Cursive - Devourer
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
Lyrics
Out cold, run over by the boulder of Sisyphus Doesn't it seem to get a bit repetitive? Over and over and over again You got clean, climbing up that hill was an impressive feat To think of all the demons you had to jockey Just to see that boulder bounding! Double dead - the first time was your worst mistake This second one should take the cake
And smear it all over the mirror! Out cold, cozy in the mausoleum of your home Dozing to the shuffle of a metronome ticking out of time - I-I-I'm, I-I-I'm, uh-uh, I'm a devil, I'm an angel I'm whichever shoulder you've been glancing over The boulder's getting closer, it can't be outrun Time to take your medicine! Double dead - you and me have got history
You and me have got symmetry Two sides of the same loin Double dead - I'm the shears that Samson feared I'm the whisper in your ear - Now, be a good little boy and do as you're told Let's hit the road One for the money, two for your head Double dead!
Double dead - the first time was so innocent, This second one is insolent. Double dead - you and me, we've got history, But no real future I can see.

From Dork
'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.
For nearly 30 years, Tim Kasher and co. have challenged genre conventions, keeping Cursive's sound fiercely unpredictable.
Indie-rock stalwarts Cursive are back with their first album in six years. With society falling apart around us, it's a suitably vitriolic reaction to the state of the world.
‘Vitriola’ bubbles and boils with anger and simmers with regret and futility.
