...And The Battle Begun Lyrics
Am I crazy because I want to touch your skin?
Is it ludicrous that I’ve got nothing to believe in that was built by human hands or controlled by demand?
So if love is true, let’s burn the factory, take off your shoes it’s time for dancing
I never leave the house without a pocket of pills,
Operator, operator, I’ve got no solitude
From the digging hands (no way)
I think I’m losing it and I can’t keep up
operator, operator It’s nothing personal
But I’m choking tears, I’m thinking about givin in
It’s no better than before, it’s just never mentioned
We keep running this race that can’t be won
I keep coming up empty
Doctor doctor you know they try to sell my trust
And then call me crazy
Box to box you know it never stops,
We’re playing boomerang highways
In an endless search for meaning I pray for something real
One kiss for all the world, a taste for all that’s precious
Take it away release your tension
All their paper never feels like my lovers kiss
Or the warmth of her touch while we dream
So if I’m insane so be it, I’ll trade in everything
One kiss for all the world, one more for all that’s precious
Come on and take it away. Release all your tension
Give me something to hold on to.
Are we going nowhere?
We need disaster to love until we're blinded
indeed we are caught, what if we get free?
Take it away and it’s all your strife
Take it away release your tension
Is it ludicrous that I’ve got nothing to believe in that was built by human hands or controlled by demand?
So if love is true, let’s burn the factory, take off your shoes it’s time for dancing
Operator, operator, I’ve got no solitude
From the digging hands (no way)
I think I’m losing it and I can’t keep up
operator, operator It’s nothing personal
But I’m choking tears, I’m thinking about givin in
It’s no better than before, it’s just never mentioned
I keep coming up empty
Doctor doctor you know they try to sell my trust
And then call me crazy
Box to box you know it never stops,
We’re playing boomerang highways
In an endless search for meaning I pray for something real
One kiss for all the world, a taste for all that’s precious
Or the warmth of her touch while we dream
So if I’m insane so be it, I’ll trade in everything
One kiss for all the world, one more for all that’s precious
We need disaster to love until we're blinded
indeed we are caught, what if we get free?
Take it away release your tension

i think Matt's trying to convey his thoughts of anguish towards the kinda capitalist centred society we live in today:- "nothing to believe in that was built by human hands or controlled by demand" "let's burn the factory" there maybe a little bit of resentment towards the awkwardness he may have felt with a girl as a result of this type of atmosphere and fake or almost plastic environment we live in as well.And how it will never replace the thrill of being with someone? "Am i crazy cos i want to touch your skin" "all their paper never feels like my lovers kiss or the warmth of her touch while we dream" Like he just wants a world of loving and happiness something basic like that but it's polluted by all the shit through the media and consumerism to make it seem like an unrealistic goal.
Basically Love and people mean more to him than like consumerism and products.
these arent the right lyrics, and only cover the better half of the song. I cant believe more people haven't commented on this song!! it's Rx bandit's biggest hit on their absolute best album!!! There isnt one note out of place in the entire CD, i LOVE this CD so much i want to take heroin and fight with it's imaginary personification myself! :D
Love should be the foundation of everything you do, not money or selfishness
Woah Alex, chill out man.
This is obviously Rx Bandits magnum opus. The beginning of this song when everything ties in, fades in and out, then into the song, it's really amazing. I love this album.
