Tyrant Lyrics
Everytime you come around
There's a bouquet for me
A corsage of promises
And I am pinned
Like a butterfly on a card
I'm naked and I'm scarred
And you're so perfect to me
Violent ties with hands like a steeple
Tell me lies with a tongue like a needle
I let the words shot down my throat
A face like an iron fist
That I can never resist
I learn the ...
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
I'm stuck just like a pig
Roasting in your eyes
I'll believe anything that you want
You gotta teach me how to live
Cause you make me wanna die
You took it all, now you're all I've got
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
There's noises in my head
Just noises in my head
If I could I'd drown them all out
I'd bury all of these noises
From your tyrant mouth
You're just a noise in my head
You're just a noise in my head
I'll drown you out
And I'll bury all the noises
From your hateful little mouth
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
Words of wisdom
Words of wisdom
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
There's a bouquet for me
A corsage of promises
And I am pinned
Like a butterfly on a card
I'm naked and I'm scarred
And you're so perfect to me
Tell me lies with a tongue like a needle
I let the words shot down my throat
A face like an iron fist
That I can never resist
I learn the ...
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
Roasting in your eyes
I'll believe anything that you want
You gotta teach me how to live
Cause you make me wanna die
You took it all, now you're all I've got
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth
Just noises in my head
If I could I'd drown them all out
I'd bury all of these noises
From your tyrant mouth
You're just a noise in my head
I'll drown you out
And I'll bury all the noises
From your hateful little mouth
Words of wisdom
Words of wisdom
Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth

I went to a HotHotHeat and Bravery show the other night. The lead singer of the Bravery actually told the meaning of this song. When he used to live in NYC he fell in love with this girl that lived in the apartment nextdoor to him and they dated. However, when they broke up he could still "hear her" through the walls with other guys. Very heartbreaking I know. He looked very painful while he performed this one.
i love this song its really deep, and sad the bravery are sooooo cool!
This is one of my favorite songs on this cd. I can't wait to see them at Coachella!
THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM (sorry I had to vent right there....just couldnt believe I was only the third person to comment on this song) Its a shame I wasnt able to go to Coachella but I'll be in Chicago during Lollapalooza so I'm so glad I'll get to see them then (and the killers and bravery on the same bill...cant wait to see the fur fly lol)....anyway, the song.....Tyrant is so dark and moody and catchy-as-hell that you can't possibly not like it. I think its about a really abusive relationship when you feel so completely dependent on the other person that you forget everyone else. You shouldnt be with them but youre too scared not to be so you just hang on for the ride...Really great to listen to over and over again
Thank you for that comment, Lindsey. It's nice to know that somebody shares my viewpoint on this song. Everybody I know who likes The Bravery NEVER mentions this as one of their favorites... meanwhile Tyrant is my favorite song on the whole CD. This song is truly amazing, and I found myself listening to it over 90 times in total, but now that I've lost my iPod somewhere in my house for three weeks (yes, it's pathetic.) I haven't been able to listen to it. With the meaning.. you kind of have to listen to it to find out. It's a pretty dark and mysterious song, but it's really good. Also, the lyrics aren't correct above. It's not "I let the words shot down my throat", it's "And every word's shot down my throat".
Aww..that's really sad. But anyway, this is my favorite song on the cd also. I just think it's great!
yea i agree to wow shes tall. just went the bravery concert just now in singapore and the lead singer told the same story too. he even say tat durian taste like some fuked up shit! LOL! anyway the concert is really great
