Northlane - Ra Lyrics






I am the tear in the gravity,
The universal truth is my reality,
In a drifting space,
Where the dark draws near
I am stronger than fear
Collapse under the horizon
The ruins of a thousand stars
Illuminate who we are:
No drive
No direction
Purify
My perception
Sail on
Through the rift between the sky and ocean
Sail on
Find the peace that keeps your world in motion
Stare into the face of the sun
It melts away a shell of wax
To show the world how fucked I've become:
No drive
No direction
Purify my perception
There's a desert in my head,
But an oasis in my dreams
Where veins glow in leaves,
And illuminate the breeze
I will drag my being
To the edge of the beginning
Never still, never idle
Sever me from the endless spiral
Sail on
Through the rift between the sky and ocean
Sail on
Find the peace that keeps your world in motion
Lost inside a drifting space,
Where drifting days interlace
And everything I saw so clear,
Dances then disappears
I need to be grounded
But the plates keep shifting
So I look for my place
Where this space stops drifting

  1. A.... N....

    3 years later. I still like Node better than Mesmer. More aggressive. ;)

  2. z.... ....

    2:01 that pedal gawddamn

  3. C.... ....

    IM STRONGER THAN FEAR!!!

  4. C.... ....

    If not chorus, probably could've been the best Northlane song.

    C.... ....

    The chorus is weird but I like it for this reason, it's not even in 4/4 so yeah, it's something different, so it's great. Not my fav on the album, but still a great song !

  5. A.... C....

    feel fortunate to have bought this album . vraiment .

  6. z.... ....

    Loving that CYNIC touch outro.. some awesome material here

  7. A.... S....

    My favourite song of the album! That chorus is just 10/10

  8. Y.... ....

    I am the tear in the gravity
    The universal truth is my reality
    In a drifting space
    Where the dark draws near
    I am stronger than fear.

    Collapse under the horizon
    The ruins of a thousand stars
    Illuminate who we are:
    No drive
    No direction
    Purify
    My perception.

    Sail on
    Through the rift between the sky and ocean
    Sail on
    Find the peace that keeps your world in motion.

    Stare into the face of the sun
    It melts away a shell of wax
    To show the world how fucked I've become:

    No drive
    No direction
    Purify my perception.

    There's a desert in my head
    But an oasis in my dreams
    Where veins glow in leaves
    And illuminate the breeze.

    I will drag my being
    To the edge of the beginning
    Never still, never idle
    Sever me from the endless spiral.

    Sail on
    Through the rift between the sky and ocean
    Sail on
    Find the peace that keeps your world in motion.

    Lost inside a drifting space
    Where drifting days interlace
    And everything I saw so clear
    Dances then disappears.

    I need to be grounded
    But the plates keep shifting
    So I look for my place
    Where this space stops drifting.

  9. K.... L....

    the guitar tone in the beginning reminds me of young and undeserving by fit for a king

  10. W.... P....

    insane chills at 2:12

  11. m.... w....

    Fucking Nostalgia-core man..

  12. a.... l....

    northlane... first time i heard from them... i like the songs

  13. C.... F....

    Any other bands like this? I'm also into volumes and northlane.

  14. A.... ....

    new album kicks ass. not as beatdown as the previous ones but shit, still kicks ass.

  15. x.... m....

    This is the only song I like from this album I hope they can make more stuff like this in the future

  16. N.... O....

    the guitar reminds me of Tool a lil <3

    N.... O....

    nicole daven weightless reminds me of a perfect circle

  17. S.... O....

    The comment sections for Northlanes new songs are filled with the crappy opinions of people that for 1: can't accept that bands evolve and want to put different elements in their music, and 2. The message that Northlane have in all of their Music, both new and old. That hadn't changed, it's just presented in a different way now.

  18. X.... ....

    These voice. You are listenning the new singer Marc Chavez from ADEMA xD

  19. Q.... F....

    Fuck Yes! \m/

  20. G.... t....

    i hope they talk about peruvian mythologies like quetzacoatl too 5ds >> Duel Monsters

  21. J.... ....

    "Let us think of an edgy name the mETUL kids will love, how about, something unoriginal, like umm, an Egyptian God?" 

    "GREAT IDEA YEAH"

    J.... ....

    @Kawaii Imouto That's the whole point of my comment?? How would it be possible to write the theme for an album after the album is already released???

    J.... ....

    @TheQuackQuackLoRD I mean that they've been doing this kinda stuff since Singularity, also some of the lyrics actually tie into Ra's mythology, so I don't think it was just time trying to be edgy.

    J.... ....

    @Kawaii Imouto .... Your logic makes no sense. Why would they name a song Ra and NOT have lyrics about the mythology? I was referencing the whole song, not just the title. 

    J.... ....

    @TheQuackQuackLoRD "Let us think of an edgy name the mETUL kids will love" You were very unclear if you were referring to the lyrics/the song as a whole.

    J.... ....

    And  they would do that if they were trying to be edgy, like you said they were.

  22. H.... B....

    The guitars sound like a thunderstorm; love it.

  23. T.... ....

    FUCK that breakdown at 2:00 Its GREAT!

    T.... ....

    +Travis Onkst makes me wanna throw down every time I hear it.

  24. r.... k....

    The law of one?

  25. M.... D....

    There's a desert in my head,
    But an oasis in my dreams
    Where veins glow in leaves,
    And illuminate the breeze

  26. A.... T....

    favorite track off the album fo sho

  27. E.... S....

    I like the change of pace on this album. I guess there's a NL for any mood I'm in now!

  28. R.... A....

    Heaviest song of the album

  29. P.... G....

    This is the straight OG Northlane sound everyone knows and loves.

  30. L.... ....

    Northlane "purifies my erection" ;)

  31. H.... G....

    There's a lot of negativity surrounding the new stuff, but I think this is fantastic. I trusted northlane to write great, meaningful material, and they did!

    H.... G....

    True. (:

    H.... G....

    +Hank Grossen Only reason im a fan now!.. .

    H.... G....

    I agree, I just ordered this album offline. I couldn't find it within 200km near me

  32. A.... H....

    Obelisk? Ra? Yu-Gi-Oh core.

    A.... H....

    Besides the joke, autism is a serious deal, you shouldn't be treating others like if they were "autistic" as if being autistic is a disease or something terrible. Full of prejudice man, and yes you should know Egyptian culture, bye.

    A.... H....

    Nah, think about where yu-gi-oh got it from.

    A.... H....

    Northlane hates yugi and atem no slifer lol

    A.... H....

    You're a deadass uneducated dumbshit kid. Get the fuck out-of-here and hit the books.

  33. J.... W....

    Marcus vocals remind me of Jerry Roush, especially from his self titled with sky eats airplane. I was in love with that album just like I'm in love with this album!

  34. c.... r....

    Drums sounding more raw and real

    c.... r....

    First when I heard this song I disliked the sound but now I get what they were going for. The drums sound much more natural with less compression but the sound is still punchy!

    c.... r....

    its because they remixed/remastered all the songs. Its really really noticible on rot. Listen to the video version and then the album and its so so evident, in particular the bass. I wasn't too keen on the new sound pre release, but now I reckon it's great

  35. c.... r....

    Something heavy yay

  36. P.... K....

    You know an album is great when every single song has people saying 'best song on the album'. 10/10.

  37. V.... R....

    Way way way better than the version that was leaked.

    V.... R....

    You do realise that the band sent that out in an email to everyone who signed up to the mailing list? It wasn't a leak they released it

  38. c.... ....

    "There's a desert in my head,
    But an oasis in my dreams
    Where veins glow in leaves,
    And illuminate the breeze"

    I wholeheartedly disagree with people saying this album lacks lyrical genius. The way Marcus' cleans flow in this verse is fucking spectacular too

  39. T.... P....

    2:12 Marcus' voice gives me chills!

    T.... P....

    @Tommy Pickles thats my favourite part of the song man

  40. m.... m....

    Can somebody please tell me what the deal is with the triangles

    m.... m....

    @mitch martell geometricore

    m.... m....

    It's called Djent, son!

    m.... m....

    @mitch martell They broke through

  41. C.... �....

    Least favorite track on the album to be honest, but still solid.

  42. S.... ....

    From here on out, Northlane will be known as SpaceGroove

    S.... ....

    What the fuck? it just copied my message 3 times

    S.... ....

    +EternalDre@ms Omg.. xD

    S.... ....

    I say AndroidCore lol

  43. S.... T....

    Easily the heaviest song on the album

  44. R.... H....

    Will the album be released in South Africa

    R.... H....

    A physical release :) There's just some cd's i gotta have !

  45. d.... ....

    Definitely my favorite!

  46. G.... L....

    Such a good song! the atmosphere and everything is perfect

  47. W.... ....

    the singing part of this song really stops it from being the best song for me

    W.... ....

    @Warnerchild opposite for me. chorus is the best part.

    W.... ....

    @Warnerchild Same, it's one of my favorites on the album, but the chorus just feels out of place.

    W.... ....

    Chorus is the only bad part, the cleans @ 2:12 are fantastic though.

  48. Z.... F....

    Best song on the album

    Z.... F....

    @Zach Ferell You said it bro

    Z.... F....

    @Zach Ferell Leech too
