Coheed and Cambria, Second Stage Turbine Blade, Track 9, fading outro: "And i'll be bigger"
"And i'll be bigger"
Why is this lyric so powerful? It's so simple but so genuine. You can witness the thought process of a child. The lack of understanding, the desire to be more than what you are. This wish and aimless passion is embodied in those simple childish statements. Coheed and Cambria thread I guess.

Coheed lyrics are just like that, even if sometimes the lyrics didn't make sense you still understood the meaning. Claudio had a way with words he's since lost.

I really like this album but I've never took the lyrics literal or really read into them, Claudio's delivery was enough to set the tone. Junesong Provision is my favourite songs of theirs and this album.
Gotta be pretty chronological for me
Second Stage > Secrets > Good Apollo 2 >(it's close) Good Apollo 1 > Afterman 1 > Blackrainbow > Afterman 2 > Sun
Sun is just such a dissapointment. Say what you want about Afterman and Rainbow but Coheed is pretty dead with this album
I completely understand. i mean really, every song can be taken on that level. They all carry you so surreally through this emotion sphere of hope and despair without ever losing energy or sounding stale. I just find that when you look at the lyrics they are...odd in the most curious of ways. It's hard to explain but the way Claudio used to make his meter was unique and his word choices were so fitting.
Why Ascension so high?
I didn't like Rainbow but The Afterman albums were pretty good IMO. A lot of the songs felt like they could have easily been on one of the first four albums. But Color out of the Sun is hot garbage. I think the well is just dry at this point, the band just isn't inspired anymore, it's not even conceptual, it has nothing to do with the Amory Wars universe. So the album is like double worthless
>And i'll be bigger
it's actually "and i'll be moving on" lmao
one of my absolute favourites albums though. top 5 material.
I can see what you're saying. To me the Afterman albums seemed like they weren't trying to do anything but relive past glory. Yeah, some of those songs would fit on the first albums but that's because they are so safe. I mean I like Domino the Destitute but it's just not as organic as what it's imitating. Good Apollo tried to do something new, really i think it was the height of their thematics. I mean it was the climax of the Amory Wars and they had brought a fitting stage of sound for the presentation.
I like most of Ascension, but a few songs really stand out. Mothers of Men, Domino the Destitute, Vic the Butcher are some of my all time Coheed songs. I know some consider it blasphemy, but I put it above Good Apollo v1 because I think The Welling Well songs aren't that great even though they make up more than half the album's runtime
