Love Steals Us from Loneliness Lyrics
through a city that's falling apart
on a night that rises and clears
in a sky that's clouded by years
my anger is a form of madness
So I'd rather have hope than sadness
you said something stupid like
love steals us from loneliness
happy birthday, are you lonely yet?
in the shape of a smile
on a night that could never surprise me
don't tell me you're afraid of the past
it's only the future that didn't last
you're kidding yourself, kidding yourself
you're going nowhere and you're
going there fast
you said something stupid like
love steals us from loneliness
happy birthday, are you lonely yet?
are you lonely yet?
ok i have never heard of idlewild before but i have heard this song a few times now and although musically its not my cup of tea, I love the lyrics, its a very direct, simple but intelligent song. I love the first verse especially. Wow.
to me this song is between two people, one person in the relationship keeps saying "love steals us from loneliness" but i think the other person is unhappy in the relationship but hes having hope that it will carry on and get better. Mean while hes lonely and kidding himslef into something which can never be replaced..... in the end no matter how in love you are with some one loneliness will always be around you.
Idlewild played this last night at the Scottish Tsunami Concert at the SECC. It was absolutely amazing live! so was the other 2 songs they played "you held the world in your arms" and "american english"
Seriously guys - this new Idlewild stuff is NOTHING compared to their old stuff, especiall the '100 Broken Windows' album. You have to check it out.
However, I do think this is a strong single, a lot more mellower than their first two albums. But lets be honest, 'The Remote Part' was heading that way. To me, they were a totally different band when they recording 'Hope Is Important'.
oh, and shouldn't it be 'my anger is a form of madness' beacuse then it rhymes with sadness??
wahey im seein idlewild in april wahey
I'm so in love with this song. The lyrics are amazing. And i think it is madness not majesty...
the chorus remids me of a relationship i am in now. for the longest time i wanted someone to be with, to love and be loved. but now that i have found it i realize that surprsingly i am lonlier now. i have grown distant with all of my friends, and they make assumptions about whom i rather spend my time with. i dont think ill have many people celebrating my birthday with me this year....
yer it's madness. who write this? the lyrics above i mean?
i love this song. the end 'are you lonely yet.. are you lonely yet?' is just so amazing
