LYRICS:
All out of exits, all out of enemies
You built this prison and buried the key
I’ve given up on giving in
Temptation mocks me from a distance, but I won’t let it win
This thin façade could never last
Like a snake that sheds its skin, illusions shatter like glass
The sceptic inside me believes what he knows
Cynically silent but with nothing to show
The devil beside me is whispering doubt in my ear
I’ll keep pretending not to hear
So here I am for what it’s worth
I spilled my blood against the earth
Just to see the world in colour
Dead; left for dead and left to rot
A tainted memory, an empty afterthought
I’d lay my whole life on the line just to see this through
If it consumes me, let the script upon my tomb read:
I found my love and let it kill me
“Beg and plead, your own ambition brought you to your knees
Beg and plead, you built this prison, and buried the key”
A momentary lapse, the colours fade to grey
As if the world we knew was never meant to be
I know I’ll pay for my mistakes,
just promise me you’ll take my word and take my everything
So here I am for what it’s worth
I spilled my blood against the earth
Just to see the world in colour
So give me all you came here for
Give me hell and give me war
I’ll be waiting for an answer
I found my love and let it kill me

Rest in peace, Ryan. Thank you for everything ❤
Why?
RIP
RIP Ryan, This guitarist gave that riff that is polaris.
Amazing musician ❤
😂😂😂😂
I was sitting 7 string on lap trying to learn lucid. Mum walks in, an Australian guitarist has died. Im like oh who was it? Expecting some older band. And she goes a band called Polaris, do you know them....... i froze.
RIP champion you crafted incredible music. My heart breaks for the Polaris team, and family.
This gave me goosebumps
oh my fucking god
Damn, that’s rough dude.
That be deep
rest in peace ryan your soul will be stuck to these songs and beautiful harmonies forever 2024 and this song continues to sound strong and presico polaris y erra the kings of modern metalcore greetings from argentina
RIP Ryan Siew. Can't believe this man, that blows... This was my first Polaris song, really did alot for my taste in music and mental growth. What a legend.
Hard to believe it's been a year now, he gave so much to band and the metalcore community
The colour contrast in Polaris' music videos is always stunning.
they want to see the world in colours :D
ROY57ON 1:52 did you see that shot of the drummers shadow in the tunnel?
but i am missing some stories behind nowadays metal music videos....
looking back at freak on a leash (played in a bedroom with a little girl punished by her dad) oder make me bad from korn (okay maybe the budget for this one was a little bit higher) .... or music videos from other bands..... today its only "ah here is a good location..... a forest, or a destroyed concrete background" or if theres nothing around they take a black background or white background with nothing .... you dont need hollywood. but a little story about the lyrics, please. these / letz call it "underground" bands want to be heard. and they say, that the lyrics are meaningful.... so fucking show it to us man ! btw the most stupid way to express your song is the way parkway drive did it, with the ugly face of the singer. powerful instrumentals, powerful lyrics as always. 10$ black/white music video. fuck it.
@@OfficialCaltura lmfao you clearly didn't get the point of pwd's video. Like at all. Not even in the slightest, tiniest bit.
@@DashhunterLP What's the point?
This song is one of the best things I’ve heard in years… how is it not more popular in metalcore?
The new album sounds like it could seriously boost their popularity, already at 1M monthly listeners, they’re getting big 🤞🙌
@@masonturner4085 the album release is probably gonna be delayed by a bit
Also for op: they're one of the biggest bands in the scene right now wdym not more popular
Edit: I forgot they confirmed the album is still coming September first, I'm an idiot
The song that ignited the metalcore scene. Rest in peace, Ryan Siew.
Um. What?
@@chrisp5093 Probably what they meant was the song that ignited the metalcore scene in Australia, though I could easily see it being a song that could be one of the better songs in the Metalcore genre.
This song, no matter how often I've heard it in the past 4 and a half years, still gives me the chills when the lead chorus fades in. Masterpiece. I've seen it like 8 times live and I do not get tired for more
Metal as a whole for me will never be the same without you Ryan. Rest gently you absolute legend.
I just heard this band for the first time a few days ago. That riff at 1:43 absolutely legendary. I fell asleep while listening with The Ghost Inside playing, and Spotify auto-played this song. I am not kidding, that riff woke me out a deep sleep. The pleasure center in my brain lit up to the point where it woke me up. Crazy lol.
Very sad to hear about the loss of their guitarist, Ryan. I am a very new fan, but I can tell this dude was tremendously talented. RIP.
I know right they released 2 incredible albums since 2020 that I still listen on a daily but I always have to comeback to this song every once in a while, something about that breakdown is giving me intense goosebumps and shivers down my spine especially that 2nd time at the end of the song. And now watching the videoclip seeing Ryan play it makes me sob like a baby
The very first song ive hear from these guys. Fucking explosive! RIP Ryan. You will be missed. Thanks for bringing this absolute banger to life
Thank you for everything Ryan RIP you were a big inspiration to me growing up and I grew alongside you watching your covers and watching you grow as a musician and into a grown adult hurts my heart this happened and I give my condolences to your family and friends will always be in our heart 😭
I felt that 'i found my love and let it kill me' line right in my inner soul
And right after that they hit you with the BEG AND PLEAD
Hard to believe this beast of a track was 3 years ago now. Still bangs like it was just released god damn it.
I seriously cannot wait for this album. Definitely including you guys in my list of bands to check out this month in my upcoming video!
Andrew Baena You're the reason I'm here 😅
Thanks for recommending Spiritbox to me. Love that album and never would have stumbled on it. I love your recommendation videos.
Ø doesn't sound like architects. it still is a bit progressive, but not like architects. Also, what's wrong with the chorus? It's the best one I've heard in a while.
Bah iv
Ø people like you are killing this genre, stfu and enjoy..
1:53 ...Even the cameraman can’t resist to headbang 🤘🏻
2 Years on and still the best comment.
Saw y’all a few years ago in Richmond VA, tbh I went for wage war but stayed for Polaris lol I had no idea y’all would become my favorite band of all time. Now after the news of Ryan I’m heartbroken. Going on a Polaris binge and just trying to send all the good vibes and prayers y’all’s way. What an amazing musician and a life lost way too soon. I know y’all must be shattered, I’m so sorry for this loss 💔
Im from The U.S. And I'm Not Ashamed But Proud to Say The Best Music on The Earth Comes From Other Countries Especially Australia Holy Shit When I Fist Heard This Song Years Back...I WAS HOOKED FOREVER! Polaris Holds A Place In My Heart FOREVER! ❤☝☝👍👍🎸🎸
It just blows my mind that this dropped 4 years ago. An album that soon changed my life and helped me through the toughest times of my life. Thank you, Polaris. ❤️
Love how they group up near the end of the video like that. Makes it feel more genuine that it's more of a group of friends just jamming and having a real good time.
Those riffs in the middle of the song sound killer, and sound like so much fun to play too
That's what happens when you're a guitarist heavily inspired by Periphery.
They sound like BMTH meets periphery.
Dear Polaris,
Yes.
Regards
xD
to every member of polaris
YES/10
I love you @ryankuchel
Bunch of comments all 3 years old talking bout "I was the first"...
I'm still jamming this and likely always will
"I FOUND MY LOVE AND LET IT KILL ME!!"
Wow this has to be one of the best metalcore music videos I've ever seen.
Javin Maillet songs*
1:37 might be the best opening to the best breakdown of all time
Genuinely think its the best riff ever its so FUCKING filthy
"I spilled my blood against the earth, just to see the world in colour" FUCKING EPIC
Is this some LGBT reference?
@@ThatShitGood Nope
@@ThatShitGood where do you get that idea from??
@@TheCurseMC cuz this is a pretty leftist band, they even once said homophobics have no place in our shows.
iYAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
In before Polaris goes fucking massive
This album is gonna be massive😍
same same same broo
same
They fucking deserve it man, they’re on another level
Ayeee
The way you came together around Daniel and just jammed. My most favorite thing a band has ever done with one another in a music video! This song just gives me chills and tears. Amazing! Thank you!
The vocal chorus early/end is sick. Goosebumps every time. Keep grinding through all the bs. Life is crazy
I got chills from music only a few times in my life; hearing System Of A Down and Disturbed for the first time. Being in the front row of As I lay Dying and Devil Wears Prada concert. And.....Polaris breakdowns. MY GOD....awesome.
This band is gonna be huge in the next few years
Give it a few days. When this album drops, people are gonna go nuts
Huge because you think they are talented and deserve respect, and you feel like some sort of authority on the matter? Would you get more or less satisfaction from them becoming more popular, does it even mater?
Or will they be huge because you think Polaris can write songs that fit current trends and they are merely passionless an unoriginal album pushers?
I honestly can't tell what you mean or why you would say it.
Dude....shut the fuck up hahahaha, I can hear your neckbeard from here
lmao
Fuck me Jon, Who hurt you?
I really like the bit where everyone is facing the drummer, looks great.
The "Beg and Plead" part??
Damn, it's actually really good
I honestly don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this, and keep banging
my head like it’s the first.
Damn, those RIffs, those screams, those cleans, that beat. First time I've heard this band. Glad I clicked.
I've been searching vor Polarize by Twenty one Pilots. Then this showed up and i found the thumbnail quite interesting. Now i'm here and i don't regret it.
Really? top isn't even the same genre!
@@reecebradleydrums2553 my girlfriend likes this and her idol is Tom Delonge 😂
Here from Ryan Siew's KSE - In Due Time guitar cover \m/ crazy how much he's grown!
Definitely replaying the good parts. And by that I mean the whole song.
album maybe??
More like whole album
Saw these boys for the first time at a small ass venue in Blacktown (Sydney) Australia and been a fan since. It’s amazing seeing how far they’ve come since then and I’m so excited to see the future for the band. HUGE debut album.
Good god, I’ve listened to this song, maybe over 250 times. That breakdown at the end gives me goosebumps EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
That vocalist is losing his mind. I freaking love it, this track rips.
If you ever get the chance see them live, fuck me they are amazing, the atmosphere they build is fucking nuts. And the mosh goes so fucking hard.
@@brainerror3168 True, when I was at the Architects concert, they played there with Beartooth as support and it was amazing!!!
Was about to say the same thing lol saw them live last night and holy shit! They put on a kickass show, they're hella chill too. We got to talk to them while they set up, really cool guys
I saw them live on the pressure tour they are amazing lie and I had the chance to chat with Jamie after their set and he is so down to earth humble and an amazing guy it was unreal
@@brainerror3168 just saw them live opening up for Northlane in Switzerland... it was the fuckin booomb bruh
I can’t believe I just found these guys, I love it so much. Metalcore perfection 😌
I'm also a newbie.... fucking obsessed with these guys now🤜🤛
Best part, a clean vocalist who doesn't record shit he can't perform live. Absolutely love this
This chorus at the end of this song constantly puts chills up my spine
I’d pay serioussss money to hear this song for the first time again
x2
Saw these guys last October. I went to the show for Chelsea Grin and Sworn In, but these guys were the first to perform and I ended up headbanging so hard that I was barely able to move my head by the time they finished. They're flawless live.
This was me the other night in Chicago they were with The Devil Wears Prada, August Burns Red, and Parkway Drive. And man I was destroyed after these guys
@@HiThereFaceHere Haha. Glad someone can relate. In like 5 minutes I went from 'Shit, this is a good song' to rocking out like a madman. If this occurs to more people, we can hopefully name the phenomenon as the Polaris-effect. Sounds totally science-y.
@@kakadu2004 haha fantastic. Love it!
These dudes deserve so much recognition. They were doing what ABR and Parkway were doing without having even close to the gear those 2 have
I met the vocalist at his show in PA last night. He was super cheerful and friendly. This band is QUICKLY becoming one of my new faves XD
In the toilet now listening to this awesome tune.
Needless to say, everything went smooth as I’d imagined
Amad Danial I'm pooping on the clock. And this really soothes the push
it really pushes the sooth
Amad Danial word xD
10/10 would poop to this again
Ryan Calafetti i like this comment thread
StickToYourToms I like your user name
There are few songs that I put on repeat, this will absolutely be one of them.
Even the production quality on the music videos is crazy!
God I've had this song on repeat for a year and that groovy fucking breakdown never ceases to give me chills.
RIP Ryan. Legend
Today I have realized how much of a fool I am. I previously loved this song and the whole album simply because of how good it sounds. Not once did I consider checking out the lyrics, being that my narrow mind assumed they were probably some generic and stereotypical lyrics. I have never been so wrong. These lyrics are beautiful and I’m going to spend the next hour analyzing all of the lyrics on this album! I had no idea Jamie was such a talented lyricist! I love how songs like “sonder” can be interpreted in a ton of different ways! Polaris is almost on par with silent planet in terms of lyrics!
A month away from 2022, and despite 4 years of searching, I’m yet to find any moment in any song that slaps me round the face as hard as the 1:40 mark \m/
I saw this band on tour opening for parkway drive and August burns red in 2017 and man was I grateful to find out about them. I starting listening to them prior to seeing the show to get a preview of what I would get and man needless to say when I saw that show it was and still is the best metal show I ever seen in my life. Parkway drive, August burns red, the devil wears Prada and polaris.
TNEY FUCKING NAILED IT.
Glad to see people still eating there music up.
[Intro]
All out of exits, all out of enemies
You built this prison and buried the key
[Verse 1]
I’ve given up on giving in
Temptation mocks me from a distance
But I won’t let it, win
This thin façade could never last
Like a snake that sheds its skin
Illusions shatter like glass
The sceptic inside me believes what he knows
Cynically silent but with nothing to show
The devil beside me is whispering doubt in my ear
I’ll keep pretending not to hear
[Chorus]
So here I am for what it’s worth
I spilled my blood against the earth
Just to see the world in colour (the world in colour)
[Verse 2]
Dead; left for dead and left to rot
A tainted memory, an empty afterthought
I’d lay my whole life on the line just to see this through
If it consumes me, let the script upon my tomb read:
I found my love and let it kill me
[Breakdown]
I found my love and let it, kill, me
[Verse 3]
“Beg and plead, your own ambition brought you to your knees
Beg and plead, you built this prison, and buried the key”
[Bridge]
A momentary lapse, the colours fade to grey...
As if the world we knew was never meant to be...
I know I’ll pay for my mistakes
Just promise me you’ll take
Take my word and take my everything
[Chorus]
So here I am for what it’s worth
I spilled my blood against the earth
Just to see the world in colour (the world in colour)
So give me all you came here for
Give me hell and give me war
I’ll be waiting for an answer
[Breakdown]
I found my love and let it kill, me

"The Slow Decay", one of the bests tracks from the new album. Incredible song!
I haven’t had chills listening to a song in a minute. Your guys music is amazing! I’ll be jamming it all day at work now.
This song literally covers everything I love about this genre of music. Melodic, yet still beasty and full on punch!
2022 and this is still one of my best favourite song ever across all music genres... This is just masterpiece. Its hard, soft, energic... Every time i hear this song im transforming myself into wild animal.
The chorus outro/breakdown is everything
There's something really special about this song.
Jamie is SUCH an amazing vocalist! I've seen them live when I only just got to know them, and the man is like... 85% torso, straight up power!
Why does Australia have such a good metalcore scene?
because they aren't in it for the money like so many bands... They simply release the best music because they have a passion for it
Dylan Gauthier yeah you feel it in Atlas and before with PD
Now Japan too. Crystal Lake is god status
I grew up through the aus metalcore golden days. Was glorious. The days when pwd were still playing local halls.
Man I'm from Melbourne and I've written like 100 metalcore etc., tunes, because I love that shit.
Am 26 now, when I was 19, joined a couple bands but the other guys piss-farted around.
Still trying.
RIP Ryan, Gutted. Thanks for all the music, rest easy homie. 🖤
All of the songs they make are all bangers and I'm glad to call Polaris my favorite band. Keep it up boys.
“The devil beside me is whispering doubt in my ear. I’ll keep pretending not to hear”. Gives me fucking chills everytime.
I've been watching this video very often since it came out and I've gotta say this is definitely my favorite music video. Also one of my favorite songs.
Heard about the guitarist death and decided to give these guys a listen. I'm gonna be listening to a lot of Polaris from now on. RIP Ryan
New album is amazing
Expected very little; got utterly brilliant music.
“I found my love and let it kill me.” Best line and breakdown is amazing and super bouncy
What the actual fuck? This is my first time hearing these guys, literally all the hair on my body is standing on end.
This might be the most I've ever liked a song the first time hearing it. Total flame super fire ridiculousness. HOLY SHIT!
Duuuuudeee same
The album is by far one of if not the best I've heard in 2017. Every song is an absolute banger, so glad my mate showed me you
GOD THOSE LYRICS ARE SICK. Always a fan of music and message. ❤️🤘🏻
"An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times. I think that is true of painters, sculptors, poets, musicians. As far as I’m concerned, it’s their choice, but I CHOOSE to reflect the times and situations in which I find myself. That, to me, is my duty. And at this crucial time in our lives, when everything is so desperate, when everyday is a matter of survival, I don’t think you can help but be involved. Young people, black and white, know this. That’s why they’re so involved in politics. We will shape and mold this country or it will not be molded and shaped at all anymore. So I don’t think you have a choice. How can you be an artist and NOT reflect the times?" -Nina Simone.
I was scrolling through the comments and thinking that I was the only person who felt that way
Jamie's lyrics hit so hard throughout this whole album - when he drops the keyword on Masochist during the breakdown halfway through, it chokes me up a bit because it sounds so familiar
That final chorus/verse is so powerful with the slow mo and the petals falling
This song is my favorite song of all time. It’s so good! I loved the live version that was filmed at Download by a dude named Jake Baker!
One of the best heavier releases from Australia this year and they absolutely killed it on the Remedy tour HELL YEAH
when the guilt and the grief came out i knew these boys would explode. hell yeah
I absolutely love the cleans from this vocalist. They were killer on the last album, and just as good on this one.
These vocals are literally fucking INSANE. These guys can actually go all the way.
This song is so real and has deep purity in the lyrics. Explains that you can never be to careful.
you guys are seriously UNBELIEVABLE... can't wait till you do a north american tour! COME TO VANCOUVER, CANADA!!!
Such a privilege to have seen them perform this live. RIP Ryan. :(
October 2020 and I still listen to this song almost everyday. Hyped like the first day. Love Polaris band goddammiiittttt
I remember when the guilt and the grief came out and how amazing that was. Now I’m Absolutely stoked for this to be released, 2 more sleeps !
One of the best performance videos I've seen in years!!! Much appreciated! Great song too.
Jesus Christ. Just found you guys on Lauren Babic’s too Metal picks Spotify playlist and haven’t been this hyped by a new find in a long time. Love this.
Lauren’s awesome!
Finally a metal band without annoying clean vocals so high pitched they can break the sound barrier.
best metalcore i been hearing,, if you can call it metalcore.... i would call it groove metal with core elements... no matter very very good
Holy shit! That breakdown hits hard. BEG AND PLEAD!!! Your own ambition brought you TO YOUR KNEES!!!!
I met and chatted with the screamer Jamie after a show, really great guy and band. They deserve all the fame they get, rock on guys 🤙🏼
This fucking album.... I couldnt stop listening to it all day at work! Riffs are so sick and heavy, and the vocals are so energetic and angsty while the choruses are very smooth, melodic and emotional. Then the heavy riff that comes in after right after the chorus is like a punch to the gut to get you bent over and fucking moshing.
Beautiful song writing from start to finish. There isnt a song that sounds 'out of place' on this album. The only negative I can think of about this album is i now have to wait another year or two for the next album :( *FUCK MY LIFE*
thanks for supporting we came as Romans you guys are awesome and come back to the UK again :)
Just discovered this band. I can't stop listening to this song. The end made laugh that laugh where something is just so great you can't help but smile. Amazing
These guys are so good! I'm so happy my buddy told me about them! This is what metalcore music should be like!
this is so beautiful.. that chorus is pure genius ..!!
RIP RYAN YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN OUR HEARTS
Everything I've heard from these guys has not disappointed! Epic sound!
Seen them live lastweekend in Albuquerque, NM. They were amazing to say the least!!!!!
This will be the best album of the year
Jesseeminoni Eminoni One of the bests because Trivium did the best of year btw
Lucas Renato 😂 just go 👉
I have loved this band since first hearing them in 2017 with the release of The Mortal Coil. They have come so far and deserve all the recognition they have been getting lately! With the passing of Ryan we are all in mourning but it’s nice to see everyone reflect back on their previous work. He lives on through their beautiful music! Very excited for the new album! Stay strong fellas! 🖤🙏🏻
