This song saved my life in 2013. Even in the dead of winter, I can listen to this song and feel the heat and humidity of that summer. My eyes well up with tears of despair. The panic, the anguish, the heat of the summer sun on my back as I hiked aimlessly through the woods near my home. The day this video was released, my wife left me. I thought my life was over...
+Agilancer Sorry to hear that :-( But life is never over, sometimes it hits us in strong ways but we must be strong and "resist"! Never give up and be strong. Life is short, and it doesn't matter how hard we get hit, it matters if we have the strenght to put us on our feet again!
+R. Meira That's the truth. I ended my comment with "I thought my life was over..." because it was really just the beginning of a new chapter of my life. Since that summer, I've went back to school (I'm in my mid-30s), released my first full length solo album, I found the woman of my dreams, and got a huge, life changing promotion at work. I'm not the man I was 3 years ago. I feel like I found "me".
Kyrell Davis you must have been commenting against yourself to make such a radical, dumbass, derogatory comment. Yours is the only one deserving of the idiocy award. Bravo man, bravo
4 years later and this song can still wound me like no other. The lyrics here have this uncanny ability to no drag these feelings back up that I thought I had anchored down way at the bottom of my mind. Terribly good, in every sense of the words.
There are several things that bother me: A) why is TesseracT so damn consistent B) why am I crying C) how did it come to this? Guys? It's a TH-cam comment section - where are the mean comments? Developing a faith in humanity atm.
Am I the only one that see this lyric as a master piece :') First time i read the lyrics I had trouble to come up with the story. But by time and repeatedly listing to the song i find it a song made for you to come up with your own interpretation of the lyrics and it's meaning. My way of seeing the lyrics (and it may just be me) is that the song is about a failed relationship and the singer going through the five stages of grief to get over the relationship. The first stage is Denial and Isolation: "Turn back time Reason why Break neck speed History Waiting (waiting) Waning (waning) Exasperating Unstrung Tethered Hoping forever" The next state is Anger (in this cass anger and guild blaming on him self) "No! I tried to settle bets with my own soul Bless my lips for the first time before you don't Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go I'll spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough" Then I see Bargaining and the Depression and the continuous repeat/shout out of resist And finally when the song end is the Acceptance and end of it all. Don't know if it is just me but that how i see it :)
My child was born two days ago. I've listened this album and this track million times in the last few days. It will ever remind me to the birth of my son! :) Love it!
It's like someone who's stuck outside of time That just learned how to love but it was taking away and seems to them as a memory or a fantasy. Just the sound.. It's beyond space and time.
This album is perfection and this saddens me as I think that they won't be able to deliver the same level of artistic expression on their next album especially with the singer change. Dan is a beast, but I think Ashe had that special something in him.
+Rik Broach I like Polaris but I have to disagree with that statement.. The song 'Perfection' off the album one is the closest dans come to topping this (yes I know that song came out before this) I do think dan has the potential to top altered state though. I just don't think that album was Polaris maybe their next album..
My favourite song of all time. Ever. And I have listened to a LOT of good music. Nothing else gives me the pure chills up my spine like this song. As close to musical perfection as I will hear in my lifetime. And I'm so happy to be alive to hear it!
Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go Spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough i resonate with this song so hard i'm gonna explode i swear
This song has helped pull me through some of the darkest times where I was so fearful, anxious and depressed, reminding me how happy I was when I was just 17 and ambitious. It really has put me in the same ambitious mindset again.
Tim Richardson the drums were programmed by Acle, and Postones played some very few parts in an electronic drumset. By the way, as a drummer, I agree -- Postones is the man.
Is it just me or does anyone else get shivers all over the body and freaking heart attack while listening to this and Nocturne? I just wanna cry and scream to the world´s end.
Resist, Eden, King, Smile, and Luminary are the best songs to exist. they all have a similar meaning, and even tho I'm probably the only 11 year old listening to this, it means a lot
I discover new bands everyday, find new songs that deserve all the love that i can give. I love finding new songs to listen to, but everytime that i want to hear something that I already know and love I always come back to tesseract. This band has the most wonderful musics, the beauty of their songs make me cry everytime. I love music, I love tesseract. Thank you for this masterpiece
Just when I needed a Divine message... synchronicities brought me to this bless.... Divinity told me RESIST from this difficult moment of existence thru this beautiful song. You are not from this dimension Tesseract. Bless You!
FANTASTIC video visuals!! One of my fave of all time songs as well as fave Tesseract songs. Cant go wrong with this one. Could listen to it over and over and over.
“Gripping to the last touch of your hand I’ve grown to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go Spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough” Late 2018. I felt like no one else understood what I was going through but these guys pulled through for me. Those words still cut deep
I loved Tompkins in Tesseract. Coleman was also awesome. O'Hara is doing a great job. This lyric video is great and Tesseract still doesn't disappoint. Thanks for posting this CenturyMedia.
Altered State is a masterpiece.
Yes it is!
Agreed!
It truly is.
you are a bit of a masterpiece too if i do say so myself.
The more I listen to it the more I agree weird it seems like it gets better with age
The band actually sent it over to us because they loved it so much. We saw it and we love so much too. Much love going on!
It's fire

GAY
Fuck you.
LOL
I cannot describe how grateful I am that TesseracT exists.
i had to poop but i held it in until the song was over. Good. Track.
Try cutting back on the roast beef!
Dude .. Same. Except for concealing fate part 1 , nascent, and northlane dispossession . Worth every moment of turtling....
Lips I did it while listening to the song. Great soundtrack
THIS SONG.
FUCK.
I'M CRYING.
I'M DYING.
in a pile of shit. I'm dying, I'm Dying! IIIII need somebody (someone) oh, sorry I'm done...
Kiley Corwin WoW... I Hope whatever is going wrong in your Life, gets better soon😃
@@shametosmokeititslikekilli4455 "insert nu metal breakdown "
This is a powerhouse that deserves much more recognition.
wtf your a joke i dont know where you live you thanks for the laugh though that was too good i havnt heard a wack response like that befrore.
Kyrell Davis you must have been commenting against yourself to make such a radical, dumbass, derogatory comment. Yours is the only one deserving of the idiocy award. Bravo man, bravo
ITurnMyBackToTheWorld777 no worries man. Yeah I figured you had...I was just mocking him lol
i can't resist listening to this song all day
+led940404 i see what you did there lol
I cried. Those are so beautiful, outstanding lyrics...
Unstrung
Tethered
Hoping forever..
They really are aren't they. So pain filled, everyone can relate.
broke123 Sad but 100% true.
4 years later and this song can still wound me like no other. The lyrics here have this uncanny ability to no drag these feelings back up that I thought I had anchored down way at the bottom of my mind. Terribly good, in every sense of the words.
Hell yeah , and fuck you for picking meepo haha.
I can't stop listening and it's been YEEEARS
in my opinion, most beautiful song ever made
There are several things that bother me:
A) why is TesseracT so damn consistent
B) why am I crying
C) how did it come to this? Guys? It's a TH-cam comment section - where are the mean comments? Developing a faith in humanity atm.
The depth of this song is surrreal... needs to be noticed, where my millions at
this should have over 20m views, not 330k.
2 years later, this vid's only at 537k. This should be acrime
@@Hellion6325 it is
I love your profile pic
This is honestly one of the most perfect songs I have ever heard. Lyrics, music, vocals, chills......everything.
This band just made their way to the top of my favorite list. They now sit with After The Burial, The Contortionist, Between the Buried and Me
O.O BTBAM!!! Yes!!! TesseracT is my absolute favorite though. I salute you on your awesome taste in music Sir! :)
***** Thank you madam!
Got to see Tesseract, BTBAM, and Animals as Leaders in one show a while back, in a small bar venue...it was epic. Packed, but epic.
JTB Would that small bar venue happen to be in Little Rock?
Indeed so, I think it's closed now though.
Music in it's purest form. Raw. Intense. Beautiful.
This song got me through the days and weeks after my father died. It still brings those emotions to the surface. Thank you, Tesseract.
Am I the only one that see this lyric as a master piece :')
First time i read the lyrics I had trouble to come up with the story.
But by time and repeatedly listing to the song i find it a song made for you to come up with your own interpretation of the lyrics and it's meaning.
My way of seeing the lyrics (and it may just be me) is that the song is about a failed relationship and the singer going through the five stages of grief to get over the relationship.
The first stage is Denial and Isolation:
"Turn back time
Reason why
Break neck speed
History
Waiting (waiting)
Waning (waning)
Exasperating
Unstrung
Tethered
Hoping forever"
The next state is Anger (in this cass anger and guild blaming on him self)
"No! I tried to settle bets with my own soul
Bless my lips for the first time before you don't
Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe
Hope that you remember just how far I'll go
I'll spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough"
Then I see Bargaining and the Depression and the continuous repeat/shout out of resist
And finally when the song end is the Acceptance and end of it all.
Don't know if it is just me but that how i see it :)
Wow never thought this but it makes complete sense. I like the whole bargaining/begging part. props.
+shadowdude001 ide say spot on but it relates to your own existence and death. my op
My child was born two days ago. I've listened this album and this track million times in the last few days. It will ever remind me to the birth of my son! :) Love it!
2:33 that octave drop hits like a freight train
This song is just a pure honest and fragile rapresentation of life.
It's like someone who's stuck outside of time
That just learned how to love but it was taking away and seems to them as a memory or a fantasy.
Just the sound.. It's beyond space and time.
Phinetic yes and love is something that we know transcends time
Bro you’ve got fortnite and anime in your playlists cringe
@@DaRoachDoggJrr we live in a society
listening to this song is purely transcendental 😋
+Brian Griffin And I'm sure you know about transcendental stuff, since you have that Lateralus pic :3
Ascension music!
I cry everytime. So so real.
spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough. ❤
I tried to settle bets with my own soul. 💔💔💔
Lusy Darliing Exactly how I have lived my whole life. Guess I'm not alone.
u r r8 darling.....
Resist❤️
Such a beautiful, meaningful song, them lyrics cut deep..
Cherry street I think you meant album, not song
cooliocaptin517 No I meant song, the album is a masterpiece
Cherry street Exactly. The entire album is absolutely transcending. Great album.
+Tall trees what are the lyrics about? O.o :P
Dani Dulcinea Overcoming ones problems, battling yourself.
Feels: The Song.
Amen
This album is perfection and this saddens me as I think that they won't be able to deliver the same level of artistic expression on their next album especially with the singer change. Dan is a beast, but I think Ashe had that special something in him.
+Dániel Richárd Horváth
Ashe was something so beautiful. I share the same fears as you, but I'm confident it will be better
+Shubh Deol yeah look at Tourniquet-TesseracT on Polaris. Dan is just as well putting as much soul as Ashe was IMO.
+Rik Broach I like Polaris but I have to disagree with that statement.. The song 'Perfection' off the album one is the closest dans come to topping this (yes I know that song came out before this) I do think dan has the potential to top altered state though. I just don't think that album was Polaris maybe their next album..
Rik Broach I prefer Ashe but Dan is great also. Just like Ashes voice more the angelic sounding vocals.
Dániel Richárd Horváth you were wrong lol
One of the best pieces of music ever written
One of the best song finales I've ever heard.
+allcartuner This one and Hexes are the best ones I've ever heard.
Just discovered this band and live in the UK. Pretty stoked to find another sick band I can hopefully see live pretty often :)
This song is beautiful
Goosebumps, every fucking time I listen to this masterpiece.
Resist, be yourselves, be the progress. Stop following the orders..
Open your mind to the future !
I love the concept of this album.
That is literally the concept of LaVeyan Satanism :P
@@MarforSonOfLucifer I doubt it but whatever makes you sleep at night bud
Without a doubt the best progressive metal band I've ever listened to.
you should try The Ocean
no you shouldn't. tesseract is way better than the ocean lol
i wasn't saying they were better, im just saying they're good
true they are good. seen them at summer slaughter.
Alex Hernandez that's actually how i found them, they were great live
After 7/8 years this song is still my favorite song of all time , such a masterpiece
altered state is such a beautiful album....
Favourite song from my favourite album. Gonna miss Ashe.
I can not get enough of this album. Truly amazing.
Not just music. Art.
Pure talent in everything, I see where I want to grow
My favourite song of all time. Ever. And I have listened to a LOT of good music. Nothing else gives me the pure chills up my spine like this song. As close to musical perfection as I will hear in my lifetime. And I'm so happy to be alive to hear it!
Of Matter has to be one of the most complete pieces of music I have ever heard and this ending is so emotional. I LOOOOOVE this band
Just when I think I can't love them any more...they make a perfect lyric video to my favorite song.
I can't stop listening ... I'm addicted to this masterpiece
Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe
Hope that you remember just how far I'll go
Spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough
i resonate with this song so hard i'm gonna explode i swear
Use headphones.
Josh Rose Nty
Don't tell me how to live my life
+Blueskythinking 😂😂😂😂😂
Perfection
Okay dad, but please hugs me I'm scared!
His voice is unreal. Sounds incredible!
This song has helped pull me through some of the darkest times where I was so fearful, anxious and depressed, reminding me how happy I was when I was just 17 and ambitious. It really has put me in the same ambitious mindset again.
This is why music have to exist. To resist, of all your heart.
This has to be one of the best written albums overall since I can remember when. Their arrangements are amazing. Postones is the man.
Tim Richardson the drums were programmed by Acle, and Postones played some very few parts in an electronic drumset. By the way, as a drummer, I agree -- Postones is the man.
=)
Is it just me or does anyone else get shivers all over the body and freaking heart attack while listening to this and Nocturne? I just wanna cry and scream to the world´s end.
still here crying in 2019!
The goosebumps. They can't go away after listening to this masterpiece!
Resist, Eden, King, Smile, and Luminary are the best songs to exist. they all have a similar meaning, and even tho I'm probably the only 11 year old listening to this, it means a lot
I won’t be surprised if I find this comment years down the road still listening because this song is just that good.
oh hey you seem familiar
This song is so good, it gives me chills everytime.
This album truly was a masterpiece, never get bored of listening to it.
can't decide which is better, Altered State or Polaris. Both are amazing but if forced to pick, I'd go with Altered State.
Altered State
Altered State for life !
Yeah I love One and Polaris but Altered State is really good!!! My pick too for sure.
Id go with Altered State too, a musical masterpiece!
Well I think Tourniquet is a Masterpiece! So... I really love both in different ways! :)
There's so much recycling in the music industry, but this is actually a genuine and honest song. Thanks Ashe for the awesome vocals!
physicly cant song along without tirering up for some reason , best band out there
I feel like a transdimensional space goat
2019 and I'm still. here, Ash O'Hara is absolutely brutal!
i just want to thank TesseracT for creating this song!
I discover new bands everyday, find new songs that deserve all the love that i can give. I love finding new songs to listen to, but everytime that i want to hear something that I already know and love I always come back to tesseract. This band has the most wonderful musics, the beauty of their songs make me cry everytime.
I love music, I love tesseract. Thank you for this masterpiece
There's seriously no song I dislike from Tesseract.
I feel this song every time.
This is beautiful. Everytime I hear it. Thank you TESSERACT!!!
Just when I needed a Divine message... synchronicities brought me to this bless.... Divinity told me RESIST from this difficult moment of existence thru this beautiful song. You are not from this dimension Tesseract. Bless You!
That beat is so satisfying.
Still gives me the chills. Great piece.
I feel like this song is a sequel to perfection off one.. I know it's not but it could be
FANTASTIC video visuals!! One of my fave of all time songs as well as fave Tesseract songs. Cant go wrong with this one. Could listen to it over and over and over.
This song gives me chills every time.
This is definitely my favorite song off the album. AMAZING!
I love this song so much. It's so deep and beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much, TesseracT. Thank you for your music.
This whole album is incredible, but absolutely sublime on psychedelics
With the layered singing of highs and lows I believe it. Juturna and Blue Sky Noise by Circa Survive are also great on Acid and Mushrooms
“Gripping to the last touch of your hand I’ve grown to loathe
Hope that you remember just how far I'll go
Spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough”
Late 2018. I felt like no one else understood what I was going through but these guys pulled through for me. Those words still cut deep
Those words still cut deep for me too. Late 2018. Apparently they understood you, me, and many others...
Forever my favorite band
I've really been digging everything I've heard from this band so far. Good stuff.
I loved Tompkins in Tesseract. Coleman was also awesome. O'Hara is doing a great job.
This lyric video is great and Tesseract still doesn't disappoint.
Thanks for posting this CenturyMedia.
How could music be any greater than this.
Absolutely beautiful
Love this album!
this song is so powerful, it is as if it itself frees me from every worry and every thought, it frees my soul
Love this band, one of the best out there these days! MM
Magnificent ! TesseracT
Omg this song is absolutely beautiful!
The best CD I've listened and I'll listen in my life.
To put this song into words, I dont think its possible. From the beginning to the end it is a story! It is an adventure!
And my god, I love it!!
this music is me inside...i cant explain it..love the emotion in metal.
Such a great album!
Best clean vocals i've ever heard.
Spend the rest of my life wishing i'm enough
2019 and this song / lyric video is still everything
Masterpiece of a record
BEAUTIFUL LYRIC VIDEO.
love this song !
Es simplemente sublime :)
