My Precious Lyrics
can't hold you down
can I be you
there's nothing I can do
a slave to your hands
climb up above
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind
where did you go
where did you hide
all I can do
is watch you pass by
climb up above
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind
everytime I try to take it back
I know I don't wanna live like that
I'll wait for tomorrow
too tired to go the other way
too late to wait another day
I'm going on
climb up above
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind
climb up above
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind
can I be you
there's nothing I can do
a slave to your hands
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind
where did you hide
all I can do
is watch you pass by
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind
I know I don't wanna live like that
I'll wait for tomorrow
too tired to go the other way
too late to wait another day
I'm going on
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind
your precious time
don't worry your time
don't hurry your mind

I know this is probably not what it was written about, but whenever I listen to this I have visions of Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings attempting to take the Ring to Mordor (the ring which Gollum often refers to as "my precious"). The ambience of the music feels like it paints a picture of the desolate wastes Frodo has to cross along his journey; and certain lines, like "Too tired to go the other way/ Too late to wait another day/ I'm going on," and the climbing references, could portray the determination he has to get there, despite the difficulty. The overall eerie and sort of vague feeling of the song also makes me think of how Frodo probably feels as the ring's dark power is affecting him--like he is a slave to its often overwhelming influence, and that he feels isolated from those around him ("Where did you go? / Where did you hide? / All I can do is watch you pass by").
Whatever this song is actually about, though, I love it :) Lifehouse does not ever disappoint.
Beautiful...
NICE!!!
uh.. isnt that coldplay? yeah it kinda sounds like coldplay with a Lifehouse twist... COOL!
amazing song, it really shows his voice off and when he goes from low to high it blends so well and isnt just a definate change, me dad loves this LH track which is WIKID
the lyrics are a bit wrong ive noticed it goes " cant hold you down / cant hurry you up/ (the up is the little thingy he does at the end that doesnt really sound like it, oh listen and youll know wot i mean. theres nothing i can do / a slave to your hands
amazing song. im not really sure what its meaning is, i think thats why i like it so much, its kinda mysterious... god our jas know how to pu an atmosphere to a song dont he
The meaning is really unclear in this song, which adds to its appeal. It sounds beautiful, Jason is so talented, I love listening to his voice! This is a great song.
This song is sooo lovely. It's totally not Coldplay.
This song is about time. If you listen to each lyric it refers to time in some form or another. i.e. "There's nothing I can do, a slave to your hands." Once again refering to the hands on a clock, and the fact that we cannot do anything to stop it.
