Thrice - The Weight Lyrics

Loyalty over love is a fight we as a race are still debating

Space has many gauntlets, a warriors way is more and more obstacles as the weight becomes so heavy with no end in site being the ever haunting piece

holymoly...

One of my favorite album

One of my favorite songs the lyrics are amazing

this song was the first song i heard by thrice, and it made my dad cry.
the reason my father always cries at this song is because my mother cheated on him for a very long time. he was devastated when she told him they would soon get divorced.
the lyrics have meaning. many people don’t realise how many lyrics can hit home.
“And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.”
this represents that despite the fact my mother cheated, my father would always love her. and they were divorced about 8 years ago. he isn’t over her.
i recently saw thrice live and my dad got choked up when they played a few songs, especially daedalus. because thrice can mean more than just rock music to listen to. thrice is one of my favorite bands now, thanks to my father.

Awesome song ..

OH I LOVE TOOL >:l

true love is a choice you must make and you are the one

Funny how this song managed to relate so well with me :p
(Warning, this one is a long, personal history)
I had a girlfriend for 4 years.
She broke up with me, and even though my thoughts about love are different (in sync with this masterpiece) I feel she was reasonable and understanding with me.
Anyway, the lyrics in this song are a mirror of my feelings and how I acted toward her.
I felt like my love to her wasn't only about that initial flame, even though it was there I knew it would probably fade, the human mind works like that, we get excited with new things and eventually get used to them, which leads to indifference.
I never gave her up though, my love was truly a "loyalty sworn".
I never even thought about betraying her, not once. I would look at other girls, I would have that "she's cute" thought about some passerby or some friend but even when I was angry or felt unsure about my relationship, even with all the hardships, the thought of being with another person was non-existent.
And I had opportunities!
I had beautiful girls that might have given me things she didn't, things I wanted, but I wouldn't have it another way.
I was 100% committed to that girl, and I really believed I would spend my life by her side, and even though I somehow managed to get over it and tried once (another one that broke up recently 😂) to move on, I still think that the girl I spent 4 years with is the ideal woman.
The only regrets I have is not being able to keep the promise I made her, because I was and probably I am still not the ideal man for her.
And even though I am a hypocrite who says I am happy as long as she's alright, I still and probably will forever miss being by her side.

probably because I have been in 4 year relationship...and not being the ideal man for her. but sometimes thst is beyond us.we must only find someone whose tastes and desires coincide with what we offer.

Thrice FTW

AND COME WHAT MAY!!!! I WONT ABANDON YOU OR LEAVE YOU BEHIND!!! The same words I sing to my son, I promised him I would never abandoned him, like my father did me!

Fuckin' amazing!

Simply great!

This might as well be a U2 song :)
I love both bands so this is great!

this song deserves more views and likes.

I don't remember what brought me here... But that's doesn't matter anymore.

One of my favorite songs EVER.

Same here, this is absolutely amazing <3

My sister was like hey you should learn this one song on guitar and when I heard I was like hmm that wasn't bad. 4 years have passed and I've been obsessed with this band. For two years straight, Thrice was the only band you could find on my mp3. I would listen to them everyday. I still love them just as much. They are the reason I have a passion for anything let alone a passion for music. And to think it was this one song that started it all

Ive been listening to them since 2001!! Indentity crisis!!

Fez @vhe1ssu just discovered the band! Quite a revelation to me!

Fez @vhe1ssu dude I’m on 🥁 s and learnt this and u have it ez drums at so much harder also don’t nag about it I know it’s two years ago but I still love to write on old comments just to see a reaction and if you don’t want to write back it’s 👌

great comment man, Thrice is my life too

They're dropping new material here and there from epitaph records....hope you're still following, fam

Reminds me of Tool

rawNASkills YES OMG searched for this comment

And that's my error for not being really clear in the beginning. I meant to say "...plenty of song titles..."

There's plenty of songs that pertain to multiple artists. Do people really care? Absolutely not. Sorry, just thought I'd defend one of the best underground bands of our time.

I felt like replying because I have an MLP picture too. :D

And the manliest.

Thanks Juan....your choice of words says all I need to know about you.

This band naming a song The Weight is blasphemy and cheap. The real song The Weight is one of the best songs in history and this is an insult to it. Garbage compared to the real one.

Shut the fuck up, you pompous ass.

Gacho bro I feel for u _ and I've loved this song for like months already ,I should sing this to my ex :/

Well fuck my life :D she left me.

Her response to this being our song ";3 its perfect"

Ive loved thrice for fucking so long, fuck me for neglecting to listening to this album! FUUCK. all well, its added in with my already deep love for thrice lol. showing my girlfriend this song, found our song we were looking for

Me me me me! Pick me! I won't leave you hanging on! I won't abandon you or leave you behind! c:

You're listening to a Vagrant Records advance promotional stream.

randomerrror to this day, I ALWAYS hear this, especially during doublespeak 😂

People like this do not exist in my world... This is the planet of no one gives a damn.

EEEEYYYYEEE Can't Stand It!
I Know You Planned It!
But I'm Gonna Set It Strai... wait, what?

Your profile picture makes me obliged to believe you.

And storms will surely come,
But true love is a choice you must make
And you're the one that I have set my heart to choose.
As long as I live, I swear I'll see this through<3

this song is sooo god damn beautiful!!!

I could cry

"Come what may"?

That gives some awful imagery otherwise

When i heard this live i literally felt such a mix of emotion. I physically cannot describe how much it meant to see them perform live

this song is beautiful god damn

WOW. THEYRE GREAT!! <33
