“MANTRA” is a powerful but eerie alternative rock anthem that depicts how people blindly follow others. The highly-anticipated debut single off the band’s sixth studio album has Oli asking for people to get behind him to start a cult.
Like their previous album, That’s The Spirit, this song along wi...
[Verse 1]
Do you wanna start a cult with me?
I'm not vibrating like I oughta be
I need a purpose, I can't keep surfing
Through this existential misery
Now, we're gonna need some real estate
But if I choose my words carefully
Think I could fool you that I'm the guru
Wait, how do you spell "epiphany"?
[Chorus]
Before the truth will set you free, it'll piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
'Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Could I have your attention, please?
It's time to tap into your tragedy
Think you could use a new abuser
Close your eyes and listen carefully
Imagine you're stood on a beach
Water gently lapping at your feet
But now you're sinking, what were you thinking?
That's all the time we have this week
[Chorus]
Before the truth will set you free, it'll piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
'Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
[Bridge]
And I know this doesn't make a lot of sense
But do you really wanna think all by yourself now?
All I'm asking for's a little bit of faith
You know it's easy to believe
And I know this doesn't make a lot of sense
You know you gotta work the corners of your mind now
All I'm asking for's a little bit of faith
You know it's easy to, so easy to believe
[Chorus]
Before the truth will set you free, it'll piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Before the truth will set you free, it'll piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
'Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
Oh!

After the premiere of “MANTRA” on BBC Radio 1, Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oliver Sykes stated the following when interviewed by Annie Mac:
This song came very late in the writing process because we wrote loads of cool stuff and loads of different things and everyday we were like “What are we goi...
Not really. “MANTRA” came a bit later. We wrote a lot of cool stuff but we were kind of scared, like ‘What are we gonna show people first?’ We’re really proud of everything we’ve done, but how are we not going to completely alienate everybody when we show them this record?
I actually had a little b...
The video is about this guy who starts a cult, that’s me. Basically, he’s depressed, disillusioned and brainwashed from watching TV and doing nothing with his life. He decides to start this cult which does a lot better than he expected and gets out of hand until the rest of the world is in it. The g...
We did it [the interior shots] in Ukraine, at a place called October Palace, which is like… a big palace. They had these crazy Stanley Kubrick style rooms which looked proper legit. Actually in my head we [were going to have] a set but then the guy found this place and we were like this is definitel...
