The future hates cast asleep, but the film remains
This aftertaste, all I wanted's that which I gave
Master slave, I learn fast on sinking ships
And I can talk, I place price on tick and tock
And it's a lonely silence until dawn
Rites of passage open doors
But I'm not frightened
Master slave, line and sinker
Take the bait
Where others float, you and I crash land
Where others float, you and I crash land
Where I see us in far away skies
I could not say where I am lost
The darkness falls upon the day
There's no answer
This aftertaste, all I wanted's that which I gave
Master slave, I learn fast on sinking ships
And I can talk, I place price on tick and tock
And it's a lonely silence until dawn
Rites of passage open doors
But I'm not frightened
Master slave, line and sinker
Take the bait
Where others float, you and I crash land
I could not say where I am lost
The darkness falls upon the day

Sorry for not capitilizing. Go easy on me, guys. I had to decipher these lyrics myself. Hope that I did them justice.
I'll spare you all with my interpretation since these lyrics aren't confirmed. I do have to say that this song is my favorite so far. It's big, beautiful and epic - somwhere along the lines of Ornament / The Last Wrongs. I'm so gonna' get busted for even knowing what this sounds like already. I promise to buy at least 2 copies of this album. It's worth it. Once they have it mastered we will have THE album of 2007. I am blown away by Oceansizes' talent. These guys don't know how to do anything besides deliver.
Need to correct myself. I believe that it's "I've learned fast on sinking ships".
I prefer to read the line as:
"Where I see us in far away skies, I cannot say WHEN I am lost, the darkness falls upon the day"
*Where I see us in far away skies, I could not say Where I am lost, the darkness falls upon the day
I'm pretty sure it's
"All I wanted's not which I gave"
also unsure if it's "future days" or "future age"
but good job.
And awesome song, first time I heard it, after the first chords I had to stop everything I was doing and just...listen. It rivals Music For A Nurse or Ornament in my eyes.
I agree with you on that last note. I think this and Trail of Fire are Oceansize's two greatest songs (and the two greatest songs of all-time).
