Crystal Ball Lyrics
Who is the man I see
Where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
Under the iron sea
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Lines ever more unclear
I'm not sure I'm even here
The more I look the more I think that I'm
Starting to disappear
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong
I don't know where I am
And I don't really care
I look myself in the eye
There's no one there
I fall upon the earth
I call upon the air
But all I get is the same old vacant stare
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong
This Album has all the shades of quality music . Another good song . I like the opening paragraph the most .
'I lost my heart, I buried it too deep Under the iron sea'
Take over the world guys .
Love that point of view!

I think this is the best song on Under The Iron Sea, and my favourite part is definitely the chorus. Very different. Very fun to sing on SingStar as well xD
About a man who's lost and looking for any means of a way to get him back on the right track so he can be the person he used to be? I like this song, it has a nice beat to it
@bloc_party15 yes took his own ‘ship of fools’ so to speak and realizes how upside Down he is, when did that happen and How did I not Notice my fall on my Face( as drugs always leads to a Face plant ) Let’s right This Ship! Thank you God that he Got Better. Good for You Tom!!!

hes looking into the future wanting to know if things will be alright, at the moment he seems to be lost. seems as if he just needs someone or something to reassure him that everything will be alright. he wants to feel like he did before when he was sure of things, right now hes just lost.

agreed, im having trouble getting into this album, i think its one of those one's you've got to listen to a few times to really start to get it, you start to enjoy it more with farmiliarity. But i think its very different from hopes and fears. This is my favorite song off the album thus far. But i think this song is anything but juvenile, it's obviously about confusion and ambiguity in life. Dont we all wish we could look to some sort of crystal ball to lead us through - it's relatable
hes lost himself. as time went on, hes completely transformed and conformed into the status quo, now hes wanting to be who he used to be...thats just how i understand it
The first time I heard Crystal Ball I didn't really like it, but after a few listens I LOVE IT. I definitely like the verses better than the chorus in this one... both the 1st and 2nd verses of this song are wonderful... especially the climax,
"I don't where I am, And I don't really care, I look myself in the eye, There's no one there. I fall upon the earth, I call upon the air, but all I get is the same old vacant stare."
@Purifiedx me too!

Keane are surely one of the biggest if not the biggest sceptical band around at the moment underlined with lines like "i'm fading out" "everything i know is wrong" "not sure i;m even here" Yes Keane you are here!
I beliave it
s about a man who has lost faith in himself and needs reassurance that what hes doing really matters. He longing for something to bring the meaning back to his life. Great song in every way!
