Metalcore leaders Parkway Drive have returned with a new single and video today. “Glitch’ is their first new single since their acclaimed album 2018’s Reverence was released in 2020. The single is streaming on all DSPs and you can watch the clip right now!
“Parkway Drive have always walked the line of balancing the light and the dark, and ‘Glitch’ is no exception,” the band shares. “Sonically, we aimed to create a dark, heavy, and unnerving journey while still crafting a melody that burrows its way into your mind. Lyrically, the song deals with the phenomenon of night terrors and sleep paralysis. We all know the power our minds possess, but true terror manifests when your mind and all its fears takes physical control of your body. The glitch in your brain, where nightmares and reality cross.”

Lyrics
I feel a glitch in the cortex
Like a ghost in the shell
Caught the devil playing mind tricks
I feel the dread close in like the walls of a cell
I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot take
One more night on the dark side of my mind
I close my eyes to sleep, the shadows speak
And they won’t stop when I’m awake
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
The fear inside of me
The fear hit like a shell shock
Body froze like my heart stopped
REM waves got my limbs locked down
but my eyes wide open
Sheer terror manifest before me
I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot take
Living this way on the dark side of my mind
I close my eyes to sleep, the shadows speak
And they won’t stop when I’m awake
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
Sleep paralysis
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me the fuck out
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
It’s the fear inside of me
I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot take
One more night on the dark side of my mind.
