This is a song about nothing.โจOh no, not a single thing.โจCause in the absence of content
I hope that youโll forget
That all this shit ever meant a thing.โจโจIโm gonna yell until the vacuum rips my lungs.โจHope you donโt notice all the vacancy thatโs
Wrapped around my tongue.โจDonโt worry boys, you know itโs better off this way:โจThey cannot tear apart that what you did not create.
We all die for the beatdown
While you live for the hype.
Now we start the dissection
Of everything other than feeling,
Like opinions and values, the things that we use
To give our art some meaning.
But, baby, thoughts donโt sell.
Just bottle the mood
Maybe I can just bottle myself
Can you say if that sells?
Letโs just regurgitate a couple concepts
And hope it all pays well.
Iโm gonna yell until the vacuum rips my lungs.โจHope you donโt notice all the vacancy thatโs
Wrapped around my tongue.โจDonโt worry boys, you know itโs better off this way:โจThey cannot tear apart that what you did not create.
โจNow this is the part of the song
Where we slow shit way down for you
So you can all kill each other
It doesnโt even matter what iโm saying here anyway
Can you even understand a fucking word I say?
Mosh call
Generic mosh call
It must be nice to say nothing.
Nothing.
โจMosh call
Generic mosh call
It must be nice to say nothing at all.
Mosh call
One more generic mosh call.
It must be nice to say nothing.
Nothing.

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

If there ever was a timely album to sum up the United States in 2020, this is it. Elements of black metal, hymnals, call-and-response, sampled news audio, and Manuel's amazing voice come together to form a beautifully tortured sound.
The term 'avant-garde' is rightfully earned with every moment of this EP. mistermunn

This album is overwhelmingly good. I've been making music for long enough and listened to too much music to not be impressed easily. This album is goosebumps from beginning till end. Completely different realm of existence of good. minerva

This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee
