About This Track

‘Holier’ by ††† (Crosses) is a 2022 track from the album ‘PERMANENT.RADIANT’. Its lyrics set up a tense standoff between destruction and survival, with the speaker positioning themselves as both participant and witness, circled in the fire as an uneasy sway begins. A second verse turns to “the holy exchange”, presenting a performed spirituality that frames secrets and desires. Throughout, the repeated denial undercuts any certainty, leaving the overall impression urgent, defensive, and volatile.

"Holier" is a track by ††† (Crosses), from the album PERMANENT.RADIANT, released 9th December 2022. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about ††† (Crosses).

Lyrics

Holier

[Verse 1]

While you're destroying all that remains

I'm circled in the fire as we begin to sway

We're outrunning machines

(Denied, denied, denied)

We are the source in between

(Denied, denied, denied)

[Verse 2]

While you're performing the holy exchange

Your secrets and desires and our world begins to sway

We're outrunning machines

(Denied, denied, denied)

We are the source in between

(Denied, denied, denied)

[Chorus]

Permanent.Radiant

Excellent view of

The various entities

That you surround with

Permanent.Radiant

Excellent view of

The various entities

That you surround with

[Verse 3]

While you're destroying all that remains

I'm circled in the fire as we begin to sway

We're outrunning machines

(Denied, denied, denied)

We are the source in between

(Denied, denied, denied)

[Chorus]

Permanent.Radiant

Excellent view of

The various entities

That you surround with

Permanent.Radiant

Excellent view of

The various entities

That you surround with

[Outro]

Permanent.Radiant

Excellent view of

The various entities

That you surround with

Permanent.Radiant

Excellent view of

The various entities

That you surround with
