Icebreakers

From The Difference Between Houses and Homes (Lost Songs and Loose Ends 1995-2001)2005

Lyrics

Icebreakers

A right at the light It's the long way home But we've got a long time to kill Before our guts are gutted Of bad blood they've spilled I left on the light Directions won't make sense to unsensing eyes I've such insensitive eyes I'm so fucking blind Aren't I? Or so it seems But we just can't see anything Past our sight Or frames of mind Our senses are snowblind They've left us cold and crippled Unwilling to reveal our bludgeoned egos Turn off the light This conversation's over The verdict has arrived There's no communication When we're too deaf to hear opposing sides These eyes have no sight past my mind These senses are so blind They've left me cruelly crippled Encased within the ego Frozen ego Keep driving Past the light Keep driving Out of mind Out of sight

Cursive on Dork

Cursive - Devourer

'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.

No genre, no problem: Cursive's decades-long musical defiance

For nearly 30 years, Tim Kasher and co. have challenged genre conventions, keeping Cursive's sound fiercely unpredictable.

Cursive: "When I'm wagging the finger at others, I'm also wagging the finger at myself"

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.

Cursive - Vitriola

‘Vitriola’ bubbles and boils with anger and simmers with regret and futility.
