Lyrics

Nostalgia

We stepped up, we stepped down
The replacement is found
And the ______ falls around
And around and around
Hesitate and panic
When you look in his eye
The regret of your eyes
Of your eyes, of your eyes
Memories
(Step up)
Of better days
(One step in time)
Poor as dirt, but
Free as a bird
Memories
(Step down)
Of yesterday
(One step in time)
Pure as water
And innocent
Professor, assessor
Confessor, caresser
___________
You give up
And cannot comprehend all the things
________________
In your heart, in your head
On the tip of your tongue
Of your tongue, of your tongue
All you know
What you are
What you know
All you are
__________
__________
Give in
Give in
Give in
Give in
Your life
Your life

    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.
