Thrice (which means three times) is a band from Southern California. This band uses intricate drumming that is accompanied by simplistic bass and guitar riffs. This record in particular is more mellow than their other works. It is atmospheric. This song is inspired from the narrator trying to live up to the word of the Law, that is presented in the Old Testament. It is very impossible for us to do. The words are “beautiful” and dread” but one will ultimately keep failing if one kept trying to fulfill the book of the Law. At the end of the song, it is when Jesus comes and saves the narrator from continuously failing. Jesus already fulfilled the demands and lifted the curse from his heart.

Lyrics:
Standing knee deep in cold water, swiftly moving, somehow I knew I’d lost something
Wading waist-deep I saw a book there in the river, waiting for me to find it there.
I tried to read it, neck deep, treading water, but the tide pulled me out to sea.
Then, with water in my eyes, the words began to rise from their place.
They were beautiful and dread; I reached for them and fed on each phrase.
They were honey on my lips, but then a bitter twist in my side.
I knew they’d lay me in my grave, “Is there no one who could save me?” I cried.
Sinking, down deep through cold water and heavy silence, shadows stirring in the gloom.
What things that lay sleeping down deep in the darkness woke then, to find me in my tomb?
Then, with water in my eyes, the words began to rise from their place.
They were beautiful and dread; I reached for them and fed on each phrase.
They were honey on my lips, but then a bitter twist in my side.
I knew they’d lay me in my grave, “Is there no one who could save me?” I cried.
When I lost all hope to look, someone took that heavy book from my hands,
all its weight they set aside, after they had satisfied its demands.
I felt white and black reverse, and the lifting of a curse from my heart.
Then like one receiving sight, I beheld a brilliant light in the dark.
Thanks for listening!
