This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You won't move
So I won't follow
This used and makeshift path.
Born to serve,
Born seductive
To regulate our surges.
You will lie close.
You will lie covered.
I won't stare
And I won't stall you
As you turn to make your stand
Among the walking apparitions
That fade among the living.
You will lie close.
You will lie covered.
I will force aside the common revelation
That we'll formalize this constant evolution.
Here were stand striped and starving
As a stooped and tailored man.
We buy our lives and learn to spend it with swift and held hands.
We're the answer that came before the goal.
We're no answer at all.
You and I were made for each other,
Like heroes fall we will fall,
You and I have made the mistake
To hear the call hear our call.
I'm a dreamer and you're a taker.
Sin for the soul and savor the labor.
Why are the kids and the cowards all in line?
So I won't follow
This used and makeshift path.
Born to serve,
Born seductive
To regulate our surges.
You will lie close.
You will lie covered.
I won't stare
And I won't stall you
As you turn to make your stand
Among the walking apparitions
That fade among the living.
You will lie close.
You will lie covered.
I will force aside the common revelation
That we'll formalize this constant evolution.
Here were stand striped and starving
As a stooped and tailored man.
We buy our lives and learn to spend it with swift and held hands.
We're the answer that came before the goal.
We're no answer at all.
You and I were made for each other,
Like heroes fall we will fall,
You and I have made the mistake
To hear the call hear our call.
I'm a dreamer and you're a taker.
Sin for the soul and savor the labor.
Why are the kids and the cowards all in line?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
WONDERRRRRRFUL PIECE OF WORK!!! greagreatgreat
The last verse is amazing...such passion in the music and the vocals. God, I love Elliott.
As much as I'd like the world to know and appreciate how great Elliott is I would like their music all to myself.
I looove this song... but I don't think I fully understand it. someone help me!
words hardly show feeling. i cant put into words how much i love this song.
Amazing song. Just great.
This has got to be my second favorite song on False Cathedrals. Elliott has a unique and amazing sound unlike anyone else. I think this is about depending on someone or something to make decisions, and basically an outlook on how he views people, and how the one person you find is the one you will depend on most. :)
actually i think the last line to the song is- "when will the kings and the cowards fall in line?" at least that is what was in the lyric sheets
@grendel7 no it's "why are the kids and the cowards all in line"
great song. reminds me a lot of the appleseed cast's song 'and nothing less'.
i dont like how we cant edit comments, but i meant to say the lyrics for that song, the music and vocals for both of those songs are VERY different.
