A Commotion Lyrics

It flickered to light
It turned broke what was right
It got the roots by the hair
What was was no longer there
It blocked out the sun
It climbed up the stairs
And then it slipped through the cracks
I wasn’t watching my back

A commotion!
A commotion!
A commotion!
A commotion!

If it rips you all apart
The grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart
The grudge has still got your heart

It stalked through the rooms
And then it tore the sheets off the bed
It ripped the books off the shelf
It turned heaven to hell
It held me down tight
It took all my fight
It broke all the windows
It came flame from the kindle

A commotion!
A commotion!
A commotion!
A commotion!

If it rips you all apart
The grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart
The grudge has still got your heart

The grudge has still got your heart

Wow, this song is so powerful. I'm so in love with the suspense throughout it and the beauty of its peak. Simply beautiful.

My Opinion

Yeah, I love that too...and how her voice is so soft and tender when she sings, "And then it slipped through the cracks, I wasn't watching my back." Her voice just melts me.

I find it really hard to tell that the guys are singing 'a commotion' It must be mixed somehow, coz to me it sounds like the last syllable they sing ends with the 'sh' sound... tres confusing.

My Interpretation

The "shun" syllable is just quieter. Took me a while too.
