That reflection - between these two verses are so awesome. First verse has phenomenal isolated mix and more atmospheric grip. Slow burn. Second verse has dynamic drums pace and killing double-bass, with more intense vocal delivery. This song writing on this album is just nuts. Nothing predictable, only unique and twisted. Also these lyrics; "The conflict is an illusion Just get as close to the reflection Eyes into the fractured glass The bounce back, the cross over" there is just an illusion of conflict, but i want to get the reflection from others. For example, that reflection, when i am talking with someone about something important, i want feedback from people. There is that fractured glass from "conflict", but also bounce back and cross over from people around me, with their feedback. "Break bread with the ally adversary Backwards and forwards, blinded by the shadows below All of you and everything and it's never ending It never started anyway" - i think, that ally adversary is me. I think, that its time for find a connection between me and myself. I need to be my own ally even if things, wont go well. There are these shadows bellow and all of us and everything is blinded cause of it. And it will never end, cause progression never started. I need to feel the bad, to have a reason, to feel better. "Truth will be the first prey amid the raid And you'll see the smoke before you feel the flames" - Truth is everything, but also everyone is afraid of it. Everyone has their own view for everything, but when you will say truth, it become a prey. But everything will be okay - before there will be any pain, it will be done, so there is no need to be afraid of anything. This is my interpretation of this track. Even uplifting song can have still unique and abstract lyrics. I love it!
This song reminds me of my sons mother... she took my son and is nothing but a spiteful liar, 2 faced, smiling assasin.... its cost me 8 years of my life and 100’s of thousands of dollars in court costs to see my son.... for nothing.... to me, this describes my interaction with her... ”truth ends long before the roots are pulled”... ”break bread with the ally/adversary” all clearly put me in an angry place.. in a good way though.. Its great how well written lyrics can speak to a vast amount of people on so many different levels
@@LJTEAM0723 that is true. for me, /with errors is about our inner battles with fears and i can go on. nothing will be without errors, but also we have to be ally/adversary with our own skin.
Well, my opinion is because they have raised top level just now, by this album. I checked it after someone recommended "All Hail" to me. Which is absolutely amazing album. I briefly listened to previous ones and there was nothing close to this recent stuff. The band grown just now. Musically. If that will reflect on their audience number? Should be. I wish
@@44JohnDoe the new album is very good, but a couple of their earlier albums are some of the best LP's ever made. For me personally, Meridional is easily one of the best albums ever by anyone, and I rank Redeemer and Wrongdoers very high as well. They have no bad albums, hence "all hail the almighty Norma Jean".
@@brandbird they have no bad records, but meridional is worst for me, cause mix and boxed production. redeemer and all hail are top notch records, WITH INSANE sound architecture. Polar Similar has amazing cold atmosphere, when Wrongdoers sounds like some kind of oldschool, hardcore, demo record. Anti Mother is amazing throwback to unleashed post-hardcore edge. But all records are amazing and if i have to talk about them in details, i can make a book about it, lmao. Each record is top notch.
@@jackcravford8744 I don't care that much about production, as long as it's decent enough. I'm more into songwriting & musicianship, and that's where Meridional shines in my opinion. But since you mentioned mixing, I find that O God and Bless the Martyr sound way worse than Meridional, soundwise. They are both still amazing records, though.
@@brandbird Speaking about song writing, Meridional - i agree, that it has strong song writing - All Hail is the best Norma Jean record to this day, cause it has MONUMENTAL song writing. Meridional, if you will dig deeper, has still same structure - repeated choruses and verses, when All Hail is over the whole place. Just look how multi-dimensional sounds Translational, that song has so much going on. O God sounds terrible. That album did not aged well. Cory sounds like vacuum cleaner with all that distortion (he is my favorite vocalist by the way) and high ends of that album, sounds painful in all earphones. Drums are weak as fuck, which is shame, cause Daniel is doing phenomenal work there. Bass is also missing in lot of cases. Bless Martyr is better with drum sound, but i just can't enjoy that album, cause it does not have anything interesting for my ears - and i am fan of Chariot, 68' or Josh overall. Norma Jean found their sound with Ross Robinson on Redeemer with that sludge/post-metal/hardcore edge - it sounds really chaotic and dirty, grossy that album. Anti Mother was album with all of their influences (same with guests), influences i mean - with overall genre approach and song writing. Meridional was the first "art"-like record with true sludge/post metal atmosphere. Wrongoders was most of the time oldschool, hardcore punk record with demo vocals and sludge grip. Polar Similar and All Hail have all those influences, genres and etc, together and it is their peak if that make sense.
I'm so glad they made the lyrics the point for this video cuz they're extremely important. Gives me chills! Norma Jean has always been at the top 3 of my fav bands.
norma Jean's lyrics are always so fucking BEAUTIFUL. They have been a top fav of mine since like 5th or 6th grade and I'm 27 now, they will always have a special place in my heart.
About fucking time norma jean releases something to blow my face off, I love this band, this might just be their best song yet, comparing this to songs like sword in mouth fire eyes, deathbed atheist and a small spark vs a great forest, almost like they took that sound and made it even heavier 👌
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel more power in the last two albums... Can't forever dwell on memphis... I loved em back then, but I love the sound so much more now
The most difficult has to be lyrics, cause we know, that Cory has his own believes. But to manage write lyrics, that are abstract, non-linear and open up for everyone, is the most hardest shit for frontman. You need to get out from your own ideas and believes, to make something like that. This is the reason, why he is my favorite frontman.
@@FabulousKilljoy their artistry and element of surprise in the variety of their sound is unmatched. Love T∅P. I'm actually not what most would call a "metal head." I just love good music, and that ranged from metal, to rock, to even contemporary folk. Basically, if it sounds good, i like it. And Norma Jean sounds GREAAAT!
Arthur Cole I listen to rock (metal, punk, pop punk, alternative, folk rock, etc), pop (like AURORA and CHVRCHES), country (the good stuff like George Strait, not the Florida Georgia Line type), a little jazz fusion, and some classical. Basically anything that displays heart and talent in my eyes. I mostly listen to rock and its subgenres though
@@alexandertellez4594 the lead singer and one or two of the other members are Christian but the rest aren't. When they started the band the original members were all believers but now some are and some aren't.
Why can't a Christian drink? Okay when he is smoking weed, I would not take the whole Jesus seriously and all of his believers. Even so when they avoid taxes; in the Netherlands very common among strict believers. Well he'll be coming back and all knee will bow, and he is not gonna ask if you listen to Disciple, Norma Jean or Skillet, but did you give to the poor, did you clothe the naked, did you meet the criminals in the prisons, and above all; did you believe Jesus is Lord?
Thank you. I just said this. I was saying to my friend "this is the what the last UO album should have sounded like instead of the shitstorm called erase me"
To me it seems like first verse is about someone, that is diving into the abyss. Second verse is much more stronger, where the character of the song, is making his way to the goal.

Lot of people are blinded by shadows from below, that are keeping us "grounded" and glued to them - all of them and everything.

Don´t be the enemy of the speech like others, make people around you feel better, when they are interacting with you. Be here for yourself also.
Break bread with the ally/adversary, Story: I went to Bible College, imo not a good idea, at least for me. But the same story that Jessie Smith has about him going to the Bible College he went to, just I didn't get called, at least verbally a gay person cause I had piercings. But all in all, same kinda thing. So just in case any of you are like, well, I don't know, Trust. Don't!
you are the ally adversary, my friend. You need to break bread with you and with all enemies around you. But everyone and everything is blinded by that shadow bellow. It will never start, this progress, cause all negative things won't end.
Secret EyeSpot if Christ gave you the gift of salvation, did you just give it back? Just curious from your ‘not a Christian anymore’ statement. I’ve been there, I get it.
@@TH-campsyops i didnt just give it back, i woke up from the dream that it was ever real in the first place, and discovered the human agency and intellect behind it. I dont think you've ever "been there," why? Because one who has, would never call salvation a "gift." The monomyth cycle that has been hijacked, the hierarchy of self transcendence and actualization thats been hijacked..for some charismatics brand of "God and Christ" is such a waste of good intellect and emotion. Life is so much bigger and better!

This is why, and why I'll always be, a die hard Norma Jean superfan. Almost 20 years blasting your music. Thanks for staying true.
This song is empowering. Take my advice and follow the speed limit driving while listening to it though.
Did you get pulled over while driving and jamming this song?
Speed limits are irrelevant when you dont stop for cops
Same reason I dont drive and play slipknot's 1st album
Omg lol
Ghost_Prone lol!
Came for Norma Jean
Stayed for the hole digging tutorial
damn people will really try to be funny everywhere
hahahahahaha
@@THXIIIRTEENTo be fair, the guy digging the hole is doing a pretty good job.
@@MorganPerry-ee2vg ngl I came back to this video after burying my first body behind the church.

Can't stop listening this song for a month now...keep going
Another amazing banger by NJ, love it guys. I'm a lifelong fan & that won't ever change. Until I see you live again men, rock on from central Florida!
Haven’t kept up with this band since like 2010. They have progressed greatly

One of Best bands

Perfect album, specially this song, the sound is just perfect, you found it !!!
I have not listened to Norma Jean since Redeemers and I came across this song recently. They are still as amazing as they were back then! 🙌

First song I've heard from them. Fucking love it. Unique sound but trippy tool vibes at the same time. Perfect blend of ambiance and groove.
Check out “hive minds”
@IRONHILLdwarf * I'd have to go with "Vs. The Anti-Mother" for their softest album.
Same dude... how have I never heard this band before?
I dig it (pun intended). There needs to be a 'love' button for every Norma Jean video, 'like' just doesn't seem enough.
You're my favorite.
This whole album was brilliant, and this song it's pinnacle achievement.
One of the best tracks on the album.
The final is brutal at 3:41:
“It’s never ending...it never started ANYWAAAAAAAAYYYYY !!!!!”
With the pinchnote just to add the punch.
Perfect album! Perfect sound!
This song speaks to me....
Killing it this new album.
Just came across this band as of a minute ago bro. 2020 ought to be good
You sir have years of good music to catch up on. Check out oh god the aftermath. Great album
Boy, oh boy.
You've got some catching up to do.
Man, you had no idea
2020 is not going to be good :/
Norma Jean will carry you through 2020, my friend.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel more power in the last two albums... Can't forever dwell on memphis... I loved em back then, but I love the sound so much more now
I feel you. I'm waiting for them to bring hell like bless the martyr. I miss it. Maybe its nostalgia
100% agree with you man!! The way they have progressed as a band is amazing and still only sounding like norma jean. Love this album!
I agree Barry lejeune I started listening w Antimother and been pretty hooked. I listen to The Chariot often. Long Live mostly
I dig it.
I see you.
Norma Jean sees guy in woods: "There is no time to explain, take this shovel, put this rag on your face, and start digging"
Yep
This album is something else!
How have I never heard of this band?
DANG I FORGOT HOW AMAZING THIS SONG IS🔥🔥
NO NEED FOR DIRT I'M ALREADY STILL
Awesome album 🙌

From Thailand , Love This band
I get original The Human Abstract vibes from the vocals and fucking just love it.
This is AMAZINGGGG 🤟🖤🔥
as always great and catchy)
New album matches Oh God in terms of its effectiveness imo
Omfg this song is so fucking gooood!!!
I forever love you miss "norma jean" from beginning and into the middle but will hopefully never end!
So I just discovered these guys and I’m sitting here asking myself why the FUCK I’ve never heard of them before
Different vocalist but check out Memphis will be laid to waste. That album helped form metalcore as we know it in the early 2000s
These guys would do a great cover of That Girl Possesed
love this song
Can't wait to see all these videos linked together into the digging story.
I hope we get to see it unfold by the end like T∅P videos. Can't wait

love the song but that guy does not know how to shovel dirt, hes never going to get that tree root out of the ground like that.
Right? This guy clearly has never held a shovel
This gives me late Underoath vibes.
thats what i've been saying since this came out! i wish this was the type of shit UO put out instead of Erase Me

“It never started anyway”
Shovel guy is not gonna be happy about that.
Is there an explanation for these lyrics? I feel like they’re super deep, but I have no idea what they mean. 😂
To me it seems like first verse is about someone, that is diving into the abyss. Second verse is much more stronger, where the character of the song, is making his way to the goal.
The song is to me circling around the philosophy, that "cross over/bounce back" can reflecting the feedback we can get from everything around us - and the cross over is important - to be able to get from our own comfort zone and cross over what is scaring us so much.
The chorus is inspirational take on how people should act. Don´t be harsh on anyone, break bread with your ally/adversary. Lot of people are blinded by shadows from below, that are keeping us "grounded" and glued to them - all of them and everything.
The middle section about truth - the truth can be tricky and you will challenge people with the truth. Don´t be the enemy of the speech like others, make people around you feel better, when they are interacting with you. Be here for yourself also.
This gives me vibes of a heavier/modern Alice in Chains
Wow! Sound matured greatly!🔥🤘🏼
Sounds they're taken a page from Tool's playbook.
How does this have no views but why'd it pop up for me? Hopefully this is good.
