol true rise records always killing my favorite bands

This album is just a whole bunch of nothing. No songs stick out, the guitars have little to no variety, and Marcus is just a pandering vocalist. This whole goddamn album is just pandering to the highest possible amount of people, losing the unique sound the band once had.

@havoren Yeah, no, becoming like every other generic metalcore band is not experimenting. I didn't want them to stay the same. I wanted them to actually evolve, to have better and better riffs (not monotonous chugging(, more dynamics in the vocals (not just Marcus's one sided roughs and one sided cleans). Going from Erra's Impulse to Augment. 

@havoren Again, monotonous chugging is what generic metalcore is. I was also praising Augment, not insulting. 

The feels at the end. I can't be alone in this!!!

I cannot hear the naysayers over the sound of this song.

I'm pleasantly surprised

I'm just going to say it:

Discoveries > Node > Singularity

I feel like Marcus is heavily influenced by Sky Eats Airplane. I hear so much resemblance in their vocal styles!

My first time listening to Northlane- I like it!

Only one thing to say.....

ORDINARY PEOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! (*Headbangs until eventually elevates into the singularity*)

Boorring

That outro though.... Bad ass!

Here's my review:

When I'm in the gym, I'm going to listen to Singularity.

For everything else, there is Node.

I cant live in this dream, wandering the world a lost SOUULL

Conspiracy Cat pro tip:
listen to discoveries in the gym

Why not just listen to every song you find good of them.

now alien ;)

i miss adrian :( it´s not northlane anymore

I honestly can't choose between Node and Singularity, but fortunately I don't even have to

What about node and discoveries?

Resembles Aspire so much, best song on the album imo

Animate and Node are definitely mah favess

Northlane is just a solid band. Different than anything on the previous albums. But Marcus has better clean vocals than unclean. Nothing will top Singularity :-]

The ending of this song is amazing..

Aayy I'm warming to Marcus. This album is killer!

Best song hands down !!! My bonar approves
