[Verse 1: Alice Glass] You never got to bloom They cut you from the stem You're innocent at birth Until you understand [Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass] Repeat every word that you say to me They put you to use or put you to sleep I can't tell you the difference between An embryo or a planted seed [Chorus: Alice Glass] So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know what you hate, so I do it constantly So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know how to cut a wound that will not heal [Verse 2: Alice Glass] Consistency of dirt Insects that spun your silk They wait for gratitude They wail for mother's milk [Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass] Repeat every word that you say to me They put you to use or put you to sleep I can't tell you the difference between An embryo or a planted seed [Chorus: Alice Glass] So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know what you hate, so I do it constantly So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know how to cut a wound that will not heal [Outro: Alice Glass] So many shades of white, so many- I know what you hate, so I do- So many shades of white, so many- I know what you hate, so I do- I know how to cut a wound that will not heal I know how to cut a wound that will not heal
One of my favorite Crystal Castles track. This tracks exemplifies their talent for creating effortlessly catchy synth hooks and deconstructing them in the most fabulous, gritty way possible. What creativity.
It was interesting what happened to me just now. I havent heard this song in 7 years. I had completely forgotten the lyrics but remembered the synths. As this song progressed, the lyrics slowly came back to me, and by the time Alice's final chrous hit, i was humming along remembering how vivid the lyrics were. This song is 12 years old but crystal castles will never cease being interesting. May this song be listened to for a thousand more years.

These people evoke mystery, love for one another, and a sound that penetrates all the happy places in ur brain. Thank u crystal castles for sharing what U have inside.
I got to see them live once at the Hollywood Palladium in 2012. I was yelling Yes, No when they closed with that song. I didn’t know they closed with it. I made my way to the front of the pit and Alice Glass threw herself into the crowd. I held her from her upper back. I actually touched her haha what a fucking band. One of the best ever. R.I.P. CC
Kerosene is absolutely horrifying and mystical, but Pap Smear absolutely demolishes it. Never danced to a song like I've danced to this one. "Tiktok CC Fans" *need* to look into Crystal Castle's music more and see the true gemstones lying around, like this song. (But then again, they might ruin the songs if they're discovered... so let's hope they stay buried, only uncovered by true fans.)
Idk i love the big amount of sadness in these songs. It feels amazing listening to those deep rhythms. Still surprised that people already knew how to make a heaven out of the songs. Nostalgic, but always have been listened to it with the same comfortableness
La música de Crystal Castles se caracteriza por su estilo vanguardista, mezclando elementos de electrónica, chiptune y noise. Su sonido a menudo es crudo, caótico y emocionalmente intenso. Han lanzado varios álbumes notables a lo largo de los años, como su álbum homónimo "Crystal Castles" (2008) y "II" (2010).
Sounds like Sonic losing a shitload of rings
Best comment ever
Sonic after too much E and way too drunk trying to run home crashing into everything all the time.
i was wondering what that sound was related too 🤔
Hmm tu é brasileiro n é memo ;)
I can't unhear it now LOL
[Verse 1: Alice Glass]
You never got to bloom
They cut you from the stem
You're innocent at birth
Until you understand
[Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass]
Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I can't tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed
[Chorus: Alice Glass]
So many shades of white, so many shades of pale
I know what you hate, so I do it constantly
So many shades of white, so many shades of pale
I know how to cut a wound that will not heal
[Verse 2: Alice Glass]
Consistency of dirt
Insects that spun your silk
They wait for gratitude
They wail for mother's milk
[Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass]
Repeat every word that you say to me
They put you to use or put you to sleep
I can't tell you the difference between
An embryo or a planted seed
[Chorus: Alice Glass]
So many shades of white, so many shades of pale
I know what you hate, so I do it constantly
So many shades of white, so many shades of pale
I know how to cut a wound that will not heal
[Outro: Alice Glass]
So many shades of white, so many-
I know what you hate, so I do-
So many shades of white, so many-
I know what you hate, so I do-
I know how to cut a wound that will not heal
I know how to cut a wound that will not heal
poetry.

I think I’ve become an addict to the amount of times I’ve listen to this, I love it so much, the background music and everything i can’t explain .
just like me you've fallen under the crystal curse. hard not to.
I am back. Always.
These people evoke mystery, love for one another, and a sound that penetrates all the happy places in ur brain. Thank u crystal castles for sharing what U have inside.
beautifully said
Lol ironic

It's sad to me
What a cool comment.
When i close my eyes i imagine being in a cave with gloworms
Imagine cave with penis
*deep*
I imagine an ice cavern
that light up in sync with the beat.
zz32 kra like the beat in 2:07 lmao that’d be sick
this song is pure magic.
Man, I discovered Crystal Castles way too late
Its never too late I guess, also discovered them recently

its never to late to discover crystal castles, theyre music is amazing and deserves to be heard by everyone
RIGHT !
Listening to this on the bus be a vibe fr
This song is like a drug. Definitely a spiritual experience.
It been years and I feel the same way every time I play this song
Same!
That's really rad.
Yes.
Man this was my jam in 2010. Such an amazing tune. Good times..sad what has happened. Hope Alice is good.
nah, THIS is the best song from this ppl, Kerosene wouldn't even stand a chance
kerosene is so overrated
LOL
the tiktok cc “fans” are missing OUTT smh
So many slaps, affection, fleece, concrete, empathy

WHOS HERE IN 2019?
This song reminds me of when i was a freshman in highschool 6 years ago
yessss
Exactly
I was a freshman in college. Time flies. One of the best albums ever
Holy shit same
Me too
I will always come back to this song no matter what year it is.
Me too. I love you CC
Are you sure?
So many shades of white
So many shades of pale
i accidentally read pale as piss
@@swaggy420x that would be pretty accurate
If only it was possible to make friends with Crystal castles fans in real life
Crystal Castles would be the music i would have to listen to before i went out in a hail of gun fire
Praise the Lord...i am in Heaven with this jam +++
It may sound badass, but getting shot in reality hurts. Wish for a quick death, if you get shot.
Meh I would have to agree though hopefully no hails of gun fire happen anytime I'm a peaceful man like my peace in this earth very much
No you got it wrong this song plays when there’s zombies and you’re shooting out, it’s the other way around
@@thehummingbird8790 *_WHEN THE SHARP, BURNING FEELING KICKS IN_*
Hands down the best CC song
yes its my favorite
Fr
I was gonna argue, but you know what? You’re god damn right

Verry good music with beautyful sounds effects . I love this

I know the beat is found in their other songs but I still love it. The voice reminds me of Bjork. Very nice work.
this is majestic
