2. Boston-based ambient sludge metal band. The band combines a wide variety of influences, creating a style of post-metal that fuses the melancholy and melody of bands like Cult of Luna and Katatonia with massive, crushing riffs and a sense of urgency hinting at their roots in hardcore and sludge (ala Crowbar, Will Haven, Coalesce, etc).
The band released a well-received self-titled debut EP in 2008 on Forgotten Empire records, and a split 12" LP with Monolith (Philadelphia) in 2010 on the NYC-based Silence of Silence label. As of November 2010, the group has changed their name to simply 'VYGR' to avoid confusion with other acts, and has recorded a full-length album titled "Hypersleep" which is due for a January 2011 release through San Francisco label, Creator-Destructor.

Voyager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wouldn't it be nice if I pretended that I care?
I can promise her a life of wonderful perfection
I can promise her that I will lead her from despair
Come the day and I'll be over
And she will leave me all alone
Will I stay?
Will I stay sober?
She
Drags me under
Pulls me over
Now I'm sober
She
I don't want her anymore
I don't need her anymore
So I leave her, standing at the door...
When I look at her a creeping guilt lies in my lusting
Does she realise just what she's doing to herself?
I can promise her a life of wonderful perfection
I can promise her that I will lead her from despair
Come the day and I'll be over
And I will leave her all alone*
Will I stay?
Will I stay sober?
Or just bottle all my shame?
She
Drags me under
Pulls me over
Now I'm sober
She
I don't want her anymore
I don't need her anymore
So I leave her, standing at the door...
The lyrics in Voyager's "Sober" tell the story of a relationship that is built upon a foundation of lies and deceit. The singer admits to pretending to care for his partner, promising her a life of perfection and leading her from despair, despite knowing that he will inevitably leave her alone. He is consumed with guilt and shame, and wonders if he will be able to remain sober, or if he will give in to his vices and bottle up his emotions.
Throughout the song, the singer feels as though he is being dragged under and pulled over by his partner. He recognizes the damage that she is doing to herself by clinging to him, but he is also aware of the damage that he is causing to her. Ultimately, he realizes that he no longer wants or needs her, and he chooses to leave her standing at the door.
Overall, "Sober" is a powerful song about the complexities of human relationships and the struggles that come with addiction and emotional turmoil. It highlights the pain and emotional toll that such relationships can take on both parties, and the difficulties that arise from trying to create a perfect life built on lies and deceit.

I'm so badly addicted by these guys: I've found them two days ago and I cannot stop playing their albums over and over... the mixture of genres they put in the songs leaves me speechless, and that 80s sounds sometimes they put in there is... well... pure genius, no other word could explain better... I really hope they come to Italy soon or later... cheers!

@metalman301
I dont understand why songs like this arent on mainstream radio. This is a really good song.
@Beetlesiri
I know your comment is ancient, but I am responding anyways.
The fact is sex sells. Nowadays so many people want to watch someone show off their body or directly talk about drugs. The nuances of innuendo are also not as popular as they used to be a few decades ago.

2023 still a banger ❤️
