| Placebo – Julien Lyrics | 16 years ago |

"Fallen angels in the night And everyone is far from heaven" ..should be: "...And everyone is barred from heaven" LOVE this song!! i love how Brian's opening "The payback is here" and his catchy "slow motion suicide".. I imagine an attempt at suicide to be quick with as little pain as possible, but a "slow motion suicide" implies a prolonged suffering or a slow death that someone is bringing onto themself. I feel this other individual had a caustic nature about them, and now, like freckle93 said, Brian's getting his revenge. Can someone please explain his use of numbers in this song! like: "Just one more hit to make it right, But every one turns into seven" and "Now that's it's snowing in your brain, Even ten will not placate you" I really don't get these parts :(.. Thank you in advance!! |

| Placebo – The Never-Ending Why Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'm unsure about your "As spiders kissing fly"... but the next line "And the tumor becomes a rhyme" ..should be: "And the tumor becomes malign" which ties in with the theme of the rest of the song. Brian sings about the worst outcomes in his given scenarios.. -an imploding atom -the downfall of a kingdom -a tremor becoming an earthquake -a body found in a lake.. and etc. I'm not sure but think it's got to do with the maybe accepting the inevitable, instead of searching for answers that don't exist or can't be explained - i.e. the never-ending why. In the chorus I feel he's telling us that time, an infinite continuum independent to us, isn't on our side, and also perhaps it isn't ours for the taking. |

Just some corrections ;) "He's a fucking pantomime" ..I listended to this one a couple of times and it sounded more like: "He's a fucking pal of mine" "Let me take you far away With the devil in the details We'll kiss and tremble with the light" ..should be: "Let me take you for a ride With the devil in the details We'll kiss and tremble with delight" |

I've just been listening to the album on their website and firstly can I say WOW! This album is definitely no disappointment after Meds. But yeah, Ive got a couple of lyrical corrections so I'll just post them as I go :P. (Also, thanks for submitting the lyrics btw) "Nearly start a fire" ..should be: "You really start a fire" "Makes me start to sigh" ..should be: "Hits from side to side" "I shiver off my jeans and I'm so unsatisfied You're all that I require" ..should be: "Batsheba of my choosing, I'm so unsatisfied You got what I require" I also don't think any of the "hearts" in the chorus are meant to be plural. It makes sense to have a single "heart" shared between two people, to emphasize the fragility of their intimacy when the two are "apart". |
