1998년 캘리포니아에서 결성 2001년 <Identity Crisis>로 데뷔한 4인조 Emo-Core 밴드 Thrice. The Get Up Kids와 함께 원시 Emo-Core의 형태를 완성한 Emo-Core의 조상님(?)이란 평가와 국내외 Punk/Emo-Core 애호가들의 아낌없는 지지를 받으며 두터운 팬 층을 형성하고 있다. 초창기 인디 앨범은 헤비한 사운드를 강조한 스크리모 장르에 가까웠으나, Thrice 최고 명반으로 손꼽히는 메이저 데뷔 앨범 <The Artist In The Ambulance>를 기점으로 스케이트 펑크와 뉴 스쿨 하드코어를 결합한 특유의 색채를 완성, 많은 언론에서 이들을 The Used, Finch와 비교 하기도 했다. <The Artist In The Ambulance>의 대성공 이후 솔직하게 말해 조금 실망스러운 행보를 걸어 온Thrice. 다시 한번 롱런을 위한 변화를 시도하며 새롭게 선보이는 정규앨범 <Major/Minor>은 그간 온 몸에 잔뜩 들어갔던 힘을 살짝 누그러뜨리고, 데뷔 10년 차의 내공, 30대에 들어 선 시점에서 음악에 대한 새로운 시선을 담아 이전과는 다른 형태의 중량감을 표현해 냈다. .... ....
I was always one of the righteous Never lived outside of the lines Kept a close watch on the white wash Disguising the dead bones inside Disguising the dead bones inside I was always one the good ones Keeping tabs on everyone else Sure that I was One of the chosen I was a child of hell I was a child of hell But you buried me in the bright light Yeah you held my eyes to the sun till I could see that That I was worse than I ever feared I could be But somehow I was loved more than I ever dared to believe Because of you I was always one of the blameless Or at least that's what I believed I never thought I could have been blinded Until I could no longer see Until I could no longer see But you buried me in the bright light Yeah you held my eyes to the sun till I could see That I was worse than I ever feared I could be But somehow I was loved more than I ever dared to believe you show me I was worse than I ever feared I could be But somehow I was loved more than I ever dared to believe Because of you
Our life’s built of tin cans and string But the cornerstone laid is a wondrous and beautiful thing sure in the ground And while the North wind has taken its toll you have helped me to find my way back and to anchor my soul safe in the sound O you know me O and I know you and I know that we can see this through I bragged of baring my bones said if we heard the howling I'd run out to face it alone to meet it half way But I've still got badges to earn so keep sifting my soul ‘cause I think that I'm starting to learn to love you that way O you know me O and I know you and I know that we can see this through And it's true that you could snap my neck but I trust you'll save my life instead ‘cause our love is a loyalty sworn If we hold to our hope then I know we can weather the storm whatever they say Come what may O you know me O and I know you and I know that we can see this through
I've seen his ragged shoes The soles are worn straight through Well I proclaimed The king has sang the blues If you've got better news Then make it play He laid aside his crown All our crimes he carried Was lifted from the ground With our burdens buried Listen to me Though I speak of sober things Listen through me Though we're men of lips unclean I speak truly What you only think you've heard Everything Everything Everything hangs on a word Sparing no expense He made recompense For all the earth The story's an offense So get down from that fence And bless or curse He laid aside his crown All our crimes he carried Was lifted from the ground With our burdens buried The shadows all had flown In the light diminished He emptied out his lungs Crying it is finished Listen to me Though I speak of sober things Listen through me Though we're men of lips unclean I speak truly What you only think you've heard Everything Everything Everything hangs on a word A word The shadows all had flown In the light diminished He emptied out his lungs Crying it is finished Listen to me Though I speak of sober things Listen through me Though we're men of lips unclean I speak truly What you only think you've heard Everything Everything Everything hangs on a word
Standing knee deep in cold water swiftly moving somehow I knew I'd lost something Wading waist deep I saw a book there in the river waiting for me to find it there I tried to read it neck deep treading water but the tide it pulled me out to sea Then with water in my eyes the words began to rise from their place They were beautiful and dread I reached for them and fed on each phrase They were honey on my lips but then a bitter twist in my side I knew they'd lay me in my grave Is there no one who can save me I cried Sinking down deep through cold water and heavy silence shadows stirring in the gloom What things that lay sleeping down deep in the darkness woke then to find me in that tomb Then with water in my eyes the words began to rise from their place They were beautiful and dread I reached for them and fed on each phrase They were honey on my lips but then a bitter twist in my side I knew they'd lay me in my grave Is there no one who can save me I cried And when I lost all hope to look someone took that heavy book From my hands all its weight they set aside after they had satisfied its demands I felt white and black reverse and the lifting a curse from my heart Then like one receiving sight I beheld a brilliant light in the dark
The shutter opens never closes I am lost waylaid in light trails Endless moments overlaid and burned across A melee of scattered braille This image is a night terror transforming Without the hope of morning My nemesis I feel it coming for me and it means to destroy me Why does this keep happening I try to close my eyes but I can't blink And the world keeps moving on black and white blur into one Hieroglyphic indecipherable opaque the meaning escapes me Dry and lidless are my eyes Asleep awake reading the slurred debris This image is a night terror transforming Without the hope of morning My nemesis I feel it coming for me and it means to destroy me Why does this keep happening I try to close my eyes but I can't blink And the world keeps moving on black and white blur into Why does this keep happening I try to close my eyes but I can't blink And the world keeps moving on black and white blur into one
All my life, I've been treading paper in the space between the words. And there implied is that I'm but another body for the birds, carrion, absurd and accidental atoms - Beating air, carrying on; unwitting orphan of an unyielding despair.
But linger on, just for a moment, until we can ascertain if something's wrong with me - Or the assumptions of these self-indicted brains. Because I contend that all of this is more than just a meaningless charade, That each and every moment is a bottle with a message hid away.
If anything means anything, There must be something meant for us to be, a song that we were made to sing. There must be so much more than we can see.
But all our lives, we've been treading paper in the space between the words. And there implied's the thought that we are barely more than bodies for the birds, carrion. They say that we're just accidental atoms beating air, carrying on and on, Unwitting orphans of an unyielding despair. But our hearts tell a different story; our hands feel a different pulse.
Something fathomless, deeper than our pride can dive; numinous, higher than - Our hearts can rise, transcendent, further than our thoughts can reach; imminent, closer than the air we breathe.
A coin tossed into the air will come down It will come down somewhere Your life is a coin in the air It will come down it will come down somewhere Every coin does ring Every coin will fall Stop your wavering Now's the time so call it out A coin in the air it will come down It will come down somewhere Every coin does ring Every coin will fall Stop your wavering Now's the time so call it in the air You have to choose And what you stand to lose you've been putting up all of your life Call it in my hand Only one way to see what the outcome will be Call it out before we lose the light No more stalling no delay You must call it out by light of day Every coin does ring Every coin will fall Stop your wavering Now's the time so call it in the air You have to choose And what you stand to lose you've been putting up all of your life Call it in my hand Only one way to see what the outcome will be Call it out before we lose the light So heads or tails There's nothing for it so put an end to your sidestepping Is it heads or tails You can't ignore it You stand to win or lose everything Heads or tails let's put an end to your sidestepping Heads or tails You stand to win or lose everything
Cut these thorns and kick these stones, and keep those birds at bay. Plant deep and dark, and help my heart receive the words you say.
The words you say are somehow lost on me, they die on deafened ears; when you open - Up your mouth to speak I hear but I can't hear the words you say.
Pin me down, and take away this heart of stone, wind and sound, awake my old dry bones.
Help my heart perceive the light of day. I stumble through a darkened vale, with a veil - Cast over me and cataracts, all is black. O, I see but I can't see the light of day.
I'll fight or run to keep from going under the knife; don't let me slip away. 'Cause though the blade is sharp, I know you're saving my life; don't let me slip away.
O we promise pretty things And we pledge with diamond rings We profess undying love But does that word hold any weight When we reserve the right to break Any vow that draws our blood Our word is so faint and feeble Broken by the slightest breeze or breath Our hearts are they're so deceitful Sick and filled with lies That lead to death We are cowards and thieves Will we never turn to grieve The damage done Never see Never quake with rage At what we have become What we have become Yeah we get down on we knee O we play at chivalry But we do not count the cost We say On Me you can depend And I will be there 'till the end Though we will not bear the cross Our word is so faint and feeble Broken by the slightest breeze or breath Our hearts are they're so deceitful Sick and filled with lies That lead to death We are cowards and thieves Will we never turn to grieve The damage done Never see Never quake with rage At what we have become What we have become Cowards and thieves Will we never turn to grieve The damage done Never see Never quake with rage At what we have become What we have become Cowards and thieves Will we never turn to grieve The damage done Never see Never quake with rage At what we have become What we have become
You were built for blessing But you only make them bleed You don’t care you don’t care And bruises are but shadows Of the blackness that you breed But you don’t care you don’t care The light that's left inside their eyes is darkened day by day But you don’t care you don’t care Your presence pulls the color From the world til all is grey But you don’t care you don’t you don’t you don’t you don't You're less than half a man Yellow belly and crimson hands You will one day reap your reckoning Maybe then you’ll understand Hands are made to comfort But they only conjure fear But you don’t care you don’t care She’s in the closet praying Lord please get me out of here You don’t care you don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t You're less than half a man Yellow belly and crimson hands You will one day reap your reckoning Maybe then you’ll understand You're less than half a man Yellow belly and crimson hands You will one day reap your reckoning Maybe then you’ll understand What mercy have they known From you from you To ask that it be shown To you to you What mercy have they known From you from you To ask that it be shown To you to you
the blue light spills like oceans we smile and let it in it cures us of our questions like hoods on peregrine
knowledge locked in a tower barons will hold the key but if knowledge is power, know this is tyranny all we're asking for is what's ours
you think they're selling you truth, truth is, they're selling you out truth is, they're selling you out
the black ink fuels our notions that all the facts are in it cures us of our questions like hoods on peregrine
knowledge locked in a tower barons will hold the key but if knowledge is power, know this is tyranny
all we're asking for is what's ours
you think they're selling you truth but they're just selling you and if we keep buying in the line between lies and truth will wear paper thin, paper thin
you think they're selling you truth, the truth is, they're selling you out
Paper Tigers 작곡:Dustin Kensrue,Eddie Breckenridge,Riley Breckenridge,Teppei Tranishi
They preach to the choir, always in the permanent daylight They toss paper tigers from their perfect porcelain skylines
Listen for the sound (for the sound, for the sound) as it all comes crashing down (as it all comes crashing down) [x2]
They preach to the choir, Always in the permanent daylight They toss paper tigers from their perfect, shatterproof spires
They light the world on fire, just to watch it burn it'll be their funeral pyre, but they never seem to learn [x2]
Listen for the sound (for the sound, for the sound), as it all comes crashing down (as it all comes crashing down) [x2]
And we paid the price, we paid for their crimes with our blood, with our blood, with our blood, with our blood Paid with our blood and our lives, with our blood and our lives, with our blood and our lives with our blood and our lives, with our blood and our lives....
Stare At The Sun 작곡:Dustin Kensrue,Eddie Breckenridge,Riley Breckenridge,Teppei Tranishi
I sit here clutching uselessness keys from doors that don't exist I crack my teeth on pearls
tear into the history show me what it means to me in this world, yeah in this world
because I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight, into the sun and I won't close my eyes until I understand or go blind
seen the parts but not the whole studied saints and scholars both And no perfect plan unfolds do I trust my heart or just my mind why is truth so hard to find, in this world, yea in this world
because I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight, into the sun and I won't close my eyes until I understand or go blind
know that there're a point I've missed father stone I haven't kissed a sky that never graced my wrist a mirror hasn't left my fist but I can't help Feeling like I'm
feeling like I'm due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight, into the sun and I wont close my eyes due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes
one day the dreamers died within us when all our answers never came we hid the truth beneath our skin but our shadows never looked the same
a ghost is all that's left of everything we swore we never would forget we tired to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead we are the dead
and when we couldn't stop the bleeding we held our hearts over the flame we couldn't help but call it treason after that we couldn't fill our frames after that our shadows never looked the same
a ghost is all that's left of everything we swore we never would forget we tried to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead we are the dead
in summers past we'd challenge fate with higher pitch and perfect aim and standing fast, we'd radiate a light we loved but never named but the answers never came and our shadows never looked the same
a ghost is all that's left of everything we swore we never would forget we tried to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead we are the dead
a ghost of everything we though but never said we tried to bleed the sickness but we drained our hearts instead
we are the ones who lost our faith we dug ourselves an early grave we are the dead, can we be saved?
Under A Killing Moon 작곡:Dustin Kensrue,Eddie Breckenridge,Riley Breckenridge,Teppei Tranishi
the air my lungs first loved carves craters from my eyes they said "breathe deeply son or be the next to die"
Beneath the falling night and heaven's shutting gate pray keep your tongue held tight or suffer the same fate
the blood on our black gloves it is none of your concern if you want to call our bluff get in line and wait your turn and watch the witches burn"
Don't flinch when innocents are dancing with the flame if they wanted to live they'd learn to play the game
You can still walk away if you just hold your tongue if you'd just walk away you'd live to see the sun but"
Under this killing moon under this burning sky the fire's shining groom I hold my breath and close my eyes
"The blood on our black gloves it is none of your concern if you want to call our bluff get in line and wait your turn and watch the witches burn we'll watch the witches burn"
