The group, originally a four-piece including Kraddy, was formed in 2006 within the burgeoning Los Angeles bass-driven 'beat' scene. The Glitch Mob made a name for themselves playing live, choosing to perform with laptops and MIDI controllers. They have won fans through showcasing their chosen technology during performance solos gaining attention in Los Angeles and San Francisco, eventually touring more widely along the West Coast and then to various festivals worldwide.
The group's debut album, Drink The Sea, debuted on the iTunes Electronic Chart at number five and peaked on the CMJ Top 200 Chart for College Radio at #57. The album's debut led Electronic Musician to run a cover story on the trio.

Palace Of The Innocents
The Glitch Mob Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ripenso un po' a chi ero e a quando sono nato
Resto quasi senza fiato
Quanto son mutato in adombrato dallo spensierato
Non sono maturato, m'hanno snaturato
Avevo un cuore pure e l'hanno catturato

Merda dove vado, vago...
Com'è questo fato? Vacuo!

...precipizio... pathos... cado!
Punto alto con un pugno di speranze
Come quando stai agitando un dado

Senza spago in questo dedalo
I ricordi che mi cercano
Vorrei fuggire cavalcando Pegaso
Su spiegato a chi mi ama e freme
Il che non riesco a dire neanche un semplice "ti voglio bene"

Vi voglio bene...
Genitori, nonni, amici veri
Starò vivo solo se restiamo assieme
E lei, innamorata, allontanata
Giuro che t'ho amata e che ti piangerò ogni cazzo di nottata!

Parole, che sanno di dolore...
L'amore mascherato sembra compassione...
Sparita la passione con persone
Se nella depressione c'è comprensione

La notte parla di te, e mi farà soffrire
La notte parla con me, ma riuscirò a capire?

Qualcosa qua mi tormenta
Sono da una vita che non faccio una scelta
Mentre ci prendiamo a pugni con la coscienza
Temo fortemente che la mente mi menta

Scappo, scrivo al volo scusa per la fretta
Lascio, pezzi di me a pezzi di merda

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Glitch Mob's song, Palace Of The Innocents, are in Italian and can be translated to English. It explores the idea of feeling lost and disconnected from one's past and true self. The lyrics contain a lot of introspective thoughts and self-doubt, which is reflected in the use of phrases like "I'm almost breathless", "how much I've changed", "they've taken away my heart", and "I'm tormented by something". The singer also reflects on the people who have stayed with them through the years and the ones who have left, and the emotional impact they've had on their life.

The overarching theme of the song appears to be a search for meaning and purpose in life. The singer laments that they haven't made any significant choices in a long time and expresses fear that their mind might be lying to them. However, they also express hope that they can continue to persevere through the difficult times and strive towards a better future. The song is a poignant reflection on the complexities of growing up and the challenges of finding one's place in the world.

Without a rope in this labyrinth

I ricordi che mi cercano
The memories that seek me

Vorrei fuggire cavalcando Pegaso
I want to escape riding on Pegasus

Su spiegato a chi mi ama e freme
Explaining to those who love me and tremble

Il che non riesco a dire neanche un semplice "ti voglio bene"

Genitori, nonni, amici veri
Parents, grandparents, true friends

E lei, innamorata, allontanata
And she, in love, distant

Giuro che t'ho amata e che ti piangerò ogni cazzo di nottata!
I swear I loved you, and I'll cry for you every fucking night!

Parole, che sanno di dolore...
Words, that taste of pain...

L'amore mascherato sembra compassione...
Masked love seems like compassion...

Sparita la passione con persone
Passion has disappeared with people

Se nella depressione c'è comprensione
If there's understanding in depression

La notte parla di te, e mi farà soffrire
The night speaks of you, and it'll make me suffer

The night talks to me, but will I be able to understand?

Qualcosa qua mi tormenta
Something here torments me

Sono da una vita che non faccio una scelta
I haven't made a choice in a lifetime

Mentre ci prendiamo a pugni con la coscienza
While we're fighting with our conscience

Temo fortemente che la mente mi menta
I fear strongly that my mind is lying to me

Scappo, scrivo al volo scusa per la fretta
I'm running away, I write a quick apology for my haste

Lascio, pezzi di me a pezzi di merda
I leave, pieces of me as pieces of shit

There he sat. On the edge of the cliff watching the birds fly past and fight for food. He was free of guilt. Like the many other souls that lived in his palace of purity. His palace of innocence.

The Glitch Mob's music is labeled mostly as "Electronica" however they've also fallen under the genre of "Glitch" and "Synthpop". Hope this helps.

@anonymousclay You are right about artists changing. I like this stuff too. It has a different feel. I just miss some of the energy and raw aspects of stuff like Crush Mode. I agree that they will continue to change, but, if they keep going in this direction of polished sounds, I may not like them quite as much. I would say I prefer their earlier sound, but they are both good. With that being said, I am going to go see them live for the second time in exactly a week and am extremely pumped.

there are many steps. glitch step,flowstep,dubstep,brostep,chillstep,and skipstep are most common. the glitch mob is a hybrid. they make glitch,flow,and chillstep aspects in their songs.but have more organized. or consecutive sounds than dubstep

@anonymousclay I am talking about from 2-3 years ago when they first started releasing works. Works like Crush Mode and their All the Cash remix. Crush Mode is my favorite mixtape, EP, or LP by them. I just think that We Can Make the World Stop and Drink the Sea were almost passive and polite in a way. I just miss the dirty grimy Glitch Mob. Kraddy was probably a big source of that influence. When he left, they turned more polite. Kraddy's solo stuff continues to be really grimy, though.

It's officially just called "Glitch" but "Glitch-Hop" can also be used.

@TrainsSeriously Formed in 2006, and first full album released in 2010. They've barely progressed as artists as far as I'm concerned. I can hear the difference in sounds you're talking about, but this is so little of what their body of work will likely become. Most artists sound completely different after their first release, and I can't think of a single artist that sounded the same after one of the founding members left.

"good" tone or "good" range is, again, subjective. Especially tone. Range, you can have a small or wide vocal range, etc; but that does not make them "good" or "bad". A singer can have the widest vocal range in the world, but if they prefer to sing in a range that I believe sounds terrible, then I'm obviously not going to like their music, and would quite thoroughly prefer someone with a small range that focuses more with what I prefer to hear.
