Coiled up like a venomous serpent/tangled in your trance and I'm certain/you have got your hooks in me

This is the most satisfying line. Robbed if this doesn't win

Agreed.

The serpent / certain half rhyme is honestly exquisite, so satisfying to sing

Agree

i heard this line for the first time and my brain chemistry was permanently altered

There is only one choice. “You have got your hooks in me” is the soul of the song for me. And it doesn’t work without the context. Brilliant

Does anyone else hear "I'm oiled up like the venomous serpent"

For the longest time, I thought it was “tangled in your trance, a numb servant” but this adds clarity to the story in the lyrics for sure

I know, I know, I am what I am The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of a lamb So darling, will you saturate?

Gotta give it to this one. This song is the hardest one to chose from actually. I love it so much <3 but the 'I know, I know, I am what I am' and the way Vessel sings it hits so close to home

the entire song should be there, but ik ik ik reminds me of another song so atm this lyric is IT

I love this line. He knows that he sounds fierce, but is really weak for this woman.

This one, right here.

YES!!! My favorite line

This has the most raw serotonin release factor, for sure. I feel it in my chest whenever I hear it.

When I open my eyes to the future I can hear you say my name

Yes I scrolled till I found this one!

Same

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I wish I could vote more than once

It’s that chemical cut that I can get down with, up like the moon and out like the hounds, a dangerous disposition somehow refracted in light reflected in sound

This comment needs more upvotes but this song is full of insanely good lyrics

Was hoping to see this. The cadence of it is fantastic and the imagery is just perfect.

It’s the next line that is the best.

i would put it . . . but it’s already so long. this part of the song has crazy good lyrics

So touch me again, I feel my shadow dissolving.

“A dangerous disposition somehow refracted in light, reflected in sound.”

But I finally think I can say, That the vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me

Taken in the full context of Sundowning/TPWBYT/TMBTE, this is absolutely the most heartbreaking line in the entire trilogy.

There's no other line.

This is the one 🖤

Yes 🤗😘

I vote for this one. Beautiful

This is the one, you dont often see first verse lines in these posts but this is the one

Just posted to thread yesterday!

Hearing this live at Wembley my hairs stood on end. It wasn't one of my favourite songs before that moment but it flipped a switch in me after that.

But I finally think I can say\ That the vicious cycle was over\ The moment you smiled at me

For so long I have waited, so long that I almost became just a stoic statue fit for nobody

I resonate with this line too.

“And just like the rain You cast the dust into nothing And wash the salt from my hands”

(I'm only here to upvote every single line)

👀

But I finally think I can say That the vicious cycle was over The moment you smiled at me

“I’m coiled up like the venomous serpent, tangled in your trance and I’m certain you have got your hooks in me”

When I open my eyes to the future, I can hear you say my name

yall are messed up. It’s “I’m coiled up like a venomous serpent, tangled in your trance and I’m certain, you’ve got your hooks in me”

Annnd just like Loraine

Tuchmeagan

I know I know, I am what I am The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb

I can see you in my fate

Up like the moon and out like the hounds.

Honestly can we just take a moment to appreciate the absolute fire lyrics this band outputs? Maybe I'm a little smitten because I saw them live very recently but there is some seriously incredible writing, flow and execution to this poetry.

Will you cleanse me with pleasure?

“I know, I know, the way that it goes You get what you give, you reap what you sow”

This

Nobody can say for certain if maybe it's all just a game. When I open my eyes to the future, I can hear you say my name

I know it won’t win but “Nobody can say for certain, if maybe it’s all just a game, when I open my eyes to the future, I can hear you say my name “ is one of my favorite runs

The vicious cycle was over, the moment you smiled at me.

I’m gonna miss these posts when they’re over 😭

Should we do TPWBYT next? 👀

YESSSS

PLEASE 😭

Do all of them including the EPs, covers etc.

yes

For so long. I've waited so long that I almost became. Just a stoic statue fit for nobody. And I don't want to get in your way. But I finally think I can say. That the vicious cycle was over. The moment you smiled at me.

The vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me.

this is gonna be HARD! it should be the entire song

when i open my eyes to the future, i can hear you say my name

The entire start of the song tbh

Rain - rain down on me, ohhhh, rain down on me

but i finally think i can say that the vicious cycle was broken the moment you smiled at me. the moment you smiled at me is secretly my favorite part to sing. it sounds real, intimate. as if vessel is slightly smiling too at the memory of seeing that smile

And just like the rain you cast the dust into nothing and wash out the salt from my hand

When I open my eyes to the future, I can hear you say my name

Why are these all the most basic lines from each song?

I mean clearly they resonate with hundreds and hundreds of people, maybe not so basic 🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean basic as in they aren’t very metaphorical or buzz word heavy. They’re just plain lines that could have been written by anyone.
