About This Track

'Banshee' by Loathe is a 2016 metal track from the album 'Prepare Consume Proceed'. The lyrics place the narrator in a claustrophobic, sleepless state, seeing something waiting in the corner of a room. Bodies and senses fail, panic surges, and the voice fixates on chains that bind by mind. There is a weary pivot towards acceptance, even as screaming seems futile, ending on a question that hangs in the air. One line crystallises the mood: “I cannot feel, I cannot move”.

"Banshee" is a track by Loathe, from the album Prepare Consume Proceed, released 7th July 2016. The track is 2:34 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Loathe.

Lyrics

Banshee

Wake me up
I see it in the corner of my room
I cannot feel, I cannot move
Panic shoots through these veins
I can't escape this, I can't escape this

These chains, bind me by mind
Acceptance is my only way out
Screaming won't help me now
Screaming won't save me now

Will this darkness be my fate?

An unshifting weight buries me
Buries me, it buries me

Haunted silent screams won't leave my mind
No matter how hard I try
Paralysed, unable to wake from this moment
(Moment, moment) oh, fuck this
Wake from this moment

I try to scream, but all of my prayers they go unanswered
I try to scream, but all of my prayers they go unanswered

Back and forth, my mind won't rest
Back and forth, my mind...
