So far this song has not gotten the credit it deserves. The whole album is brilliant but this is my favorite! Can’t put into words how amazing these guys are and how influential they have been on me since I first became a fan 13 years ago. The rebirth of their era has only just begun.
I'm about 99% sure the chorus: "Just force yourself to wait You settle for the face of an Arbiter Not tempered by fault if ever alone Ever alone, falter through You stare out into something beautiful" is talking about the Catholic idea of the Beatific Vision, or Heaven, and seeing Our Father face-to-face. Just force yourself to wait: Keep pushing aside sinful tendencies, as much as you'd like to indulge in them. You settle for the face of an Arbiter: You come to the realization you need a Savior. Not tempered by fault if ever alone. Ever alone, falter through: You need to realize that you'll stumble and fall as you strive to see Perfection in the Face of God. You stare out into something beautiful: Your final reward will be to contemplate the Face of God, face to face, with all your desires being constantly fulfilled, forever If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but that's what the lyrics tell me.
I love that tritone they play at 0:48 over the major chord with the bass a half step down. It makes that riff for me. They only play it once but its so tasteful.
The whole album is a constant throwback to the younger days. Of all the songs, this one is the more nostalgic for me. Being a 14 year old listening to hopesfall...16 years later nothing has changed. In whatever form they come, or with wich lineup they record a new album, they will always be legends!
Made unaware to then be led and segregated Some of us are all for nothing but a home And to feel It in our bones Anti-hero of our own space I guess the transmission Is gone Just force yourself to wait You settle for the face of an arbiter Not tempered by fault if ever alone Ever alone, falter through You stare out Into something beautiful When the honest save their own honorable souls And to wait inside our hearts Where amazement blooms And to be inside our home An escape pod for intangibles A two moon endeavor An incredible sun awaits Where's your soul You unprincipled, unintentional, good for less than Downturn forces pressure From where there's Just this Incredible threshold When to make amends With a forgotten nation That I've never seen before Never be known Share our hopeless endeavor Under far pavilions be known, antihero When the honest save their own honorable souls Where amazement Is to bloom You'll be alone The antihero of our own space
Yea this song is just so deep in the feels. I can’t even take it. 1:28 is my favorite part I need more of that 😍 thank you hopesfall for such a masterpiece of a album. Never ever stop making music 🙏🏾
This song is a fucking Symphony. Just listen to it. The greats are all here.. I'm in the generation of learning, embracing, condoning and relearning shit. X the cutoff. Lol. Nothing exists with X and Y Y. Killing ourselves for colder ashes from a tree that was thick enough to blow down hills and provide warmth. That is the early God. Where are the trees. Where are the warm ashes. Why does the warm run to the cold and the bitch when others burn?
Can we all just take the time to stop and appreciate how solid hopesfall's bassist is and what he brings to the table
3.30 onwards. Wow.

Without a doubt the best song on the album for me aswell!
Keely G Totally agree. Best song on the album and that is a tough call.
Luke Dale tough call indeed!
Gotta say. This is my favorite song. Not just from the album, this song hits my ears in all the right places.
The drummer !!!!

Made unaware to then be led and segregated
Some of us are all for nothing but a home
And to feel It in our bones
Anti-hero of our own space
I guess the transmission Is gone
Just force yourself to wait
You settle for the face of an arbiter
Not tempered by fault if ever alone
Ever alone, falter through
You stare out Into something beautiful
When the honest save their own honorable souls
And to wait inside our hearts
Where amazement blooms
And to be inside our home
An escape pod for intangibles
A two moon endeavor
An incredible sun awaits
Where's your soul
You unprincipled, unintentional, good for less than
Downturn forces pressure
From where there's
Just this
Incredible threshold
When to make amends
With a forgotten nation
That I've never seen before
Never be known
Share our hopeless endeavor
Under far pavilions be known, antihero
When the honest save their own honorable souls
Where amazement Is to bloom
You'll be alone
The antihero of our own space

Such a good band
I can't understand anything of the lyrics (I am Brazilian) but I don't care, this music touch my heart so deep! :')
Tiago Moraes I’m American and have a hard time deciphering this dude’s lyrics 😂
These last two Tracks of the album are truly its highlight! Great job!!
Thank you for another amazing song! Been a fan since the beginning. I still have, the frailty of words.
This is why I listen to the musics. Float away to that ending.
Callbacks to Escape Pod for Intangibles, Endeavor, The Far Pavilions in the lyrics
3:40 always makes me tear up it is so hard.
3:00 kills me. What a throwback
Yea this song is just so deep in the feels. I can’t even take it. 1:28 is my favorite part I need more of that 😍 thank you hopesfall for such a masterpiece of a album. Never ever stop making music 🙏🏾

Yeah jays voice for me is the resemblance but Hopesfall is more melodic, I don’t get that vibe when I listen to Norma Jean
