11:11 and 22:22 were inspired by the loss of my grandfather, a person I looked up to for most of my life. I would visit him for most of his final months, but it never felt enough. There was still so much more I wanted to say and to share with him. There is never enough time.
lyrics
I’m so tired of repeating the same dreams
and I’m so tired of always missing you
and truly I’m sorry if this seems selfish
but I’m still waiting for one final goodbye
please just tell me this story doesn’t end like this
no longer can I hold on as you slowly fade
One of the best post-hc that I've ever heard, this stuff drills deep. Heart-grating album, full of bona fide cleansing fire. Spectre of sweet painful feelings that these guys adduce are so sincere, so real. Musicianship is awesome, plenty of little tricks and details going on all the time. Catharsis is the only word for this masterpiece. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
