Beijing-based post-hardcore outfit LIFE AWAITS return with their heartfelt new single Paper Plane, featuring guest vocals from Aaron Gillespie of Underoath. Blending soaring melodies with cathartic intensity, the track delivers a powerful message of longing, distance, and emotional vulnerability.
Paper Plane balances post-hardcore urgency with ambient textures and dynamic songwriting, elevated by Gillespie’s unmistakable voice. His contribution adds a raw, emotional layer to the track — seamlessly complementing LIFE AWAITS' emotive sound and lyrical depth.
Lyrically, the song explores the fragility of connection, like a message drifting on the wind, never quite knowing if it will reach its destination. The band’s introspective storytelling is carried by atmospheric guitars, urgent drums, and a sweeping chorus that hits with both force and feeling.
With Paper Plane, LIFE AWAITS continue to push boundaries in the Asian heavy music scene, teaming up with one of post-hardcore’s most iconic voices for a track that’s as deeply personal as it is universally resonant.
