Comprachicos Lyrics

Manipulation doesn't shape me
I am just filling the bottle out
and even though this glass restrains me,
I can’t see anything to yell about

Well I could fight this
But I may die
And all i want is to be the apple in your eye
Well I could stay here trapped on my face
Listen to the ones that put me in my place

I am a serial fantasy destroyer
And you wanna know what I’m going to do about it
You thought that my hands were behind my back
Thought I didn’t have the nerve to throw it away

'Cause I got the patience
To see that you drown,
To watch you go down

I am the reality you wish you had
I fought your constant manipulation
All this time you thought that I believed you
The more you say, the easier to throw it away

'Cause I got the patience
To see that you drown,
To watch you go down

Or again...not as a reply:

Manipulation doesn't shape me I am just filling the bottle out and even though this glass restrains me, I can’t see anything to yell about

well i could fight this, but i may die. and all i want is to be the apple in your eye, but i can stay here, strap on my face. listen to the ones who put me in my place.

I am a serial fantasy destroyer And you wanna know what I’m going to do about it You thought that my hands were behind my back Though I didn’t have the nerve to throw it away

'cause I’ve got the patience To see that you drown to watch you go down

Throw it away 'cause I’ve got the patience To see that you drown to watch you go down

I am a reality invention fighter At war against your constant manipulation All this time you thought that I believed you The more you say, the easier to throw it away

'cause I’ve got the patience To see that you drown to watch you go down

Throw it away 'cause I’ve got the patience To see that you drown to watch you go down

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Comprachicos lyrics by Pendulum

I thought this was very industrial...kinda gothic influenced. Marilyn Manson comes to mind especially with the first verse.

Fantastic, massive album. Miles ahead of In Silico, maybe not quite an improvement on Hold Your Colour, but they've certainly taken the best elements of both previous albums and worked HARD on them to make something entirely different and FUCKING awesome! Loving the water motif through the entire album too. This one seems to be about resisiting manipulation and having the courage to stand up for yourself as an individual. The themes aren't the most groundbreaking, but still great stuff from my favourite DnB guys.

Gonna be insane live...

Nah, I thought it was more like Nine Inch Nails. But still industrial and a great song.

The first 20 seconds sound like they are or were influenced heavily by Celldweller. I don't doubt that they probably were.

I completely agree with this, the first time I heard it I wondered if Klayton had teamed up with them for that bit. Shocking how similar it sounds.

I think the start sounds very similar to Into The Void by Nine Inch Nails.

I think this song is about the abusive parents of a child, who wants nothing more for them to die.

Definite Celldweller influence here. Loving it!
