I’ve thought for a bit that Coheed really popped off during the pandemic. This solidifies my thoughts. While other public figures complained about or went recluse because of the difficult circumstances, Coheed really made the most out of them. They interacted with the community a ton through social media, gave us an awesome collab when live concerts were not really happening, and now have given us this gem of an album. For many of us who are in our young adult years and have had a difficult quarter life crisis as the pandemic made the years roll by, a song like this, that ends with such an upbeat tune and reassuring message that we will figure things out at our own pace, is kind of exactly what we needed. As such, I have wept during the end of this song many times already.

I've grown from a high school kid with these guys, first hearing them at a Warped Tour some time in the IKSSE3 having never even heard the band (I was waiting to see Yellowcard when they came on, bah!). I was awestruck. I hunted down everything I could by them as soon as I could and didn't miss a show through my town for then next decade (I even travelled to see the Neverender tour). What a band. What a time to be alive. This band's music connects with me in a way no other band ever has. Thanks for the memories.

What a conclusion to an astonishing album! A base of C&C, with notes of an operatic show, a dash of Porcupine Tree, hints of Dream Theater, uproars of A7X, but a totally unique outcome. This and 'Shoulders' are my favourite songs to listen to right now.

The definition of a spectacle. The album is great, and this song is a flawless endcap to it.

i realized today that there is no word for when the goosebumps get too intense. i needed that word to describe the last two minutes of that monster of a song.

There has been quite a few times Coheed sends you on a journey at the end of their albums like 21:13, the final cut, and on the brink which are some of my favorites. They got away from that for awhile but I feel like this song slots right back into that role and I'm all for it.

And so concludes this chapter As my parents unravel the entangled threads of my reality Not of design but by accident My perception in question As I leave the infinite for the present And rise a window of the waking mind Here's a simple story And I hope I tell it well Of a boy locked in a place His mind, the very cell Imprisoned with his wild visions Of every time in space There's no one in this world quite like him The thing that complicates it Is his parents and who they are The law they made to run from Beyond the house of the stars The birth must be in secret So no prying eyes can see There's no one of this world quite like him Our pride and joy are you there? Are you in there, safe and sound? Tell us what you need, so we can help you We don't know what to do We don't know what to do Patronizing doctors with their diagnostic leads Carry on your query It's blood the boy, he bleeds But you can't see him like you So a monster he must be There's no one in this world quite like him Vaxis son Do you hear us? Do you feel us? Vaxis, Vaxis, Vaxis Vaxis, can you see us with your eyes? Vaxis, can you hear us with your ears? Is this right to calculate his moments? To find what's normal is being normal What's right? What's right? Can you feel it? No Can you hear it? No Time, I'll take you home This child of ours I'll take you home With all my love I'll give you the world And keep no secrets from you So life gets tough But it's no excuse or your fault My brightest star Shine your light on us all Am I wrong or did he save me? Shine your love on all this crazy Who says you got to rush to get old? Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold Little one, let them, don't follow, just set them free You can do it on your time So you know I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth Don't you go poking while the lion, he sleeps My boy, it's okay to cry I'm telling you time Who says you got to rush to get old? Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold Little one, let them, don't follow, just set them free You can do it on your time So you know I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth Don't you go poking while the lion, he sleeps My boy, it's okay to cry Time

One of my absolute new favorite Coheed tracks. This has broken my top five, maybe top three

It's lovely to see how marriage and fatherhood developed Claudio's lyrical style.

This song is almost perfect, except for that one part where it ends

When the end of this song played at St. Louis Music Park, I sat in my seat, slow-clapping with tears in my eyes. It was really special.

All I want is for the next 3 albums in this pentalogy to release so they can start making movies on them.

I've listened to this song no less than 30 times today, and every time, I'm left as an emotional wreck. Such a fucking banger.

Anyone that goes through life without experiencing this song, hasn’t truly experienced life. Thanks for always being there to make life as good as it can be, Coheed!

What a freaking beautiful masterpiece! Wow! You have outdone yourselves with this one for real!

So without a doubt Coheed is the greatest artist to grace the surface of our generation hands down. We don't deserve them. 🤍

What a way to finish the album, absolutely incredible. I love the mix of musical styles across this album, it sounds completely unique but unmistakeably Coheed.

I'm really excited to see where this story's going.

Masterpiece

This... it's beautiful. Words fail me, and cannot do this justice. The orchestral outro of Old Flames really topped this off. I've no other words at all. Just listen.

My god this song is something unbelievable.

The thing i like about this song mostly is the fact at the end it loops back to the first song of the album so having the whole thing in repeat is nice.
