Having unexpectedly delivered the much-anticipated ‘Post Human: NeX Gen’ album last month, Bring Me The Horizon has premiered a video for ‘Top 10 staTues tHat CriEd bloOd’.
Maintaining the dystopian/cyberpunk aesthetic of the album, it sees the quartet perform in an underground club while lightsabre-wielding humans and cyborgs fight it out.
“’Statues’ dives deeper into the world of Post Human. The video continues the exploration of what it means to be human in an age where technology can alter our very nature and gives keen-eyed fans more lore to dive into and discuss on their quest for uncovering the full Post Human lore,” commented Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes.
The video is also littered with film, TV, and video game references. ‘The Terminator,’ ‘TRON,’ ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,’ ‘The Last of Us’ and we’re going to throw in ‘Wall-E’ out there as a reference too.
Despite it being released at short notice, ‘Post Human: NeX Gen’ has been a success with over a 100 million streams in just two weeks.
‘Top 10 staTues tHat CriEd bloOd’ Lyrics
I guess that some of us
Are just born with tragedy
In our blood
It’s just basic chemistry
OR maybe all these open wounds
Is how the light gets into you
Cos I’m starting to realise
No one’s gonna come and
Rescue me
I’m drowning in my sleep
The scars have got too deep
And no amount of love could
Set you free
The fight’s inside
I’ll take myself to hell and back
Tonight we go to war
Someone put a gun
Straight to our hearts
And paint the walls with our love
There’s a world of hurt in us
And maybe once we spill our guts
We can stitch ourselves back up
Yeah I’m starting to realise
No one’s gonna come and
Rescue me
I’m drowning in my sleep
The scars have got too deep
And no amount of love could
Set you free
The fight’s inside
I’ll take myself to hell and back
Tonight we go to war
Cos I know
That you’re low
But once you hit the bottom
At Least there’s nowhere to go but up
Yeah I know
That you’re low
But once you hit the bottom
AT Least there’s nowhere to go but up
YEAH
The hardest thing you’ll ever know
IS there’s no love like your own
No there’s no love like your own
Cos no one’s gonna come and
Rescue me
I’m drowning in my sleep
The scars have got too deep
And no amount of love could
Set you free
The fight’s inside
I’ll take myself to hell and back
No one’s gonna come and
Rescue me
I’m drowning in my sleep
The scars have got too deep
And no amount of love could
Set you free
The fight’s inside
I’ll take myself to hell and back
Tonight we go to war
