"Time Consumer"
Coheed & Cambria
Second Stage Turbine Blade

Nmber of listens: |
Stars (out of 5): 4

I remember buying my first Coheed & Cambria CD back when a friend of mine said they were better than Trail of Dead. Thinking how that woud be impossible, but being curious for what genius music that would be, I picked up their CD. I wasn't disappointed but I also told my friend he was insane and they were NOT better than TOD. He then said I had to see them live to get the full effect. So I saw them live and still told him he was insane. C&C is good, yes, but in no way are they on Trail of Dead's levels both on stage or in the studio.

That being said, this is a good song. I love the beginning which is at least a minute of straight guitar work that emphasizes different beats at the right time. It creates a nice melody. I think C&C's distinctness (his voice) is what can turn a person away from their music. I, at times, can't stand it and at other times, fully embrace it's uniqueness.


The young stale memories of play the role to your part
Librarian find me the pole, the one that kicks your head in
With my own time role your own innocence by
Grab on to my sleeve the one that grabs at your ankle
Debate to understand that we all have a flaw
Then fail to represent your life as you know it
God grant you one wish to turn back the time
Correct and create, making sense of . . .

Me and my star, Matthew good night
You know by law when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew goodnight
You know my lord when you'll be forgiven

So they pulled your confidence down with those verbal discrepancies
Now and then you'll gain what they've lost through a challenge of unpronounced
Pain is only a pulse if you just stop feeling it
You might be able to use the very thing that makes us up

Me and my star, Matthew good night
You know by law when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew goodnight
You know my lord when you'll be forgiven

Wait, now, here when will you believe?
Me, I'm merely asking you to help me, when did I say to murder?
Wait now, here, please hear me out
Time consumer, time consuming, consume me
Down and out, now

Me and my star, Matthew good night
You know by law when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew goodnight
You know my lord when you'll be forgiven
