Forgive Durden – It's True Love (feat. Greta Salpeter) Lyrics 11 years ago
Adakias:
It seems to me like every star
Agreed to meet right over our heads tonight
To flex there bright

Anhura:
The light collects in your eyes
Turns and reflects, jumps into mine
I'm a slave to the sign.

Adakias:
My hands shake
Our minds race from the thought of love
Yet we curb our speech because words are not enough
To etch this instant, burn this moment into our memory
Let go, take my hand and trust in me.
Anhura, can't you see, that we were meant to be?

It's true love (x4)

Anhura:
I never would guess your touch could
Fill me with such thoughts to marry you
Have your babies too
Is it too good to be true?

Adakias:
I can't let her learn about my past
If she found out where I came from, she'd turn so fast
And not look back
I can't go back
I just won't go back!

Anhura:
I can't slow down
I'm scared I'm falling too fast
Adakias, can't you see that I knew at first kiss?

Adakias and Anhura:
We were meant to be!

Adakias:
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined for something bigger than your skin?

Anhura:
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined for something bigger than your skin?

Adakias:
I can feel it
Affirming my significance
Rendering me weightless
Confirming my purpose

Adakias:
I can feel it

Anhura:
Tendons tensing in its wake

Adakias:
Affirming my significance

Anhura:
Shifting my shoulder blades

Adakias:
Rendering me weightless

Anhura:
Trickling down my veins

Adakias:
Confirming my purpose

Anhura:
It's subtle as a tidal wave

Adakias and Anhura:
It's true love (x8)

Narrator:
Love was everywhere
You could taste it in the air
The couple was eager to trade vows
To float away, and settle down
But first, Adakias had to meet Anhura's father
His Majesty, the one and only
His Royal Highness, the King
He had to kiss his jeweled fist
And bow to the crown, kneeling on the ground
He would propound to become her prince

Wolf Gang – The King and All of His Men Lyrics 12 years ago
Here's what I hear:

Well, you can fight it, but you know
That you won’t get your way in the end

Too many people, the king and all of his men


And if you’re dealing a line of cards

Won't you take me to the queen of hearts?


And if you’re trying
To tear down what you see

Pack up the stars
Before you come for me


And if you're dealing a line of fate

Who's going to tell her the reason I'm late?


You took her soul, so incomplete

Why don't you stop fighting me?

You’re in control, so why should you be
...
Fighting me?
Fighting me?
Fighting me?

How to be sure
That what you say is the truth

When I see flaws
In everything that you do?


And if I'm passing a sentence on you

I would give you the crown for a fool


And now you've lost
There’s nothing left to defend

You came so close
To the king and all of his men


And if you’re dealing in a trick of the light

I need to see her face for one last time

You took her soul, so incomplete

Why don’t you stop fighting me?

You’re in control, so why should you be
...
Fighting me?
Fighting me?
Fighting me?

Foster the People – Houdini Lyrics 13 years ago
I got the CD today, and here are a few corrections to the lyrics. Unfortunately the end of the song where he starts singing "raise up to your ability" doesn't have any lyrics listed. :/ Also, I wrote what it says in on the album lyrics, but I still kind of think when I listen to the song it sounds like he singing "gain again what they want to steal". It's hard to tell.

Rise above, gonna start the war!
Oh, what you want, what you need, what'd you come here for?
Well, an eye for an eye and an 'f' for fight
They're taking me down as the prisoners riot

Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear

When I feel kinda bad and don't want to stress
I just pass it off on ability
Well you got what you want, what you never knew
It's a perfect gift from me to you

Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear

(Raise up to your ability)

You gotta focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Now focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal

OneRepublic – Everybody Loves Me Lyrics 14 years ago
Alright, these lyrics were driving me nuts, so I went through and listened to the song. This is what I got:

Well, hell, she's a shadow in my backseat
And her friends are standing right in front of me
Worldwide from the cimarron of turkey
Open up, said, "Everybody loves me"
And you don't have to make a sound
'Cause they got what you need
What you need

Got love for the people that have wronged you
God love all your sentimental virtue
Eight balls with the takers that'll make you
Lay cards with the lovers that'll hate you
And you don't have to make a sound
'Cause they got what you need
What you need

Make you say,
"Oh my!"
Feels just like I don't try
Look so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
Head down
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is, everybody loves me
Everybody loves me

Well I pray the music don't stop until I turn gray
Stars forever like John Sousa never fade
He had a beautiful child, named her Desiree
Hope I'm remembered for the things that I never made
'Cause you don't have to make a sound
When they got what you need

Make you say,
"Oh my!"
Feels just like I don't try
Look so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
Head down
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is, everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody, everybody, oh!
Everybody, everybody!

Don't need my health
Got my name and got my wealth
I stare at the sun
Just for kicks all by myself
I lose track of time
So I might be past my prime
But I'm feeling oh-so good
Yeah!

Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
Head down
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is, everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody

I'm still unsure about that "cimarron of Turkey" bit because it doesn't come up with anything with I Google "cimarron" and "Turkey" together. But that's what it sounds like when I listen to the song. Everything else I'm pretty sure about, though. I also agree with what the first poster said about "Well, hell, she's a shadow in my backseat".

The Dear Hunter – The Bitter Suite I: Meeting Ms. Leading / Through the Dime Lyrics 15 years ago
I just love how the lyrics elude to his infatuation with her beauty. It goes along with the idea that he's entered this world that completely blinds a person with its smoke and mirrors. The song is all filled with physical attraction. "She spoke with words beyond me" / "Her lips hid her tongue from the world"... I LOVE that lyric. Her lips--a physical asset of Ms. Leading--hide what she's saying to the world... which is basically "come have sex with me for money" and "I have absolutely nothing to offer you".

The Dear Hunter – Where The Road Parts Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree with xXscabsandgunsXx that this song is from Ms. Leading's (btw, I LOVE THAT NAME--I'm sure this has been discussed on numerous occasions, but... misleading? Ms. Leading? LOVE how Casey did that) perspective. I think this part sort of says it's Ms. Leading speaking to the dear hunter: "Now if you were in bloom, I'd pluck your petals clean." That totally makes me think of a person who only uses another person for personal gain, or in Ms. Leading's case--sleeps with other men for money.
