Symphonies Lyrics
I can't disguise, I was hypnotized
Lost a track, struggled back
I wanted easy stuff to please me
Something in the dark began to squeeze me
Seen it, there, been there in the mirror
Totally focused, no hocus pocus
Dare I give in to this thing gripping my skin
To win, thinking how to add
The lights of a car go by in the stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams, come out
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score, rise up, angels play
Let my loneliness gets blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
I lie down in the dust just under your eye
A scrap of paper, thin as vapor
Filling my clothes like smoke
A couple of the wires in my heart are broke
I float, I miss, something, nothing
But dreams, schemes, moments wasted
Taste that tasted, fate I'm fated
Re-edited again then copy, pasted
The lights of a car go by in the stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams, come out
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score, rise up, angels play
Let my loneliness gets blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
When I wanna quit, I suffocate it
I chew Bubblicious, stress repetitious
Vicious, I'm one outsider
Up above the streets on the DC Wire
Higher, fire in my guts
In a rut, but what I've got
Is in a can, no other human
But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony as
The lights of a car go by in the stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams, come out
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score, rise up, angels play
Let my lone lines get blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Lost a track, struggled back
I wanted easy stuff to please me
Something in the dark began to squeeze me
Seen it, there, been there in the mirror
Totally focused, no hocus pocus
Dare I give in to this thing gripping my skin
To win, thinking how to add
The lights of a car go by in the stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams, come out
Gimme more than the life I see
Score, rise up, angels play
Let my loneliness gets blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
A scrap of paper, thin as vapor
Filling my clothes like smoke
A couple of the wires in my heart are broke
I float, I miss, something, nothing
But dreams, schemes, moments wasted
Taste that tasted, fate I'm fated
Re-edited again then copy, pasted
The lights of a car go by in the stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams, come out
Gimme more than the life I see
Score, rise up, angels play
Let my loneliness gets blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
I chew Bubblicious, stress repetitious
Vicious, I'm one outsider
Up above the streets on the DC Wire
Higher, fire in my guts
In a rut, but what I've got
Is in a can, no other human
But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony as
The lights of a car go by in the stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams, come out
Gimme more than the life I see
Score, rise up, angels play
Let my lone lines get blown away
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Gimme, gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see

pretty
i love this song. the chorus is so addicting.
agree, very nice song overall. However, I think it sounds like a mixture of Umbrella by Rihanna and Such Great Heights by The Postal Service .

I think this song is about wanting more out of life, which is pretty much evident from the lines
"Gimme, gimme symphonies Gimme more than the life I see"
He wants to find meaning and purpose, direction - something he's sacrifised in return for the "easy stuff" that pleases him. The world passes him by, and he's just another face in the crowd (standing pretty much unseen) until he decides to be true to himself, open his eyes to the world and what he's become.
The video to this song (check it out on YouTube), too, I think says he's living so many different lives but none of them are real.
"But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony
Gimme, gimme symphonies Gimme more than the life I see"
I agree it's about wanting more out of life. The DJ on radio 104.5 philadelphia stated If you like "Bittersweet Symphony" you'd like this. Not really alike but it's a good song.
(like my name) i heard first on 105.3 :)

i like this song a lot. i think he feels like hes beeing a little ignored by others and wats to be less ignored ("The lights of a car go by in the stream Seems like I stand pretty much unseen") as danninj said probably bored in life and wants something worth while to do. (get a hobey no offense)
I'm pretty sure it's "DC Wire" not DCY-er, and Score, Rise up, not adds up.
Watch the video and you'll see where I get these corrections from.
I believe it goes "Filling my clothes like smoke A couple of the wires in my heart are broke I throw, I miss, something, nothing"
I think he has become one of the 11 11 guides for others, something that is spreading like wildfire in this world. He is no longer a sleep, his eyes are open. It's a big change from his past music. He has purpose to the words a new direction with a meaning. Some will get it, other won't till later or maybe never, no one can make you see.
I think it's:
I chew bubblicious, stress repetitious Vicious, I'm one outsider
