Seaking

Recommended Posts

They'll try to steal your life

So watch your back

You're not alone

But you must actualise

The first attack

 

Having a love affair with Assassin. Especially those last two lines.

 

Lose control, lose your faith

Lingering hours, time to erase

Lose control, lose your faith

Lingering hours, turn to the grave :awesome:

 

Personally, I like to mix Debase and the album version together with the lyrics 'cause there's bits I love from both. I do the same with Exo-Politics and Plug In Baby too.

I like to mix them too. Both of them have some great lines.

Glorious is bringing me to tears lately.

But that might have more to do with my own current crisis of faith than the actual quality of the lyrics, who knows.

 

Faith

It drives me away

But it turns me on, like a stranger's love

 

It rockets through the universe

It fuels the lies, it feeds the curse

Believes we could be glorious

 

I need to believe

But I still want more

with the cuts and the bruises

Don't close the door

On what you adore

 

 

 

Pretty much sums up how I am feeling right now.

Faith, you're driving me away

You do it everyday

You don't mean it

But it hurts like hell

 

My brain says I'm receiving pain

A lack of oxygen

From my life support

My iron lung

 

We're too young to fall asleep

To cynical to speak

We are losing it

Can't you tell?

 

We scratch our eternal itch

A twentieth century bitch

And we are grateful for

Our iron lung

 

The headshrinkers, they want everything

My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

The headshrinkers, they want everything

My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

 

Suck, suck your teenage thumb

Toilet trained and dumb

When the power runs out

We'll just hum

 

This, this is our new song

Just like the last one

A total waste of time

My iron lung

The headshrinkers, they want everything

My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

The headshrinkers, they want everything

My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

 

And if you're frightened

You can be frightened

You can be, it's OK

And if you're frightened

You can be frightened

You can be, it's OK

 

The headshrinkers, they want everything

My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

Wash me away,

Clean your body of me,

Erase all the memories,

They only bring us pain.

 

The lyrics just written down don't really do it justice.

The way it goes from the angsty, intense, mood of the start of the song to the slow, dreamy part is really :awesome:

It's sort of like it's letting out a sigh, like it's finally letting go of something and is at peace :)

 

 

 

 

That's my little bit of deep-ness for the day :LOL:

pink ego box was genius

 

but really, sing for absolution has some good lyrics. T2L has some horrible lyrics, songs like survival and supremacy make me cringe. "brainwashing our children to be mean"?

 

You can say that every album has horrible lyrics, if you just take the song with bad lyrics

 

Best songs for lyrics IMO are Citizen Erased, Screenager, Hoodoo, Assassin, Burning Bandits, Fury, Megalomania, Futurism and maybe Glorious and City Of Delusion.

 

Aye. Animals too. My favourite lyrics are the CoD ones, I think.

Map of the Problematique has always been one of my favorites lyrically. It could just be the way it is sung. In the second half, Matt's singing coupled with the frantic music gives an almost desperate feel to it that make the lyrics stand out. Something like that. And (if true) I like the "fear and panic in the air" reference to the name of Mars's moons, which were named after the Greek gods of Fear and Panic. Clever tie in to the theme of the album.

Someone tell me why she breaks my fall and then breaks my heart

 

^ That hurts me, it's a simple line but the way Matt sings it. Oof :(

 

I really dig Easily and Map of The Problematique too.

 

And can we all agree how cool Matt sings the line "Kill yourself. Come on and do us all a favor." in Animals :happy:
