Pre-order The Weight of Things We Cannot Touch here ‘Exit’ is a song about survivor’s guilt. It is addressed to someone who is gone, by someone who watched and did nothing: “I left you at home, left you alone” and, at the very end, “I let you face it all by yourself.” Between those two lines is everything the narrator failed to say in time, advice offered too late and too cheaply, alongside a horrible awareness of what he was watching. It is the least riff-driven song on the album, built so that the production and the vocals do the work instead. There are synths, violins and pads on it, and the detail to listen for is the arpeggio running in the background. On the song, guitarist Richard Sörensen comments:
“This song had many riffs and parts that were scrapped. It started with merging two incomplete tracks. One had only Adam‘s vocals and an acoustic guitar, and the other was an almost finished metal track with blast beats and other weird stuff. What became the whole song is basically what used to be the end breakdown. It’s very simple and more about letting the production and vocals shine than the riffing. This is kinda what it would sound like if we made an Emmure track.” Vocalist and bassist Adam Dahlman adds:
“I love the melodic riff Richard wrote that breaks up the heavy parts and serves as a strong bridge.” |
