Bring Me the Horizon – Mantra
Mantra [Verse 1] Do you wanna start a cult with me? I'm not vibrating like I ought to be I need a purpose, I can't keep surfing Through this existential misery Now we're gonna need some real estate But if I choose my words carefully Think I could fool you that I'm the guru Wait, how do you spell epiphany? [Chorus] Before the truth will set you free It will piss you off Before you find a place to be You're gonna lose the plot Too late to tell you now One ear and right out the other one 'Cause all you ever do Is chant the same old mantra [Verse 2] Could I have your attention, please? It's time to tap into your tragedy Think you could use a new abuser Close your eyes and listen carefully Imagine you're stood on a beach Water gently lapping at your feet And now you're sinking, what were you thinking? That's all the time we have this week [Chorus] Before the truth will set you free It will piss you off Before you find a place to be You're gonna lose the plot Too late to tell you now One ear and right out the other one 'Cause all you ever do Is chant the same old mantra [Bridge] And I know this doesn't make a lot of sense But do you really wanna think about yourself now? All I'm asking for's a little bit of faith You know it's easy to believe And I know this doesn't make a lot of sense You know you gotta work the corners of your mind now All I'm asking for's a little bit of faith You know it's easy to believe So easy to believe [Chorus] Before the truth will set you free It will piss you off Before you find a place to be You're gonna lose the plot [Chorus] Before the truth will set you free It will piss you off Before you find a place to be You're gonna lose the plot Too late to tell you now One ear and right out the other one 'Cause all you ever do Is chant the same old mantra |
“MANTRA” is a very powerful track, although “rock anthem” is a more appropriate word for this single telling how familiar people are: how blindly and thoughtlessly they can follow their “guide”. The long-awaited debut single from the sixth studio album of the group Bring Me The Horizon was released on August 21, 2018. In the song, Oli declares his desire to create a new cult and asks people to support him. The song MANTRA, like the rest of the upcoming album, is completely produced exclusively by Oli Sykes and keyboard player Jordan Fish, which guarantees us complete autonomy of the sound so loved by all BMTH fans.
