Svalbard - Open the cages

from Split w/Svalbard by the tidal sleep

lyrics

Just because it was where someone was born
Doesn't mean that it's where they belong
Just because it was how someone was born
Doesn't mean that it's how they should be
Let anyone change anything
And live however they want to be
Freedom for one, freedom for all
A chance for one, a chance for anyone
A chance to live, to live open and free
Not in the shadows of others hatred
Cast by values so outdated
Not under the threat of violence
Never bullied into silence.
Oh how they will try to desolate your spirit
Just as they realise they they cannot break it
Oh how they will try to desolate your spirit
Just as they realise they they cannot break it
What is so threatening about our differences?
What is so threatening about the love in our hearts?
What did they do from the position of privilege
But hijack institutions and sell them back to rich kids?
What did they do from the position of privilege
but maintain oppression and champion ignorance?
What did they do from the position of privilege
But hijack institutions and sell them back to rich kids?
What did they do? What do we say?
Open the cages.
Erase the borders.
Smash through the ceiling.
No confinement for anything.

Black Line
by Respire

supported by 7 fans who also own “Open the cages”

I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight

When I Die, Will I Get Better?
by Svalbard

supported by 7 fans who also own “Open the cages”

This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee
